        'price' => 'required',
        'photo' => 'image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif|max:2048', // Adjust file size and allowed extensions as needed


    ]);

    // Check if the file was uploaded successfully
    if ($request->hasFile('photo'))
     {
        $fileName = $request->file('photo')->store('images', 'public');

        // Save the product with the file name
        $validatedData['photo'] = $fileName;




    }
    // Create a new Car record in the database using the validated data
    Car::create($validatedData);
    // Redirect the user back to the previous page
    return redirect()->back();
}
}

routes

Route::post('storecar', [CarController::class, 'store'])->name('car.store');
Route::get('allcar', [CarController::class, 'index']);

You're missing the name attribute on the fuel type select input. Without this, Laravel won't be able to capture the value.

Update Fuel Type Select:

<div class="mb-3">
  <label>Fuel Type</label>
  <select class="form-select" name="fuel_type" aria-label="Default select example">
    <option selected>Open this select</option>
    <option value="1">Diesel</option>
    <option value="2">Petrol</option>
  </select>
</div>
