I cannot even drink water while driving a straight car.” Another user jokingly said, “How to become rich while driving an auto?”
A user was not sure that this picture is real or generated by AI, and he asked, “I want a firm answer, is it generated by AI?” To which Tanwar replied, “No, Haha, this is not AI.” Seeing the big pit that appeared from the windscreen of the autorickshaw, others also came to know, which increased security related concerns. A user commented, “Yes. It, and a large pit on the road that can break alloy wheels.”
