* No cells: Living things are made of cells, the basic building blocks of life. Cars don't have cells.
* No metabolism: Living things take in nutrients, convert them into energy, and produce waste products. Cars need fuel to operate, but they don't process it in the same way living things do.
* No growth and reproduction: Living things grow and reproduce. Cars don't grow and they can't reproduce themselves.
* No response to stimuli: Living things respond to changes in their environment. Cars don't have the ability to sense or respond to their surroundings in a way that is similar to living organisms.
While a car can be very complex and perform many tasks, it is still just a machine. It's not capable of the fundamental characteristics of life.
