As the car moves around the roundabout at a constant speed of 10 meters per second, the characteristic that remains constant for the car is **speed**.
Although the car's velocity (which includes both speed and direction) and direction are changing as it moves around the circular path, the speed itself remains constant at 10 meters per second.
So the correct answer is: **speed**.
