AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/25 Report--

Recently, a video of a Xiaopeng P7 colliding with a rear-end trailer on the highway has attracted attention. From the video, a Xiaopeng P7 was driving at high speed when the NGP autopilot assisted driving system was activated. There was a large truck in front of the vehicle, but there was no obvious deceleration, and then it crashed directly into the big truck. The accident caused the owner to have a concussion and soreness all over the body, and has been hospitalized. Judging from the photos of the accident, the front of the Xiaopeng P7 has been completely deformed, the parts on the ground have been broken, and all the two airbags in the car have been ejected.

A friend who claimed to be the owner of the accident responded to the accident on Weibo. According to its introduction, before the collision, the Xiaopeng P7 driving on the highway enabled NGP autopilot to assist driving and set the speed to 120km/h. The speed of the large truck hit was estimated to be around 60km/h at that time, and the vehicle did not slow down some time before the collision. When the vehicle was 10 meters before the collision, the vehicle recognized the truck and slowed down, but it was too late. "We think the NGP function of Xiaopeng P7 has a fatal flaw," it said. The owner's brother asked to return the car and no longer touch Xiaopeng! "

Many netizens asked why they didn't take over the vehicle ahead of time. Xiaopeng P7 owner friend gave the reply is "he found out long ago, he thought the car would identify, of course, he just thought." People and cars are two problems. I sent it out to talk about the car problem "and" he is too young and inexperienced. I sent it out to say why the car did not identify the car in front, which is very scary, because the car in front is very big, it is moving, it is not a stationary object, and the road conditions are not complicated.

NGP, whose full name is "Intelligent Navigation Auxiliary driving", is a driving assistance function realized by Xiaopeng XPILOT 3.0 system combined with navigation path. To put it simply, the vehicle can automatically navigate from point A to point B under the NGP system. Although the driver is the main body of the operation, in fact, a lot of work is done by NGP. Specifically, after Xiaopeng turns on NGP, it can not only realize the functions of ACC adaptive cruise, LCC lane centering assistant, ALC automatic lane change assistant, but also have the functions of automatic selection of optimal lane, automatic overtaking of slow car, automatic speed limit adjustment, automatic ramp switching high speed, traffic cone bucket and faulty vehicle avoidance, night overtaking reminder and other functions. Compared with the often said auxiliary driving, the NGP system does look more "intelligent".

However, it needs to be reminded that in the "intelligent" auxiliary driving technology, the driver, as the main body of the operation technology, should pay real-time attention to the driving status of the vehicle and be ready to take over the vehicle in an emergency. Judging from the accident, the owner of Xiaopeng car overtrusted Xiaopeng's NGP system and thought that it could identify the large truck and avoid the accident, and missed the best time to take over the vehicle, which led to the accident. It is understood that when Xiaopeng owners use the NGP function for the first time, Xiaopeng will test the owners to avoid misoperation of auxiliary driving.

For the accident, Xiaopeng Motor said in response to the media: after the accident, there have been special personnel to respond to and deal with customer demands. According to the driving data detected in the background, before the collision, the functions of the system, such as front vehicle identification and vehicle control, seat belt vibration prompt, vehicle pre -, AEB and so on, are in normal working state. The results of further analysis will be explained in time after the owners have recovered, reviewed together and obtained their consent.

Why the current "Wei Xiaoli" products can be welcomed by the market, in fact, a large part of the reason is that the technology is more intelligent, compared with traditional car companies, the technology of car brand products has certain advantages. However, we have stressed more than once that in the state of autopilot, the person is still the main driver, and his hands must not leave the steering wheel. His eyes should pay attention to the road conditions in real time and take over the vehicle in time if necessary. In addition, even if future car products really reach the field of fully self-driving, drivers should not be overconfident in technology, because computers are always computers, and the human brain can make real-time responses according to real-time situations. and intelligent technology is easily limited by various conditions, which increases the risk of driving to a certain extent.
