There are tens of millions of traffic accidents, most of which are caused by human causes, such as fatigue driving, distracted driving, etc., but after entering the era of new energy intelligence, there are more and more traffic accidents caused by the high-end intelligent driving assistance functions of automobiles.
On April 15th, a Wenjie M9 drove on the highway and suddenly crashed into the middle guardrail, in the video, the Wenjie M9 drove normally, and there was obvious dodging when encountering a large truck, and then the vehicle suddenly seemed to be out of control, and directly crashed into the middle guardrail of the highway, which scared the vehicles behind.
Soon, some netizens analyzed the video, and the owner turned on the high-end intelligent driving function, and it should be that the high-end intelligent driving function was lifted by manually turning the steering wheel, and he did not take over the vehicle in time.
Subsequently, AITO's customers also responded, and it was preliminarily determined that the display of various functions of the vehicle was normal during the accident, and the user misoperated the steering wheel and caused the intelligent driving to exit. The detailed cause of the accident is still under investigation, please refer to the official announcement of the investigation results.
After the traffic accident in the M9, it once again sparked a big discussion among netizens, and now car companies are vigorously recommending high-end intelligent driving assistance functions, which is also the biggest selling point of new energy vehicles, but is this selling point really safe?
Let me say what I think:
First of all, although the high-end intelligent driving assistance function is theoretically safer than human operation, but in a special environment, too dependent on the high-end intelligent driving function, safety can not be guaranteed 100%, the cause of the accident is the best evidence, the driver misoperates, the high-end intelligent driving assistance function fails, and traffic accidents will occur.
Secondly, the high-end intelligent driving assistance function is still assisted, and cannot replace labor, car companies have the obligation to inform users, users have the obligation to learn, and it is best to set up test thresholds, but often new cars are listed, car companies will only magnify the highlights, and ignore the drawbacks, which is the root cause of traffic accidents.
Third, once again, I would like to advise those users who completely hand over their safety to high-level intelligent driving assistance functions in order to save worry, and have only one life, so do you need to master it yourself? Or do you want to hand over your life to the machine, or who do you trust more?
To sum up: Wenjie M9 crashed into the guardrail at high speed, once again sounding the alarm for car companies and users, car companies should guide users how to safely use high-end intelligent driving assistance functions, and users should use high-level intelligent driving assistance functions according to the rules for their lives, so as to avoid the recurrence of traffic accidents.
