Update 10.9.2
🕑 Added 2023-05-05 05:00:42 +0000 UTCThroughout the past month, my main focus has been on enhancing the AI for racing in BeamNG. Although there have not been any major breakthroughs, I am fully committed to this goal and will continue working tirelessly towards improving the AI. While we await further developments, I have decided to release a new Indoor Derby Arena and a few bug fixes.
In the attached image, you can see the racing line points that are being used for testing. Each point represents a specific speed and target for the AI vehicles to follow, as well as a target point for the AI. After each lap, I analyze the fastest vehicle's racing line, including the player's racing line and speed in certain areas. While BeamNG already tracks this data for the scriptAI, the AI does not currently adjust this line over time. My plan is to use this information to help the AI learn and adjust the fastest path around the track over time.
One issue I'm currently facing is that the AI vehicles are designed to slow down based on curvature between three points, which is a good method for normal driving, but not for racing AI.
Certainly! Developing racing AI can be challenging, and there are several factors to consider when designing it. The racing line is just one aspect, as there are many other elements that need to be taken into account, such as the physics of the vehicles, the behavior of the other AI vehicles on the track, and more. It requires a lot of testing and iteration to create an AI system that can compete effectively with human players.
