V1.1 | AI Behavior Update
Improved AI Horn and Blink Behavior:
I changed the values where some drivers honk/blink first than some others adding variety on their patience
AI Safety Modifier:
I toned down the value for the AI drivers to a "low safety factor" which means they'll break more abruptly, use low spacing distances, and use lights later in a case of low visibility and more.
AI Patience Modifier:
I change the value to where AI's will be more inpatience. Which means AI's will often overtake more, have lower waiting times (e.g. while yiedling or waiting at a stop sign), use horns and blinks more when blocked
AI Horn/Blink Delay:
I changed the values where some drivers honk/blink first than some others adding variety on their patience, basically tieing to AI patience modfier.
AI Yields:
The values I changed will control the speeds which an AI is allowed while yielding, time the AI will wait until they give up and go, and the time window before giving up and squeeze it's way into the traffic. This should keep the AI from waiting forever at for example an intersection with no lights while giving variety from driver variety between timid drivers and bold drivers, adding to the immersion of this mod.

So, in TL;DR form, this update changes the behaviors of AI adding extra immersion to the mod, adding variety to the traffic with timid and brave drivers.
