This is a bit off topic, but I wanted to share it anyway:

Recently I got Cyberpunk 2077. I like the setting, I am a big fan of dystopian future. I am also a little radical about public transport in real life. I love to use it, I hate handling cars, I hate looking for parking.

One of the mayor things I noticed playing CP77 was the lack of public transport. I haven’t played a triple A ever and was surprised by the amount of NPCs. Everything felt so right in Night City. Urgency, dirtiness, people everywhere. Now it is coming with the next update. Thinking about it makes me not want to use the in-game car. It just pops up (hardly any waiting involved, weird) and you cannot really park it anywhere. It is just as useless as real life cars, handling is bad (maybe I am a bad driver but still). I love it. Yes, I can fast travel, but for immersion it is great.

There's a really nice mod on Nexus that allows you to hold the "R" key to dismiss your car, allowing it to drive off by itself just as it pulls up when you request it, and I find it so immersive. If the cars can fully drive themselves, then why can't they be your automated valet?

    Probably an unpopular opinion but I think Watch Dogs Legion did a bunch of Cyberpunk things better than Cyberpunk 2077 did and automobiles was the biggest one for me. Putting them in self driving mode while you handled other hacking, remotely operated drones, or just enjoyed the ride was the coolest thing. I have no idea why CDPR never implemented a self-driving mode for cars, but THAT'S the one thing I want.

    Never played Watch Dogs, but that sounds like an absolutely amazing feature. It seems like a missed opportunity, especially since not only is there an AI cab company in the game, but you literally receive one of the cabs during the related quest line. It seems glaringly obvious, yet to this day, is still a massive oversight.

    Final Fantasy XV let you do something similar, where you could just auto-pilot the car as you drove to your destinations. I found it to be really relaxing and fun. Sometimes I do want to take my time getting somewhere.
