Sure it does. Some cars have complex computers monitoring each wheel, revs, fuel consumption, etc. etc. Some of the more advanced ones even have some learning capability-- automatically adjusting the suspension suiting the driving styles of individual drivers, etc.

Would you say these cars have selves and free wills?
