I see this bug in vehicles. They are normally around the cup holders. They are like ants and move fast. What are they and how do I get rid of them?

They are ants. If you are drinking sugary drinks like soda they may be attracted to the spills left behind. Clean thoroughly and often.
Is this a smashed one? It has the colors of an ant, but it is really hard to tell what it is.
In general--Bugs in cars need to be handled with a good cleaning to start no matter what they are or why or how they got there.
I strongly recommend NEVER using any kind of bug spray in a car as it can be very dangerous to inhale and get on your skin and in a car it doubles the danger as it gets hot in the summer and can really cause the fumes to be toxic to breathe and to the skin.
If a good cleaning (and keeping food out of the car) does not work, you may want to talk to the dealer about what they recommend--perhaps there is a safe product for cars I am not aware of that would get rid of them if for some reason they found the car a nice nesting place. Cars have warm parts which some bugs love so you could have a family taking up residence there.
Post back what you learn and how you proceed. Good luck!
