Shift Cars

The , powered by Core Driviars, are miniature cars created for the purpose of helping humanity. They are used by Kamen Rider Drive in conjunction with his belt, the Drive Driver, and bracelet, the Shift Brace, which work together via infrared, when he changes them from their to their by rotating them.
Some Shift Cars enhance Drive's current Type form with a , adding the last part of a Shift Car's name to his current Type (i.e, Type Speed Flare). Some of them also come with a weapon called a Tire Specific Item for Drive to wield.
Shift Cars can also be used by Kamen Rider Mach and Kamen Rider Chaser by inserting them into the Mach Driver Honoh. Unlike the Shift Brace, it doesn't require them to change the selected Shift Car into its Lever Mode to be inserted.
They are able to attack Roidmudes by traveling on special tracks that they spawn, and are strong enough to incapacitate un-evolved Roidmudes. As long as someone has a Shift Car on their person, they are able to ignore the time distortions a Roidmude emits when active, unless multiple time distortion effects occur. In this case, one must have multiple Shift Cars on their person. Episode 22 shows that they can also destroy Roidmude constructs, such as the fake murder victims, so much that they were addressed as "guardian spirits".
Their most unique attribute though is their capacity for sentience and sapience. Though they cannot speak, Shift Cars can feel emotions such as mischievousness, frustration, happiness and even more complicated feelings such as regret and loss, and can show these emotions through their beeping or through car signs they spawn alongside their tracks. Only Shinnosuke, Mr. Belt, and Kiriko are shown to be able to understand them so far. Other Special Investigation Unit members are also aware of their existence but dismiss them as Shinnosuke's toy cars, until they found out about his secret.
They can be summoned by calling out their names, and other times they simply come of their own volition. Throughout the series they are off investigating their own cases, but return to Drive when they are done gathering data to assist him in battling Roidmudes.
In episode 21, Medic captures all of the Tire Exchange Shift Cars (except the Type Formula-styled ones) and brainwashes them into being Chase's assistants as they overpower Drive. All of them sport Medic's emblem and are able to travel around without the need of generating tracks in midair. Mashin Chaser tried to use them in a suicide attack against Drive Type Dead Heat, but Drive managed to assume Type Formula and rescue them along with Kiriko from the blaze. As of episode 22, the previously enslaved Shift Cars have been purified by Rinna.
After the Kamen Riders are met by Gold Drive, who possesses the ability to steal their weaponry, Rinna develops a special data coating which she applies to the transformation Shift Cars and Signal Bikes as well as the Trailer-Hou in order to protect them from Banno's power of theft. 
Followed by Gold Drive and Sigma Circular's destruction, the Shift Cars were among of Drive's arsenals alongside Ride Chaser, Ride Macher and Tridoron to be locked beneath the Drive Pit by Krim. 
== Design ==
A standard Shift Car consists of the following parts:
#: The hinge and braces in the middle of the Shift Car, it is what allows the cars to switch between Machine and Lever modes. It also deploys a small defensive shield around the Shift Car to increase durability during battle.
#: The outer chassis of the Shift Car, it is composed of multiple special alloys, and the proportion of each metal alloy is specially adjusted for each Shift Car so as to maximize the Shift Car's usage and powers. It also deflects a degree of damage from the car.
#: A miniature gravity drive engine built into the rear of the Shift Car, it generates power for the Drive System and generates waves via vibrations created in the Core Driviar-S that counter Heavy Acceleration waves produced by the Roidmudes. 
#: A connecting device at the bottom of the Shift Car, it is what allows it to stick to the Shift Brace. It conveys information to the Shift Brace about the characteristics of the car. In the DX toyline, it is what allows the DX Shift Brace to recognize which Shift Car is which via certain pin combinations.
#: An icon located on the underside of the Shift Car's rear end(front end on Shift cars like Mad Doctor), it displays a graphic that represents the abilities of the Shift Car. All Shift Cars whose Ability Crests hold the Drive logo are transformation shift cars. All other Shift Cars are for Tire Exchanges.
The Shift Tridoron consists of the following parts:
#: The Core Driviar which powers for the Drive System and generates vibration waves strong enough to counter even Super Heavy Acceleration fields.
#: The specialized panel beneath the Shift Car, which slots to the Shift Brace. It conveys information to the Shift Brace about the characteristics of the car.
#: Located on the left side of the Shift Car. The Transformation Button is the red button identified by a stylized "D" and is used to initiate a Rider transformation.
#: Located on the right side of the Shift Cars. The Combo Button is identified by a three-tire icon and is used to initiate Tire Blending.

==Notes==
*Both Kiriko and Shinnosuke often call the Shift Cars by the last word in their full names. (e.g. Funky Spike's nickname is Spike)
*So far, four Tire Exchange Shift Cars (Burning Solar, Colorful Commercial, Deco Traveller, and Amazing Circus) don't have their own respective Shift Tires and modes for Drive. Their debuts at this time are currently unknown.
**Deco Traveller was intentionally used by Drive in Mashin Chaser's Break Gunner to disorient him, possibly meaning a Tire Exchange with Traveller would have the same effect on himself.
*Deco Traveller is marked with a four kanji string on both its sides and on the roof of its trailer section: respectively, and , the latter of which having the same pronunciation as the Japanese pronunciation for Drive.
*It is currently unknown if changing Type Dead Heat's Shift Tire can remove the after effects of said Type (as in going into a berserk-like state) or not. However, as shown in episode 20, Drive can still use a Tire Exchange Shift Car to change the Deadheat Tire (in this case, Type Dead Heat Flare).
*Shift Deadheat and Shift Tridoron are the only Shift Cars that don't have a Lever Mode, though the latter's Machine Mode can be used as a lever.
**Shift Tridoron is also the first Shift Car to have built-in voices, followed by Shift Heartron and Shift Ride Crosser.
