well friction is almost the essential component in a car. You have friction everywhere. You have friction in your engine, your brakes, your transmission, and on your tires. Friction helps you move and stop. Most cars today waste the energy made from friction but some hybrids use all of these frictions to charge their battery to start the car over and over again, or help it down the road.
