I feel like every time someone insists on making a car analogy, it just piles on more evidence that car analogies never work.

At least you don't have to get a new endorsement on your license for every model of car.

Analogy implies partial similarity. Of course there will be differences.

In Germany, if you get your drivers license on an automatic car, then you are only allowed to drive automatic cars, and have to extend your license to drive manual cars.

Analogy implies that people could die. They have died.
