One thing that doesn't seem to get mentioned much is the way some of the instrumentation of the song imitates the sounds in cars. The initial wavering note sounding like the ignition, and then the high single synth note held for four entire loops of the main six-note bass riff then descending through a major chord sequence, to sound like a gear-shift sequence. Very creative.
I had to go listen to the song after reading this...and you are very much correct. I don't know how I never realized it before! How brilliant of you to pick up on that! If I could give you a gold star I most definitely would!

There's also a steady warble in parts of the song that reminds me of the sound tires make against pavement.
