Hi, I saw the video(YT below) of the sensors category, is there a way to enable this currently or what is it actually for?
It is just for research and development in autonomous driving applications. I highly doubt we will ever see stuff like this in the game. Beamng the company is just trying to diversify it's portfolio so they don't have to rely on just sales of the game.
But they allow a non-commercial version to be downloaded which runs with BeamngPy if I understand correct, I will mainly only do the LIDAR etc for fun.
I mean, Beam is having trouble with AI traffic right now, What if they were just trying to bamboozle a uni to throw grant money their way so they could fix their bad AI with virtual friggin laser beams?
Well, I will pay for LIDAR etc just to play with it but what sort of errors are currently in the traffic AI?
Go into search bar, type 'AI Traffic' and read some of the threads. The gist is the AI is running around like it got a lobotomy.
oh wow, I didn't realize Beam gave a hotfix. Steam must have went all stealth mode on me or something. Still, LIDAR would def help keep traffic off of poles, kerbs, and each other. it might even allow the AI to at least try to work on maps that have wonky or missing AI enabled roads.
They are not "trying," they are doing it and has been for a while. They have been working with Audi and another company I cannot remember the name of for some time now. Please do not spread misinformation as people on here take stuff very literally.
