Here are some details about the online mode:

“No lobbies, no waiting, a seamless experience and focus on cooperative and social gameplay.” The Freeburn system is at the center of this, granting you the ability to invite players into your world with a few taps of the D-pad; you don’t even have to take your finger off the gas. Once your friend drops into your city (which happens instantaneously once they accept the invite) you can use the same system to bring up cooperative challenges, regardless of where you and your (up to seven other) buddies are.

What I really like about there online system is that you don’t have to wait for them to join, you can just drive around crashing, racing, etc. But they haven’t said how to play online with people that aren’t in your friends list. Hopefully it’s similar. Or maybe I missed them saying that .. Anyway I can’t wait to get my hands on this game!
