Because the car faces you, π feels more like "I'm coming" than the side view π. It is a neutral, practical emoji for trips, rides, road updates and new car posts. People send it when they are leaving to collect a friend, when a cab is near, or to show they are already on the road. It carries no hidden or romantic meaning.
It often means "on my way" or "I'm outside" when picking someone up.
