When can a car be impounded by the police?

When can a car be impounded by the police?

To my understanding, if a car is abandoned, involved in a crime (Seized as evidence), illegally parked, or the driver is too intoxicated to drive, the car will be impounded.

If a person is arrested during a traffic stop, is it common to allow the suspect to make arrangements for another party to obtain the car and transport it? For example, if a person is arrested for possession of marijuana after their vehicle is stopped, will the car be towed or impounded automatically? What if the driver has a companion who will not be arrested? Could that person drive the vehicle if the driver gives consent to his passenger?

Another example is if the stop is made on the highway. If a car is illegally parked, the car is normally fined, then towed within a few days. Would leaving that car ever be allowed to remain for the driver or a 3rd party to remove it, or is it automatically towed or impounded?
