April 23 news, the United States in the United States spokane city of Filtz airport in the United States in the United States in spokane city of Filtz airport accidents with a Tesla Model Y and a private plane in a stopped state.
At the time of the accident, aircraft manufacturer Cirrus was holding an event when a Tesla owner tried to use the "Smart Summon" autopilot feature to summon his car at the event site, only to crash into a private plane with the model Cirrus Vision SF50.
Judging from the video, the Tesla Model Y collided as it passed the tail of the plane, and after the collision, it had no intention of stopping, and pushed the $2 million (about 13 million) private jet forward through the tarmac. During this process, the nose of the aircraft rotates more than 90 degrees.
The crashed cirrus Vision SF50 sold for between $1.76 million and $2.15 million. There is no doubt that this time Tesla owners will pay a considerable price. Fortunately, there were no drivers and passengers in the Tesla at that time, so no one was injured.
It is unclear why the Model Y did not stop when it encountered the plane, but there is speculation that the vehicle's visual cameras at that time may not be able to perceive the aircraft's wings and other parts in the air, so it did not stop.
Some netizens joked that in Tesla's neural network label, there are only common objects on the road such as cars, bicycles and pedestrians, and "the aircraft model may not be in the database."
Tesla's "Smart Call" feature was first introduced in 2019, and vehicles require an optional FSD or EAP software system. After the smart summon command is issued through the app, the vehicle plans its own route out of the parking space and goes to the location where the owner is. When encountering obstacles such as other vehicles or pedestrians, the vehicle will stop or dodge.
However, it should be noted that "smart summoning" is an auxiliary function, and the driver is still the main body responsible for the safe driving of the vehicle. Before using the Smart Summon function, the driver needs to ensure that the environment is safe and monitors the surrounding environment at all times. If an accident occurs during the call, Tesla is not responsible.
In fact, since the launch of the "smart summoning" function, a number of Tesla owners at home and abroad have encountered accidents. Some are because Tesla's cameras can't recognize shorter objects, or some are in direct contact with side walls or surrounding vehicles when leaving the library.
These accidents also remind car owners with Tesla's "smart summon" function that when launching a vehicle call, the vehicle is best within the driver's line of sight and can control the vehicle to stop at any time through the app.
