In a bizarre incident, an unmanned e-rickshaw began moving on its own forcing its owner to chase it in the rain.

This incident occurred in northern India’s Rajasthan, in Jaipur city on January 18.

Footage shows an e-rickshaw standing in the street during rain. The e-rickshaw vibrates for a moment, then starts moving on its own and crosses the road quickly. The owner of the e-rickshaw is seen chasing the vehicle while shouting. The e-rickshaw takes a turn on its own when the owner tries to chase it.

If an electrical vehicle starts moving on its own without a driver, it typically indicates a malfunction in the electrical system or wiring issue.
