Once the Auto Drive mechanic successfully engages, you will notice a prompt at the bottom left corner of your screen. It will tell you how far your destination is and the estimated time of arrival. If you do not have any waypoint set or job objective selected, Auto Drive will take you "on a leisurely ride through the streets of Night City."

You need to make sure the vehicle is on a road and not elsewhere, as then the Auto Drive option will be grayed out. Furthermore, the self-navigation mechanic isn't available during combat or if your vehicle is heavily damaged.
