397. ACC lead vehicle changing speed

The Lead vehicle changing speed scenario verifies whether the ego, while ACC is activated, can safely adjust when the car ahead of it changes speed.

Environmental requirements: A road at least 100 meters long.

ego behavior: The ego drives in a lane behind the lead vehicle with ACC activated.

Other actors' behavior: At the start of the scenario, the lead vehicle is ahead of the ego in the same lane. Then it slows down and then speeds up again.
