Preface
Hidden door handles in cars become a roadblock to the rescue?
Why are all new energy vehicles now designed with hidden door handles?
Is it for aesthetics, or is it an obstacle in case of danger?

A serious traffic accident in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, has raised concerns about the safety of new energy vehicles. According to reports, on the afternoon of April 26, a black Wenjie M7 was involved in a rear-end collision on the Xia County Expressway, resulting in a fire in the front cabin and three people in the car were unfortunately killed. Video of the accident shows that the vehicle's hidden door handle did not pop out, making it difficult for rescuers to try to rescue through the window.
Originated from the Internet
The families of the deceased took to social media to demand accountability and question why technologies such as automatic emergency braking, which were advertised by the M7, did not work. The incident has raised concerns among consumers about the safety of concealed door handles.
It is understood that almost all new energy vehicles with more than 200,000 yuan use hidden door handles, but major brands and even different models of the same brand have different styles of hidden door handles, which makes consumers face the dilemma of "not opening the door".
Tesla and other car companies said that in extreme cases, if it fails to unlock automatically, external rescue must break the window. However, the fire police pointed out that the hidden door handle did not pop out may have potential safety hazards, and it is necessary to further understand the rescue methods of various car companies.
In this regard, Liu Hao, an independent analyst of automobiles, suggested that industry regulations should be developed for hidden door handles, so that the public can understand how to open doors and rescue. This matter is thought-provoking, and the safety of new energy vehicles needs to be paid attention to and solved by the industry and consumers.
As soon as the topic was posted on the Internet, the comment area instantly exploded! Tens of thousands of comments poured in
Some of these netizens' comments are even more interesting and interesting, let's take a look
Anti-human design, once an accident occurs, there is no way to rescue
What exactly are the benefits of concealed doorknobs?
Hidden door handles are a failed design, and all car companies are the same, and none of them can be changed or omitted when it comes to safety
Even if it is a traditional fuel car, it is not unlocked inside. The outside still can't be opened
This design is really not known to most people, if passers-by rescue, non-car owners who know how to pull
It seems that Xiaomi Auto is quite thoughtful
Editor's opinion
I would like to share some personal thoughts on this accident. First of all, as a fashionable and convenient design, the hidden door handle not only enhances the appearance of the car, but also adds some safety hazards. Video from the accident showed rescuers having difficulty trying to break the window to rescue them, which raised concerns about the safety of the hidden doorknob. Especially in an emergency, if the vehicle's hidden door handle fails to pop out automatically, it may affect the efficiency and timeliness of rescue work, increasing the safety risk of passengers.
Second, I agree with the suggestion of Liu Hao, an independent automotive analyst, to develop industry norms for concealed door handles so that the public can understand how to open doors and perform rescues. This will not only improve consumers' awareness of the safety of new energy vehicles, but also promote the healthy development of the automotive industry.
At the same time, I also hope that automakers will pay more attention to the improvement of safety performance when designing and producing new energy vehicles. Although the popularity of new energy vehicles has brought positive impacts on environmental protection and energy conservation and emission reduction, safety is still one of the important considerations for consumers when choosing a car.
Finally, I would like to express my support and expectation for the local traffic police department to actively investigate this matter, hoping that they can find out the cause of the accident as soon as possible and propose effective solutions to ensure that similar accidents do not happen again. At the same time, I am also glad to have the active cooperation and support of AITO, and I look forward to them providing necessary help and support to their families.
In general, the occurrence of this traffic accident makes us deeply reflect on the safety of new energy vehicles, and also reminds us that we cannot ignore the importance of safety while pursuing fashion and technology. It is hoped that through the joint efforts of the industry and consumers, the safety of new energy vehicles can be solved, and our travel will be safer, more convenient and more comfortable.
