Recently, a traffic accident involving the M7 has sparked a lot of discussion on the Internet. The accident occurred in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, involving a Wenjie M7, and unfortunately, none of the three passengers in the car were spared.
On a cold winter night, a serious traffic accident occurred on a highway in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province. An M7 with three people on board suddenly lost control while driving at high speed and had a high-speed rear-end collision with the vehicle in front. Due to the extreme force of the impact, the front of the vehicle was almost completely deformed.
During the emergency rescue process after the incident, the rescue team encountered unexpected difficulties when trying to open the car door for rescue. According to the vehicle's design, in the event of a collision, the doors should automatically unlock so that rescuers can quickly approach the injured passenger.
In this accident, none of the four doors of the M7 opened as expected. In the end, the rescuers had no choice but to use rescue tools to break through the window.
The safety performance and technical reliability of vehicles have been widely questioned. The M7's owner's manual clearly states that the vehicle can automatically unlock the doors in the event of a major collision.
This setting was supposed to provide an extra layer of safety for passengers. The behavior in this accident is very different from what is described in the manual.
Many people are beginning to question the quality control of the design and manufacture of the M7. There was a lively discussion about the car's safety features, and the reputation of the car manufacturer was affected as a result.
From a technical point of view, most of today's new models are equipped with a function that automatically unlocks after a crash, and this technology has been widely used in a variety of vehicle models, including some relatively less expensive models. The public is puzzled and outraged by the failure of the M7 at this point.
Further investigation revealed that although it is not mandatory for all vehicles to be equipped with automatic post-collision unlocking functions, it has become a common safety standard. Engineers from car companies also said that this technology is not only simple, but has also been adopted and implemented by many car companies.
Discontent among car owners and the public has increased as the impact of the accident has expanded. There are deep questions about the security of the M7, as well as confusion about whether Huawei is involved in the automotive manufacturing sector.
Although Huawei's top management has made it clear that Huawei does not make cars and that the M7 is not a direct product of Huawei, its role and responsibilities as a technology provider in this incident have also become the focus of discussion.
The impact of the incident gradually spread to the sales network of the M7. Several dealers have said that since the accident, there has been a significant decrease in the number of customers who have inquired about and purchased the M7. Some potential buyers have expressed concerns about the safety of the model and have asked the manufacturer to provide more detailed safety test reports and improvement measures.
A number of automotive safety experts and technical bloggers began to conduct in-depth analysis of the M7's vehicle design. They sought to find out the technical reasons why doors fail to unlock automatically in severe crashes, and how design improvements could be made to enhance vehicle safety.
The company is committed to taking appropriate improvement measures based on the results of the investigation and working closely with all relevant departments to ensure that similar incidents do not recur.
The public's response to the car has been mixed. Some people felt that the company's attitude was honest and looked forward to seeing further improvements, while others expressed dissatisfaction with the response that it was just "starting an investigation", believing that it was a concrete solution to the problem.
In the weeks following the accident, there was a heated discussion on the Internet about the M7. From technical analysis to consumer rights, from car company responsibilities to future automotive safety standards, a variety of topics are emerging.
