Forza 5 to include "Driveatar" which will learn how players race

Turn 10 Studios came on stage to discuss Forza 5 to talk about the cloud - and the end of AI. Talking about Drive-atar, instead of Avatar. Opponents don't dive like AI, but real people. It will learn how you race. It will race for you in the cloud even when you are not playing. The studio went on to show a new trailer featuring all in-game footage. Shots are below.

Here's the list of game features:

Features:
Always racing, always adapting
• Never race alone. By learning how you and your friends drive, the power of the cloud delivers real human behavior. Drivatar technology creates an ever-evolving network of opponents who are always ready to race. Real tendencies, real mistakes, real victories.
• Rivals everywhere. Every corner a new challenge, every event a new chance to win. Compete against your friends’ top times in rotating challenges for in-game credits and bragging rights.
• Fast and fair multiplayer. With Smart Match matchmaking and Xbox Live dedicated servers, experience epic, fast and competitive multiplayer perfectly suited to your skill and style.
• Curated customization. The power of the cloud means the best custom content now finds you. With a system that learns your preferred cars and paint schemes, seamlessly experience the most compelling user-generated content available.
• Your ever-growing garage. Your automotive journey continues long after launch.
Download, drive and explore the most anticipated new cars in the world, months before they hit the showrooms, then challenge your friends in continuously updated online race events.

As real as it gets
• Unprecedented visual realism. The definitive next-generation graphics engine delivers stunningly realistic visuals in 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second.

conjunction with Calspan and the world’s top automotive manufacturers, makes driving easy to learn and rewarding to master.
