I don't know how to make it happen automatically, but i know that if you right click the group you want to follow and press follow, it does it!

Hi David, try this. Make any shape, a box, a ball . Anything. Group it, as you normally do,
click 'Play Physics simulation' and the blue Control panel will appear. Place your cursor, which will now look like a 'hand', on the object and right click. Pick an option from the pop-up box,
then left click your object. That OK? -
Well... it started to work for me tooo
The only thing I could not do is make it remember to follow the car the next time I start the simulation.
can you let me in on this secrete?
Thank you.

Sorry David.
Can't help with that one, as I've been getting the same trouble myself. I don't think it's any secret though, and I'm sure someone out there will help us out. -
Short of scripting, the only way you can automate the camera is with scenes. If you just want the camera to follow the car, name the car's main body something, like "follow". Then, position the camera how you want, and make a new scene, with the description 'Camera follow follow.'
The camera will then automatically follow the car when that scene is selected and the sim is played.
There's also a 'track' setting, that works in a similar way. The two can be used together, e.g. 'Camera follow follow. Camera track track.'. When you combine them like this you can create proper camera rigs, with the camera positioned in the centre of one hidden object, and set to follow it, and set to track another hidden object.
