The bad news came, which made people feel chilled. A Huawei M7 electric car was involved in a serious car accident, and all three people in the car were killed, which was extremely tragic. Witnesses who witnessed all this could only weep helplessly as their relatives and friends around them were engulfed in flames. What happened to make this accident so brutal?
It is understood that on April 27, a netizen named Mu Mu posted on the Internet about the tragic car accident experience suffered by her family. It turned out that her younger brother was driving a Huawei Wenjie M7 electric car that had just been bought for more than three months, and when he was driving on the highway in Xiaxian County, Shanxi Province, he accidentally rear-ended a sprinkler truck in front of him.
The rear-end collision immediately caused a fire, and what was even more terrifying was that the doors just wouldn't open anyway. Mu Mu watched in despair as her husband, two-week-old child, and younger brother who was driving the car were all engulfed in the fire and died in the flames. The three living beings gradually disappeared in front of their eyes, turning into ashes in the flames, which made people worry.
As soon as the bad news came out, the Internet suddenly exploded. Everyone expressed shock and anger, and many people accused Huawei's models of serious safety risks. Some people denounce "Huawei is guilty" and criticize it irrevocably for its responsibility.
What is the cause of such a tragedy? Why can't the car door open? You know, even if the car accident causes serious deformation, as long as the door is functioning properly, there is still a chance to escape. Could it be that there is a fatal flaw in the design of the Huawei M7?
Let's reconstruct the full picture of the accident.
From the video taken by witnesses, we can see that immediately after the rear-end collision, the front of the body caught fire. Two personnel wearing red overalls and a man in black were also seen at the scene, trying to rescue them. The rear window was even pried open, but in the end, the three people in the car could not be rescued. They all ended up in the fire, which was heart-wrenching.
And afterwards, the customer service staff of Huawei Wenjie M7 said in response to this incident that the reason why the door could not be opened was not a problem with the product itself, but because the three people in the car were in a coma at the time, and no one unlocked it from the inside. They stressed that the model, like most models, does not have an automatic unlocking device in case of emergency.
In other words, even the most advanced models will inevitably expose potential safety hazards at critical moments. Although the efforts of the rescuers at the scene spared no effort, they were still unable to open the car door in the first place and save the lives of the trapped people. In this way, we can't help but reflect, is it really the "responsibility" of the car owner and passengers?
In fact, judging from the reactions of netizens, it is generally believed that this Huawei Wenjie M7 model itself has serious safety flaws. Some people pointed out that in order to pursue fashionable design, new energy vehicles have adopted hidden handles, which greatly increases the difficulty of rescue in emergency situations.
Another industry insider bluntly said that before the emergence of solid-state batteries, the safety factor of electric vehicles on the market is generally low, and it is very difficult to escape in the event of a failure or fire. Some netizens criticized that this hidden design is "not shallow", and the people in the car cannot escape at the first time, and can only be burned to death.
It can be said that this car accident is not only heartbreaking, but also triggered widespread reflection. When some manufacturers over-pursue fashionable looks and selling points, and ignore the basic safety of vehicles, the ultimate price to pay is the loss of innocent lives. As consumers, should we also be more cautious and rational when buying a car, instead of blindly being fooled by gimmicks?
However, there are also some netizens who put forward different views. They believe that no matter how hidden the door is, as long as it can be opened smoothly in an emergency, it is not a major safety hazard. The crux of the question is, why can't the rescuers at the scene rescue the trapped people in the car be the first to rescue them?
This is indeed a question worth digging into. In the video, we see that the fire is only the front part of the car, as long as the door can be opened in time, there should still be a chance to escape. Unfortunately, the rescuers were apparently unable to solve the problem in the first place. Does this show that there are still many things to be improved in the current domestic vehicle emergency rescue system?
Some netizens further analyzed that in recent years, new energy models have "risen in an all-round way", but there are many problems in safety performance, and at the same time, it has also exposed the shortcomings of the entire automotive industry in terms of safety design and standard formulation. They called on relevant departments and enterprises to pay close attention and take effective measures to improve the overall safety of vehicles and prevent the recurrence of such tragedies.
Some people even suggest that at the moment when new energy vehicles are not yet fully mature, consumers should still choose carefully, rather than less high-tech configurations, but also to ensure the basic safety performance of vehicles. After all, the safety of human life is the most important thing, and all the pursuit of function and appearance should be based on this premise.
Undoubtedly, this car accident was shocking and distressing. A beautiful family was ruined in this way, and three fresh lives were wiped out, which makes people wonder, is the development of new energy vehicles not really safe and reliable?
But at the same time, we must also realize that safety is by no means exclusive to a certain enterprise or industry, but a topic that requires the joint efforts of the whole society. Instead of simply blaming individual brands, we should start to improve vehicle safety standards, improve emergency rescue capabilities, and protect the lives of every passenger.
