Had anyone noticed the annoying AI of traffic cars?

This sucks a bit. I was in game, I was running straight ahead, then one of the ambient vehicle from the other side steered in front on me causing collisions. See that sh*t? it nearly pissed the hell out of me!!! For f*** sake! btw why are they programmed in that way? That just sucks.

Uh, yeah, the game's 16 years old. We know all about it.

Yeah, we noticed how the traffic behave in MM2, and this has been discussed in past too. Maybe it's implemented in that way because the game is meant to be madness? However, what happened to you is pretty rare, at least in SF and London, the default cities.

AI operate in their own world, they don't nessesarily check their surroundings. All they see are their BAI rails, and other traffic cars on those rails in the direction they are heading.

The only thing I don't understand is why they are programmed to ram a player they detect in front of them. You'd think they would try to avoid them.

At least on MM1 the Traffic AI is smarter.

There is a programming fail on MM2, because they try to avoid you but due that the avoid movement timer refreshes too fast it looks that it follows you.

Seriously, the traffic cars follows you.

Okay, I've noticed this before. But I never bothered posting it. Well as you guys said the game is called Midtown "Madness" so expect insanity.
