A few days ago, a video of a rear-end accident that occurred on an elevated highway in Shanghai uploaded by netizens caused heated discussion. It is reported that on the elevated road, a red Tesla Model 3, too late to brake hit the green brand BYD in front.
Because the speed is fast, and the Tesla front is low, the rear of the BYD SUV has a higher space off the ground, so tesla drilled into the bottom of the bydir in front of the BYD.
Such an exaggerated rear-end accident is really rare, and at the same time, the chassis structure of this green BYD is unobstructed, and the blade battery and the rear axle drive motor are exposed together.
According to the owner's description, the airbags of both vehicles were not opened. It can be seen that the Tesla Model 3 A pillar is intact, and the damage comes from the front cabin cover. The BYD exhaust cylinder is damaged, as for the drive motor, whether it is damaged is not known.
Regarding the cause of the accident, some netizens have reported that tesla owners have enabled AP assisted driving, but they have not yet been confirmed by the owner and the official.
In addition, recently many places have ushered in rain and snow weather, the road surface is icy and slippery, the braking distance of the vehicle will even increase by 3 or 4 times compared with usual, when driving, the distance with the car should be expanded synchronously to avoid rear-end accidents.
At the same time, the vehicle has a side slip situation, do not step on the brakes, which will only aggravate the degree of skidding, you should control the direction, avoid hitting the direction at a large angle, and then lightly step on the brakes, so that the wheels gradually recover grip. However, the safest way is to conditionally change the vehicle with snow tires, or add snow chains.
