A Wenjie M7 PLUS model in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province was involved in a serious traffic accident. Due to the rear-end collision of the maintenance vehicle, the vehicle was seriously damaged, and at the same time, three people lost their precious lives. I have to say that this is sad news.
The M7 collided and caught fire
After the incident, a response was made to this serious and unfortunate traffic accident. Regarding the question of why the intelligent driving system did not play a role, the question said that the vehicle involved was not equipped with Huawei's high-end intelligent driving system, but was equipped with a Bosch solution, and the speed of the vehicle at the time of the accident had exceeded the speed range that AEB could play a role.
Subsequently, however, Bosch made a clear denial of this. According to a statement released by Bosch, the vehicles involved, including AEB, were not equipped with Bosch intelligent driving systems.
It should be said that this is one of the doubts about this incident. After all, as the brand owner of the vehicle involved, Wenjie should not be mistaken about the configuration of the vehicle involved.
Whether Bosch used its own intelligent driving solution for the vehicles involved
As one of the world's leading suppliers of automotive technology, Bosch will not easily deny the equipment installed in its vehicles. So, who's wrong? I think it's worth figuring out.
In fact, although all parties are currently responding to this unfortunate traffic accident, which has aroused great concern. However, there are still some things that are currently confusing.
First, why is the vehicle not automatically unlocked in such a serious collision? However, it has been reported that the owner's manual shows that the vehicle has the function of "automatic unlocking in case of emergency".

One of the reasons why this incident has attracted attention is why the vehicle did not unlock automatically, so rescuers had to smash the car window to save people.
In this regard, the customer service of Wenjie and Cialis have responded. According to Red Star News, the customer service responded that most vehicles do not have an automatic unlocking function.
In this accident, the driver and passenger were unconscious and could not open the door from the inside of the car. Regardless of whether it is an invisible door handle or not, the only way to save people is by smashing the windows.
Official response
At the same time, Cialis also questioned the problem, saying that there was no automatic unlocking function, and the driver and passenger had lost consciousness at that time.
Obviously, judging from the official response, the vehicle involved should not have an "automatic unlocking function". It's just that this is obviously a bit confusing.
According to Red Star News, the owner's manual of the M7 clearly states that the car has an "emergency automatic unlocking function".

So, why didn't the vehicle automatically unlock when such a serious "collision" occurred with the vehicle involved? Moreover, there is a clear "contradiction" between the owner's manual and the official response.
However, it is worth noting that there are also some sources that only the old version of the instructions has a description of the automatic unlocking function of the vehicle, but the new version of the manual does not have this explanation. As for whether this note is in the 2024 model owner's manual, we also hope that the relevant owners will take note of this note.
In this regard, I think it is necessary for the brand official to continue to respond and explain this issue, so as to dispel the public's doubts about this model. It is necessary.

Second, whether the A-pillar of the vehicle involved played its due role. This is also one of the current questions on the Internet. After all, as a blockbuster model, the safety performance of the 2024 Wenjie M7 is also an important reason for many users to choose it.
From the official information, it can be known that the new car attaches great importance to passive safety, with submarine-grade hot-stamping steel accounting for 24.4%, high-strength steel and aluminum alloy accounting for 80.6%, and CBS composite body materials are also introduced.
And, judging from the official announcement information, the 2024 Wenjie M7 has also passed a number of rigorous tests. In particular, the Occupant Safety Index rating is "G". So, did these play their due role in this collision?
The official announcement of M7 is required
Third, according to the family's description, after the vehicle was rear-ended, the vehicle "exploded". I have to say that this traffic accident is too painful.
Judging by the footage from the scene, there is no doubt about the "fire". However, it should be noted that the description of the family said that there was an explosion in the car.
So, is there a "explosion" situation? If so, what is the reason for this incident? This may be a problem that the industry is concerned about at present.
The family of the person concerned spoke out
Fourth, does this incident remind us once again that even if the vehicle is equipped with many "black technology" configurations, we should be vigilant enough, or should we have enough awareness of its use conditions and trigger conditions?
As we all know, the current competition in the domestic auto market is very fierce, resulting in car companies often trying to emphasize and convey their own advantages in the process of publicity.
However, in the process of use, there is often no "obvious" reminder of the trigger conditions and possible risks of these functions or configurations, which makes it difficult for ordinary users to have a clear understanding of this.
The M7 collided and caught fire
Therefore, in the subsequent publicity process, I think that while domestic car companies are promoting the convenience brought by these technologies, they also let users have a more obsessed understanding of their trigger conditions or some risks that may arise?
The lesson this time is really profound enough. Here, we hope that similar incidents can be avoided as much as possible, and at the same time, Chinese people can always pay attention to traffic safety issues during driving.
Finally, the cause of the collision and fire of the M7 is still under investigation, and I hope that everyone will not believe or spread rumors, and the specific results of the official investigation shall prevail.
