It went from being actual wide-shots of cars chasing each other, to short clips of stunmen driving, spliced with reaction-acting of actors too valuable to be in moving cars.
It's like that for most action sequences, I recently saw a Jackie Chan documentary that has him explain the differences of his action shots, and the things to be mindful of to make them be more believable as to be of one long full sequence.
