A remote-controlled car crashed into a police van in Islamabad, reportedly due to a technical fault caused by an internet disruption.
Journalist Muhammad Aalijah uploaded a video on his social media account showing the incident, which has since gone viral on social media.
The car, controlled remotely over the internet, went out of control when the internet connection was lost, leading to the crash.
Aalijah explained that the car was being operated in a high-security area with very little traffic, and that the incident could have been much more dangerous if it had occurred on a busy road.
The journalist stated that his intention in making the video was to raise awareness and caution people about the safety of new technologies.
Aalijah said, 'The vehicle was being operated through satellite and internet connections, but during external control, it went out of control as soon as the internet connection was disconnected and collided with a police vehicle.'
He added, 'This was a message of caution, not an attempt to discredit anyone.'
Aalijah emphasized that the car’s system was not yet completely safe and reliable, and that the incident highlighted the importance of thorough testing before new technologies are widely used.
The incident serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with emerging technologies and the need for caution and thorough testing.
