I have defined my helper function in Helper:

module CarsHelper

  def my_helper
    ...
  end

end

But I can neither used it(my_helper) in my CarsController nor in Car model, is it so that the custom helper can only be used in View?

    Helpers are normally for views. But you can include them in your controllers as well. Just add

    helper :cars
    

    to your controller. (docs)

    Models are out of scope for helpers. Use class or instance methods in there instead.
