“Just a fun project? Yes, but look at the passion and engineering effort that went into it. If a country has to become a giant in automobiles, it needs many such ‘garage’ inventors. Happy driving kids, and I’d like to see the look on the face of the RTO inspector in India, when you drive in to register this,” the business tycoon wrote as he shared the video.

The video was originally posted three years ago on the YouTube channel Mekdev. The description explains that the men started working by making a CAD model of the sofa.

“Steering is made by moving the steering lever left and right. Throttle and braking is done with the two handles at the steering lever,” reads a part of the description about how the vehicle works.
