Research direction

Start with the vehicle engine example at http://playcanvas.github.io/#physics/vehicle.html and inspect how its driving input is handled. Run the example on a mobile device and identify an appropriate mobile control path. Done means the vehicle can be driven without arrow keys while desktop keyboard control continues to work.
