VehicleDynamics

This gem contains a simplified implementation of vehicle dynamics for the O3DE engine. The implementation uses a single-point ray-cast to find the ground contact point and simulate suspension, steering, and wheel forces. Vehicle movement is achieved by applying longitudinal, lateral and suspension forces to the vehicle's rigid body at the point of contact with the ground.
