I think it works exactly because you are not moving in a real car, the car is moving.
With a physical wheel then just simulating vision makes it true virtual reality for car driving.
Almost nothing else is like this though. Virtual reality swimming I think is the best example of why VR sucks in the general sense. The visual aspect is just a small aspect of the experience of swimming. We can't simulate any other aspect of it with VR goggles.
Simulating most real life experience is much closer to the problem of swimming than the problem of driving a car.
