short moment hidden in Rockstar’s GTA 6 trailer has gone viral online—and it’s not because of the story, map, or graphics. Instead, people are talking about a small detail: how a biker moves between lanes.
A Reddit user, Physical-Jump9470, pointed out a scene where an AI-controlled biker leaves a slow-moving truck, carefully checks the road like a real person, and then smoothly overtakes it.
In all the previous GTA games, traffic operated in a predictable manner, with vehicles following specific routes without deviating from their paths.
It is through this singular behaviour pattern alone that the developers seem to have revolutionised the method used by the Non-Player Characters (NPCs) to make sense of their environment. Rockstar Studios has also patented black box AI technology which would help these NPCs share information in real time and therefore make decisions based on the environment.
With these patents, one can see an ecosystem forming within the GTA series where drivers act in accordance with one another and not with a set script. The behaviour witnessed by fans in the recent trailer of the game indicates that if the behaviour is systemic, then GTA 6 could be unpredictable.
