TaxiDriver Reloaded 3.1.0 Beta — Shift Memory and AI Driver

This prerelease contains every change made after 3.0.0-beta.

Restorable shift history

Added a separate shiftshistory.json document and focused Lua service for vehicle-bound sessions.
Added Previous shifts on the start screen and a Shifts tab in Driver Profile.
Saved shifts retain the BeamNG model/configuration, selector name, preview, fuel/charge percentages, rides, AI rides, income, fuel cost, penalties and average rating.
Selecting a saved shift replaces the current vehicle and restores its compatible energy storages after the new vehicle VM settles.
Active shifts are snapshotted every 60 seconds and at lifecycle transitions. Zero-ride sessions and missing vehicle-mod configurations are removed.

Added an AI control overlay to passenger, cargo and fuel-route maps in the in-game UI App and Connected Phone.
Added a Game Engine Lua supervisor around BeamNG's native vehicle AI for pickup, scheduled stops, destination, delivery and refueling phases.
Added settings for aggression, following time gap, comfortable braking, stuck timeout, traffic-rule obedience, same-direction overtaking and oncoming-lane recovery.
Added speed-dependent lead following, emergency-gap handling and release when the lane clears.
Added same-direction multi-lane overtaking with road-lane validation, adjacent-lane clearance, cooldowns and indicators.
Added red/yellow signal decisions, stop-line commitment and intersection exit priority.
Fixed traffic-light queues being mistaken for permanent obstacles: the lane and lead are rescanned and normal route/speed control resumes as soon as traffic moves.
Added immediate native Route Done observation and physical target validation. Early completion now starts an exact low-speed approach into the order/fuel trigger.
Added repeatable powertrain start requests and temporary Arcade gearbox control, with short stops held in Drive and the previous gearbox behavior restored afterward.

Added autopilotPerception.lua to measure road boundaries, vehicle/obstacle dimensions, nearby traffic and both bypass sides.
Replaced fixed recovery offsets with the smallest collision-free smooth seven-point corridor around a stationary obstruction.
Added projected traffic checks across the complete bypass path.
Added lazy Vehicle Lua taxiDriverAutopilotRecovery.lua for exact approach, bypass steering, indicators, powertrain/gearbox coordination and completion callbacks.
Added three-wide straight and steering-curved trajectory rays against dynamic oriented vehicle boxes and static geometry.
Added progressive comfortable braking and immediate emergency braking from distance, closing speed and time-to-collision.

Added critical thresholds of 5% for combustion vehicles and 15% for EVs.
Before passenger pickup or cargo loading, AI inserts the normal priority fuel detour without cancelling the accepted order.
A passenger/cargo trip already underway is not interrupted; refueling is deferred until completion.
Maps without a compatible station stop and open Magic Fuel for player input.
Kept the AI control available above the refueling map.

Recorded whether AI was used during an order and exposed it in reviews, shifts, per-vehicle history and a cumulative Profile Analytics counter.
Reviews now show customer/order score separately from the resulting profile rating, with colored comparison states.
Review pagination now measures the available height and actual regular/AI-assisted row heights; it recalculates after resize, UI scale, locale, tab or data changes.
Added Unlimited route length, which removes the standard 25 km upper bound while retaining minimum-distance and route-validity rules.
Added complete Simplified Chinese localization, bringing the shared UI to nine languages.
Added responsive saved-shift cards with vehicle previews and restore progress.

Kept shift persistence, AI supervision, perception and Vehicle Lua recovery in focused modules outside the LuaJIT-sensitive main chunk.
Updated UI cache revision to 310-beta and deterministic packaging to 44 verified entries.
Passed 301 responsive UI states across nine locales, both UI surfaces, compact/full layouts, 80–180% scaling and DPR 2 HiDPI.
Expanded Lua combinatorics for route limits, shift restoration, AI settings/phases, signals, queues, following, overtaking, early Route Done, adaptive bypass, trajectory rays, engine/gearbox behavior and 500 deferred vehicle respawns.

Existing 3.0.0 Beta settings, difficulty, profile, progress, vehicle journal and LAN identity remain compatible.
New AI/unlimited-route values use safe normalized defaults; shiftshistory.json is independent.
This build remains a prerelease while AI behavior is tested across more maps, traffic arrangements, powertrains and community vehicles.
