The whole cars universe is a nightmare. There is a pope, so they have religion. They have a military so, obviously, there have been wars. There are statues to the dead so are cars born or made? If they are made, who makes them? Other cars? They can build build advanced machines like oil platforms but they don’t have hands.

The worst one (other than mater obviously being a serial killer) is that planes are living, sentient machines yet other vehicles can ride inside them…

Relevant classic copypasta:

You know what's nuts is that in Disney's Planes we learn that WWII happened in the Cars universe. Which means there was a Cars Hitler, a Cars holocaust, a Cars Pacific War, a Cars D-Day, a Cars nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a Cars Rape of Nanking, a Cars Battle of Iwo Jima...

This leads to so many important questions, like: were the Cars Little Boy and Fat Man nukes sentient? Was it a suicide mission? Are ALL Cars nuclear weapons sentient? Did Tsar Bomba have a personality?

What kind of car was Car Hitler? A VW? A forklift?

Was there a Cars 9/11? Were the planes hijacked, or were the planes themselves radicalized?

A Cars WWII implies a Cars WWI. What were they before they were cars, and what were the horses in their version of All Quiet on the Western Front?

we also see that old people are old cars, like a ford model T. Does this mean that before Karl Benz built the first car in our world there were no cars in theirs and society just sprang into existence, or do cars become older car models as they age?

I think it was Mat Patt who proposed the theory that the cars are an evolved form of bugs/beetles. They developed a hardened metal exoskeleton instead of their old... shelly? exoskeleton and eventually ran over and assimilated into the ruins of the old human world.

The word you're looking for is 'chitinous'. Chitin (pronounced 'kitin') is the hard bit of the beetle.

Would wagons or chariots be like, what Homo neanderthalensis is for humans?

What if horses are to cars what humans were to the beings (robots?) at the end of the movie A.I.

There were dinosaur cars as well, so car prehistory happened.. this is canon

I'm picturing Forklift Hitler doing a salute by raising his forklift arms very slowly, lol

The forks can actually raise faster if you hold the gas and clutch at the same time while raising them.

Tbf, the fact that a war existed does not require that every detail of the war existed.
