Would likely depend upon the relevant facts as they might apply to each of the occupants of this particular vehicle, including, of course, the driver himself.

Re: drive by shootings
the shooter and the driver will be charged with the same crime with the driver being criminally liable as principal in the second degree for aiding and abetting the shooter. The passengers may or may not have liability depending on what they did.
