I never have quite understood the whole "all or nothing" constant acceleration in these open world games. The designers do actually drive cars right?

It's just not that complicated. Something like forward speed increasing as long as I hold the stick or the 'forward key'. If I let off, the acceleration should stop, but it should maintain speed. If I brake, etc, it should slow down. That would be way more playable.

Your character driving skill will increase the more you drive, at the beginning it does suck, and overall driving in GTA V is so wacky, but it does slightly better the more time you spend on a vehicle.
