Regarding zombie interaction with vehicles; that's too complicated. It would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to detect whether or not a player is exposed in a vehicle while taking into consideration just how "improved" that vehicle has been made. The more practical way for zombie interaction would be to allow zombies to do damage to a vehicle and when damage exceeds a certain amount, zombies can enter the vehicle.
Any sort of "building", vehicles or structures, will be a feature to be added later in DayB's lifetime. As of now, vehicles will only function much like I described to MyNameIsYou's question earlier.
MyNameIsYou:
Will vehicles feature any inventory space?
Are helicopters or armored vehicles going to be implemented in the future?

Don't try to detect if a player is exposed, set a value in the datablock of the vehicle and check that, something like
function Zombie::Attack(%PlayersVehicle) {
if(%PlayersVehicle.Exposure <= 10) {
return true;
}
return false;
}

Extended features for vehicles will have to wait until later in DayB's lifetime; I do not want to spend a lot of time on vehicles as they will definitely be a rarity.
MyNameIsYou:
regarding loot, how will it look when it spawns? just an item spawned on a brick? will items be completely randomized location wise in buildings?
