11 cars in a row were hit by pressing the accelerator pedal deeply: Tesla's brake failure had nothing to do with the car

Regarding a traffic accident in Chengdu in which a Tesla hit 11 vehicles, Tesla responded that the accelerator pedal was deeply depressed. Tesla said in its response that it checked the background data and found that when the collision occurred in the video, the accelerator pedal of the vehicle involved was 100% depressed, and the vehicle speed increased from 54km/h to 132km/h at the time of the collision. Tesla also reiterated that by checking background data, the driver stepped on the brake pedal 2 seconds after the collision in the video.

Combining background data and vehicle damage status, it was found that the front wheels of the vehicle had fallen off after the first collision, the brake system pipelines were damaged, and the vehicle could no longer brake normally.

This kind of thing has also triggered heated discussions among netizens. Many people have expressed doubts about the reliability of Tesla's data. After all, there have been many accidents in China before, and professional results have shown that they have nothing to do with the vehicle itself..

Many netizens bluntly said that Tesla's backend only records the data it collects. Is such data recording objective? If the owner stepped on the brake but couldn't, does the backend just record that he didn't step on it? If the car owner does not step on the accelerator and the vehicle automatically accelerates, will it be recorded as acceleration in the background, indicating that the car owner is stepping on the accelerator?

Regarding data issues, industry experts also said that currently no domestic institution has the professional capabilities to detect smart electric vehicle data..

Previously, Zhang Xiang, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s new energy and intelligent connected automobile industry expert think tank, said that Tesla, as a smart car, cannot be tested according to the standards of traditional cars. Moreover, Tesla has not been on the market for a long time, but its technology iterations are changing with each passing day. Our regulations and industry standards have not yet caught up.
