Sometimes an [[Invisibility Cloak|invisible]] vehicle acts as an [[Invisibility Cloak]].
 
But other times it doesn't.
 
This trope happens when the vehicle itself is invisible, but the driver or pilot and passengers can be seen from outside the vehicle.

* [[Wonder Woman]]’s invisible jet is the classic example, if not the [[Trope Codifier]].

* In WWI someone came up with a plane that had lots of parts that were clear. The engine and pilot were still visible, but from a distance, much of the plane being ‘invisible’ was helpful (e.g. avoiding detection from anti aircraft spotters). It was regarded as a failure as after being exposed to the sun for prolonged periods of time (no more than a few weeks, I don't remember how long), the invisible parts would degrade in a fashion that rendered them visible.
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' when Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy drive their invisible boat-mobile, they are both very visible while the boat is not.
* Played for laughs in ''[[Family Guy]]'' in a cutaway showing Wonder Woman sitting on what seems to be nothing (in what is supposed to be her invisible plane). Superman flies beside her and attempts to strike a conversation, but awkwardness ensues when she informs him that she was currently using the invisible restroom.
