This auto runs without a driver!

Thrissur (Kerala): Can an auto-rickshaw ever come close to a limousine?

Here's a story of a remote controlled three-wheeler with some features of a limo, unbelievable as it may sound.

Wave and it'll halt before you, just like any other auto rickshaw, anywhere in the country.

Only this auto-rickshaw does not need a driver. It has been designed by K N Ragesh, a mechanical engineer in Thrissur, Kerala and is a unique remote controlled device.

"It has been five years since I bought and modified this auto-rickshaw. Many modifications have been made in it. It can be run with passengers on-board for a small distance," says Ragesh.

Ragesh's three-wheeler now almost resembles a limousine, with a television and DVD player and volvo style reclining seats.

There is also a central locking system and a three-step safety alarm. So, if you're ever in Thrissur, make sure to hop in, and take the joyride.
