Tesla's crash sparked a controversy over dashcam data
Jinhua, Zhejiang, an ordinary April day. The sun is warm, the breeze is gentle, and nature is waking up. On such a quiet and peaceful day, a heart-wrenching car accident occurred, and a Tesla Model Y driven by a young couple lost control and fell off a cliff, killing both of them. This was originally just an ordinary traffic accident, but because of a detail, it has aroused widespread attention and questions.
What happened to the accident
According to the local police, at around 2 p.m. on April 27, a young couple drove a Tesla Model Y on the winding mountain road in Wucheng District, Jinhua City, when the vehicle suddenly lost control and rushed off the road, rolled dozens of meters and fell into the valley. After several hours of rescue, both men were no longer in vital signs. Preliminary investigation showed that the road section where the incident occurred was a steep winding road, with dry road surface and fine weather, and no obvious traces of road or vehicle failure were found.
Key doubts
The most puzzling thing is that the dash cam data at the time of the accident disappeared, and only the normal driving data in advance was retained. As Tesla's standard safety assistance system, the dash cam will record the vehicle's driving trajectory, speed, braking and other key data, which is essential for the investigation of the cause of the accident. This time, however, the key accident data mysteriously disappeared, plunging the entire case into a fog.
guess
For this phenomenon, the outside world has given various speculations and. Some experts believe that considering Tesla's technical strength, it is impossible for the dash cam data to be lost out of thin air, and it is likely that there is a suspicion of human deletion. In the event of a major incident, the relevant data is automatically protected and uploaded to prevent tampering or deletion.
Others believe that perhaps Tesla's systems are malfunctioning or buggy, preventing critical data from being properly recorded. This seems to be very unlikely, because Tesla has always regarded autonomous driving and safety as its core selling points, and the stability of the system should be sufficiently guaranteed.
Tesla responded
In the face of external doubts, Tesla said that the company is fully cooperating with the police investigation, but it cannot release more details at this time. Tesla's response does not seem to have calmed down the skepticism.
Voices of public opinion
On the contrary, Tesla's ambiguous response has only intensified the suspicion of the outside world. Some netizens questioned whether Tesla was deliberately hiding the truth? As a party to the accident, Tesla should have taken the initiative to release all the data to restore the truth of the accident.
The families of the victims of the accident expressed strong dissatisfaction with Tesla's attitude. They hope that Tesla can release all the dashcam data as soon as possible to restore the real experience of the accident and return justice to their loved ones.
