let's look at this scientifically.
Cars go through the three important life processes:
- Consumption
- Digestion
- Excretion
They consume products, they move autonomously, some of them have higher forms of intelligence to qualify for sentience (such as being aware of their environment and alerting people of danger). They can be dangerous and violent, they can be harmed, they have an exterior skin layer that protects their sensitive organs, they have eyes and mouths (although the eyes are slightly useless) and they also have mass and weight. They also know how to kill living creatures (rather effectively, I must say), which is a state of mind that only predators (i.e.: like lions) can have.
They also use the internet and can stay stationary for many hours, like most KYM users.
And they can also communicate their problems via sound, such as rattling or grinding.
So, are cars living creatures????
