I think the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy has a similar concept when an alien visits earth and they attempt to stop and communitcate with a car but just get run over instead.
Ford Prefect - an alien from betelguse who chose then name Ford Prefect as it was "nicely inconsicuos". Douglas Adams later explained in an interview that Ford thought the dominant species on earth were cars. In the shitty film adaptation he is almost run over by a car while trying to greet it.
