A few days ago, car blogger "Li Mouse Said Car" told Tencent Automobile that the function of Gaohe Automobile, which triggered heated discussion last night, has been officially shut down.
"I tried it again in the morning and found that this function was turned off overnight, and I posted a follow-up video on Weibo, which was turned off very well." According to the introduction of "Li Mouse Says Car", the owner of the car who opens the function needs to enter the "Driving Recorder Settings" to open the "Car-Car Interconnection" function, and when it is turned on, the system will prompt "Are you sure to open the video sharing function?" ”。 In addition, the pop-up dialog box also has the following related risk tips: After sharing, others can see the picture of your driving recorder, do you need to open it?
In today's video demonstration of "Li Mouse Says Car", after opening the "Car-Car Interconnection" function, the owner clicks the shape button of "Vehicle Sends Wifi Outward" in the lower right corner, and cannot see the video list of other car owners. "The entrance to this function is still quite deep, and the average person will not find it." He said that he had seen other riders mention the feature in the group of car friends, and he stumbled upon it when he was bored demonstrating the car during charging.
On the afternoon of May 6, "Li Mouse Says Car" posted a video on Sina Weibo saying that it had discovered that Gaohe Automobile "has a magical function.". The video shows that after turning on the "Connected Vehicles" function, you can see other High-Connive vehicles that have been networked, and through this function, you can see the driving recorder view of all vehicles.
Subsequently, Gaohe Automobile issued a statement saying that the functions mentioned by the user belong to the fleet travel, an integral part of the vehicle-road coordination system, which is turned off by default at the factory, requiring the user to open the function options in the settings after the vehicle is powered on, and to open the pop-up window through the secondary confirmation of privacy terms. This function cannot be activated after the vehicle is powered down and cannot be turned on remotely.
Gaohe Auto pointed out that the "car-car interconnection" function is currently being updated according to the requirements of the latest national laws to provide a better user experience under the premise of strictly abiding by national regulations.
In response to the company's response, "Li Mouse said the car" told Tencent Automobile, "The official said that this is a function of a team, but it is all strangers, I don't know, I don't know the friend in Shandong and Chengdu." But I can see your life, there is a kind of I open the mobile phone app to see your home camera, this thing I think is very scary. ”
"I still don't understand why the team function is like this, I think you can send a location sharing, but you can't show the picture." He said that he would definitely not take the initiative to turn on this function, and he revealed that no matter whether the user himself opened it or not, he could see the live video of other car owners, and the picture presented was only the front view of the vehicle, not including the perspective of the space in the car, and there was no sound.
According to the configuration of the official display, the HiPhi X founding version of the 6-seat version of the model purchased by "Lee Mouse Says Car" has up to 15 cameras.
"I think the car has been collecting my data, and I'd rather drive a car with simpler features now." Will the data leak at all? How will it leak? Will my words be recorded? I really don't know. Li Mouse said that the car told Tencent Automobile that as the owner of the car, there are some concerns about privacy leakage, and it is necessary for the company to shut down this function.
In response to the suspected closure of the function, Tencent Automobile asked Gaohe Automobile for verification, and as of press time, there has been no response for the time being.
