***The point of this video is to simulate the way an AI vehicle would maneuver when it is "catchingup." This was performed by using a super handling/acceleration modification.

Rubber Band AI is a hidden feature in racing games that allows computercontrolled players to catch up no matter how far back they are, artificially and unfairly 'balancing' gameplay. If you have ever played a racing game and thought you were so far ahead that none of the CPU players could possibly catch you, only to have them make up a fifteensecond gap in three seconds, then you have experienced Rubber Band AI. The term refers to the occurrence of AIcontrolled racers suddenly accelerating faster than the character should be able to go, in order to close the distance between them and the player, as if a rubber band connected them and was pulling them back.
