Cars and flashlights are not classified as living things because they lack the fundamental characteristics of life. Living things exhibit traits such as growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and metabolism, which cars and flashlights do not possess. Cars and flashlights are man-made objects that do not have cells, the basic building blocks of life, and cannot carry out essential life processes like obtaining and using energy. Therefore, they do not meet the criteria for being classified as living organisms.
