A speeding driverless car, with a brick weighing down the accelerator, has smashed into other park vehicles in Christchurch and has residents fearing someone could be seriously hurt if it happens again.

In two separate incidents stolen empty cars were found crashed in the city yesterday morning. One that had a brick holding down the accelerator, crashed into parked cars in Mount Pleasant, shortly after the first incident.

Waikura Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board chairperson, Alexandra Davids says it's a big worry for the community.
