	Accelerating opposite of the velocity of the car will cause it to brake. Held acceleration controls won't have any effect after a brake. The faster the car is going, the longer distance it will take to brake. The more powerful the [[fuel]] used to power the car, the faster the car's acceleration: [[Solid fuel]] adds 20% acceleration, [[rocket fuel]] adds 80% while [[nuclear fuel]] adds 150%. [[Stone brick]] will reduce rolling resistance on cars, with [[concrete]] and [[refined concrete]] equally reducing resistance even further.

			When using a controller, such as on the [[Nintendo Switch version\|Nintendo Switch]], the behaviour of the left joystick in vehicles can be switched between two modes:
			* Relative vehicle driving mode (default): Moving the stick in a direction will make vehicles automatically turn and accelerate to that side of the screen.
			* Absolute vehicle driving mode: Moving the stick up/down will make vehicles accelerate/brake. Moving the stick left/right will make vehicles turn in that direction.

	Cars can collide with objects. Both the car and the object collided with may take damage. The damage is dependent on the speed of the car and the health of the target; small biters and trees can be safely rammed but colliding with big biters can easily destroy the vehicle and its contents. If the car is destroyed, its inventory is destroyed with it, though the player gets ejected and not killed.		Cars can collide with objects. Both the car and the object collided with may take damage.

The passenger can take control of the weapons of the car using a switch in the GUI of the car, but cannot steer the car. Cars will take on the color of the player who drove it last.

	Cars are moved by [[transport belt]]s and [[inserter]]s can interact with them. Because of that, cars may be used as large chests or as another mean of transportation besides belts, [[train]]s and [[robots]].
