    I've been driving around with the AI traffic turned on and it's really fun. It's like when you get bored and decide to follow the traffic laws in GTA, or other driving games. It's quite satisfying, at least for me. Anyway, I noticed a few problems with the AI behaviour, such as:

    Getting stuck on corners:

    I believe this could be fixed simply by adjusting the positions of the pathfinding nodes at corners, though this may take lots of time.

    Treating parking spaces as normal road:

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I think these blue boxes are parking spaces. If the AI sees a car not moving in this area, it should pathfind around it. Instead, I have caused a traffic jam.

    Getting stuck while turning around:

    The way the AI turns around seems too haphazard. They just choose a direction to steer and reverse at full throttle, and this causes them to collide with whatever is behind them. In this amusing scenario, one car stops, gets stuck, the one behind it stops, tries to turn around but hits the bridge and gets stuck too, and you end up with a line of Austin Powerses.

    Note: I have only investigated this on the Italy map. The issues highlighted may or may not be present on other maps.
