Tesla car accident caused controversy. Tesla is so unreliable. Why do people still buy it? In Xixi National Wetland Park, a Tesla car broke through the ground and knocked down a street lamp. At the time of the incident, the driver had already drunk, but he denied that he was drunk driving. The driver said that he was sitting in the co-pilot at the time of the incident, and a collision safety accident occurred after the car turned on the fully automatic assisted driving function.

This statement by the driver was quickly refuted by Tesla. The relevant person in charge said that only when someone is holding the steering wheel in the main driving position can the car turn on the fully automatic assisted driving function. If the driver sits in the co-pilot, it is impossible to realize the automatic driving of the car. However, some netizens have questioned this statement. Because some netizens have released test videos before, you can "cheat" the car by placing certain hangers on the main driving position and the steering wheel, and turn on the fully automatic assisted driving function.

The new investigation conclusion of safety accident was announced, and the basic investigation conclusion of Hangzhou traffic control department showed that the driver was sitting in the main driver's seat during the whole incident, instead of the "person in the co-pilot seat" as previously mentioned. At the same time, the driver's blood test showed that he was drunk driving and had been investigated for suspected dangerous driving.

In fact, even if the driver is indeed in the co-pilot, it is difficult to use automatic driving to "pass the buck" to escape crime and punishment. William's lawyer Zhang Zongbao. According to the analysis of J Law Firm, there are three types of intelligent networked cars in China at present, namely "conditional automatic driving", "highly automatic driving" and "fully automatic driving". Among the three types here, "conditional autopilot" and "highly autopilot" require drivers to take over immediately and stand by at any time under certain conditions.

At present, consumer cars that are legally sold on the road in China actually belong to two categories: "conditional automatic driving" and "highly automatic driving". At this time, the mainstream legal norm is "belonging to the intelligent networked car, and the driver shall bear the liability for compensation".

The proportion of safety accidents in Tesla is not very high. The United States once did a statistical analysis of traffic accidents caused by a car brand, and found that in the United States, Tesla's road traffic accidents accounted for 0.0 19%, but although there was only a little failure rate, the reports about it accounted for 95% of the mainstream media. Let's compare the death toll In 2020, only 8 people died in a Tesla car accident in the United States. The number of people killed by other cars is 42,052, which is not very high, but only 5% of the articles are reporting car accidents caused by other cars.

Brand awareness of Tesla Although there are frequent car accidents caused by quality problems of Tesla products in China, some people still firmly believe in Tesla. After all, Tesla's new energy vehicles still have a certain market share after so many years of accumulation. When customers can't find a better substitute, they can only choose Tesla.
