The same safety issue Mercedes-Benz chose to recall Tesla but indifferent Netizens: double standard

Recently, some netizens exposed that there are safety hazards in Tesla vehicles, and drivers can run the games on the car at the same time during the driving. This issue has also attracted the attention of the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) and interviewed Tesla.

According to foreign media reports, recently, Mercedes-Benz issued a recall notice in the United States, and the reason for the recall is also because the on-board system may cause driver distraction.

The report pointed out that Mercedes recalled a total of 227 vehicles, and the reason for the recall is due to the safety hazards in some 2021 and 2022 EQS and S-class models, drivers can use the Internet and watch TV programs through the vehicle machine system while the vehicle is driving.

Interestingly, just before Mercedes announced the recall, NHTSA was already investigating Tesla's autopilot assistance system and reviewing the problem that drivers could play games through the car machine system while netizens exposed by netizens.

According to NHTSA guidelines, automakers should design any in-car entertainment device to ensure that drivers cannot use them while driving to avoid driver distraction.

It can be seen that both Tesla and Mercedes in-vehicle systems seem to have the possibility of distracting drivers and do not meet NHTSA guidelines. Mercedes was able to recall at the first time, and Tesla has not yet given a reasonable explanation due to the lack of a public relations department.

The fact that Mercedes was able to make a recall decision so quickly this time must be related to the recall in 2019. At that time, Mercedes was fined 13 million yuan for being too slow to release recall information to customers and failing to report the problem to NHTSA in a timely manner.

In this regard, many netizens have said that the relevant departments are simply double standards, Tesla's related problems have been investigated for so long, and new problems continue to appear, but there has been no conclusion, making people wonder.
