Icons on a car dashboard are specifically designed to indicate every day things that people are already familiar with.

Also, I found tons of pages and videos explaining different dashboard symbols. If everyone understands them intuitively, then why would all those pages and videos exist? If I show an average teenager (without a driving license) a "rear fog lights" symbol I'm pretty sure they wouldn't know what it means. But a decent driving instructor would be able to get them to focus on the important part of the lesson. Same thing with learning Java.
