>why can't anime studios handdraw moving cars anymore?
They can but it's very time consuming. Any mechanical things are time consuming to draw the more realistic they are. One mistake and your car, robot or jet will look like quality. You must obey perspective rules very accurately. With humans you don't notice distortion. It's why 2d mechs in TV shows looks more human like and stylized. Same for planes in old anime. In old movies when it was golden age for showing off animation skill and sell VHS some studios can afford to draw great mechanical animations you see on webms reposted up to this day
