I don't know when the expert became a bricklayer. Kochi, once a sought-after authority, is now often seen as a group of bizarre theories that deviate from popular opinion. This is not the recent rise in oil prices, and some people have turned over the magical remarks of some experts in previous years, and every time they look at it, they can laugh at the sound of pigs. One can't help but wonder that these experts themselves don't usually drive. A careful search, these years and cars related to expert remarks and suggestions are really a lot, today we will take stock, everyone has the right to look at it as a joke.
Remark 1: High oil prices can alleviate congestion
The source of this view comes from 2019, when several experts suggested restricting the use of vehicles and solving urban congestion. One of the most quoted is the remarks of Dong Wei, vice president of the Shenzhen Urban Transportation Planning and Design Institute: "For example, to increase the cost of using some vehicles, including parking costs and vehicle fuel costs, through these measures to solve the problem of urban traffic congestion." After the recent rise in oil prices due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, President Dong's views have once again been quoted by the media.
But there are actually several other experts who have similar views. Chen Yanyan, dean of the School of Urban Transportation of Beijing University of Technology, said: "New energy vehicles also have a "contribution" to urban congestion, and other measures should be introduced in time after the cancellation of traffic restrictions and purchase restrictions to reduce the intensity of vehicle use and avoid bringing greater burdens to the city. ”
Cheng Shidong, director of the Urban Transportation Office of the National Development and Reform Commission's Comprehensive Transportation Institute, said: "The use of vehicles is what really affects urban transportation, not ownership. "Therefore, netizens should not just point the spearhead at Dean Dong alone, there may be a large group of experts who have the same point of view."
Remark two: Low oil prices will hurt the development of new energy
In 2018, when oil prices fell and domestic automobile sales fell, experts released such remarks in CCTV financial programs: "Oil prices are too low, which is not conducive to energy innovation."
At that time, domestic new energy vehicles were still in their infancy, and the original words of experts were "long-term enjoyment of this low oil price may bring harm to all areas of the development of the new energy industry, including the research and development of new energy vehicles." "It means that because the price of oil is reduced, everyone will continue to use oil, then no one will buy new energy, which is not conducive to the development of new energy, and it is not conducive to environmental protection."
Last year and the year before the oil price was low, the sales of new energy vehicles repeatedly reached new highs, is it a slap in the face of experts? In fact, it is precisely because of the low oil price that a large number of users will still choose fuel vehicles, which can force new energy vehicle companies to accelerate innovation and development, surpassing fuel vehicles.
Remark three: The gasoline tax should be increased tenfold
Professor Huang Youguang from Fudan University in Shanghai expressed his views on the current consumption tax in 2019, he believes that the current gasoline tax still has a very large room for growth, and this tax is also spaced to increase tenfold and can be implemented.
First of all, he believes that the current fuel tax is relatively low, because the current environmental problems are very serious, and the use of gasoline is very harmful, will produce more polluting gases directly in the air, and there is a certain danger, so the gasoline tax should be raised.
Secondly, the car is the main consumer of gasoline, and the car, whether it is a high-end car or a mid-range car, has a flaunting component when it is used, which is also bad for society, so the cost of the car should be increased and the tax rate should be raised to supplement the loss.
That is to say, to increase the cost of car owners showing off, how do the owners of 30,000 yuan buy Wuling Hongguang feel?
Remark four: Accident cars are safer than new cars
This is from a Tesla lawsuit in 2019. Tesla owner Mr. Han purchased a Model S used car through Tesla China's official website. However, the vehicle began to be repaired many times within two months of driving, and in a certain driving process, the vehicle was suddenly paralyzed, and the electric doors and brakes all failed, almost causing a major traffic accident.
In the end, Mr. Han took Tesla to court. At the scene of the first trial, Tesla's "expert group" once said: "The cut vehicle is safer than the original car."
Do you understand? This is the statement of Tesla 'experts'. In the future, everyone should not buy Tesla's new car, because Tesla's new car is not yet safe for second-hand cars. These experts dare to say anything in order to win a lawsuit.
Remark Five: Bicycles are more polluting than cars
Green travel should obviously be vigorously advocated. But many years ago, the research results released by the dean of the School of Transportation at Southeast University were not agreeable. He proposed: "China's urban environmental pollution is not caused by cars, but by bicycles. Bicycles pollute more than cars."
