'Driverless' Car Was Actually Being Driven By Man Dressed As Car Seat
In Arlington, Virginia, USA, last week, a 'self-driving' car was seen on the roads and created a lot of hype. However, according to The Guardian, the car in question did not appear to have a Lidar array, the imaging technology used in most autonomous vehicles, or a human overseer, which made it very intriguing. As it turns out, this was because the 'driverless' car was actually being driven by a man dressed up in a car seat costume.
The strange case of deception came to light when Adam Tuss, a reporter with NBC Washington, tracked the car down and found that it was actually being driven by a man disguised as a beige and black car seat and holding the steering wheel low.
