Research on different games

I looked at a few different racing games that contain AI to study and understand how the AI works in these different games to help me produce an appropriate AI for our game. Here are a few games that I looked at.

the first game I looked at was Mario Karts AI. It most likely works by having some waypoints as dots which tells the AI where to go, the AI will choose different routes to go if theres for example a power-up. The game will speed the AI up or slow it down depending on how far it is from the player for added difficulty.

The second game with AI I looked at was Forza Horizon 4, Forza uses AI to replicate human drivers accurately, the developers looked at real drivers and designed the AI to drive as closely to human drivers would as possible.
