Cars don't evolve either. You're playing on things that are analogous to evolution, not things that are examples of evolution. Biological evolution is what you're targeting, but you're all over the map with similar=same. All the word evolution means is change. Outside the strict model of biological evolution, you are talking analogies. Not identities.
I jumped in late. What 5 systems were given.
It seems that you are rejecting any definition of evolution that isn't strictly the biological evolutionary system which produced us. Your saying cars didn't evolve because they are not biological entities. Why is that only biological entities can evolve? Why can't things other than biological entities be subject to the process of evolution?
The 5 systems were:
The spider sim
Tribes
Cars
Chinese Whispers(a game played in classrooms)
Medical specialties
