Drivatars

Drivatars are a novel form of learning artificial intelligence (AI) developed for Forza Motorsport. The technology behind the Drivatar concept is exploited within the game in two ways:

• as an innovative new learning game feature: create your own AI driver!
• as the underlying model for all the AI competitors in the Arcade and Career modes.

Our original goal in developing Drivatars was to create human-like computer opponents to race against. As keen gamers we had grown tired of simplistic AI opponents and wanted to try and do something about it. We particularly like racing games and so the racing genre seemed like a great place to start work.
