A flaming runaway car was filmed evading police as it sped downhill through a residential area in Alicante, Spain.
The driverless car-cum-fireball was reportedly parked by its owner after a dashboard warning light appeared on Sunday morning. Shortly afterwards, it burst into flames. The blaze is believed to have been sparked by an electrical fault, according to the Provincial Fire Brigade of Alicante.

Firefighters were in the middle of tackling the flames when the vehicle began to roll down a hill lined with pedestrians and residents in the town of Cocentaina, in eastern Spain. Handbrake failure is thought to have prompted the car to roll, rather than the fire itself.
Police were filmed running alongside the runaway car as they attempted to stop the vehicle from causing injury or damage as it sped down the street.
Eventually, local cops brought the car to a halt by stopping it with a barrier. Nobody was injured in the incident, however the fence of a home where the car was initially parked did suffer some fire damage.
The geeks have big plans for their computerized, driver-less vehicles, but just like the computer on your desktop, no one seems to be able to get them to function reliably.
Computers are a very fragile technology that only require a small jolt of static electricity to render them useless. They can always sell gadgetry to someone, but when I’m speeding down the highway, I don’t want my life in the hands of a geek’s new gadget.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! RLMAO!!!!!
Couldn’t help thinking that after ordering it to stop, the stupid pigs here would have shot the sh#t outta that car, for failing to comply.
