A workaround exists, but it's no guarantee.

The latest patch for Cyberpunk 2077 has introduced a bug which can potentially cause you to be unable to progress in the game.  At the end of the quest Down in the Street, the character Goro Takemura calls the player. Previous to 1.1 he just wouldn't call sometimes, halting the game. Now Takemura can call the player and just... not speak. And that's it.

Simply reloading an older save doesn't fix this problem, as the bug  will reoccur. That means your saves from after the bug happens are all lost in terms of game progression. But there is a fix if you're lucky enough to have a save from before the bug.
