Tesla deleted two sensitive words "Autopilot" and "autopilot" on its Chinese website and replaced them with "automatic assisted driving", which seems to be a whitewash explanation of the accident that happened in Beijing's North Fifth Ring Road last week. This morning, a test-drive car in France suddenly caught fire, and the reason is still unclear.
EcMedncEcMednc Tesla has had a number of accidents this year, all of which were collision events when the car failed to identify obstacles when turning on Autopilot (Tesla's automatic driving technology, in fact, it is just a driving assistance). Some drivers who hit the big trailer died on the spot, and some didn't recognize that their teeth hit the 12 pile one after another. When the accident happened, the driver's hand left the steering wheel without exception. The owner thinks Tesla should be responsible, while Tesla thinks the driver is driving improperly.
EcMedncEcMednc caused the owner and Tesla to wrangle back and forth. The main reason is that they don't have a correct understanding of Tesla's Autopilot and don't know enough about what it can and can't do.
EcMednc In fact, the autopilot technology currently used by Tesla can only be called a driver assistance system, which can only play an auxiliary role in the driving process, and most operations still need people to complete. According to the classification of self-driving cars by the American Highway Safety Administration according to the degree of automation, Tesla's self-driving level can only be regarded as level2, which is far from the highest level of level4 self-driving.
EcMednc's self-driving EcMednc, such as 369, has no clear standards for self-driving cars, only the automatic driving classification made by the US Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA). As can be seen from the figure below, NHTSA divides autonomous driving into five levels, from completely non-automatic driving to fully automatic driving.
