That's like saying exploding cars when you're really talking about a bomb placed in a car...
"A bomb going 80 mph on the highway exploded."
Doesn't give the right information.
And if we're being pedantic, when a bomb explodes, so does everything around it. Exploding doesn't require a chemical reaction. It's the act of tearing apart quickly. So yes, the car exploded.
That's in English though. Other languages may be different.
