From VGC: “Cyberpunk 2077 quest director Pawel Sasko has provided a response as to why the game doesnt feature police chases.

When asked why the game doesnt feature police chases on a recent live stream, instead opting for police to spawn behind you randomly, the developer pushed back on the idea that all open-world games have these encounters, citing some examples.”
