New Delhi: Many e-rickshaw drivers operating across Delhi's busy Metro corridors say they are living in fear after a smartphone application allegedly began shutting down their vehicles in the middle of the road without warning, leaving them stranded amid speeding traffic and exposing passengers to the risk of serious accidents.
Safety concerns have emerged after videos circulated on social media purportedly showed people using a Chinese Bluetooth-enabled battery management application to remotely switch off compatible lithium-ion battery-powered e-rickshaws.
