Essentially what you're seeing is the map loading so quickly, that the game doesn't even head to a loading screen.
It's worth noting that the game remains entirely unoptimised, too, so in theory it could get even faster in the coming months (or at least it should load a lot more smoothly).
Of course, the team is currently working on Cyberpunk 2077, which was delayed last week until December.

We also know that there will be Witcher references in Cyberpunk 2077 – here's one we know about already.
