Overview

• CCTV footage dated August 14 shows the Harrier.ev rolling backward down a sloped driveway with the driver’s door open before a man was struck and later died.
• A relative’s Reddit post alleges a Summon Mode malfunction and mentions prior software issues with the SUV, but those claims remain unverified.
• Tata Motors expressed condolences and said initial impressions suggest the vehicle rolled by gravity and ricocheted after hitting an object, indicating the motor was not active.
• The company says it has not inspected the SUV yet, the vehicle remains with the family and has been driven, and no widely reported formal complaint has been filed.
• The Harrier.ev includes a remote Summon Mode for low-speed forward and reverse maneuvers, and reporting notes such features require human vigilance, especially on slopes.
