There are plenty of friction occurring in a running car. Here are some examples:
a) the different parts like the pistons, and the different gears and shafts in its main engine.
b)The cars breaking system which uses its brake-pads and this discs breaks using friction to stop the car.
c)The car moves forward or stop by means of friction between its tires and the road

Why does some friction occur with seemingly smoth surfaces?
Some friction will occur with seemingly smooth surfaces because at a molecular level, nothing is smooth.
Why are tyres useful friction?
how does friction help car tyres?
How does friction apply to running?
It slows your speed down every time your feet touch the ground.
How do you use friction daily?
Walking , if there is no friction you wont be able to walk properly . Another important thing is driving . In the absence of friction the car wheels wont be able to rotate probably thus the car will just go in circles.
What are the forces acting on the cars and explain why the cars do not slide down the hill?
The car is being acted upon by gravity and friction. The reason that the car doesn't slide down the hill is because friction is keeping the car in place.
When a car engine running smoothly is friction caused?
Yes. Ideally, it's fluid friction.
What type of energy does friction of running car tires on a road causes?
It generates heat (from kinetic energy of the car).
Can friction can increase speed?
Sure. When I am running, I need to have good friction between my running shoes and the ground that I am running on, in order to be able to run quickly. A car needs a good level of friction between the tires and the road to drive at a high speed. Otherwise the wheels just spin but the car doesn't move (this can happen when you are stuck in the ice).
Can Friction occur in a vacuum?
Yes, in general friction can occur in a vacuum, but the only kind of friction that doesn't occur in a vacuum is, of course, air friction. There is no drag force on an object falling in a vacuum.
Why could cars not move without friction?
When the wheels of a car turn, friction causes the wheels to push back on the road, which in turn causes the road to push the car forward. Without friction the wheels would just spin in place. You can sometimes see this occur on icy roads, where there is very little friction.
What type of friction occurs when running?
Air friction
What is the force between tires and the road when a car brakes?
The forces that occur between tyres and the road when a car brakes are traction and friction. Traction is the gripping of the tyre on the road, while friction is the force that occurs when two surfaces rub together.
What is a feature of a car that increases friction?
the front boot of the car increases the friction on the car
How does Friction occur in liquids?
friction affects in any Circumtances
