Feature Request: Distance to Destination Metric in Planner with RViz Visualization
Description
I propose the addition of a "distance_to_destination" metric output from the planner component in Autoware. This metric should represent the remaining distance to the destination for a vehicle at any given moment during its mission.
Furthermore, it would be incredibly useful to visualize this metric in RViz, offering real-time feedback on the distance left to travel.
Why This Would Be Useful
Enhanced Situational Awareness: Operators monitoring the vehicle's progress would benefit from a clear, quantifiable measure of how far the vehicle is from its destination, enhancing situational awareness.
Increased Safety: By continuously monitoring the distance to the destination, it's easier to identify discrepancies or deviations from the planned route early, potentially increasing safety through timely interventions.
User Experience: For end-users or passengers within autonomous vehicles, having access to this information can improve the user experience by setting clear expectations about the journey's duration.
Overall, the integration of a "distance_to_destination" metric and its visualization in RViz would bring substantial benefits in terms of operational efficiency, safety, and user satisfaction in Autoware's ecosystem.
