A man says he was ''kidnapped'' by his own runaway electric car - forcing him to dodge red lights and roundabouts and call police to ram it off the road.
Brian called the police who were forced to forcibly stop the runaway car by allowing it to slowly crash into their police van. "I managed to get around the roundabout going at about 30mph, and then had a long road ahead of me, so I assumed it would stop without me accelerating - but it didn't. After realising that he would soon have to navigate traffic lights and several roundabouts, and worried about crashing into pedestrians and pub-goers headed home, he eventually called 999."When I dialled 999, they sent police to help and put some engineers on the line to try and solve the problem, and they were asking if it was a self-driving car.
Brian said:"After trying to shut the car down, my entire dashboard lit up with faults, and then it all went away after a second and just had a big red car symbol that said 'drive safely, stop driving immediately' or something.
