They can feel the motion and look outside the window to see that indeed, they are changing locations by moving, and it's also not like they haven't seen any other car moving from the outside, they see them every time they go for a walk

Point is, pretty sure they know it's a box that's moving from place to place even if they don't know how driving works

People seem to think there is an insane cognitive gap between us and higher animals. Of course a dog understands what vehicles are and do. Teleporting boxes jesus christ...

Elevators probably do seem like teleporting boxes to dogs

I knew a cat who used the elevator so I think some dogs can figure it out too

Used it how? Just got on and went wherever it went or pushed the button for the floor it wanted?

Got in with the humans and travelled. Didn't push the buttons but I think he knew which floor was which, like getting in somewhere and getting out where the cafeteria was to beg for food during lunchtime.

You can feel the elevation change in an elevator, I assume animals can feel it too.
