Recently, a Tesla owner broke the news on the Internet that his Tesla automatically accelerated to 170 km / h at the airport highway without any warning, first hit a tank 300, and then chased four cars in a row after the brake failure, fortunately "picked up a life". The owner also stressed that the brakes at that time were very soft and did not react at all.
Tesla said: it has contacted the owner to understand the details, after multi-party comparison and analysis, and the final communication and verification with the owner himself, the incident was caused by the driver mistakenly stepping on the accelerator pedal, and it is currently under the approval of the owner to assist the owner in the vehicle insurance claim process.
After the incident, it once again triggered a big discussion, and the views of netizens were: Why is it Tesla that fails the brakes? Why does the owner mistakenly step on the accelerator pedal every time? And finally through data analysis and comparison, is it really the reason for the owner himself? Doesn't Tesla have a little responsibility?
The safety of intelligent cars has aroused doubts, and they are proud to advocate what active and passive safety functions such as brake assist, active braking, and forward radar detection have no role at all in emergency situations, and cannot play a little protective role, which is useless. If in this accident, Tesla owners have these active and passive safety protections, they will not hit the front car tank 300, let alone crash 4 cars in a row. Such a smart car is a "chicken rib", looking at a lot of functions, selling high prices is also normal, but these functions are useless, or should be used to save life, it has lost its efficacy.
The owner mistakenly put the "throttle as a brake" brake failure incident has occurred more than one, here to remind everyone, driving on the road needs to be cautious, especially to drive a smart car, to be fully familiar with the use of active and passive safety functions, as well as the sudden hair after the vehicle intervention, encounter unexpected situations, the mind must be calm, the correct operation of the vehicle.
Written in the end: the new forces of car manufacturing as the vanguard of smart cars, as well as pioneers, to bring consumers an unprecedented new travel experience, consumers are also willing to try this new thing, especially young consumers, vehicles are more than beyond the scope of travel tools, but all smart cars must be built on the premise of "safety first", otherwise it is not worth the loss.
