A self-driving car was reportedly being tested on public roads in Arlington, Virginia, but in reality, it was just some guy driving around in a car seat costume: the discovery was made by News4 reporter Adam Tuss, who approached the vehicle but saw a man’s hands and legs below the wheel. “Brother, who are you? What are you doing? I'm with the news, dude," Tuss said.
From the road, the unmarked gray van eerily looks like it's moving without a driver. The entire front seat looks empty. But when Tuss looked inside, he saw a man wearing a beige and black costume that covered his entire torso. His arms poked out of the bottom of the costume to steer. His face was completely covered, like that of a sports mascot who can see out, but no one can see in. "I looked out and I said, 'Oh my God, there's a guy in a seat costume," Tuss said. "How's that possible? Your brain can't get around it for a second."
