This kind of image is likely a composite rather than a single exposure. The usual explanation is that different parts of the scene were captured with different settings and then blended in post-processing.

Why no star trails? In a normal long exposure, stars will begin to trail because of Earth’s rotation. To keep stars sharp during a longer astro exposure, photographers often use a polar-aligned equatorial tracking mount, which moves the camera to follow the stars.

So a result like this may combine:

• a tracked exposure for the sky, keeping stars as points
• a separate exposure for the landscape/road and car light trails
• post-processing to merge them cleanly

If you want to make similar images, you’d typically need:

• a sturdy tripod
• a camera and lens suitable for night shooting
• for serious astro work, a polar-aligned equatorial mount
• editing software to blend exposures

In short: sharp stars plus long vehicle trails usually means multiple exposures and/or star tracking, not just one simple long exposure.
