I am genuinely interested, how were cars brought about through a racist history?

Is it strictly through the creation of interstates that cut through major cities (mostly colored neighborhoods)? Or are there more nefarious reasons?

That’s one big part of it, though there are other examples. The deliberate building of overpasses too low for buses to go under, stopping poor black people from getting to the beach by bus, is another well-known example.
