A few days ago, Tesla because of the brake failure incident, once again on the hot search list, but this time there is also automatic acceleration, and what is frightening is that the accident also occurred on the highway, according to the owner of the car afterwards, at that time, the Model 3 she was driving at high speed, suddenly accelerated without warning, and the speed of the car dried to 170 miles, stepping on the brakes is also useless, until it stopped after 4 cars in a row, one of the Japanese cars that was hit was close to scrapping, but fortunately, There were no casualties.
Judging from some of the driving videos released by the owner, the Model 3 was initially in the leftmost lane, there was a large truck in the right lane, and in front of it was a gray tank 300, at this time the speed of the Model 3 was already extremely fast, because it directly and without hesitation crashed into the front tank 300, the tank 300 was directly hit to the side, turned several times in a row before stopping, and the Model 3 at this time the hood has been raised, but in this case, it is still blind for a distance, It wasn't until after finally hitting multiple cars that it stopped.
Afterwards, Tesla after a variety of data comparison and analysis, and finally ruled that the main reason for the accident is caused by the driver accidentally stepping on the accelerator pedal, after communicating with the owner, the owner also admitted that Tesla's ruling is true, but from the owner's chat records in the car friend group, the owner does not think that the incident is his own reason.
Judging from the above owner's self-statement and chat records, the owner is an old driver with 30 years of driving experience, according to reason and experience, the probability of using the brake as the accelerator is still relatively small, but he has no evidence to prove that his foot is on the brake, so this is really unclear. But shortly thereafter, veteran auto blogger Hanji made his opinion.
From Han Lu's analysis, he believes that the probability of the two fatal problems of brake failure and automatic acceleration occurring at the same time is about equal to 0, that is, the occurrence of this probability is extremely small, but not completely absent.
Then we rationally analyze a wave, the old driver is not absolutely dripping, there will inevitably be a mistake in stepping or misjudging the situation, but it is said that compared with the new driver, in the technology and handling of emergencies to appear more calm, that is to say, the accident does not rule out the possibility of the driver stepping on the wrong step, then on the other hand, the automatic acceleration and brake failure at the same time although the situation is minimal, but it is not nothing, that is to say, the cause of the event may also be caused by the vehicle itself, However, according to Tesla's subsequent communication with the owner, the owner admitted to stepping on the accelerator by mistake, and it seems that the main cause of the accident has been given down.
Write at the end
In fact, to talk about the Tesla brand, there are still a lot of public opinion storms on the back, such as the spontaneous combustion incident in the early stage, and similar to today's brake failure incident, etc., it can be said that it is endless, a relatively large one, last year Tesla owners directly made a fuss about the auto show, and then the end was directly dragged out by the staff. But there is always a puzzling point is that although Tesla's reputation is so bad, but its sales are still strong every month, last month's new energy vehicle sales list in the top 3 and Model 3 domination list, it can be seen that Tesla's bipolar effect is very obvious, that is, scolding people to scold, people to exaggerate!
