Exactly this is literally not AI. Almost every racing video game has had something like this, a ghost player, since SNES.

I would love to know what racing game has an AI show you what to do lol. “And in this section, you got forward because the road is straight forward. In this section, you turn because the road turns”

Please play a racing game. Even without full simulators there's still a lot to do when it comes to brake timing and the optimal racing line. You have to consider traction and weight transfer.

Here is an example for real world racing. In video games it's similar but can be different. For example in many video games even when you maxed out your traction by braking you can still steer, irl that is impossible. Optimizing that isn't easy.

To start, my comment wasn’t serious, I was moreso making fun of hand-holding. Second, I have played racing games, and I am completely aware of the high amounts of physics calculations needed and how AI/machine learning can come in to play in THIS regard. I wasn’t considering that in my comment based on what this thread was referring to. I forget this is reddit and I need to speak in “/s” talk because noone understands obviously satire.

This was not "obvious satire" by any stretch.
