Solution
The car is not considered a living organism because it does not have the following properties:

- No Reproduction- All living beings undergo the process of reproduction but the car does not reproduce.
- Lack of respiration- respiration is an essential process for the survival of the living being but the car does not undergo the process of respiration.
Thus, these points above cleared the fact that a car is a non-living thing.
