Acquiring a vehicle: this can be done by visiting a shipwright at any city, and pay an affordable price. Once you have, the vehicle will automatically be on the ground every time you land on a planet, waiting for you to jump into. You don’t even need to drive it back to your ship, you can teleport straight into it which is handy if you’ve parked a fair way off.
Land vehicles, in the grand scheme of things may not exactly be something that changes the game per se, but they are a nice little QoL feature for Starfield. Gone are the days you needed to hike the floor in combat with obstacles and nature itself. Which means you can travel through its varied locations that much faster and, in turn, spend less time grinding so an easier path to the exceptionally-written story and side quests on offer.
