Apparently, four actors have been chosen who have same physical structure like Walker and they will be used for movement and base.

The cars are then jettisoned out with the heroes inside. Parachutes deploy from the cars as they land in formation onto the road below. Vin Diesel and his gang then drive off in a convoy.
