The performance test scene is at:

The root node there adds fake input for the cars to keep moving by themselves

You can toggle this behavior on/off

The tutorial scene is at:

Not much else to say here.

Just some quick experiments and some surprising results.

Because I always heard: "Shapecasts are expensive." over and over again. I always thought raycasts were the way. But the reality is very different.

So don't be afraid to use shapecasts when the situation calls for it.

They are not nearly as "expensive" as the internet makes you think they are.
