Because it is so light.

Because the car is pressurized, and everything within the car is in the same frame of reference. All things inside the car are moving at the same speed as the car itself, assuming the car is basically sealed. Molecules of the back end of the car are pushing the air molecules in the trunk forward, which push the molecules of the back seats forward which pushes the air in the cabin forward. which pushes the fly in the cabin forward. Everything travels at basically the same speed.
Now, if the windows were open, and there was a place where air could escape the back of the car, it would create a bit of a wind tunnel effect in that the air outside would get in and then back out, so the air would be accelerated, and could potentially either fling the fly against the back of the car, or suck it out through the hole where air is escapingm since that will be the direction (the path of least resistance and highest flow) where the air will want to be moving to get out of the pressurized system. And the fly would likely get caught up in the flow.

If the fly has to hit the rear end, something should push it back, possibly the air, but the air inside a closed car is carried away along with the car and its not in motion. so, it cant exert any force on fly, just like the air in a closed room.
If the windows are opened, the outside air rushed in and pushes the fly, then it may hit the rear end for sure !
Hope you got the answer completely and in detail.
Good luck. bye

because the air is contained within the car, therefore when the car moves so does the air in side, and at the exact same rate, thus there is no force acting on the fly. if u open the windows, then thats a different story

because air inside the car is also moving with the car

because everything inside the car is in motion, even the air.

It's moving with the air inside. Neither you will hit the back when you are inside

Because of the inercia of the cars travel.
