The car only follows the targetmesh (the green cross), waht you need to do is to animate the targetmesh. What we did with this particular movie was to parent the targetmesh onto a Craft DirectInputLink node (invisible in the render) and use it to animate the targetmesh.
You can also link it to a spline and animate movement as you normally do, or use Craft SplineSpeedController for advanced usage.

I managed to take my doubts, I was forgetting to apply the path constraint
