Night City Driver's Manual — Update 2.3
Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3: AutoDrive & Vehicles
Update 2.3 is one of the most significant quality-of-life patches for Cyberpunk 2077, introducing the long-requested AutoDrive system, a Delamain taxi service, the NCART fast travel network, a batch of new vehicles, and a completely redesigned photo mode. This guide covers every new feature, how to use them, and what they mean for your time in Night City.
I. The AutoDrive System
AutoDrive is the headline feature of Update 2.3. It lets your vehicle drive itself to a selected destination, freeing you to check your inventory, manage your cyberware, or simply enjoy the view of Night City. Here is how it works:
- How to activate: Set a waypoint on the map, then activate AutoDrive from the vehicle controls. Your car will follow the route automatically.
- Manual override: Take control at any moment by pressing the accelerator or brake — AutoDrive disengages instantly.
- Traffic-aware: The system respects traffic lights and avoids collisions, making it safe to use in dense downtown traffic.
- Best uses: Long cross-city trips, checking quest objectives, and managing your inventory while on the move.
II. Delamain Taxi Service
Update 2.3 adds a functional Delamain taxi service. Instead of driving yourself, you can now hail a Delamain cab to take you to your destination. This is a great option when you want to travel in style, avoid traffic, or role-play as a proper Night City citizen. The service is available from the map interface, and the fare is deducted from your eddies.
III. NCART Fast Travel
The NCART (Night City Area Rapid Transit) network has been expanded and integrated more deeply into the game. The fast travel system now feels like a real part of the city, with more stations and smoother transitions. For players who prefer to skip driving entirely, NCART remains the fastest way to cross the map.
IV. New Vehicles
Update 2.3 adds a selection of new vehicles to Night City, expanding both the street and off-road options:
| Vehicle | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| New sports cars | Street | High-speed options for the racing enthusiast |
| New off-road vehicles | Badlands | Built for the rough terrain outside the city |
| New motorcycles | Street | Agile options for weaving through traffic |
Check the Autofixer app in-game to browse and purchase the new additions. Some may also be earned through new gigs and side content added in the patch.
V. Redesigned Photo Mode
The photo mode has been completely overhauled in Update 2.3. The new interface is more intuitive, with better camera controls, more filters and poses, and improved lighting options. Whether you are a dedicated screenshot artist or just want a quick shot of your V, the new photo mode is a major upgrade.
- New camera controls: More precise positioning and framing.
- Expanded filters: A wider range of color grading and effects.
- More poses: Additional character poses for your V and companions.
- Better lighting: Improved control over light sources and intensity.
VI. Other Improvements in 2.3
- Performance optimizations: Improved frame rates and reduced stuttering on all platforms.
- Bug fixes: A long list of fixes across quests, combat, and driving.
- Balance changes: Adjustments to weapons and cyberware based on community feedback.
- UI improvements: Cleaner menus and better map navigation.