His research suggests that too many bicycles can block traffic, and the traffic it causes is not smooth, which can slow down the motor vehicle and even enter a state of idleness. Be aware that cars that go into idle speed emit a lot of exhaust gases. Exhaust emissions have increased and urban air pollution has increased. This proves that the main culprit of urban pollution is the bicycle.
Too many autonomous vehicles can indeed cause traffic congestion. But the result is that bicycles are more polluted than cars, and this brain circuit is also too strange. However, the research is said to be sponsored by an automaker. Thinking like this, it also contains infinite meaning.
Remark Six: Electric vehicles are already a burden on society
After the popular trend of bicycles has passed, experts have not forgotten to criticize electric bicycles.
At an online seminar on "Road Safety and Injury Prevention for Electric Bicycles" in 2019, an expert said: "Electric bicycles have become a prominent problem of road traffic safety in the mainland, a social burden that is difficult to ignore, and a veritable 'road killer'." ", the remarks caused a heated discussion on the Internet.
The reason why this expert's remarks have caused criticism from many netizens is that he only sees the shortcomings of electric vehicles, indeed, electric vehicles do occupy a certain proportion of accidents, but the important role of electric vehicles for the people cannot be ignored. For the vast majority of low- and middle-income people, the importance of electric vehicles remains indispensable.
In fact, the number of deaths caused by cars reached 53,288 in 2019, which is 4 times that of electric vehicles.
Remark 7: It is proposed to cancel the highway toll and raise the oil price to "maintain the road"
In 2021, some experts have proposed: raise the oil price to cancel the highway toll, so that the road maintenance can be carried out in disguise, the money for the maintenance of the highway is out, and it can also be judged according to the oil used by each owner to judge the loss caused by his daily driving on the road.
Fuel costs and highway tolls are originally two unrelated things, and administratively they are also two irrelevant departments. But the expert insisted on putting the two pieces together. This also makes many riders angry, especially those who drive taxis, they drive in the city all year round, where is the opportunity to go to the highway, why do they have to pay for the highway toll from the oil price?
Isn't that a complete churning of water?
Remark 8: Traffic jams are a sign of urban prosperity and deserve rejoicing
"I see traffic jams as a sign of a city's prosperity, something to be happy about. If a city is not stuck in traffic, its economy may also wither and decay. This view comes from an article published in Beijing Youth Daily in 2003 by Professor Liu Wei, then president of Peking University.
Dialectically, the precondition for traffic jams is that there are more cars, the income of ordinary people has increased, and more and more people can afford to buy cars. But does this mean that cities prosper?
UN-Habitat's concept of prosperity is made up of a number of factors, including the availability of adequate infrastructure, material assets and equipment; the extent to which social services such as education, health, recreation, safety and security are provided; whether it contributes to economic growth through productivity so that the entire population achieves a full standard of living; the proportion of the poor and inequalities; and the creation and redistribution of prosperity without harming the environment.
Therefore, traffic jams can only prove that people's incomes are rising and the urban transportation infrastructure is imperfect and unreasonable, but as a sign of urban prosperity, it is inevitable to be partial.
Remark nine: Cars are loaded a lot, and they can also do farm work
In the implementation of the new policy for electric vehicles in 2019, the maximum speed of electric bicycles cannot exceed 25 kilometers per hour, which has attracted a lot of controversy. At that time, when an expert was interviewed, he was asked that this restriction should have little impact on urban residents, but the impact on rural households was very serious, because the rural road conditions were not good, the general distance to go out to run errands was also far, the car was too small and inconvenient to bring things, what do you let the farmers do? And the expert said, isn't this just right? Since electric vehicles are not good, they can choose to buy cars, which are safe to load and load, and they can also do farm work.
Using cars to do farm work, I believe that this expert has not only never driven a car, but may not have done farm work in the countryside. And is he also too overestimating the consumption power of our rural residents, although the countryside has now been lifted out of poverty, but it has not yet reached the level that every household can buy a car.
Write at the end:
The more "specialized" experts are, they often do not think about problems from the perspective of the people. We little people can think of things that can be understood, but these experts pretend to be confused. That's why today's experts are always intimidated by the masses. If you have any strange remarks from experts in your mind, you may wish to talk about it as well. Text/Uvision Cars Old Cannon
