Delamain Taxi System Returns in Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.3 – Here’s How to Use It

on

Stuck in traffic or just feeling lazy in Night City? With Patch 2.3, the Delamain Taxi System is finally back—and it’s better than ever. This long-missing feature lets you sit back and enjoy the ride while the AI does all the work. Whether you're a roleplayer, fast-travel avoider, or just love seeing Night City in motion, here’s everything you need to know about unlocking and using the AutoDrive-powered Delamain Taxi System in Cyberpunk 2077.

๐Ÿ”„ What Is the Delamain Taxi System in Patch 2.3?

If you played the base game, you’ll remember Delamain: the quirky AI running a futuristic cab company. After the 2.0 overhaul and Phantom Liberty release, the iconic taxi fleet mysteriously disappeared—until now.

Patch 2.3 reintroduces the Delamain Taxi System with full AutoDrive functionality. It lets you:

  • Call a Delamain taxi to your location

  • Select a destination on the map

  • Automatically ride there—hands-free

  • Experience immersive camera angles and dialogue-free rides

This isn't just a fast travel gimmick. It's a cinematic experience that finally lets Night City breathe.

๐Ÿงญ How to Unlock and Use the Taxi System

Delamain Taxi System in Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.3
Using the Delamain Taxi System is straightforward, but here’s a step-by-step guide to make sure you don’t miss anything.

✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Complete the “Epistrophy” Questline

    • This questline (from the base game) introduces you to Delamain and unlocks your connection to the service.

  2. Update to Patch 2.3

    • The taxi system is only available after this patch, so make sure your game is up to date.

  3. Access Your Vehicle Menu

    • Open your phone or vehicle tab in the inventory.

    • You’ll see the Delamain Taxi listed under your cars.

  4. Summon the Taxi

    • Just like any car, call it to your location using the hotkey or phone.

    • When it arrives, get in and open the map screen.

  5. Choose a Destination

    • Select a custom waypoint or major landmark.

    • Press the AutoDrive/Begin Route button.

  6. Enjoy the Ride

    • Sit back and watch Night City go by—or switch to first-person for extra immersion.

๐Ÿ™️ Where Does AutoDrive Work?

AutoDrive works across most of Night City and Dogtown. However, a few limitations apply:

Location                Status
Night City Core✅ Fully functional
Pacifica/Dogtown✅ Mostly works, with rare bugs
Badlands⚠️ Inconsistent performance
Combat Zones❌ Disabled during firefights or missions

๐Ÿง  Pro Tip: Avoid combat-heavy areas like Watson during gang events. Delamain may cancel your ride or get stuck.

๐Ÿš˜ Why This Feature Matters

You might ask: “Why bother with AutoDrive when I can fast travel?” Here's why Delamain matters in 2.3:

  • Immersion: Explore the world naturally, overhear ambient NPC chatter, and enjoy the skyline at night.

  • Convenience: Great for controller players or keyboard-free play.

  • Roleplay Friendly: Perfect for Corpo or Nomad runs where you want a clean, non-chaotic vibe.

  • Exploration Boost: You'll notice alleys, side gigs, or hidden loot you might otherwise miss.

๐Ÿ› ️ Known Bugs & Limitations (Patch 2.3)

Like most Cyberpunk features, the taxi system has a few quirks:

  • ๐Ÿšซ Can’t be used mid-mission or in scripted sequences

  • ๐Ÿ“ Occasionally pathing gets confused in tight alleyways

  • ๐Ÿšฆ Delamain respects traffic rules, so it can be slow in dense districts

  • ๐Ÿ” No skip option once ride starts (unless you exit manually)

Expect CD Projekt Red to address some of these issues in future hotfixes.

๐Ÿง  Advanced Tips for AutoDrive Users

Want to elevate your taxi experience? Try these:

  • ๐ŸŽง Listen to the in-game radio while riding for extra atmosphere

  • ๐Ÿ“ธ Use photo mode mid-ride to snap incredible panoramic views

  • ๐Ÿงฉ Pair it with weather mods or Reshade filters for cinematic results

  • ๐ŸŽฎ Use with a controller and hide the HUD for a “Cyberpunk movie” vibe
