Does section 654 of the California Criminal Code apply to carjacking?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Carson, G052129 (Cal. App. 2016):

Also, in People v. Dominguez (1995) 38 Cal.App.4th 410 (Dominguez), the defendant entered a van, put a "cold and metallic object" against the driver's neck, and said, "'"Give me everything you have."'" (Id. at p. 414.) The driver gave the defendant two rings and a chain, and then got out of the van and fled. (Id. at p. 415.) The defendant was convicted of carjacking and robbery, and the prosecutor conceded the applicability of section 654, but the trial court erroneously imposed a concurrent term for the robbery. (Id. at pp. 419-420.)
