The British company behind taxi-summoning smartphone app Hailo pranked customers by making it appear that a 3-year-old boy was driving a cab.
The video, posted to Hailo’s official YouTube channel, features the toddler sitting on the lap of an actual driver disguised to look like part of the front seat of the taxi.
The reactions from customers ranged from laughter to bewildered concern. Hailo said the prank video was created to celebrate the company’s “3rd birthday.”
“We’ve just turned 3! To celebrate we thought we’d have a little fun with our customers by introducing them to the youngest driver in the world, our very own 3 year old taxi driver,” the video’s description reads.
