I, mid-tier sim racer, have no chance against good AI in hotlapping on track in some popular sims, but all of them either yield or cause a crash that would take them to the stewards (or grave) when racing for position on the same piece of track.
Pro racing team have excellent sims these days but they don't have AI opponents.
- klmadfejno 6y agoDo you have any particular reason to believe that the "AI" you refer to are sophisticated ML models built over the sim, rather than hand crafted bots. You say "don't cheat" which makes me think you're referring to the bots included in the sim. Because an AI that's not built into the game shouldn't have any way to cheat. Forgive this comparison, but the ai drivers in mario kart games also cheat, but aren't particularly representative of current state ML tech. There's likely no ML involved in them at all. There's not much in the way of actual attempts to do this with ML either so it's not proof either way (especially on new untrained courses).
- exDM69 6y agoNo, they are not sophisticated ML models. Such things don't exist in this space as far as I know. The ones that cheat are in racing games. The hardcore sims that have AI bots don't usually cheat, and they are the ones that are fast by themselves but hopeless and/or dangerous in a pack. Roborace is the only place where this kind of research has been done, and after many years and millions of dollars they're past their first baby steps, but still learning to walk before they can run.

- ummonk 6y agoWhen you say "don't cheat" do you mean "are subject to the same physics as human drivers" or "don't engage in illegal overtakes / maneuvers"?
