Cyberpunk 2077 Autodrive: How Does It Work?
In brief
Cyberpunk 2077's patch 2.3 introduces AutoDrive, an automated driving system that lets players cross Night City without intervention. The AI follows the rules of the road and also offers a cinematic camera mode for an immersive experience, while automatically deactivating during combat or heavy damage.
Now, with patch 2.3, players have access to AutoDrive in Cyberpunk 2077. This system allows players to travel across Night City without any input on their part (or almost, depending on circumstances). Let's take a look at how to use and optimize it during your nighttime rides through the neon-lit city.
AutoDrive: an automatic, and a drive?!
The implementation of AutoDrive in Cyberpunk 2077 is a real step forward, since you can now travel around without having to drive. Indeed, it's the AI that takes over, steering your vehicle all the way to the destination on your route. If no landing point is set, AutoDrive will take you on a random ride through the city's various districts.
What's interesting about this feature is that it's realistic. The autopilot actually follows the rules of the road: stopping at red lights, respecting speed limits, and staying in lanes. So no stunts or daring shortcuts.
Note
It should be noted, however, that AutoDrive automatically deactivates in certain situations. If you get into a fight during your ride or your car takes heavy damage, you'll immediately regain full control of it.
An additional feature is added for players who have completed the "Don't Lose Your Mind" quest. You can call autonomous Delamain taxis at any time by opening the "call vehicle" menu and then selecting "Delamain Cab", these taxis running on the AutoDrive system and driving you around fully autonomously.
How to activate and use AutoDrive
Activating AutoDrive in Cyberpunk 2077 is extremely simple. Once you're in any compatible vehicle, all you need to do is hold down the H key on PC or the left stick click (L3) on console. The automated system then takes over, driving you to the destination marked on the map.
On top of that, AutoDrive comes with a cinematic camera mode that enhances the experience. To activate it, hold down the Q key on PC or press right on the D-pad on console. This mode offers spectacular viewing angles during your ride, showcasing the impressive architecture and unmatched atmosphere of Night City.
