They don't jump nearly high enough to do what you are proposing.

time?

I think that may be high enough, though not sure how likely LM would be to ever think to do that in combat, as cars in his universe don't have drivers.

Which imo he likely will not learn until he is to damaged to do so, as he will have had bashed his front in on the more durable vehicle, though the Driver's vehicle will likely be a bit damaged as well.

I doubt the Driver will get to McQueen, since he has evaded attacks from various Cars at the same time in a fairly restricted area.
Also, wouldn't McQueen know about mannually-controlled robots? (Which should be somewhat comparable to what McQueen could interpret when seeing the Driver) Since the Cars universe is literally just our universe, except everybody is a car.

That was only because he was faster, which he isn't in this situation.
Not sure, any instance that actually occurred?

Again, that is likely due to his speed, which is = here. And also again, he is still going to have to attack, so dodging isn't really that important to this fight. LM will likely have to damage himself.

Iirc it does.

Then I guess we agree to disagree

I don't know supporters of the cars franchise and I am pretty sure I am the only one who cares about the drivers. I still hold my vote that they will slam into each other a few times, LM getting to damaged to jump and realizing to late that the car is being controlled. Plus the Driver's car is possible more durable so I think it will last long enough to be mobile when that time comes.

Do to SBA they are trying to kill each other, which McQueen has never done. So he has to attack and doesn't have the speed to dodge.
- 12,638

Which would require incap, which means LM would have to try to damage the Driver's car enough that it cannot move.
- 12,638

They have the same reaction and movement speed though, so LM wouldn't be able to catch the driver either by that logic. And again, LM has no experience knowing the driver is controlling the car.

I'm not saying that McQueen will catch the Driver, I'm just saying that they will run at the same speed, giving LM time to act accordingly.
Think about it. From LM's perspective, the skeleton is a strange creature inside the brain of a car, pushing buttons, and the car acts accordingly. Also, the director of the first two movies said this:
If you think about this, we have autonomous car technology coming in right now. It's getting to the point where you can sit back in the car and it drives itself. Imagine in the near-future when the cars keep getting smarter and smarter and after one day they just go, "Why do we need human beings anymore? They're just slowing us down. It's just extra weight, let's get rid of them." But the car takes on the personality of the last person who drove it. Whoa. There you go.
Although he did say that this was his own theory, it's the closest we got to a canonical answer. That means that McQueen would understand what the Driver is.

And the Driver will have the same amount of time.
If it is a theory I don't think we can apply it.

It is to maneuver around obstacles and chase down randomly maneuvering opponents and ram into them.

Avoid LM, plan the best way to hit a living car, etc.

However, if the Driver wants to crash McQueen into a wall or something, he can always do this:

Thanks and I will watch that when I can

Iirc Doc actually did state he didn't teach McQueen all his tricks, plus LM shows no feats really like this. Also that is assuming both cars are driving the same direction, which I doubt will be what happens in this situation.
