One racingsimulator in particular was widely used among researchers and that is TORCS, more detailsdiscussed in theme IV. Because of the ever-growing AI technology, there is a need for furtherresearch in the optimization of AI agents, using racing games as a platform for testing anddevelopment [6]. By incorporating additional research, we’re able to bridge the gap betweentheoretical concept and practical concepts, offering a unique and engaging medium for engineersto further apprehend their knowledge of AI principles.A systematic literature review (SLR) on the implementation of AI/ML algorithms in racing gamesfor

important sources of data for identifying areas for improvement. When several options present themselves, time constraints forces a choice, and it is not always an easy matter to decide which. The Lean Manufacturing framework presented here can be used to develop a mechanism for instructors to use to weigh options and point them towards the ones that have the highest potential to positively impact Just-In-Time delivery, use of available brainpower and building-in quality. This can be motivational for the instructor by giving them a priori a degree of confidence that the changes they are considering will have benefit, as opposed to just hoping for the best.3.
