Dogs bark to communicate. We talk to communicate various things and dogs bark. They can bark for many reasons because they are territorial and trying to guard their house or their area.

They could be barking because they are afraid of something. As you can see there are many reasons why a dog barks and they are all ways that he communicates. If you are giving them what they want when they are barking for attention and you give it to them..then they have learned that barking gives them what they want.
To stop your dog from barking u must socialize it with many people. Most dogs bark because they are curious to know about different things. Whenever your dog barks try saying "speak" or "bark" so that your dog knows when to bark. Try rewarding her with some treat the next time she barks when you say "speak". Most important thing is try not to punish your dog by beating her instead try isolating her for sometime.
With this technique i stopped my dog from barking unnecessarily.
Please don't use punishment as hitting/squirting/shocking a dog may cause more complex problems such as nervousness/aggression.
Also, for the barking at cars, try blocking your dogs view from the window? If he's sitting on a chair to see out the window, moving the chair means he doesn't have a look out post so he can't be visually stimulated by the cars passing.
