The circuits in a car are in parallel; since most likely, when you turn something off in your car, everything else does not turn off along with it. A series circuit for the accessories in your car would result in the inability to control individual accessories, turning off the radio might turn off the AC, and turning on the wipers might open the windows. Connecting the electronics in parallel, however, results in individual control of each accessory, i.e. one does not depend on whether the other is on. However, what about the ignition switch allowing the accessories to be turn on at all? The ignition is actually a master switch for the parallel circuit that controls the accessories, which is wired inseries which completely cuts off the rest of the circuit if it is open; therefore, denying control to the accessories.
