Recently, it is reported that Tesla officially sued the creator of a car short video with tens of millions of fans on a platform, and the creator's account nickname is "Xiaogang Xuechang", and the reason for the lawsuit is that the creator is suspected of falsifying when conducting emergency brake tests on Tesla Model 3. According to Uncle Che, Tesla is filing a complaint against it for violating its right to reputation.
Specifically, from April 29 to 30, 2021, Xiao Gang released two videos titled "Emergency Braking - Testing Two Cars (Up and Down)", which tested the Tesla Model 3 and Xiaopeng P7 respectively. The test step is to drive the vehicle in the closed road to the paper fake car and human doll placed in advance, when the speed reaches 50km/h, release the accelerator pedal and do not step on the brake pedal, with the vehicle's automatic emergency braking system for active braking, automatic braking and without collision with the obstacle is considered to be successful.
The test result was that Xiaopeng P7 successfully braked in two tests, and there were still about 90 centimeters away from the paper fake car and about 30 centimeters away from the inflatable dummy after braking. In stark contrast to the Xiaopeng P7, the Tesla Model 3 did not brake in time twice and hit obstacles.
First of all, the test method of Xiao Gang is not standardized, and the test method of AEB's automatic emergency braking function can be found on the C-SCAP website, which clearly states that the model of the fake car must be an inflatable percussible airbag with metal padding inside to simulate the radar reflectivity of the real rear. Secondly, careful netizens found that when Xiaogang elder tested tesla model 3, he was suspected of stepping on the acceleration pedal during the AEB intervention process, and the speed did not drop but rose, which led to the failure of the Tesla Model 3 test, and Xiaogang was also questioned, quite a feeling of wall pushing down. However, the matter has not been settled, and it is not known who is right and who is wrong.
Uncle Che will keep an eye on this matter, and will bring you detailed reports in the future, and everyone can also leave a message to discuss what they think about it.
