AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/02 Report--

Recently, some netizens revealed that Xiaopeng P7 test drive car had an accident during the test drive, the vehicle directly crashed into the guardrail beside the track, and the overall vehicle was seriously damaged.

From the exposure video, a test driver with three passengers on the track experience Xiaopeng P7, on the track Xiaopeng P7 acceleration ability is still very good, after the second corner ready to cut inside, Xiaopeng P7 may appear out of control, causing the vehicle to slide out of the track into the side guardrail.

Fortunately, the test driver and passengers were fine, but the car suffered a large degree of damage. Xiaopeng P7 was suspected to have broken axle after collision, and the front wheel was also seriously damaged. It can also be seen from the video that during the collision process, there are occupants in the car saying,"The vehicle is no good, no, ABS is off."

The video of the accident spread on the Internet and caused heated discussion among netizens. Many netizens thought that the test driver should have turned off ESP instead of ABS, and at the same time, they thought that the test driver also had great technical problems. In response to netizens 'hot discussion, Xiaopeng Automobile official response said,"The situation is not true, The accident is due to the driver's own improper operation caused, Not the vehicle automatically shut down ABS."

It is understood that ABS brake anti-lock system is in the car braking, automatically control the brake force, so that the wheel is not locked, in the state of edge rolling slip, to ensure that the wheel and the ground adhesion at the maximum value. Generally speaking, ABS cannot be manually interfered with, because it loses its meaning of existence if it can be turned off casually. ABS anti-lock braking system has been installed in the car is unable to close, need 4S shop maintenance personnel to deal with it, so the general family car is unable to close ABS.

The cause of this incident is likely to be that the test driver turned off ESP, that is, the electronic stability system of the vehicle body. ESP mainly improves the handling performance of the vehicle, and effectively prevents the system or program from losing control when the vehicle reaches its dynamic limit, so as to improve the safety and handling of the vehicle.

With the continuous fermentation after the incident, on June 2, Xiaopeng Automobile released the statement of the owner involved in the "Xiaopeng P7 accident" through the official micro blog. In the statement, the personnel said that considering the early test drive, ESP and ABS work will have a certain push head and slow steering speed. In order to brush out faster lap speed, ESP motor fuse was pulled out, resulting in ESP and ABS function failure. At the same time, the party concerned said that after the accident, the door could be opened normally, all functions in the vehicle were normal, and there was no injury to the personnel in the vehicle.

It is not difficult to see that the accident is not caused by the failure of Xiaopeng P7 itself, but the test driver is too confident in his own technology, pulling out ESP motor fuse causes partial function loss and thus causes the accident, but fortunately there are no casualties. However, although it is not the accident caused by Xiaopeng automobile failure, as a new force of car-building, it is not so mature in product technology, so it is easy to have such problems, which is also the reason why car-building enterprises often have quality problems, and car-building enterprises also urgently need to pay attention to these problems.
