The recent events are linked together with a bit of a creepy flavor.
A few days ago, a car owner in Shanghai did not start his car for forty days, when he came to the underground garage to start the car, the vehicle was shaking wildly, suspected of making a strange cry. The owner of the car is estimated to be frightened not lightly, and this online video is on the hot search. Everyone says that people are not crazy, cars are crazy. Knowledgeable people said that this is because the car has not been driven for too long, the battery is out of power, and the start cannot be fired, so the vehicle issued such a "crazy" performance. The so-called "strange call", that is a kind of onomatopoeia, when people are depressed for a long time, the mood is not good, hearing this sound, natural imagination, resulting in extremely uncomfortable feelings. There are also netizens who see that this car is BMW, immediately the mood is very happy, my car does not open for two months, all start normally, BMW is really not worrying.
There are many more reasons for vehicle shaking. In order to shoot a short video, a foreign owner added Coke (another BMW) to the fuel tank of the BMW vehicle, and after starting the car, the car actually began to move forward, but after a few minutes, an embarrassing scene appeared, gasoline and Coke reacted, and the car finally stopped. The results of the car being sent to the workshop showed that it would cost at least $1,000 to clean the oil pumps, etc. The vehicle is filled with inferior gasoline, and the engine will also shake, otherwise why would some vehicles limit a certain type of gasoline. These are all man-made mechanical failures.
In order to shoot short videos, they operate very noisily
This matter ended when the joke ended, and another female owner in Chengdu really felt the fear.
On April 27, Ms. Zheng, the owner of Chengdu Tesla, found that her car screen repeatedly turned on the air conditioning panel and turned off, automatically opened the Himalaya or QQ music App to play audio, automatically opened the map and other phenomena, and the screen often failed and could not be operated. At 9:30 p.m., Ms. Zheng drove her daughter back to the residential area and parked the car in the parking space of the underground parking garage. Because I suspected that there was a problem with my own vehicle control system, I restarted the program under the guidance of customer service, who knew that the system pushed a Himalayan horror novel, and a desolate female voice appeared in the audiobook, "I died so unjustly."
In the dead of night, in the underground garage, there is a sudden sound of horror in the car, which has constituted all the elements of a horror movie. The daughter in the car was not lightly frightened, and Ms. Zheng could only abandon the car and take her daughter back home. Subsequently, Tesla admitted that there was a problem with the on-board screen and replaced the screen during the warranty period. Himalaya also said that it will optimize the push together and will not recommend content that users are not interested in.
Electric vehicles, also known as smart cars, rely on network intelligence control for their operating systems. More and more tech companies are flocking to the smart electric car space, joining the race to make more automated and smarter cars. The difficulty of electric vehicle manufacturing lies in the vehicle operating system, many car companies are developing their own on-board application systems, which is why some companies that do mobile phones and application software can cross-border car manufacturing, because they have advantages in the field of system development. Major traditional car companies are developing their own exclusive electric platforms. For example, Volkswagen MEB platform, Audi, Porsche PPE platform, Mercedes-Benz EVA platform, BMW fifth generation platform, general BEV3 platform, Nissan Leaf and so on. With the birth of these platforms, the gap between the system architecture of traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles is narrowing.
The mid-screen of smart cars carries more and more applications
In a word, today's cars, including electric vehicles, are becoming more and more intelligent, more and more network applications are connected, and car owners enjoy convenience at the same time, which means facing network security considerations. What ms. Zheng, the owner of the Chengdu Terrass, is worried about is whether the operating system has been hacked by hackers and deliberately made a prank to scare people, which has precedents to follow. How scary is it if the vehicle is hacked while driving and takes control of the operating system? This is an unpredictable disaster.
Many people like Tesla's simplicity because it is not simple, basically all the operating systems are concentrated on the central control screen. I have a Tesla owner friend who looks at the black screen relatively lightly. He said that the central control screen sometimes black screen, soon reboot becomes better, he did not panic, just like many people have smart phones, mobile phones will also be stuck, restart just fine. But if the car has a black screen in the middle of driving, you don't know why, will it be black for a few minutes, won't this make people panic?
The movie "Transformers" has such a scene, when the intruder enters the car operating system, every car in the city becomes a tool in his hand, driven by people, even if someone is driving, it is like a headless fly, and more cars become zombie cars, falling from a high place and stacking into an arhat. The entire city was paralyzed and turned into hell. Nowadays, it seems that this is not a film script creation, and it is entirely possible that such a disaster will appear on some smart cars.
Tesla, as a relatively intelligent car, has never lacked topics, it has changed the user's driving habits, such as increasing kinetic energy recovery, and novices need to adapt to the operation of the pedal. At this time, many people thought that Tesla could not brake the car. Recently, a Tesla owner in Beijing had a rear-end accident on the Beijing Airport No. 2 Expressway, and the vehicle was seriously damaged and stopped after hitting 4 cars in a row. Tesla retrieved the background data for verification, which showed that the driver avoided the truck in front of him and turned the steering wheel to the left, and slammed the acceleration pedal sharply during the steering, causing the speed of the car to rise and eventually leading to the collision, and the driver did not step on the brake pedal before the collision. The parties do not approve. This explanation is the same as the public opinion response process of Tesla's brake failure, the user feels that the brake fails, tesla will think that the user's operation is wrong. And the real background data is in the hands of Tesla, and Tesla has the final say.
This does not prevent everyone from buying a Tesla. Tesla will basically tell users that there is no problem with our vehicle, and the system will not have a problem. When Tesla was once roasted by public opinion, the head of the public relations department proposed to train car owners, including teaching car owners how to correctly step on the brakes...
Can the appearance of horror novels in Tesla ensure that they do not appear during the driving process?
Let's not say it, but let's hope it's accidental.
Another incident, on May 1, a "dead" elderly man in a welfare home in Shanghai was taken to a funeral home and found that he still had vital signs. At present, the elderly have been transferred to the hospital for treatment, and the vital signs are stabilizing. The welfare home was also not a pheasant institution, and a living person was transported to a funeral home as a dead person, almost killing people. Thinking about the whole thing, unbelievable, always chilling, always making people feel bad.
People do the wrong thing, correct the mistake, the system is wrong, what to do? Tesla's magical event actually informs users that as long as it is connected to the network, the system may go wrong, and some terrorist incidents will still occur.
