Would you take an auto-rickshaw ride in California?

The black and yellow auto-rickshaw is ubiquitous in India. A video, now viral, shows the vehicle in the streets of California.

The video has 21k likes and nearly eight lakh plays.

In India, auto-rickshaws are arguably the cheapest mode of public transport. Americans are not used to these vehicles plying on roads.

A video shared by Instagram user @manoharsrawat on April 29, shows a black and yellow auto-rickshaw, similar to the ones we see in India, being driven around a street in California‘s Artesia.

As the video zooms in, the auto-rickshaw drives along the length of the road against a picturesque backdrop.
