*Drive* performs this function in English:

> 2 a : to operate a vehicle  
// learned to drive at the age of seventeen  
b : to have oneself carried in a vehicle  
// drove to Canada as a kid

Sometimes, *ride* works as well, but it's almost never used with a *car*:

> 1 a: to travel on  
// ride a bike  
// ride the bus

However, I don't really understand the purpose of your example; "going by a vehicle" is something a person would do, but in your example, the car itself is the subject.
