I think it runs on a rail - my guess is the red line hides a track that the machine follows.

The red line is pavement. But it looks like there's a bit of very narrow gauge track that the car actually runs on to the left

This is a self driving tram provided by the Korean Railroad Research Institute to this research project. As so often, these “autonomous” vehicles merely follow a special trail that is embedded in the tarmac, often with an indicator colour on top. The rail-ish thing you mentioned is just too far away from the vehicle, and there’s only one.
So only one question remains: is it a car? Maybe.

isn't it the same thing as a car but it just uses magnets rather than paint for road markings
