Hi there,

I am currently working on a traffic simulation software using java and delphi, but the language isn't that important right now.

My question is, if you have any good idea for an algorithm, so that a car can drive from one point to another. The important fact is, that there may also be obstacles in the "direct connection" between those two points. But how should a car / bot behave, in order to avoid crashing into that obstacle(s !!)? Important is, that the car should not have all information about traffic around itself, just the things, a real driver could see, if he looks out of his window.
Of course, the bot has to steer around that obstacle, but how "hard", and why?

Any ideas and suggestions?

Thanks a lot - Malte Nuhn
