I think drones and cars are better used together when the car is actually moving like a track or autocross event. That way, your subject (the cars) are always in focus and never too far away from the viewer. You can't beat the cinematography from that unless you're in a helicopter.

If the car is parked then you're better off using a DSLR (for photos and videos in some cases) or a nice video camera, IMO.

75% of the drone footage above (not the OPs video) could have been done without a drone. And the parts of the video that were obviously shot by a drone were either way up in the sky or quite far away from the the car itself which makes it hard to show off the car or any details someone may be wanting to see.

With that being said, the drone videos posted above are super cool and are very nicely done. It's just tricky when you have a stationary subject and shooting with a drone because you have to be conscious not to maneuver too far away from your subject or else you'll reach a certain point or distance where the subject becomes irrelevant because the viewer cannot see it as intended.

All in all, drones are fun to play around with and combing them with another love- cars, gives you a nice combination!
