prop_vehicle_choreo_generic is a point entity present in the Half-Life 2 series and Portal 2, but not Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. It's an entity used to control the player's view while giving them realistic motion. The motion is done through a model animation instead of a point_viewcontrol moving on path_tracks. Usually the model is invisible. Only one player can be in the vehicle at a time.
