Three things here, first of all, there are a few cars in existence that do not need gas or electricity. Compressed air for example. I hear that researchers are doing anazing things using combustible materials to utilise the phase change that water undergoes. It may soon lead to a wonderous age powered by heating water until it can be used as a high pressure gas.

Objective reality does not imply consistent measurement of that reality.

Objective reality may not actually exist. Once you start throwing around relativity and quantum effects things get weird, getting them to play nicely together might be even weirder,

Nobody has a working car that doesn't need energy. I almost changed it to energy but figured nobody would not get the point.

"Objective reality does not imply consistent measurement of that reality."

Yet global science converges on a consistent world view. Everybody's telescopes all see the same things.

Modern technology only works because there is a objective reality.
