Tesla has another "sudden acceleration" accident!

Recently, a video of a sudden acceleration collision between Tesla and the owner of a Model Y car was exposed on the Internet. The video shows that the white Model Y decelerated in front of the toll pole at the entrance of the community and walked slowly for a short distance, but the toll pole had not yet been raised, and the white Model Y suddenly accelerated and destroyed the toll pole. Another surveillance video shows that the Model Y rushed into the neighborhood and stopped directly against the wall of the district, during which it hit another black car in the neighborhood. In the end, the accident caused damage to two cars, toll poles and walls, but fortunately no pedestrians passed by at that time, and there were no casualties in the accident.

After the incident, the owner said to himself in the WeChat group: "my own car, this time finally believed, suddenly accelerated, out of control, the vehicle less than two months, driving more than 2000 kilometers." In the past, I didn't trust others. Only when it happened to myself did I realize it. " Some people in the group questioned whether they stepped on the wrong pedal or turned on autopilot. The owner responded that he had not stepped on the wrong pedal, did not turn on the autopilot function, and was afraid to guess the wrong pedal and set up a similar oil tanker mode. The owner said that all the airbags popped out at that time and he was not hurt.

In fact, there have been many reports about Tesla's accident, even though it is controversial, but at present there is no evidence to prove that Tesla has quality defects, and the true situation of the incident is inconclusive. However, the car owner has only been carrying the car for two months, so it is inevitable that he is not familiar with the handling of the vehicle. As we all know, many functions and buttons of Tesla are quite different from those of traditional fuel vehicles, especially the single pedal mode. Most drivers are already very familiar with the driving mode of traditional fuel vehicles. Sudden contact with Tesla's single pedal mode seems particularly unfamiliar. For ordinary fuel car owners, even old drivers may need more time to adapt to this series of new operations.

In addition, some of Tesla's function buttons are indeed easy to be mistakenly touched, such as the ACC full-speed domain adaptive cruise and AutoPoilt autopilot start buttons, which are started through the right side of the block (ordinary car wiper rod position), it is very easy to mistouch when hitting the direction or parking, and there is no obvious prompt when starting, which is very easy to cause car accidents.

Tao Lin, vice president of foreign affairs of Tesla, once said publicly, "in the use of Tesla, we also need to strengthen consumer education, and we need to cooperate with driving schools and transportation departments to let everyone understand how to use the new car." avoid misoperation in the use process, or some other problems caused by lack of functional understanding.
