Netizen: Who is responsible for the accident? Tesla has long given the answer
In March 2021, according to the Central Broadcasting Network, a consumer reported to the Voice of China that when he first used the "smart summon" function of a newly purchased Tesla car to pick up the car, the driverless car collided with an adjacent vehicle when it left the parking space, causing losses. In this regard, the company's sales staff said that the car-related system is not faulty, and the loss caused by the owner's use of this function should be borne by the owner himself. So, if the car is in an unmanned state, who should bear the responsibility?

According to the introduction of Tesla's official website, smart summoning means that in the appropriate scenario, the vehicle parked in the parking space will respond to the owner's call, drive out of the parking space and go to the location where the owner is. In simple terms, after installing the "smart summoning" function, as long as the owner presses a button on the mobile phone APP, the vehicle will enter the driverless state and automatically drive to the owner's side.

"I stood 20 meters away from it, kept looking at it, my hand kept pressing the operation button, the vehicle was automatically looking for directions, automatically hitting the direction, about a dozen, and when I saw it last, it crashed into the car." Logically, it should be able to sense the vehicle next to it, but it directly hit the car next to it. ”
Afterwards, the owner of the vehicle sent the vehicle to the Tesla service center, and The staff member Mr. Li said that after testing, the intelligent summoning function of the vehicle had no related faults.
Does the insurance company make a claim for this problem? Insurance companies also disagree.
Claims Adjuster 1: First of all, the vehicle must be artificially controlled, you are the controller, equivalent to the driver. This particular case is within the scope of normal claims.
Claims Adjuster 2: This belongs to the remote control, unmanned state, belongs to the exemption situation, and does not belong to the scope of responsibility. Unless you drive the car in the car yourself and cause injury, you will be liable.
In this regard, Gu Dasong, executive director of the Traffic Law and Development Research Center of Southeast University, believes that for unmanned driving, it is first necessary to clearly define and ensure the safety and reliability of driverless cars from the source. At the same time, it is necessary to formulate relevant industry standards and specifications, product licensing and quality management laws and regulations.
Gu Dasong said that the current unmanned driving is essentially a means of assisting the driver to drive, and the ultimate responsible person should be the driver, and the driver should be prepared to intervene or terminate in time. He said: "All the car dealers will explain the instructions given to the driver that you have to use the function of intelligent assistance under control, in fact, the final characterization is still intelligent assisted driving." The ultimate control, judgment, and who will take over are all left to the driver. Judging from this point of view, the driver's commercial insurance should be covered. Even if the person is not in control, it is considered that the owner of the car is the driver to deal with such problems. ”
