Hi, I’m new to this forum and this game but i am already very excited for it! I know that the devs mentioned the possibility of being able to drive your creation which would be very cool 
. But i also understand this would be a very difficult task to undertake so my idea is to combine automation with a game in development currently known as Beamng(beamng.com/content/). Whats great about beamng is its designed to be a full crash simulation game with ultra realistic damage modeling and whats even better is that its engine(pun intended 
) is being developed to work with any other developers game/project that features a driving mechanic. Please tell me what you think and i encourage you all to check out beamng for yourself! (Also i apologize in advance if someone has already suggested this)
Oh yeah, we had a chat to the developers of that a while back, would be cool but very hard for us to get car models that work properly in both Automation and BeamNG
