Owned vehicles moved to garage when not in use

[JoelMahla]

Does anyone know of a mod that returns cars you own to the garage of V's apartment when not being used? Example of what I'm looking for, Say your driving Jackie's motorcycle and decide you want to drive the one of the other vehicles you own like the Hella EC, when you call the "Hella" the motorcycle gets returned to the garage instead of sitting where you last left it. not sure if the game will despawn owned vehicles that are left sitting somewhere or not but it would be nice to go to the garage and see all owned vehicles sitting there

So here's what I've observed:

 

If you call your car it comes and if you leave it there it stays, does not despawn. This is as of patch 1.2. BUT!! it WILL despawn once you complete a story mission. Side quests don't seem to matter nor do NCPD hustles. So until there is a mod that does what you want what I would suggest is to start a new save, rush the story to the ending and leave most of the sidequests and NCPD jobs until after the credits roll then call all the cars you own one by one to the garage and park them as you will. They should stay indefinitely then. And when you're ready to go out for some jobs just pick what car you want and drive it out of the garage and when you're done, drive it back. Makes you role-play a bit more immersively that way.

I'm not sure you understand what it means to be immersed. It means to be drawn into the universe that CDPR have created, a universe where all cars and bikes can drive themselves to their owners (and presumably back home, again, too). If you wanna role play as V's grandpa who doesn't understand modern technology in 2077 that's fine but don't call it immersive.

 

To the OP's point, I agree. It's kinda cool that the cars have persistence but hey, maybe you left the Caliburn in a bad neighborhood and don't want it sitting there all night... Current behavior also seems like a waste of memory and needlessly clutters the mini map. That said, I think the main thing preventing them from driving away when you're done with them is that the navigation is basically on rails confined to the actual roads. If you're parked off the street the AI, if you can call it that, doesn't have a path back to the road. Maybe you could work around this by getting out of your car in the street and then switch it over to traffic AI as soon as you walk away.
