A driverless car narrowly missed a woman and a kitten standing outside a jewellery store in southern China.

CCTV footage filmed in the city of Shangrao in Jiangxi Province on October 8 shows a woman sweeping the floor outside a jewellery shop and a kitten playing when a black car suddenly crashed onto the pavement.

The kitten and the woman were seen running away quickly to avoid being hit by the vehicle.

The car then bumped into the wall of the jewellery shop.

According to reports, the motorist was not in the car. After a while, he came to the site with his breakfast.

The man said he parked his car on the roadside and went to get some breakfast on the opposite side of the road.

The man forgot to pull the handbrake causing the incident.

Fortunately, only the shop was damaged, no one was injured.

10月8日上午，江西上饶一沿街商铺的珠宝店刚刚开门营业，店主妻子正在门口打扫卫生，这时，突然一辆黑色轿车从商铺前的台阶上冲了下来，产生的巨大响声引起了店主妻子的注意，回头一看一辆轿车冲向自己，吓得连连后退。最终轿车冲向商铺墙上后停了下来。女子直呼：吓死了，差点撞到我了。但是喊了很久也无人下车，这时周边群众围观，发现车上驾驶室无人，众人懵了。
过了一会，一个白色上衣的男子拎着早点包子赶了过来，也是吓得不轻。表示自己是去对面买早餐，把车子停在路边，哪知道买完早餐以后回来，车子居然“跑了”。
店主表示，店铺门受到了一点点损伤，其他没有什么问题，就是人吓坏了，还好有惊无险，如果伤害到人真的是后果不堪设想。车主稍微给了一点钱，自己也不再追究了，毕竟也不是有意的。（视频由江西台提供）
