AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/16 Report--

This morning, with regard to the incident that "a Tesla in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province lost control and caused two deaths and three injuries", the Chaozhou police commissioned an agency in Shanghai to conduct a third-party identification of the car accident. Some media have also exposed the video of the third-party appraisal scene on the Internet.

It can be seen from the video that the vehicle involved in the accident, Tesla, and the two vehicles that collided with him were parked in the parking lot of the Sanrao traffic police squadron. Tesla was placed separately under a tin shed surrounded by tarpaulins and sunshade nets. In the picture, we can see that the staff at the scene have checked the tires of the vehicles one after another. In addition, workers wearing white protective clothing entered the front row of the vehicle to work. At about 11:30, the video showed the rear outline light of the accident vehicle Tesla on. The staff seems to be conducting some kind of test on the vehicle. At 12:30 in the afternoon, the police and the scene staff suspended their work, and the scene personnel left the parking lot divided into a number of vehicles.

With regard to the third-party appraisal of the vehicle conducted by the Shanghai authorities, the relatives of the owners of Tesla's car accident in Chaozhou told the media: "We asked Tesla to provide the background data of the vehicle at the scene, but Tesla did not declare his position, and we do not agree with this appraisal." In addition, the relative also said that the traffic police said that the third-party identification was carried out normally, and if the relatives did not approve the results, they could appeal.

At present, the results of today's third-party identification have not been released by the police. Tesla said to the third-party appraisal that the person involved in the appraisal is a state-recognized professional authority, which is selected by the police. Under the supervision of the police, the appraisal work is under way. The final result of the accident identification needs to be announced by the police, and all the information announced by the police shall prevail. Tesla complied with the arrangements of the police and appraisal agencies and fully cooperated with various investigations.

According to auto industry concerns, the incident occurred at 06:42 on November 5, when a Model Y model suddenly lost control and ran into two motorcycles and two bicycles one after another, killing two people and injuring three. According to the accident owner's son, Mr. Zhan, told the media that when the father tried to hit the brakes, he found that the brake pedal was so hard that he could not stop, so he had to drive on and eventually there was an accident. However, Tesla later said in response to the accident that the switch of the vehicle in the accident had been stepped on deeply for a long time and there was no braking action all the way.

It is worth noting that today, with regard to the institutional appraisal of Chaozhou Tesla, the female car owner of the Shanghai Auto Show also expressed her views on her personal Weibo, saying: in the accident in which Tesla was killed and injured in Chaozhou, the truth actually only needs Tesla to come up with complete driving data to make a scientific and fair appraisal.

It also pointed out that Tesla's data is divided into two kinds, one is background driving data, and the other is black box data, that is, EDR data. EDR data collects a set of parameters every 0.2s, and background data collects a set of parameters every 1 second, but their parameter types are very different. EDR data only records parameters before the collision. While the background data is richer and more comprehensive than EDR data in terms of time length and recording parameters, only Tesla can translate and interpret the encrypted EDR data. The most important point is that these two kinds of data are written by Tesla's program and are all provided unilaterally by Tesla. When the vehicle is normal, Tesla can write a set of true data truthfully recording the driver's operation. When the vehicle has unexpected acceleration and other failures, it is also possible to write a set of false data!

At this stage, not only the owner of the accident and Tesla have their own opinions, netizens also have a lot of discussion about the "out of control" accident of Tesla in Chaozhou. The owner of the accident insisted that "brake failure" was the main cause of the tragedy, while Tesla said the driver did not step on the brakes all the way. Of course, what the truth is has yet to be officially announced.

However, in response to the accident of Tesla in Chaozhou, the Beijing News Shell financial reporter once called a number of automobile testing agencies to inquire. Many organizations have indicated that they can carry out hardware testing for vehicles, but if there is a problem with the software or system, it cannot be guaranteed to detect it with the existing technology of the organization. Other institutions said, "Tesla has his own brand protection and has set restrictions on private data, which cannot be read by the outside world." It is difficult to detect whether Tesla really has brake failure. However, some institutions said that if Tesla is willing to provide complete driving data, including brake pedal opening, motor torque, etc., the company can analyze it and issue a report.
