If you're able to make a copy of the car, then sure. Otherwise, no.

There was nothing about that in the original quote. That's like a completely different conversation.

Yes, there was. "Piracy" in this context is specifically the unauthorized copying of data. Carjacking has nothing to do with that.

In this and every other context, renting exists. And in this and every other context, the fact that someone rents you something doesn't mean you are allowed to access it for free. Renting a movie or a videogame isn't purchasing, doesn't mean you are allowed to access it for free. Renting a car isn't purchasing, doesn't mean you're allowed to take it for free.
Copyright issues aside, the slogan I reacted to is just plain wrong.
