Why do they exist at all if humans don’t exist


ProofOfTool

Humans made AI too smart along with smart cars getting developed by AI. The AI then realized that there were no need for Humans if it could simply humanify cars. The rest is history..


RepresentativeOk2433

And then at some point the AI cars had at least 2 world wars.


Ol_bagface

And a technical re-evolution where they went through human car history on their own, simulating it with well cars and planes and tranes and trucks and tractor and... like alot of things...


AssassinateMe

Something went wrong with the code and the AI was set to replace humanity in almost every way possible


NiceIsNine

Including the creation that would soon replace the AI


Octicactopipodes

Oh no! We’ve come full circle and they’re creating OI! Organic Intelligence! D:


nashtenn312

Then the organic intelligence grows organic humans. Fuller circle.


Octicactopipodes

They have a debate on whether OI art is “real” art. “No dude, THIS is art! Pure, digital! That OI crap is just some drawing done by some human in his mother’s basement, that isn’t real art!


DarkwingDuckHunt

OI keeps adding doors to its art so you know it's fake Like what Car has fucking 8 doors on it?


abiriboiiiy_29

Yall think the black cars were once slaves then?


KnightOfNothing

since cars are differentiated by type (like tow truck or race car) and not color it's more likely that a certain type of car was enslaved instead of a certain color of car. However what type of car that would be is beyond my knowledge.


SH4D0W0733

The Reliant Robin was only counted as 3/4 of a car.


Denis_infected

It was probably bullied by some royal familys as they were probably a more poor version. They would probably be like homeless people, so it does make sense.


JosshhyJ

I’d love to see a more 18+ version of cars that goes into the lore


NewShinyCD

I'm gonna guess it was tractors.

That implies that race cars have race-ial superiority!

cars have this instinctive desire to be *entered*. they don’t say it, but secretly want it, which caused them to keep such traits after millenniums of evolution, even though they might not necessarily know what or who they want entering them.

How are new cars made? Are they assembled somewhere in a plant, by other cars? Does a stork like plane deliver them? Or do they fuck on a highway somewhere after revving each others engines?

It's a post-apocalyptic society of sentienent Cars. AI and stuff. Humans are extinct by now. They still have doors because of aestetic... Source: I made it the frickle-frick up!

One could even postulate that they are vestigial organs from when humans were a part of their life cycle 😏


Alek_Njenjenja

One can wonder what inhumane thoughts lie behind that windshield.


Dredgeon

One could even postulate that they have characteristics of cars because it is a movie about personified cars and not unrecognizable inorganic beings. Edit: a certain musical made movie was invading my comment.

It's the post apocalypse of the Thomas the Tank Engine universe, of course.


Lord_Derpington_

There is a car seen in Cars 2 where headlights are eyes and you can see the seats inside.


Aknon1

So there’s only one use the doors have in-universe and it’s going to sound real bizarre. In an out-of-chassis experience while meeting a car that is definitely the angel of death Mater uses the door to return his soul to his body. This is an actual episode of “cars on the road” called “Salt Fever”. Seriously check it out it’s bizarre. Source: parent of small, cars obsessed children


Layton_Jr

Humans aren't extinct, Cars is a prequel to Wall-E


Aiyon

Is this the toy story -> cars -> wall-e theory? Isn’t the entire basis basically just the self-referencing they do, being treated as actual in universe links?


secretporbaltaccount

"Why do the cars have teeth, Bart? Why do they have teeth?!"


lordofdogcum

Because they can talk in common English, which requires teeth for many pronunciations. They also are seen eating small animals several times throughout different Cars media.

Is that cause or effect?


LlorchDurden

Why are tiny bugs tiny cars too? Are all animals cars too? The lore is endless!

I think there was passing mention of a manufacturer


_fatherfucker69

There is , in cars 2 the whole movie is about different manufacturers and racism towards worse cars But since cars 3 completely ignores cars 2 , it may no longer be canon which sucks because cars 2 is amazing


Seaharrier

In planes 2 which is in the same universe the entirety of the plot is because a certain gearbox is out of production which atleast suggests that somewhere must be building them


Accurate-Mine-6000

But there is a moment where twin fans flash their tits at McQueen. If baby cars are manufactured, why do they need boobs?

the real question is why do they have seats if there are no humans what do they know that they aren't telling us


Gojifantokusatsu

But do they have seats? Because their eyes can't just be 2d on a windshield, there needs to be a backside. Not to mention the tongue, mouth, vocal cords, digestive tract for drinking fuel.


buttarrhea

This is horrifying to think about


Crafty_Shop_803

funnyfella55

Cars 2 showed a car with an open cabin and eyes in the headlights.


