A Chinese ride-hailing passenger whose driver drove at breakneck speeds while on autopilot mode on an expressway at night complained to the platform and only received a 5yuan (RM3) coupon as compensation.

The passenger, surnamed Li, booked a ride on the app HelloRide, which belongs to Alibaba, owner of South China Morning Post, on the evening of April 5 from Foshan to Luoding in southern China’s Guangdong province.
