According to the docs the distance between two points is the straight way between them. If you want the distance between two cars and taking streets etc. into account you need more waypoints:

Computes the approximate distance in meters between two locations, and optionally the initial and final bearings of the shortest path between them. Distance and bearing are defined using the WGS84 ellipsoid.
