The investor calls, which I guess they are obliged to have, seem to be the clearest source of info. Not that they offer concrete release dates of course, but they have to tell the investors what their intentions are, and can be asked directly about them, and if they give answers that are too vague or blatently misleading - they would get roasted.
At least someone from CDPR is quoted telling that the game won't get some of the stuff it would need.

Including police chases, because Elden Ring won't have them as well:
‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Director Explains Why There Aren’t Police Chases In The Game
One of the strangest things about Cyberpunk 2077 is how it handles its enemy AI system. Not just in terms of how enemies react to you, but the way they react to you. As in, police will appear out of thin air rather than show up in cars
If you actually read this article you've would've read that Paweł said they didn't have enough time to implement these features. It doesn't say it's not going to get them.
Plus I'm pretty sure it was in response to someone during the stream saying something like:
The road-map has been stalled to at least after the Next-gen edition. This was mentioned in their last investor call when an investor asked if they could expect an update of the roadmap in the near future. They obviously don't like being left in the dark either
True, the investor's call is a very good source of truth and news. I still believe that they will dial back on anything roadmap related.
I think they are positive about their progress as they are about the game in general. However, we as players would probably do well to expect news about 1.5 only a week or so before its release. As to your first point, I agree that their roadmap has become their release notes after the release of 1.2.
I think we have had this discussion in another thread, so I will keep myself short. But I would welcome more communication and while I don't expect a statement like 1.5 will be released on January 23rd, I would like to have a rough roadmap like 1.5 will be released at the end of January. With that being said, I also know that things change and I wouldn't mind 1.5 to be delayed a bit if it is properly communicated.
That's a careful phrasing everyone in his position would have used. Otherwise, you are just asking for trouble.
My extremely subjective view on this matter is that every single game I know got worse when it had char chases not better. (I would love to have my own difficult setting to char chases, which I could set to easy.) This is also reflected by me preferring to walk instead of driving as long as the distance is not too far
Actually not. I went to check the stream and it's a very polite question. Pawel's first answer wasn't his best moment, even the other dev that was on stream got to an awkward smile when Pawel mentions Elden ring and Sonic. But he makes long streams, I hardly think the kickback was fair, especially since he came back to it on a more serious and real manner.
Because not everybody played the game and/or finished it multiple times.
Because I intentionally didn't finish it because I wanted to wait for the upgrade.
Anyway, for "real new" content, it will be with the expansions not in the base game
Wasn't the same thing said about the situation once 2077 returned to PSN and Xbox Market? Would "stable footing" be when the cars don't drive like a fridge on a road made of butter, or when the police don't spawn inside your vehicle while driving 120kmph on the overpass?
I would like to see an actual roadmap in fact...
