* ''WesternAnimation/DiveOllyDive''

* In the fourth ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' movie ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheCastleOfTheUnderseaDevil'', one serves as the TheTeam's underwater exploration vehicle. It acts as somewhat of a DeadpanSnarker and {{Jerkass}} to most of the boys, although it acts nice to Shizuka, partly because she is nice to it. [[spoiler: In the climax, despite being stuffed into Doraemon's [[{{Hammerspace}} 4-D Pocket]], it hears Shizuka crying and bursts out, performing a HeroicSacrifice and taking down the BigBad.]]

* In ''Comicbook/SpiderVerse'', amongst the weirder AU Spiders is a sentient Spider-Mobile from a universe of living cars.

* Apart of this channel, there're others like [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4PWQfUTDgxEBwmmLhRWTJw BinBin TV]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/KidsHopHip Hip Hop Kids]] that also features "Good vs Evil" videos about vehicles fighting against their {{Evil Counterpart}}s, or normal vehicles [[FaceMonsterTurn converted into them]].

* ''WebVideo/TheBritishRailwayStories'': The cast of the stories are the steam locomotives of Copley Hill sheds. Allen, Stephen, Sir Ralph, Scott, Herbert, Nigel, Tavish, and later Gronk.

* One dream in ''Literature/NightmareBeings'' had a milk truck with an old man's face on the front that shouted "[[MadnessMantra YOU'RE REPEATING THE PUZZLE! YOU'VE BEEN REPEATING THE PUZZLE! YOU'RE REPEATING THE PUZZLE!]]"

* WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends is actually an [[AdaptationDisplacement adaptation]] of a series of books called "The Railway Series" by the Rev. W. Awdry[[note]]Further, Thomas wasn't originally the main character. He didn't even appear in the first book[[/note]].

* The .007 from the Creator/RudyardKipling short story of the same name.

* The Asurada series of cars in ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'' are race cars that can talk. Justified since it has an AI supercomputer built into them.

* "WesternAnimation/LittleJohnnyJet", a 1953 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon [[WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons directed by Tex Avery]]. A sentient B-29 bomber is despondent because he can't get work in the new age of jet aircraft.

* One of the species in ''Advertising/Cryptoland'' are sentient cars. These cars tend to say “To the moon!”, which annoys Connie.

* ''VideoGame/RainbowBillyTheCurseOfTheLeviathan'': Friend-Ship is a living tugboat with eyes that ferries [[PlayerCharacter Billy]] around the sea. He runs on colour fuel, which drains as he moves, and can be refueled by chugging through specialized waters.

* All the vehicles in the ''VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}'' franchise - not just the cars and trucks and buses, but the planes and boats too - have faces and are at least sentient enough to perform actions on their own (the car in ''Anime/EigaTamagotchiHimitsuNoOtodokeDaiSakusen'' clearly tries, of its own volition, to outrun the vehicle after the Tama-Friends' special delivery to the Gotchi King).

* Myth/ClassicalMythology makes this OlderThanFeudalism, maybe even OlderThanDirt, with Homer writing in ''{{Literature/TheOdyssey}}'' of Phaeacian ships that "have no pilots, nor steering oars such as other ships have, but the ships themselves understand the thoughts and minds of men, and they know the cities and rich fields of all peoples, and the gulf of the sea..."

* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' has several of these, with most of them being trains:
** The [[Recap/DigimonTamersM2TheRunawayDigimonExpress second]] ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' movie features Locomon, an intelligent locomotive whose desire to run was amplified by [[PuppeteerParasite Parasimon]] until it became all-consuming. Parasimon compelled Locomon to run faster and faster until he tore a portal between worlds for Parasimon's buddies to invade through. Locomon evolves to [=GrandLocomon=], a larger train with a much faster engine and a spiked wheel in front, in the process.
** The Trailmon of ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'' are a group of sapient monorail trains that travel the railroads of the Digital World. Each variety has a wildly different design and personality, from the bulky Trailmon Franken to the minecart-like Trailmon Ball to the otherworldly Trailmon of Darkness.
** ''Manga/DigimonNext'' features Trailmon C-89, a unique Trailmon variant based on a bullet train. It can fight using its SuperMode, [[MoreDakka Trailmon Battle Form]], though it is ultimately killed off by the tank-like Trailmon Battle Armament.
** The [[DownInTheDumps Dust Zone]] of ''Anime/DigimonFusion'' is home to several Trailmon and ruled over by a tyrannical [=GrandLocomon=] who bribes and threatens the local Digimon into stealing a Fusion Loader so that it can leave the Zone.
** ''Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersWhoLeaptThroughTime'' features another Locomon partnered to [[RailEnthusiast Kiichi Funabashi]]. Like his predecessor from the ''Tamers'' movie, he wants to run faster and his wish is granted by a Parasimon, this time supplied by [[{{Jerkass}} Ren]] as a bribe to convince Locomon to join him. Unlike his predecessor, this Locomon can also fly, which he and Kiichi use to provide world tours to other kids.
** ''Anime/DigimonUniverseAppMonsters'' features Resshamon, a cycloptic train that runs completely out of control after being [[TheCorruption corrupted]] by a Viramon, [[RunawayTrain taking an actual train full of passengers along with it]]. It keeps running after Gatchmon and Musimon manage to knock it out, with disaster only being narrowly averted when Musimon gets it to hit the brakes by calling the next stop.
** ''Anime/DigimonAdventure2020'' features Machmon, a cybernetic motorcycle who loves to race, but used the power boost from a Parasimon to unfairly beat his competition. As a result, Parasimon periodically sends him out of control and he lives all alone on his track until he meets Yamato and Gabumon, the latter of whom is also a something of a racing enthusiast.

** ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' also had the machine digimon Locomon, which traveled on conventional dual metal rails, unlike the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_monorail single metal rail]] used by the Trailmon of later works in the franchise.
