| - The Shift Cars (シフトカー Shifuto Kā), 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 Machine Modes (マシンモード Mashin Mōdo) to their Lever Modes (レバーモード Rebā Mōdo) by rotating them. Some Shift Cars enhance Drive's current Type form with a Tire Exchange (タイヤ交換 Taiya Kōkan), 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 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 unevolved 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. 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 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. When Will the Second Global Freeze Start? 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. Who Will You Entrust the Future to, My Friend?
