In March 2018, Chinese engineer Walter Huang drove his 2017 Tesla modelX in an accident on the highway, collided with the separation belt of the highway, and was rear-ended by Audi in the rear. Tesla finally caught fire and Walter Huang died. Now Huang's family sued Tesla in a California court on April 28th.

B. Mark Fong, the family's lawyer, said in a statement. "the Huang family hopes to help prevent this tragedy from happening to other drivers who use Tesla or any semi-self-driving car."

In an official speech after the fatal accident, Tesla blamed the driver's recklessness and lack of safety awareness, and at the same time claimed the advantages of his driving system, saying that the system tracked the highway to keep the driveway running and keep pace with the highway traffic.

Another fatal traffic accident occurred in California after the accident. Gisliang, a 34-year-old Chinese car owner and an engineer, drove a model S off a cliff on the road of Crow Canyon on the evening of May 21, crashing into a pond and killing the driver on the spot. The model S model was not discovered until more than 24 hours later.

Tesla issued a statement after the accident: our team is deeply saddened by the accident and strives to determine the occurrence of the accident and fully cooperates with the police. Tesla has not yet received any data about the vehicle.

There have been a number of accidents involving Tesla's autopilot in the United States, and the death rate is on the rise. Therefore, some netizens commented that the Tesla model is a coffin with a motor. In this regard, we should deeply review the safety of autopilot, whether it is supported by advanced 5G technology or servers with high computing power, there is always no way to break the lack of machines in emergency situations and multi-dimensional thinking. New energy manufacturers want you to review the autopilot technology promoted in promoting your new models, to be responsible for the lives of consumers and the property safety of others, and to warn that the current level of technology is far from being able to hand over traffic safety to machines.
