In the past two days, the 2024 Beijing Auto Show has been very lively, in addition to cooler new models and new technologies, it is also a "super show" for the bigwigs in the car circle.
However, hundreds of kilometers away in Shanxi, there is unfortunate news.
Recently, in Yuncheng, Shanxi, a Wenjie M7 caught fire after hitting a maintenance vehicle, killing 3 people. The family of the deceased said that the three people in the car, husband, brother and son, were all killed.
According to online reports, after the accident, the customer service of Wenjie called to inquire about the "after-sales experience", instead of intervening in the rescue at the first time.
01
The family of the deceased raised questions
The family members questioned: Why did the AEB and GAEB not have automatic emergency braking? Why did the battery catch fire when the protection was so good, and why did the airbag not protect it?
Judging from the live video posted by some netizens, some passers-by tried to break the window to save people at that time, but it was suspected that the car door could not be opened, resulting in the final rescue failure.
According to this, the media asked the Shanxi Yuncheng Expressway Traffic Police Brigade for verification, and the fourth detachment of the Shanxi Yuncheng Expressway Traffic Police Brigade received feedback from the police officers: There was indeed a car rear-ended with the maintenance vehicle on the highway, and the cause of the accident is currently in the investigation stage, and the specific reply needs to wait for the follow-up official response.
According to the blogger @Che Circle Duo Sect Leader Dora interviewed the owner's family Ms. Ma learned:
The time of the incident was around 4 p.m. on the 26th, and she received the notice at 6 p.m., and the driver's seat at the time of the incident was her brother, and her husband and son (two years old) were sitting in the second row.
This M7 has only been purchased for three months, and the purchase price is about 250,000, and it is confirmed that it has an AEB function, which is a better point in previous use, and I don't know why it was not triggered this time. In addition, in the video she received, the airbag did not pop at the time of the incident. The kind car owner (man in black) and two road workers who passed by had a rescue act and smashed the second row of windows, but unfortunately all three died in the end, and the younger brother and son burned in the car for a long time.

The latest voice from the family of the deceased
At 10 o'clock this morning, Ms. Ma said that they were waiting for the results in the high-speed traffic police team.
Subsequently, Ms. Ma posted on Weibo: I just want a truth!
The following is the full text of Weibo:
I have now lost my husband, I have lost my children, I have lost my brother, my family has collapsed, I don't know who to denounce now, we are not Huawei, we are not asking the world, we don't know public relations, we just want a result, who should I ask, who will ask me, who do I have the ability to denounce now? I just want to ask the truth, and I want to return to them are still with me.

The official statement of the question world was issued
At noon on April 28, Wenjie issued an official statement on its official Weibo:
At around 16:34 on April 26, 2024, a Wenjie M7Plus was involved in a serious traffic accident in Yuncheng, Shanxi. According to the national platform data access management regulations, it was learned that the vehicle was operating at a speed of 115km/h when the accident occurred, the airbag was opened normally, and the characteristics of the power battery pack were normal.
We are actively cooperating with the local traffic police department to carry out the accident investigation, providing all necessary data to restore the cause of the accident and providing all possible support to the family. The specific investigation results are subject to the follow-up report of the traffic police department.
The so-called AEB system, which refers to the automatic emergency braking system, is an active safety technology of automobiles, which can assist the driver to brake through the system when danger is detected, reduce the probability of collision with the vehicle or pedestrian in front and avoid accidents.
It is reported that safety has always been an aspect of the AITO series. A few days ago, at the Beijing Auto Show, Cialis released the Cialis Rubik's Cube platform, which focuses on "panoramic security", which can realize more than 200 safety functions and cover more than 150 security scenarios. According to the official publicity, AITO has sold nearly 300,000 units, and the battery has maintained a record of zero spontaneous combustion.
Some media also mentioned that Yu Chengdong, chairman of Huawei's intelligent vehicle solution BU, has repeatedly praised the safety of Huawei's cars as "far ahead" at new car press conferences such as Wenjie and Zhijie, especially the proud "AEB system". Based on his confidence in Huawei's automotive AEB system, Yu Chengdong once said that with the AEB system, "it is difficult to crash".
Subsequently, according to @Caijing.com Technology News, on April 28, Wenjie stated that it would provide all possible support to the family. He also said that the model involved in the accident was an entry-level non-intelligent driving version, which was not equipped with Huawei's high-end intelligent driving assistance system, but a Bosch solution.
The specific statement is as follows:
1. The model involved in the accident is an entry-level non-intelligent driving version and is not equipped with Huawei's high-end intelligent driving assistance system. Instead, the Bosch scheme AEB has a working range of 4-85km/h, and the speed of 115km/h in the event of a collision has far exceeded the Bosch AEB trigger range;
2. The characteristics of the power battery pack of the accident vehicle are normal, which means that there is no spontaneous combustion of the battery, and the specific cause of the fire needs to wait for the investigation results of the traffic police department;
3. When the accident occurred, the airbag of the accident car was opened normally, and there was no situation that the airbag was not working.

Just now, Bosch made a suspicious statement
Just now, blogger @常岩CY released a Bosch statement.
Bosch said: "We are concerned about the recent traffic accident in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, and after investigation, it was found that the vehicles involved were not equipped with the Bosch Intelligent Driving System (including AEB)." Bosch is deeply saddened by the casualties caused by the accident and expresses its deep condolences to the victims. ”
However, it is not possible to confirm the veracity of this statement at this time.

Who is responsible for this accident? Netizens from all sides have different opinions.
As of press time, judging from the reasons for the accident speculated by netizens, it is most likely that there are two points: one is the battery, and the other is the hidden handlebar.
At present, there is no conclusion on whether the fire accident is related to the battery. Some industry insiders pointed out that judging from the initial fire site, the possibility of a range extender fire cannot be ruled out.
Chengdu fire police told the media that the car will generally be automatically unlocked after a collision, and the hidden door handle will automatically pop out and will not affect the rescue, "but the fire and rescue department needs to understand how to open the hidden door handle of each car company", "whether the car company has communicated with the fire department, need to further understand".
