Immerse yourself in the road because if you actually look around at the rest, you'll probably notice that the car turns without the driver actually turning the steering wheel.

What stands out about open world games is the attention to detail that makes them that much more realistic. I know that people would say there is still a lot of time to correct issues like this and there is, but for a game in development as long as this one has been I'd just expect obvious things ironed out.

Am I missing something here? It looked like some sort of sight seeing mini-game. I'm not sure why they didn't include the 'manual' selection, but auto-piloting to a destination while you switch between camera angles doesn't seem that exciting to me.

Immerse yourself in the road by activating the first person camera. I feel like I've been able to do that for a while. Program your digital valet? It looked he just selected park and the car drove itself to the nearest stop.

Not to be rude or anything, but I don't see anything here 'shaping the open world genre'. I don't even know if you could technically call this 'game play footage'.

This is where I think SE has lost sight of what made them great. The passive stuff was nice to look at in the old days, but it was preceded or succeeded by hands-on adventure/action stuff. It might be relaxing to go on auto-pilot and look around a few times. I am sure a simple fast travel feature would be used more than any scenic route with no input. If I was to wanna shape the open-world genre. I would have a living breathing seamless world, with different active ways of traversing it.
