Yeah, prepositions do complicate matters. The principle of motion towards vs. location/moment away from helps with those prepositions which can take both accusative and dative, but for other prepositions you do just have to learn.
The accusative is used with motion towards, and since aus conveys motion away from the car, I think the dative makes perfect sense
I think the key thing to mention about your accusative example is not that the car is part of the action, but rather that ‘in’ is describing motion towards/into something.
Nothing personnel
