[ODE] Driver simulation.....

[Sandeep KL]

hi,
was wondering how to implement a path finding system for vehicles which 
follow physics.....

Here are possible approaches....
0. Calculate path (grid based) Astar....
1. Build a driver class......giving intelligent inputs to make it follow the 
path calculated...


Problems, the pain and the miseries.....
1. say Astar uses diagonals.....the vehicles might collide if obstacles are 
present on the neighboring cells....

2. next problem.....starting orientation of the vehicle needs to be 
considered.....
3. gotta keep a check on the speed......wudnt want it to upturn at certain 
bumps.....


how would u have to go abt implementing all this? any ideas???

Regards,
San
