It isn't the case that non-living things can never be in possessive form. The issue is whether the particular combination of words makes sense / can be true.
"The car's leather seats are black" is fine because the car does "possess" the leather seats. The leather seats "belong" to the car.
"The car's proclamation that speeding is dangerous..." is not okay because the car cannot make a proclamation. "The car owner's proclamation that speeding is dangerous" is okay because a car owner can make a proclamation.
Thanks,
But then here what is wrong (question : UPTHREAD)
