So: No guarantee or promise for anything below for the final game! The Game Engine Replay system: rewind/replay Online leaderboards/multiplayer Improved render quality" Of course it isn't going to happen anytime soon, but at one point they were researching it, which is a lot more than "not even interested". There are a lot of things they are interested in that we haven't seen yet, hence why it is in development/alpha and not a full release game.
I believe they stated that it was something they REALLY wanted to do, but the deciding factor would be if it was possible or not. However, Rigs of Rods added multiplayer with collisions IIRC, so it might be possible.
Yep, the devs have stated multiple times they want it as much as we do. The main issue is it's currently not viable for the devs to even begin researching it when the game is still in early access, especially as it may not even be technically possible. Although I believe tdev has stated he has 'an idea' of how it can be implemented Who knows, maybe one day it will be possible...
Can't tell if you're sarcastic or not... but if not, then in (maybe) the latest update about multiplayer, they added working collisions without having the vehicles explode
