The "car" is always on. It's impossible to turn off. Casting animate dead is manufacturing another always-on car, not turning an existing car on. And yes, I do believe making more polluting cars that can never be turned off is morally negative. ("Indefensible" is not the standard here - many evil acts can be defensible under some circumstances, that doesn't make those acts stop being evil.)
