We know, it sounds like a classic Lada joke back from the time when Star Wars was a fresh concept and the Force was still strong with us, but what you read in the title is true and it occurred outside an AvtoVAZ dealership in Nizhnekamsk, a city in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia.
From the surveillance footage, it appears that the owner of the car activated the remote starter as he was walking towards the white vehicle parked across the showroom.
Who knows what went wrong, but the car came to life, startling the owner and pushing him back before crashing into a demo vehicle!
