A tragic accident in Tamil Nadu involving a Tata Harrier EV has resulted in a fatality. The incident, captured in a viral video, shows the electric vehicle potentially malfunctioning or operating in summon mode when it struck a pedestrian attempting to enter the vehicle. The victim later succumbed to a severe head injury. The summon mode enables the car to move independently at slow speeds without direct driver control. The accident’s cause remains uncertain, with investigations seeking to determine if it was due to a technical issue with the vehicle or user error. Tata has not yet provided an official response to the reported incident. The Harrier EV features advanced driver-assist systems and convenience functions, including summon. CCTV footage suggests the hazard lights were activated before the vehicle moved, possibly indicating the engagement of summon mode. The incident has triggered debate about the safety implications of semi-autonomous driving features within the specific driving environment of India.
