Flaming Mini Attempts to Start the Engine on Its Own

This was one of our favorite features.

Since the invention of the automobile in 19th century, mankind has come a long ways. We’ve advanced from the three-wheeled Benz Patent Motorwagen to the exciting hypercars. Mobility is no longer limited to driving.

Self-driving automobiles are the future of the automotive sector. It is difficult to count the number of self-driving concept cars that we have seen over the past decade, not counting the robotic ones that have graced many motor shows around the globe.

This Mini is the most popular. Literally.

The video was uploaded by to Youtube. It showed the red Mini Cooper being consumed in flames in a parking lot. The video submission was taken in a strange setting, since it’s not often that you see a burning car on the side of the road.

It appeared that things were about to get even more bizarre. The car’s self-driving technology became more apparent as the flames grew. The video shows that the Mini started to move independently, moving slowly forward and hitting the car it had parked in front. It was funny that the Mini Cooper appeared to be steering away from the car ahead of it, and getting out of its parking spot.

The innocent car was unfortunately still struck. Perhaps there is something that they need to do with the sensors? Not sure.

One thing is certain, however. It’s very entertaining to see a Mini Cooper make its own moves by burning engines. You shouldn’t do this at home.
