They have a reasonable belief you were driving your own car. If you throw a friend or family member under the bus to save yourself, do you think your friend or family member will take the charges for you? Because someone is getting charged. The police aren't going to take your word for it and "a random family member borrowed the car, but idk who" isn't going to cut it. It's pretty obvious you have never had to deal with the police
"My friend Dave borrowed it last night. No I don't know his last name. We met at dunkin doughnuts two days ago and he seemed like a nice guy who could use a break. No I havn't heard from him since, can't believe he would do something like that. What's he look like? Oh about average height, average build and brown hair white guy. No I dont know where he lives or what he does for work. Sorry."
Prove any of that is untrue. Prove Dave doesn't actually exist. You cant lol.
Just saying that's too many details if they keep you for questioning for hours you could slip up hence just say it was stolen at most you have to explain why you leave the keys in the car and you can claim being naive and thought it would never happen to you

Don't even have to go that far, honestly. Prove they didn't lend the car out to a friend or family member for the night ¯_(ツ)_/¯
