A video of a ride-hailing service driver speeding on a night highway in autopilot mode has sparked controversy.

A female consumer who used the service complained to the platform, but the reward for returning was a coupon worth only 5 yuan (about 1,000 won).

According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, on the 5th, Mr. Li paid 270 yuan (about 53,000 won) to travel from Foshan, Guangdong Province, China to Luo Ding and used a ride-hailing service.




The travel distance is 180km, and it usually takes about two hours by car.

However, the driver started driving on the highway at 120 to 130 kilometers per hour even at night.

It was an autopilot mode, not a direct drive.




Mr. Li, who filmed it, said "The car drove into the passing lane the whole time, and the driver even looked sleepy."."

On board alone, she was unable to complain to the male driver and had to watch the road all the way on behalf of the driver, trembling with anxiety.

She later complained to the ride-hailing platform and also reported to the police. In this regard, the platform warned the driver and provided a 5 yuan coupon to the passenger, Lee.




Mr. Li said "I was looking at my phone with my hands off the steering wheel the whole time the driver was on his way"It was a scary experience, and I'm lucky to be alive."

Netizens who watched the video should have said `Lee should have stopped him. If an accident occurs while driving at 130km/h, it can be fatal", "You shouldn't rely too much on autopilot mode in your car", "5 yuan coupon rewards are you kidding me?" They are posting critical comments such as.

Meanwhile, China's road traffic laws prohibit dangerous behaviors, such as using a mobile phone or watching TV in the driver's seat.
