Auto Mode in Autoware with AWSIM-Labs

[supithcha]

I am currently working with Autoware and AWSIM-Labs to create test scenarios. I have encountered an issue related to the Auto mode in Autoware that I hope you can help me with.

Setup Details:

• The Autoware version is RViz version 11.2.12 (ROS2) Compiled against Qt version 5.15.3. Compiled against OGRE version 1.12.1 (Rhagorthua), AWSIM-Labs version is Unity 2022.3.21f1.
• I am using Autoware and AWSIM-Labs without modifying any code in either project.
• I have added some route traffic NPC cars in AWSIM-Labs.
• I am able to choose the goal pose when running AWSIM-Labs and Autoware.

Issue:

• When I start the AWSIM project, the NPC cars start normally, but the Ego car does not start moving after choosing the route.
• I can still use the following command to engage the Ego car:
  source install/setup.bash
ros2 topic pub /autoware/engage autoware_auto_vehicle_msgs/msg/Engage '{engage: True}' -1
• However, when I first started using it, I could enable the Ego car using the Auto button in Autoware. Now, the Auto mode enable button is disabled.
  This isn't a major problem since I can manually engage the Ego car using the command line, but I would like to understand the cause of this issue and restore the functionality of the Auto button.

Questions:

• 1. Could you help identify the cause of this problem?
• 2. Do you have any suggestions on how to make the Auto button work again?

I have attached a video demonstrating the issue. In the video, you can see that the Auto mode enable button is disabled.

Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I continue working on the test scenarios.
