I think there's a small problem here. The bikes can return to base on their own and the riders themselves stay behind as cleanup crew to try and grab even more villagers. So the vehicles that are retreating wouldn't have their drivers.

In my defense, Sitar wouldn't know that the bikes can keep going on autopilot. And fortunately I was also vague enough with my wording that I didn't specifically say the bikes stopped. My wording was that without the riders the bikes [i]should[/i] stop, but again, Sitar obviously doesn't know about their autopilot feature yet.
