While [[Zoi]]s can explore the [[city]] on foot or potentially use [[public transportation]], owning a personal [[vehicle]] offers convenience and freedom. [[Cars]] are the sole means of personal vehicle transport currently available in [[Early Access]]. They allow Zois to travel longer distances and explore the city in style. Cars are considered a luxury [[item]] and are not strictly required for getting around. | |||
==Quick Guide== | |||
===Purchase a Car=== | |||
Use the [[Dream Car]] app on your [[Smartphone]] to purchase a [[vehicle]]. Pick your desired [[car]] and hit the Buy button, and it will be parked right outside your [[home]]. With a car, you can travel long distances. | |||
===Drive a Car=== | |||

To find your car, click on your active [[Zoi]] and select [[Car Interaction]] - [[Get In Car]] to have them enter the car. | |||
In '''Options''' > '''Gameplay''' settings, turn on manual driving to control the car using the '''[W]''', '''[A]''', '''[S]''', and '''[D]''' keys. | |||
To drive automatically, click on a destination lot on the map and press [[Drive Here]]. | |||
You can also press '''[Tab]''' to switch the [[camera view]]. Driving from inside the car (1st person view) offers a more immersive experience. | |||

*'''Functionality:''' Driving is described by some as currently superfluous, meaning it may not be significantly faster than [[walking]] or using the [[subway]]/[[public transport]]. Its primary function might be for role-playing rather than pure efficiency in [[Early Access]]. | *'''Functionality:''' Driving is described by some as currently superfluous, meaning it may not be significantly faster than [[walking]] or using the [[subway]]/[[public transport]].

*'''Other Vehicles:''' Currently, only cars are available as drivable vehicles. It is unknown if or when other types like [[boats]], [[planes]], or [[motorcycles]] will be added. | *'''Other Vehicles:''' Currently, only cars are available as drivable vehicles.

==Additional Information from the Developer== | |||
While the game allows [[Zoi]]s to own and drive [[cars]], it is not a driving simulator. The devs said they prioritized simulating the city’s population (up to 300 Zois, even if they are offscreen, each living out their own [[AI]] routines). Because of that heavy simulation load, they cannot devote GTA-level resources to vehicle physics. They may refine local car behavior in updates, but for [[Early Access]], the driving system is simple. | |||
A question came up about the Steam Deck: though InZOI is not officially "Steam Deck–verified", the technical director tested it and reported it does run on a Deck, albeit with custom control mappings. | |||
