Here is the non-interactive pre-alpha test origin of a "collision 
avoidance system" based on vector fields. Its meant to be a fun, 
hopefully interesting, experiment. So far, the damn field lines just 
want to help the vehicles in circles avoid crashes. In this crude setup, 
a collision will make the anime flash, and tangentially move the 
colliding agents out of the way. The crude online example is here:

(does this work for you at all?)

Fwiw, I first posted about this here:

(has a screenshot of the program...)

Can you please give it a go? Is it slow as shi%? Crap?

Any radical bugs in the JavaScript? ;^o

Thanks.
