Corrected entry: Before the steamroller crashes into the billboard, you can see that the game is tied and the red team won for no reason. Also the visiting team's score is above the home team's score, not below it like a real baseball scoreboard.

Corrected entry: If the vehicles are turning on humans, why didn't Curtis and Connie's car try to kill them? The only answer is that them making it to the truck stop serves the story line.
Correction: SPOILER ALERT: At the end of the movie it states the Russians blew up a UFO, implying perhaps it was aliens who controlled everything and everything that happened was just the Aliens playing or experimenting with us. So letting humans have control over some mechanical things was part of their plan, not a plot hole.

Correction: First, while the scoreboard does show a tie game (3 to 3), there's no score posted for the bottom of the 9th inning for the home team (which is the red team). Second, earlier in the scene we saw a player for the red team safely slide into home plate, which is when and how the red team won. The kid in charge of the manual scoreboard simply didn't bother to add a "1" to the bottom of the 9th spot or change the score from "3" to "4". The red team player scored what is called a "walk off run", meaning the game is over right then. And finally, the home team score is always on the bottom (with the visitor score being on top), as is correctly done so in the film. The home team always bats in the bottom of the innings.
