Does LongitudinalDistanceAction enforce control strategy to lateral dimension?

Describe the problem

Due to the action table, the LongitudinalDistanceAction enforces control strategy to the longitudinal dimension (think of the throttle). The action does not enforce control strategy on the lateral dimension (it does not "steer" the actor).

What is the behavior of the LongitudinalDistanceAction, when the referenced vehicle is not on the longitudinal axes with the actor? What happens, when the referenced vehicle is moving in the lateral direction?

Or in other words: How would it look like when the LongitudinalDistanceAction enforces longitudinal control and in the same time on the lateral dimension, the default controller keeps the lane?

The same question arises for the LateralDistanceAction: Does LateralDistanceAction enforces longitudinal control strategy?
