The Mounts and Vehicle systems are quite similar in usage, both being stored in the owner's datapad, and movability functions. However, there are a number of differences between the two ridable options. Unlike the mounts, vehicles have no AI. When an owner leaves the seat of his vehicle, the object stays stationary. Mounts, when dismounted, will become a pet and follow its owner. Vehicles will not follow its owner when left out in the open. Additionally, vehicles do not have a "train" option. One cannot "train" a vehicle to do tricks, to follow, or to stay. Vehicles do not have a "burst run" option and can only go as fast as they were made to go. Mounts, on the other hand, have a gallop option, which increases the speed of the pet. However, vehicles provide the fastest mode of transportation. The slowest of the vehicles provides faster travel to that of the quickest mount. Even when under attack, a vehicle grants the owner a faster getaway, versus a mount which will slow when it faces a hostile situation.
