With all those crash videos coming from Russia.
I'm not surprised that there are ghost cars.

I don't think it is edited, but I think it is just the angle and glare that makes it look like the car just appears from the camera's point of view. You can see the car to the right making the left turn with the BMW hits his brakes and slows down for the supposed ghost car before the BMW brakes and before the supposed ghost car appears. Obviously the other car see's the supposed ghost car before it comes into camera view. I think the car just ran the red light.

Dash cams seem the norm over there.

You can see reflections of the BMW's headlights on the "ghost" car, so at least it should be material, and it cast a shadow on the road too

Dash cams are mandated by insurance companies in Russia

This blew up my FB page also. Most likely a media effect student's project.
