As the car moves around the roundabout at a constant speed of 10 meters per second, the characteristic that remains constant is speed.

In a roundabout, although the car's direction is continuously changing, which means its velocity (which includes both speed and direction) is not constant, the speed remains at the specified value.

Therefore, the correct answer is speed.