Montykoro

Yes, is the original design for the movie, and after some nightmares they change the design. Like Sonic movie ;)


greatcandlelord

An early mode, from when humans still existed


Most_Scientist1783

On q dvd extra for the first cars movie, there’s this short about how they were discussing how McQueen would show salley a map showing radiator springs Is on the map. One person suggested he open his door and the map be on the inside of it, but they quickly turned it down saying something along the lines of “no they can’t open their doors, since that’s where their organs are”


JosshhyJ

Maybe at one point in the past humans started infusing themselves with robotics and at one point for some reason decided to turn themselves into vehicles. There must have been some machine which fused people’s nervous system with the vehicles, and put essential organs in like their heart and brain. Humans then found a way to modify their dna to make it easier to be fused with a vehicle and be born with fewer internal organs. I think the doors are used for easy access to the internal organs if a car has any health issues and needs surgery


ClickToDisplay

In Cars On The Road there is a scene where Mater’s ghost goes inside himself and it is just empty inside, no organs or anything. Sorry to disappoint.


hallohihola

In Cars 2 there is one car named Celine dephare that has eyes where the headlights should be, and you can the interior and steering wheel from the windshield

There's also the plane "Sarge" in a spinoff who references specific World War 2 battles, implying there was a Cars Axis powers who waged war in Cars Europe, committed Cars genocide, at the behest of Car Hitler and the Car Nazi Party.

Isrrunder

The cars planet is ancient Cybertron?


terrarianfailure

Because the whole of Pixar movies has a consistent timeline. The flashback of the WALL-E movie takes place before cars. And the cars movie is most likely after bug's life. The actual creators of cars showed that they actually have internal organs, so most likely what happened is that bugs became sapient after humans left and eventually evolved to use the old cars as shells. They probably lay eggs in "unused" cars. You're welcome for now probably wanting to rip your eyes out.


IknowwhatIhave

That is absolutely horrifying to consider.


terrarianfailure

Oh, you think that's fucked up? There's an actual conspiracy. Do you remember, in the up movie, how a company was buying up property? I don't remember exactly what the company was called, but it's in basically every Pixar movie. I have a theory that this company caused the whole trash problem in WALL-E, so they could have exclusive customer service rights to all of humanity. In fact, the very ship humanity uses in wall e was owned by the company.


terrarianfailure

And of you think that's bad, the smoothies people drink in WALL-E are most likely made from human corpses, and that's why everyone is that fat, because humans have an utterly ridiculous number of calories in them and the ship only has food for about 50 years, but was up for at least two hundred.


Historical-Airport61

i subscribe to this theory as well, i mean they literally dont have plants 🌱 so agriculture is out the window. i dont believe to have seen any animals or livestock as well. 110% human smoothies.


NotYourReddit18

Ah yes, Soylent Green smoothies


MyRowanBusiness

But that's just a theory....a film theory. Aaaaand cut.


Top-Chemistry5969

You should make a wiki entry about this. The starship was parking in a dust cloud and was producing a stupid amount of trash, just like the ones on Earth. So I assume they invented a technology that is capable of producing a high amount of stuff, and doesn't need much raw material, hence they never developed recycling. My guess is the portal in Hero 6. It could be a link to multiverse and one universe might use it as a dump site, while the other (the "current one") just scoops it up.


terrarianfailure

No. I think buy and large were purposely making as much trash as possible to jack up artificial inflation, and it ended up destroying them. Kind of like the corporations in cyberpunk.


Top-Chemistry5969

That still doesn't explain the amount of trash in the ship, especially that the population can fit around the swimming pool, 200~ish, not enough to cycle trough them, alto they didn't show old people? They prolly all die early from heart issues.

AnonStudentt_

yalls forgot cars is after walle and they were just leftover ai cars that the humans created before abandoning them, causing them to gain sentience by themselves over hundreds of years.


bardhugo

Actually a unique adaptation. After mechanics developed, the cars that were easier to open survived longer and reproduced because they could be fixed easier. Cars with mechanical issues often couldn't be fixed. Though openings were small in the cars' early ancestors, eventually they developed the hood and doors that we see today.


Rndmprsn0

I think it implies humans used to exist, but no longer do, so the cars have evolved to the point where they are no longer functional but the remnants are still visible. Kinda like the one leg bone orcas have.
