That is not applicable to modern cars.

Infact it's better to start driving immediately u start the. car

Modern car way get injectors and ECUs. you dey waste time warming them up in the morning

HenryWilliams:
Warming up the engine in a modern day car isn't mandatory. However on a very cold night , it doesn't hurt to allow the engine reach operating temperature before driving. All in all, warming or no warming it doesn't remove anything from the engine.

It’s like waking of from sleep, and you are asked to get to do a hard day’s job. You will breakdown!

You need to put on your car for atleast 5-10 mins for the oil to circulate properly for easy transmission.

1. Manual cars
Taking advantage of hilly terrain
As its name has said it all, this method requires a hilly terrain on which we push our vehicle with the help of others (and of course, push down the hill, not vice versa).

When you make sure to have sufficient assistance from others, get behind the wheel, get your vehicle in gear and try to maintain a speed of 5 mph down the hill. While doing this, loosen your brake, release the handbrake at the same time and press the clutch for the vehicle to roll. Next, turn the key in the ignition while still keeping the clutch depressed.

In case the car remains inactive, use the clutch to get down to the second gear, then press on the accelerator while the key is turning in the ignition. This method will definitely work, believe me!

Using the battery charger
This method comes handy for those cars whose battery is dead on a plain terrain. All you need to do is find an AC plug to replenish your battery for some hours by attaching the charger to it (yes, you heard it, some hours, so if time is not for you, this is not advisable).

Using solar charger
You can also make use of the solar energy to start your engine by lay your solar panel on the car's dashboard. Next, plug the panel into the car's lighter point. Doing this, you’re charging the dead battery, so you can start your engine again.

2. Automatic car
To start an automatic car, the only one feasible practice that is pretty similar to the manual one is, taking advantage of the inclined terrain. And, all you need to do is also to copy steps you should do in a manual vehicle.

EbukaIam:
I think yes

KINGKONG:
What about oil circulation? How many modern car owners uses synthetic oil?

What about the weather condition? Especially during this harmattan season

KingRabota:
Your so called modern vehicles do need warming.
When you turn your key into the Accessories position wait a few seconds for the vehicle to do a self diagnostic check. This usually comes in the form 3 pings or beeps , once that's done you now start the vehicle.
Once started , notice the engine will rev itself in my vehicle if you look at the Tachometer you'll see the engine speed indicator showing 2500- 3000 rev/minute.
After a minute or two the engine speed will gradually reduce until it rests stably at 1000 rev/ minute.
This is the point at which you can drive off.



So the answer to your question is Yes.

Just that in most cases you should " allow " your vehicle to do the honors. Don't just start your and drive off, permit your onboard car computer to self diagnose and warm-up the car for you.

If u are driving an automatic car it is not necessary, the era of warming a car before driving off has fade away with manual cars. Unless u are still driving 504 and man disel truck
