NPCs

NPCs are non-playable characters in the asphalt series and they consist of two types which are basic traffic NPCs and Racing NPCs that serve as an obstacle to the player during a race.

Traffic
Traffic NPCs can only be encountered in career mode in the form of civilian vehicles like sedans, trucks, buses and large commercial trucks. They mainly spawn anywhere in the level driving at speeds of 30 to 40 MPH even though their driving a NPC vehicle is capable of wrecking a racer's vehicle if a head on collision is made.
