Lerp Slow Movement

Questions & Answers
1

I was having a problem using Vector3.Lerp in update because the blocks I was moving would get near each other but slow down and take a long time to finish its Lerp. After reading some I found that this is a feature of Lerp and I didn't want this slowing down. I found an example on how to do it the way I needed and it works but now I can't seem to get it to move smoothly. I collide the 2 blocks and they Lerp super fast to their new spots.

    void MoveObject ()
    {
    float i = 0.0f;
    float rate = 1.0f;

    while (i < 1.0)
    {
        i += Time.deltaTime * rate;
        myTransform.position = Vector3.Lerp(myTransform.position, collisionBlock, i);
        otherTransform.position = Vector3.Lerp(otherTransform.position, draggedBlock, i);
    }
}

Can some take a look at this and give me a tip on what I am doing wrong?

Slowing down is not a feature of Lerp. Lerp means "linear interpolation". See here.

you can add a param of Mathf.SmoothStep as per this example for fairing at start+end.
this is code example using the MoveObject

//  thisTransform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startPos, endPos, t);
thisTransform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startPos, endPos, Mathf.SmoothStep(0.0, 1.0, t));	// smooth
