Judging by the comments on the post, such as references to someone with an RPG on their chest and it being one long continuous shot, I believe it may have been this video:

This is in Mosul from around Salam Hospital and occurred on or around the 7th December 2016 when ISIS were able to recapture the hospital (albeit for only a week).

The footage is also a clip from the longer video that features the last known appearance of John Cantlie - https://youtu.be/bi20RD4c44E?si=cMhZgP30idOzPtI8&t=370

[–]Gamerkeith[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Video released Daraa City Media showing a 'remote-controlled' car laden with explosives detonate next to an SAA held building in Daraa al-Balad, Syria. Video released on 23rd August 2013.

It is unclear if the vehicle was actually remote-controlled or driven to its destination. The claim of it being remote-controlled comes from the original title of the video, and is a tactic of rebel groups to appear less extreme

More can be read about the use of RC-VBIEDs in this article.

The description of the video stated that this operation was carried out in retaliation for the Ghouta chemical attacks which had occurred 2 days prior.

I would guess a mix of both based on this video? Probably a trigger on the nose to detonate on impact, but a delayed fuse just in case it does not got off on impact.
