EVs don’t really use the brakes during normal driving being mainly used for emergency braking. You could achieve the same with engine braking with ICE but most don’t bother.

Though if the AI is only as good as a human can be it is not that desirable. If the cheat does "super human" stuff it can be detected from behavior on the server side though this is after the fact from processing some replay files

That is what you use behavior detection for. If you don't give human like inputs from the cheat it is detectable and if you limit yourself to what a human can do then the cheat is not very desirable. > “You have to humanize [the che

Realistically what is the alternative? That is pretty much the only way to ensure the cheats don't run at kernel level. If the cheat runs at kernel level it is very hard (or impossible) to detect it from user land outside of behavior (
