Volvo Made a Remote Control Dump Truck then Gave the Controls to a 4-Year Old

Volvo wants to prove that its heavy-duty FMX dump truck is tough, so they turned over the controls to a child. 

In the latest video in the “Live Test” series, Volvo rigs up its 18-ton Volvo FMX with a remote control driving rig and then turns control over to four-year old Sophie.

Of course, chaos ensures, as Sophie pilots the beast through a house, crashes through a brick wall and even rolls it, though thanks to some editing magic the truck lands back on its wheels.
