This wasn’t the first time such an incident occurred in Bengaluru. A similar story made the rounds recently, where an autorickshaw driver used his smartwatch to display a QR code. A user on X humorously referred to the driver as “Namma Tony Stark” for his tech-savvy approach.
Today I met namma Tony Stark in @nammayatri 🛺
Asked my auto driver for the QR code.
Man flipped his hand and showed me his smartwatch.
Turns out he’s saved the QR code as his smartwatch screensaver.
So much swag 🫡@peakbengaluru pic.twitter.com/ZDvNGOB0zD
