Oh god, that is horrifying.
I'm glad though, that I'm not the only one who wasn't getting the appeal of watching animated motor vehicles. I mean, is it like Robots where they build their children?

You know, I really would love to see how they evolved.
The more sexual innuendoes were strange when a pair of twins "flashed" Mcqueen.

Maybe because the placement of the lights looked like it was on the face so having to reconcile that with human standards of sexualization led to some conflict of cultural anthropomorphism.
I am intrigued by the idea of examining the implications of such a world as disturbing as sentient vehicles. Like how can they grasp things with tires for hands? If trailers carry cars, does that feel weird having someone in your body?
