    Hello there!
    Right now Ai vehicles pretty much just ignore horns and when i flash my high beams.
    I'd like the AI cars to react to that.
    For example, If they were blocking a lane on a highway they could change lanes and let me pass them (of course only if it's safe and they won't leave their path).
    Depending on the situation, AI cars could also speed up or start going if they're currently stopped.
    Using the horn or flashing high beams next to a police car could make them chase you.
    Also if an AI car thinks it might crash into another vehicle it could use it's horn to signal that.

    What are your thoughts? Please devs. Add it. PLEASE!

    or the ability to pull them over and give them a ticket, like the police do to us

    I also thought about that idea, I often horn when behind an AI traffic that is too slow, just for the fun of it...
    Now that I know LUA better and better, I think it is possible to identify the car that is right in front of you, but I don't know how ca' make this car change lane. AI traffic never changes lane, never passes. You can make it accelerate, but if there is another car in front, it won't.
    I'll test the idea but I'm not sure it is doable.

    The file at the bottom of this linked page might achieve what you want the horn to do
