  3. Either exit the vehicle via the eject keybind or scrollwheel on the door
  4. Hold the 'W' movement key as you exit
  5. You'll notice in many cases, you'll be nowhere near the vehicle and the vehicle ignition will assume you're attempting to turn the engine over due to a clash of the ignition keybind

Not neccesarily a bug, I think there just needs to be a tweak or some form of check implemented to see if the user is attempting to turn the car on or is just holding a directional keybind after exiting. I see this happen frequently between myself and friends when we need to get out of a vehicle quickly after turning the engine off, we'll be running away from the car and it'll spontaneously turn on behind us despite nobody being inside it.

Event Timeline

I haven't made a complete test in the latest version, but previously I noticed that this did not ever happen if the driving mode was set to no assist (In that mode you can't start the engine with W-key inside the vehicle either). So an easy solution, remove the W-key's ability to start the engine also in the assisted driving modes and require people to use a dedicated start engine key all the time. Or even better, remove the assisted driving modes altogether.
