    I like to think Automation cars more as art pieces instead of actual BeamNG mods, they don't have good crash physics are sometimes really wonky, they're meant as a showoff.
    Also, there are like 20k Automation mods, most of which are just generic cars.

    There are some good ones, especially if they have customizable license plates, custom sounds and a BeamNavigator (which I am trying to figure out how to integrate into my own builds).

    I have personally made some, I don't really publish on the repo because nobody wants another hatchback or another Reliant Robin clone.

    I think they're fun if you create your own car but it loses the point a bit if you download something someone else made. The fun of Automation for me is create my own things how i want them and drive them afterwards in Beamng.

    the problem is that automation mods and real mods are in the same category

    No they arent? Automation has its own section, then regular mods are under 'Land'

    mb but if you search for a mod you can see both automation and non automation

    oh yeh thats true, if you use the in game repository you can filter by mod type whilst searching so its much easier to find things
    --- Post updated ---
    actually if you click on 'more' when searching on forums you can use advanced search and filter out automation, i forgot about that
