We’re going to need some insight from a few physicists and engineers to explain this one to us. That’s because the basic laws of physics and auto engineering suggest that what happens in this video is pretty much impossible.
The owner of this vehicle put their car in neutral while resting on a slight incline. What the car did next makes absolutely no sense.

Okay, we actually know how this happened, and it has nothing to do with mechanics. The phenomenon at play here is the work of something called a “gravity hill.” The roads in these areas actually slope downward, which explains why this car was rolling. The effect is basically just an optical illusion, since surrounding land and landmarks give the appearance of an upward slope.
