The cars themselves *are* moving in reality, it is in my fictitious *model* of the cars that they appear to be stationary.
Modeling moving objects to make them appear stationary doesn't make the actual objects themselves stationary, QED.

How do you know the cars are moving? Moving with respect to what? How fast are they going?
To: Southack
But the cars are moving only in relation to something else. If, for instance, you are pacing a car at 60 mph on the interstate, the other car is stationary relative to you. Everything is relative as there is no absolute frame of reference.
