Muhammad Aalijah said the car was controlled remotely over the internet and a sudden loss of connection caused it to go out of control. [^4]

Muhammad Aalijah stated that he was asked by technology enthusiast Ehsan Zafar of Abbottabad to report on his tech-based automated-driving innovation. [^5]

Journalist Muhamed Alidza recorded the incident from the passenger seat while reporting on the new system developed by local engineer Ehsan Zafar. [^6]

Muhamed Alidza warned that the signal loss could have caused a tragedy if the vehicle had been on a busy street and appealed to developers not to expose unfinished technology to public roads. [^7]

The vehicle's steering wheel began turning on its own immediately after the internet and satellite signals were cut off during the drive through a quiet urban zone. [^8]
