In a playful twist to AI-generated creativity, a Bengaluru techie has gone viral with his unusual but hilarious idea, an autorickshaw racing game filled with potholes, traffic, and street dogs. The quirky concept, shared online, has quickly struck a chord with netizens who say it perfectly mirrors the chaos of Indian roads.
The Idea That Started It All
Harin Nitisvaar, the brain behind the project, posted a snippet of the game on X with the caption: “These AI tools are addictive. Just generated this auto racing concept. If this were a real game, would you play it?” He even shared the Veo3 prompt he used, encouraging others to experiment.
Viral Boost From Tech Creator
The idea gained traction when Canadian expat and YouTube creator Caleb Friesen showcased it on his show RuntimeBRT. Taking the concept further, Friesen recreated it in first-person mode, marveling at how the AI-generated visuals even had “accurate reflections in the side mirrors.”
What Makes It Unique?
Nicknamed “Grand Theft Autorickshaw”, the concept swaps sleek racing circuits for the bumpy streets of India. Players must weave through cars, dodge barricades, and swerve past potholes while avoiding a street dog or two.
Internet Reacts With Humor
Users flooded the post with witty takes. One wrote, “This is the only place where rickshaw is not stuck in two-hour traffic.” Another joked that being chased by a street dog would add an “adrenaline rush.”
Though just an AI experiment, the autorickshaw racing game has already captured imaginations worldwide. With its mix of humor, relatability, and creativity, many believe “Grand Theft Autorickshaw” could become a real cult favorite if ever developed.
