Combat from vehicles, scavenging, sabotage, and more...

+
So, quite often, you'll find bikes and cars at crime scenes, assaults, etc. It'd be nice to see a few options added so that those random vehicles become part of the world in a more meaningful way.
  • give some cars/bikes security systems that must be hacked/disabled before they can be touched.
  • leave occasional guns/mods/clothing/loot in the back seats and trunks, so that a hacked car becomes a treasure chest. Vans could also become hiding places.
  • when we pop the hood, let us scavenge for performance-boosting parts/tech/mods for our own vehicles, as well as cosmetics like crafting-recipes for automotive paint or decals.
  • let us sabotage or booby-trap gang vehicles, so that if we create a ruckus and then flee the scene, their vehicles fail in a suitably spectacular manner when they try to pursue.
  • give those of us with high netrunner skills a "remote control" option like we have for turrets, turning the car/bike into an auto-drive projectile. (If the aircraft-carrier Kujira turns NC into a war-zone at some point, using hacked cars as remote-controlled blockades and battering-rams against tanks/mechs would make a lot of sense.) ;)
... and for our own vehicles :
  • Assuming that car-chases are coming... give us the ability to craft outrageous DIY tech for our cars and bikes, like boudica spikes, caltrop launchers, scyths, grapples/harpoons, EMP/tasers, microwave cannons, etc.
  • RClick/LClick/MMClick are not mapped in vehicles at the moment, so how about letting us use one-handed weapons like pistols and katanas from the driver's seat? This makes the most sense on bikes, as it's almost identical to what Geralt already does in Witcher3 while riding Roach — and you already know how wickedly fun his sword and crossbow are while on horseback. :) Yeah... We need the same for our "steel horses" in CP2077.
... and, don't just keep us on the ground... :) From this Cyberpunk mod called "GTA Travel" we know that the game engine can easily render the city and surrounding landscape beautifully from high above... Given that helipads are already visible on rooftops...
  • Bring back that beautiful helicopter model that's cashed out in the badlands as a working/flyable vehicle for the player to use.
  • Give us a compact/sci-fi version of the Vince Reffet "flying wing" and let us run "Dark Void"-style raids on rooftop "dungeons", dirigibles, and whatever those offshore tower things are that we see in the distance... :) So that we're not dragging a heavy backpack along, leave the thing in flight all the time as an autonomous drone while you're on foot... just press "v"/summon-vehicle and then jump into free-fall when you hear its engines approaching, and it'll (probably) intercept/catch you on the way down.
  • While it's not *exactly* a vehicle, let us use the overall / "full-body clothing slot" for fun things like wing-suits and parachutes... for base-jumping from megabuildings, or from flying vehicles. :)

Those things could all be fun additions.
