Starting an AI traffic map on an Assetto Corsa server brings dynamic, realistic traffic to the game, enhancing immersion and allowing players to simulate city driving or highway scenarios. It creates a lively environment where users can practice overtaking, maneuvering through traffic, and improving their driving skills. This setup adds depth to the gameplay, making it ideal for role-playing or realistic driving simulations within Assetto Corsa.
