A vehicle may be laden with explosives, set to explode by remote control or by a passenger/driver, commonly known as a [[car bombs|car bomb]] or vehicle-borne IED (VBIED, pronounced ''vee-bid''). On occasion the driver of the car bomb may have been coerced into delivery of the vehicle under duress, a situation known as a [[proxy bomb]]. Distinguishing features are low-riding vehicles with excessive weight, vehicles with only one passenger, and ones where the interior of the vehicles look as if they have been stripped down and built back up.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Improvised explosive device Background, Counterefforts, Historical Usage |url=https://epapernews.org/en/improvised_explosive_device-2204440660 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220109192434/https://epapernews.org/en/improvised_explosive_device-2204440660 |archive-date=January 9, 2022 |access-date=July 27, 2022 |website=EPaperNews}}</ref> Car bombs can carry thousands of pounds of explosives<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-01-17 |title=ISIS is dropping bombs with drones in Iraq |url=https://www.popsci.com/isis-is-dropping-bombs-with-drones-in-iraq/ |access-date=2022-07-27 |website=Popular Science |language=en-US|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230321051942/https://www.popsci.com/isis-is-dropping-bombs-with-drones-in-iraq/|archive-date=March 21, 2023}}</ref> and may be augmented with [[Fragmentation (weaponry)|shrapnel]] to increase fragmentation.
