My sister insists her SUV which gets to skirt around environmental rules because it’s classified as a light truck is a “car”. That’s pushing it, I think. This bus is a motor vehicle, but it has more wheels than a car, and carries far more passengers than a car. It doesn’t have to follow the same safety regulations that cars do (although it has some regulations of its own).
Well, it’s a carriage, that’s what car means. It’s also self moving which also makes it an automobile which is also colloquially a car.
We can probably take this further, a group of cars in train may also count as a tram if they travel down a tramway or trolleyway. We just need to find a gap in the rail schedule and a few people we trust to drive close together enough to be called “cars in train”…
Is that really a car?

No, it isn’t.
No, there are subtle differences between “automobile” and “car”.
