Yeah, prepositions do complicate matters. The principle of motion towards vs. location/moment away from helps with those prepositions which can take both accusative and dative, but for other prepositions you do just have to learn.

The accusative is used with motion towards, and since aus conveys motion away from the car, I think the dative makes perfect sense
I think the key thing to mention about your accusative example is not that the car is part of the action, but rather that 'in' is describing motion towards/into something.
Nothing personnel
A jumper is a bad example, because it's not just made up of sleeves.
A bra is a much better example. But I was never making an argument that all things made up of two parts are referred to as a pair, just my thoughts on the rationale behind cases where we do.
I'd say it's less of a grammar rule and more about how things made up of two similar parts can be conceptualised
They're made up of two similar parts which form a pair, unlike a jumper
I feel like they get produced in Gru's lab
