Move vehicle without possessing

Hi, I am trying to get a vehicle to accept inputs without possessing it. Basically I have a button I press that fires a custom event in the vehicle i want to move that sets its thottle.

Now this button works and remotely fires off the vehicles custom event and displays my debug text, but it does not move. However if I possess the vehicle it works. I don’t want to do this as I want to press this button from anywhere without possessing the vehicle, also I am using the VR room scale level and the change in camera moves me away from my hands and proper height.

Is there some setting I can apply to this, for example a dumb AI for the car that waits for an input, or am I thinking about this all wrong?

TL;DR Cannot send instruction to vehicle to move unless is is possessed.

Thanks

Using an AI without any code worked.
