If your talking about the engine Snowdrop, then it could happen. There is a currently the game Starlink: Battle for Atlas  in development right now that features spaceship combat. It shouldn't be a surprise if there is a way vehicles can be used in a game built on the Snowdrop Engine.

Although, if we are talking about the game The Division, then I don't think vehicle usage will be implemented for a few reasons.

1. Lore - In game, resources are very limited, especially fuel. Even if you have vehicles, you need gas. It's likely the vehicles we see on the streets are out of gas. If we have gas, then it will be very little that it won't matter in driving.

2. Gameplay balance - If we use vehicles for combat, then fighting on foot will be quite useless. NPCs will have to be buffed to deal more damage to the vehicle itself, and take less damage. This is what happened with 1.3, where overpowered skills like the Smart Cover had to be balanced with bullet sponges and one shot shotgunners.

3. Enviroment - The streets of Manhatten are littered with objects on the road. Barriers, other cars, and much more. Even if we can drive in the city, there will be things that get in our way.

4. Fast travel - We have fast travel, with makes vehicles kind of redundant.

So in short, it could be done, but some games, like The Division might not work well.
