Delamain mission (bug?)

[BAG]

On one of the mission to find a car.
I went into the mission when the car tries to trick us into some ambush - the car is blocking the path and we get attacked by some gang beneath a bridge.

Before the ambush start, I left my car and went a little further away. Then went closer to the car, and the ambush started. The enemy levels were way above mine and got killed.
I reloaded the save just before the ambush and left the mission to come later.

So used some fast travel and did some other missions for a while, but the Delamain mission disapeard.

Is that a bug or intended to work that way?

My suggestion is that once you come across a Delamain AI car and trigger the encounter, commit to the mission and finish it. Otherwise quest NPCs will despawn by leaving the mission area, which ultimately fails a quest.

So you'd have to load a save before you triggered the encounter with Glados (the Delamain AI) to ensure this doesn't happen.

So I wouldn't say it's a bug per say, as leaving mission areas does fail a quest.

Ok so it failed and that's it. But I did not receive any mission notification.

The delamain car remained at the position it was (before the ambush, blocking that path) and it did not trigger the mission again.

I am a bit desapointed tbh :-)
I would have liked to have a mission reset feature or simply the mission to reset if we quit it. But well, having failled mission is a good thing as well.
