If there is no enemy on the map, it will spawn as empty.

Clarifying the above, you either need to use createCenter to create a side, or place a unit of the desired side on the map, otherwise the vehicle spawns empty.

If the inputted side's center hasn't already been created, the vehicle will spawn empty.
