Grammar
No .... and ....
Ex.
There are a few differences like no parallel parking and highway driving.
There are a few differences like no extra input cords and upgrade slots.
Q:
Does the "NO" apply also to the content that follows "and"? (meaning no parallel parking and NO highway driving and no extra iput cords and NO upgrade slots).
Or does it only apply when "OR" is used instead of "and"?
What is the term that describes the rule (if no applies to both)?
Thanks in advance.

I disagree.
The sentence is about explaining the differences. The sentence follows in a context of a discussion about driving tests.
For your information, it can be written in the form you mentioned: There are a few differences like no parallel parking and highway driving between the Class X test and the Class Y test.
And I have seen such usage a number of times. This
