Contributions summary:Qiang primarily focused on enhancing the `ApolloMapTool` within the simulator. They introduced functionality to export HD maps for Apollo, initially by adding the HD map export feature, and then fixing the issue with using `HD.Id` with a string. Later, they also added the `AutowareMapTool` to expand map export options and finally integrated features to import lane and line data for Lanelet2 maps while also incorporating functionality to import and connect traffic lights and stop signs within the OpenDRIVE exporter.
