For my research I began looking into how AI works in different games. First I looked at different racing games on Itch.io and studied what the AI does and how it moves along the track. I discovered that cars are usually able to speed up, slow down and turn around a corner at set speeds.
I then looked at some tutorials as to how I could make an object turn on its own. I found 2 reliable systems; Bezier curves and waypoints.
