preface
On March 29, a Xiaomi SU7 standard version that was driving on a high speed, for some reason, collided violently with road facilities, and then the vehicle caught fire and burned, and none of the three people in the car were spared.
At the beginning, the victim's family complained about their children's tragic experience and the inaction of relevant car companies on social platforms, but today the victim's family suddenly emptied Weibo, and the reasons behind it were also exposed.
And a professor at Tongji College also questioned Xiaomi Auto.
The victim's mother emptied Weibo
After the accident, Ms. Wang, the mother of the victim, chose to pour out her inner pain and doubts on Weibo under great grief. Ms. Wang also mentioned that Xiaomi issued a notice after the accident, saying that it would set up a special investigation team to thoroughly investigate the matter.
But from the moment of the accident to the time she posted the article, for a long time, no one in Xiaomi took the initiative to contact her.
In addition, Ms. Wang also questioned many doubts about the accident. Why does a vehicle spontaneously combust so quickly after hitting a guardrail?
In response to various questions from netizens, she also responded one by one. She stressed that her daughter has 3 years of driving experience, is not a novice driver, and should have some experience in driving vehicles.
But on April 3, attentive netizens discovered that Ms. Wang's Weibo page had changed dramatically. She has emptied all Weibo posts about the Xiaomi accident. Not only that, but she also turned off Weibo's comment function.
Ms. Wang's act of emptying Weibo has sparked a lot of speculation among netizens.
Some netizens believe that perhaps Ms. Wang and Xiaomi have met and communicated, and the two sides have reached some kind of consensus or have a new solution direction, which makes Ms. Wang feel that she does not need to speak out through Weibo for the time being.
But many netizens speculated that Ms. Wang may be under the huge pressure of online violence. Since the accident, Ms. Wang and her family have been facing groundless accusations and malicious speculation on the Internet.
What's more, maliciously speculated on Ms. Wang's motives for speaking out, saying that she was "afraid that she would not be able to get compensation", "too much drama" and "relied on", and even ridiculed her for "still being in the mood to swipe her mobile phone" and "don't start a live broadcast to bring goods at the end".
Some netizens posted comments about Ms. Wang's previous exchange of criticism with netizens, and netizens said that he should think more about his son and don't let his son learn to drive like this. And Ms. Wang was also merciless and looked back.
It is said that there is no unventilated wall in the world, and there will be records of what you do and what you do, and some netizens said that Ms. Wang was probably afraid that some of her previous inappropriate remarks would cause trouble, so she deleted Weibo.
Subsequently, a person on the Internet who claimed to be the aunt of the co-pilot girl spoke out in real name, which also brought more details to the incident. To add credibility, she shows her ID directly at the beginning of the video.
The aunt revealed that the accident occurred at around 10 p.m. on March 29, but the family did not receive the news until 6 p.m. the next morning.
Talking about the family of the three girls, the aunt said that one of them is an only daughter, and the family has finally cultivated college students.
In addition, the aunt also responded to some groundless questions and rumors on the Internet. She also emphasized that she is not a traffic user at all, but to tell the truth.
But then some netizens found out that she had brought the goods on social platforms, which also disgusted many netizens, thinking that he was unscrupulous for the sake of popularity.
A professor from Tongji University spoke out
On April 1, Zhu Xichan, a professor at the School of Automobile Engineering of Tongji University, expressed his professional views on the accident in an in-depth interview with The Paper.
Through in-depth analysis, Professor Zhu Xichan believes that it only takes 2-3 seconds for the automatic assisted navigation driver to issue a risk warning and the vehicle collides with the cement guardrail.
The fact that the accident occurred in such a short period of time shows that the alarm was not timely enough and the time left for the driver to react correctly was too hasty.
In addition, Professor Zhu Xichan also conducted relevant tests through professional simulators. The test results showed that the average time from the system prompt to the accident was only 1.7 seconds.
According to a large number of studies and actual data, it takes an average of 2.3 seconds for a human driver to complete the operation from recognizing the prompt to effectively taking over the vehicle.
Based on the results of this test, Professor Zhu Xichan strongly questioned Xiaomi's claim of "2-second warning".
He made it clear that in the real situation, it takes at least 10 seconds to successfully recall the distracted driver, so that he can effectively control the vehicle in time and avoid accidents.
Some netizens refuted this, if you really want to give an early warning 10 seconds in advance, you must have the ability to monitor more than 340 meters. How can there be a sensor with such a long inspection distance now?
Netizens are hotly discussed
After the accident, although there were many remarks on the Internet that questioned the safety of Xiaomi cars, some netizens felt that Xiaomi could not be blamed for everything.
A blogger posted a video of a test vehicle crash on the Internet, and the moment the car at 64 kilometers per hour collided, the front driver's head was about to reach the limit, let alone 97.
Not to mention the question of whether the door can be opened, at the moment of impact, it is basically certain that the person inside fainted, if the back seat is not wearing a seat belt, it will only be more serious, dare to ask the driver why he had to move at such a fast speed at that time?
How dare you take your hands off the wheel at such a speed?
Besides, Lei Jun has said before that no matter how intelligent driving is, it is currently assisted driving, and the driver must always keep an eye on the road, hold the steering wheel, and be ready to take over at any time, not that you can completely hand over your life to him.
Some netizens said that they couldn't trust AI hosting when they were fighting landlords, let alone when they were driving?
In the chat record posted by the victim's boyfriend, some netizens suggested that when Xiaomi Auto reminded the driver to hold the steering wheel, the girls were still chatting with their boyfriends, does this also mean that the driver also has a certain degree of dangerous driving responsibility?
There are many old drivers who say that they have driven a car for so many years, and they have never heard of daring to drive 116 yards when the highway is narrowing, let alone turning at 97 yards, not to mention daring to send messages to their boyfriends at such a fast speed.
end
So far, the police have not released the specific cause of the accident, and the relevant investigation is still ongoing. All we can do is stay sane and wait until the truth comes.
