The AI feature allows the Artificial Intelligence to take over one or more vehicles, and drive using several different modes.
This articles introduces its fundamentals and use.
Activating AI
AI can be accessed and activated in different ways:
- Radial Menu
- AI Control App

Radial Menu
The Radial Menu offers the easiest way to access most of the AI features.
This menu will appear when opening the sidebar, by default, with the ESC key.
Then navigate to the AI button, and from there all AI modes can be activated by simply clicking the corresponding slice.
Modes like Chase, Flee, Follow, Random will be applied to all available vehicles except the player’s one.
Some AI modes will appear only if more than one vehicle has been spawned
The Traffic section will open a submenu that enables you to quickly spawn and manage traffic vehicles:
Spawn (Normal)to create traffic with a typical group of vehiclesSpawn (Police)to create traffic that includes a few police vehiclesStart Trafficto enable traffic mode for all other vehicles, including ones that you manually spawned in
When using the Radial Menu to create traffic, it will use your settings from Options -> Gameplay.
