Ola Cabs CEO Bhavish Aggarwal on Monday, April 1, introduced Ola Solo terming it "the world's first autonomous electric scooter". While Ola Electric released a full video and a website detailing features of Ola Solo, netizens went on to claim that it is nothing but April Fools' Day prank.

"1:30 mei 3rd tyre edit karna bhul gaye (sic)," one person commented below Ola Solo video on YouTube. April Fools' Day Prank?
