Abstract Two-target versions of the game of two cars and the homicidal chauffeur game are introduced. This enables us to consider pursuitevasion withouta priori role assignment. A generic example of the two-target homicidal chauffeur game is considered in detail; in particular, a map of the game and its corresponding winning strategies are found using Lyapunov methods of analysis. The effects of altering game parameters, such as the speed and maneuverability ratios, and the weapon system parameters are then presented. It is found that certain winning strategies include a swerve-type maneuver and that, for certain sets of parameters, regions of stagnation and different modes of draw occur.
