carNavigation

An implementation of the Java client for the Data API, using a pure vector approach for autonomous vehicle navigation. Up to 8 cars can be seeded on the map. Each will run a vector search using its starting and ending points. The resulting road segments are returned via a Euclidean-based similarity. Each car then takes the best path that it can to drive on the roads to their destination.

Known issues

Cars drive through each other.
If they are not currently on a vector, cars may:
- drive over lawns.
- drive through buildings.
- drive on the wrong side of the road.

Requirements
