BulletVehicle

from panda3d.bullet import BulletVehicle
class BulletVehicle

Bases: TypedReferenceCount

Simulates a raycast vehicle which casts a ray per wheel at the ground as a cheap replacement for complex suspension simulation. The suspension can be tuned in various ways. It is possible to add a (probably) arbitrary number of wheels.
