Domestic Tesla is not equipped with knee airbags, and the LVCC Loop underground tunnel has been badly evaluated

In addition to adapting to the era of automatic driving and intelligent technology, safety performance is also a problem that many car companies need to focus on, after all, people's attention to safety has only increased.

Recently, some car owners released videos on the Internet platform saying that according to the Tesla crash test videos and other information he obtained, overseas versions of Tesla are equipped with knee airbags.

It is reported that the original intention of LVCC is to transfer from above-ground roads to underground closed tunnels for "point-to-point driving" to improve traffic efficiency. However, the maximum driving speed of the test run in May last year was only about 64 km/ h, which was far lower than the previously advertised 250 km/h, and it was not a good automatic driving, and it was necessary to hire a driver, which disappointed the experiencers.

In addition, some netizens reported that the road in the tunnel is too narrow, and there is no emergency lane, once a car fails, it will be very dangerous.
