I don't know for sure but I think it's the current, higher voltage will bridge a bigger gap/higher resistance but a human body doesn't have that high of a resistance and car batteries are capable of providing plenty of current (I think?)

Yes, but to penetrate the top layer of human skin, you need about 60 V DC, or 30 V AC. A car battery is 12 V DC...

Edit: I got the voltages from an old ElectroBoom video and I just remembered them so I know when to use protection when working with electricity and when it's not needed.
