C array with multiple object-CodePudding

This is my code for input list vehicle (can Car or Truck). But it's not work and error: no match for 'operator=' (operand types are 'Vehicle' and 'Car*'). How I can input vehicle (can Car or Truck) for true?

class Vehicle {};
class Car : public Vehicle {};
class Truck : public Vehicle {};

class ListVehicle {
  Vehicle *pVehicle;
  int n;

 public:
  void input() {
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i  ) {
      int type;
      cout << "Enter vehicle type (1: car, 2: truck): ";
      cin >> type;
      cin.ignore();
      switch (type) {
        case 1: {
          pVehicle[i] = new Car();
          break;
        }
        case 2: {
          pVehicle[i] = new Truck();
          break;
        }
        default:
          cout << "Invalid type" << endl;
          break;
      }
    }
  }
};

Perhaps you meant to do:

std::array<Vehicle *, 50> pVehicle;

Which would ensure that pVehicle[i] was a pointer.

Here is my workaround

    list<Vehicle *> vehicles;
    case 1:
    {
        Car *car = new Car();
        car->input();
        vehicles.push_back(car);
        break;
    }
    case 2:
    {
        Truck *truck = new Truck();
        truck->input();
        vehicles.push_back(truck);
        break;
    }
