[OOC] AI traffic on Lumin Parkway

Maybe you noticed or seen the construction of AI traffic in Concord. Will Szymborska, Nelson Jenkins and ac14 "Astaro" Hutson made an artifical traffic on our highway. There randomly popping now different vehicles on both end of Lumin Parkway and following the road crossing the sim, then disappear at the opposite end. The vehicles aren't "phantom", so you need bypass them. They are smart: if you stop on the road, the robot-vehicles will not crash you but stop and horn to you. The project is ready but Will Szymborska told me about bug can happen even and they refine, improve the system yet.

And how it's made? The creators assigned the patches which are the vehicles must be followed. Then set the time interval and random car in the rezzers, tested the full route of cars and the simcrossing with higher attention. As we experienced it does not cause so many lag, but we will see when the sim is full with citizens and their car.
