There is no use for rpm in a car

A: I an assuming you mean the rev counter in cars. The rev counter tells the driver how fast the engine is turning its revolution per minute. In a situation where you can't here the noise of the engine, it is useful to see on a gauge how may rev the engine is doing. Max revving a car for prolonged periods can blow the engine.
