This. If unable to fix the crashing currently, they need to either make it so that the car stops immediately when the driver DCs (not sure if that's actually possible) or make vehicles repairable. Though we're still going to have to seriously hoard radiators to avoid losing the cars anyways.
This still wouldn't help completely. My game crashed a couple days ago while driving on Series X. Logged back in to my character swimming in the lake above the car. I had to find the one tiny spot my character could stand on the roof of the car to grab my stuff from it (can't manage inventory while swimming), swim it all the way to shore, swim back out, find the tiny standing spot again, and repeat until empty. I eventually got tired of the annoying process and let everything despawn. Left my character there and decided to play CoD until I can actually drive a car without risking losing my character and everything in the car by simply driving slowly from point A to point B. Oof.
