There are a few Dragon Ball Z scenes in which Androids 16, 17 and 18 ride a
truck despite the fact that they are capable of flight. It grants extra time
to the heroes to recover (such as in Goku's case) and think about or prepare
for what to do next, like exploring Cell's egg, or merging Picollo with Kami.
To me, it seems both unreasonable and humorous at the same time.

Nevertheless, I don't understand the reason for why the producers/storywriters
decided to do this. Is there any reason given for this strange choice? Could
it be some kind of plot hole or plot device?

Why do Androids in Dragon Ball Z sometimes use cars?


There was a specific reason why they were using the car:

17 and 18 weren't that emotionally invested in killing Goku, and they were
just killing time.

They knew that taking a car was impractical, but they took one anyway because
android 17 felt like it
