    I use a controller for this game, and I just love to push my keyboard aside and kick my feet up. But when I want to change vehicles or customize them, I have to actually move (what blasphemy!) to reach my keyboard. I never use slow motion as well due to the fact that if I want to actually see a cool high speed collision, I have to pause the physics, activate slow motion, then unpause them. Trivial, I know, but annoying nonetheless. There are enough buttons to support all features of this game on the controllers. Just my opinion for the controls here
    Click left thumbstick: Headlights
    Left bumper: Slow motion
    Start: change car
    D-Pad up: Customization menu
    I don't know if this is possible, but holding the left and right triggers would set the spawn point
    I dont know about PS4 controllers, but as far as I'm aware they have the same buttons xbox controllers have.
    If there is a way to bind controls, that would suffice as well.

    You could set the controls for each button yourself if you spend some time reading the wiki. You could also search a bit and download someone else's inputmap. But I agree with you though, setting controls is not user friendly yet. I hope you can set the controls in-game in the future, that would be much easier to do. BeamNG.drive is in early alpha stage, keep that in mind!

    Better input mapping is welcomed in my mind! I'd love to be able to just go into a menu, select my controller, and map different buttons to different functions right from there!

    Exactly what I am thinking :)

    But LB is already clutch, so that would break the game if you like manual.
