oOr, perhaps not..
To be conscious of somthing is an action involving much complexity.
A ferarri is also complex.

Ferarriness.....Consciousness.

The sum total of all the events that cause a Ferarri to be in a state of
existance are analogus to thost that comprise a conscious event...With all
the proper interrelations..voila'.
