Enable steering wheel movement in AI driving mode

Greetings! I'm new to BeamNG and I'm currently working on an autonomous driving research project.

To provide a more authentic experience, I'm wondering if there is a way to let the AI turn our physical steering wheel (Logitech G923) during the AI driving/autonomous mode. If the game does not have built-in support for such a function, is it possible to get the AI inputs to the car so we can send them to the steering wheel?

Not sure if anyone has asked this question before, so thanks in advance!

 

You cant, I'm 99.99% sure. If you wanted to make it, it might be hard because AI just follows a line. It doesn't find a path in unmarked territory like a real car; it has chosen routes that are selected randomly attached to an AI path. You would probably have to go into the code of the steering wheel, too. It's a unique problem, but you might have a head start on it if the AI corresponds to the "Input Data" UI app (which I doubt it does).

Good luck trying to figure it out!

 

Thanks! I actually just wrote a PID controller in Python with the logitech-steering-wheel package. The tech team at BeamNG suggested that I use the Electrics sensor to get the steering input and adjust the physical steering wheel accordingly.

Here is a video demo. I've made some tweaking later so it is now much stabler.
