AI Rover basic concept (Automatons beta)

Description
Keep an mind that this is just barebone proof of concept of basic AI driven rover.
It uses base functionalty of wheel suspensions to steer towards the target of some kind, with a help of Event controller and AI blocks. Instead of just rotating entire vehicle with gyroscopes like a tank or something.

Basic explanation is:
A rotor with AI Blocks that moves around with gyroscope on a rotor. Event controllers detects the angle of rotor and basically changes steer override function on a wheel suspensions, depending on a side which AI Flight facing. Some more """detailed""" explanation is on text panels on a rover itself.

How to use:
-Read instructions on a text panel with "README"
Or....
1) In "AI Task" block set yourself as target.
2) Press "Toggle handbrake sensor" button on top of a vehicle.
3) Press "Manual handbrake" button in front.
4) R U N


The idea behind this comes from CTC (custom turret controller just in case...) driven missiles. I dont think its even new in any way, but i didnt find examples in workshop. Not that i even was in a deep search but whatever... But know for sure that it is even possible to replicate with regular RC block and sensors.

And i hope we get a normal AI block that can drive a rover that not depends on weird subgrid crutches.
