On physics undergraduate courses that is a perfectly serious question. Entire fields of study are (sort of) based on the answer.
⌠or shutdown at inception by âonly massless objects can travel at the speed of lightâ meaning neither you nor your car are going to be in this positionâŚ
Which makes it a more philosophical question. Or a relativistic/platonic hypothetical anomaly. (And we need a new thread. 
)
I guess so.
But you can get real-world objects with mass - electrons in a particle accelerator for example - very close to c. And when you do you can get them to produce light too. Then the business of âbut how fast is the light going ?â matters. I was lucky enough to spend quite some time visiting the lab where a lot of this work was done (boy, was that a clunky video though).
