    I'm having trouble with aligning the orientation of my vehicle and the navmesh that it is following. The obstacle is oriented in the xy-plane, however, the surface of the terrain is bumpy and has hills. The vehicle will stay parallel to the xy-plane even when the terrain is not. How can I get the vehicle to rotate with the direction of the slope of the hills and bumps? (The vehicle is a cube with 4 x spheres for wheels)

    The navmesh will not orient your vehicle. It's generally the job of the physics system (terrain / wheel colliders) alternatively you can sample the normal of the terrain - depending on your specific use-case.
