Bug 1: Vehicle RPM gets stuck at it's last value when the driver seat is left.

• Reproduction steps:

1. This is easier to reproduce with speed demon trait so grab that.
2. Get in a car and get it to high RPM, best way is to reverse with speed demon trait.
3. Get out of the car or switch seats while the RPM is high.
4. The car sound suggests that it's still in high RPM, which can also be confirmed by getting back in the car / driver seat and looking at the RPM meter. This also causes an increased fuel consumption.

 

Bug 2: Vehicles can be driven at nearly top speed with 0 RPM.

• Reproduction steps:

1. Get in a car and get it to high speed.
2. Start tapping the W key.
3. With correct timing of holding / releasing the W key you can maintain the speed with 0 RPM. This allows for driving at high speeds with the fuel consumption and noise of an idle engine.

The second one is because, weirdly enough, the game put the car on neutral as soon as you stop accelerating. The game doesn't handle correctly how we drive in reallity (either manual or auto).

I guess there's room for improvement with cars. Also like how the automatic speed control is not able to get the correct RPM (same RPM for a wide range of speeds) or shifting gears reasonably.
