    I tried Chase AI and I think it's broken because when I enable it, the vehicle engages its parking brake instead of chasing me. If I ram it, it'll have a spasm, as it tries to go into reverse and engages/disengages the parking brake at the same time.

    Does anyone have a solution for it?

    For me, setting the first vehicle to flee and then setting the second to chase usually fixes the problem. There is a slight chance of flee not working, though.
    Try that out and see if it works. You might need to reset the map as well.

    Try to delete this file in Documents/BeamNG.Drive/settings:
    uiapps-layouts.json

    During tests, I had an issue where that file would prevent the AI app to work for some reason.

    Thanks Benjamin for making this post, and thanks for answering Nadeox! The fresh install worked fine, but when I tried earlier today, it wasn't working. Will test it and report my findings shortly. :)

    EDIT: Tried it out, and both solutions do work. Rather than just deleting the file, it is easier to just swap them from flee to chase. Thanks for the help Nadeox and Tech!

    So, the AI sometimes attacks the wrong car and doesn't go after the player at all. Just sits and holds the pedal down once they catch you too... THey act more like police I suppose. WOuld be nice to get a more derby AI, but gotta say they are aggressive and I like that.

    i missing the same two things to enjoy the chase fully as well : Cars that always choose the player as a target, and cars being able to go reverse to avoid having 5 cars stuck by trying to push the target car forever :p, to get access to a real derby mode as before.
    Also the chase player enable/disable would be cool, like before because we could then spawn the cars as we wan't and make them all chase in the same time instead of changing all cars into the chase mode manually.
    But except those little points, it's really neat to see this beloved chase mode being back again.
