Tesla China official website has renamed the Autopilot Autopilot function to Autopilot autopilot in the model introduction. The addition of the word "auxiliary" seems to be warning Tesla owners that this is only an auxiliary function and cannot undertake all driving tasks. This change seems to be related to a Tesla autopilot accident in China.
On August 3, a Tesla owner collided with a black Santana parked in the driveway while driving on the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing. Tesla's autopilot system was not aware of the Santana car in front of it, nor did it take any evasive action or slow down braking. After the collision, the vehicle did not take any measures, but continued to drive forward until the owner stepped on the brake pedal. However, Tesla's spokesperson explained in the statement that Tesla has been correcting the ambiguity caused by translation between different languages for several weeks, and now choosing to modify Chinese translation has nothing to do with recent events and news reports.
Coincidentally, according to foreign media reports, on August 22, a man named Mark? Tesla owners in Merson, Texas, USA turned on the Autopilot automatic assisted driving function while driving on the 175 highway, but because the Autopilot system failed to identify a bend on the highway, the vehicle rushed out of the highway and hit the guardrail on the roadside.
