AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/15 Report--

A netizen photographed the owner of a Shanghai Tesla on the viaduct of Yingtian Street in Nanjing during the rush hour in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, on Oct. 14, while the driver took off his hands and closed his eyes. As soon as the video was released, it also attracted the attention of a large number of netizens. According to the video posted by netizens, the Tesla owner leaned against the cab seat and could be seen with his hands off the steering wheel. And video users also said in a voice: even if the vehicle has self-driving function, it can't drive like this.

In response to this matter, some netizens said: I have a lot of courage, but also dare to close my eyes. I wouldn't dare to lend me a hundred guts. Safety, especially the safety of other people's lives, must not be taken as a joke. Another netizen said: the car owner is unlikely to really fall asleep, and his hands must be on the steering wheel during autopilot, and the system will prompt every minute or two, otherwise the system will quit autopilot and the car will stop. In addition, some netizens questioned the behavior as a pose, saying: multi-angle omni-directional windows are all open for you to shoot, what is it if it is not a pose? In addition, no counterweight was observed on the steering wheel, and it was counterintuitive to have four windows open when driving in the rain.

Then the relevant media contacted the Nanjing traffic police department. As for the behavior of the car owner, the traffic police department said that it has paid attention to the video and is further investigating the situation. A policeman who has worked at the grass-roots level for many years said that according to the Road Traffic Safety Law, drivers are not allowed to interfere with safe driving when driving a vehicle, and even if the vehicle has an auxiliary driving function, their hands should not be taken off the steering wheel.

With the rapid development of automobile intelligence, more and more advanced technologies are applied to automotive products, so that users can feel the convenience and speed brought by the era of science and technology. Autopilot technology for users, can only improve driving convenience, not a complete replacement, the steering wheel needs to be in their own hands at all times. At present, many electric car companies use autopilot as a selling point for publicity, but it should be noted that the vehicle can not be completely handed over to autopilot at this stage. Because the self-driving adopted by most mainstream car companies is L2-level auxiliary driving, there is still some room for improvement in intelligent and automatic driving. Most of the vehicles are equipped with auxiliary driving functions, which are only limited to auxiliary driving, and can not achieve complete automatic driving.

As for autopilot, Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the passenger Association, also said that "it is necessary to educate consumers and take more measures to prevent over-reliance on autopilot." "the biggest problem at present is that consumers are not aware of the risks of autopilot, and it is risky to rely too much on autopilot when autopilot is not yet fully mature," it said. " When the enterprise does not confirm that the autopilot function completely replaces the manual driving, most autopilot problems are still the responsibility of the driver. Companies have the responsibility to inform consumers that autopilot has not yet replaced manual driving, and drivers must take control of the vehicle at any time. "
