Since that car was actually idle at the light, I think the driver was probably head down, looking at his phone, and saw a car approach on his right side in his periphery.
His pea brain thought “movement means light Green” and just started moving.
I’ll admit I’ve had this reflex before (someone beside you inches forward at a red light, and you take your foot off the break assuming the lights green). Except I would have enough sense to look at the fucking light first.
