The same line was invoked by Pakistani journalist Muhammad Aalijah while filming a purported driverless car in Islamabad. Moments later, the vehicle crashed into a police van parked by the roadside, turning the demonstration into an unintended viral moment.
“Pakistan mein talent ki koi kami nahi hai” (“There is no shortage of talent in Pakistan”) is a phrase often heard from politicians, public figures and cricketers discussing the country’s challenges, including poverty, underdevelopment and economic issues.
A video of a purported driverless car demonstration in Pakistan ended in an unexpected crash into a parked police van, sparking memes, jokes and widespread discussion on social media.
Meanwhile, Pakistani journalist Muhammad Aalijah shared the clip and claimed: “The vehicle was operating via satellite and the internet. However, as soon as the internet connection was disconnected during remote operation, the vehicle went out of control and crashed into a police vehicle. He further alleged that the incident occurred in a high-security area with minimal traffic. Under Aalijah’s post, several Pakistani social media users left humorous comments about the incident.
“Everything was fine until a technical fault occurred due to an internet disruption, causing the car to go out of control and crash into a police vehicle,” he said. “This video is not criticism; it is a responsible effort to raise awareness and issue a warning – by all means, experiment, but ensure safety first,” he added.
