Artificial intelligence in racing games

Abstract

A key aspect in the development of computer games is the behavior of non-player characters. Each type of game poses different challenges for the development of a successful artificial intelligence. In racing games, this translates into the programming of an AI which can adapt to the driving style and to the driving capabilities of the human player so as to improve its gaming experience. In addition, in racing games, the behavior of non-player characters should be plausible, challenging throughout the game, adaptive, and it should also lead to realistic group behaviors.
