Recently, in Qingyuan, Guangdong, a very tragic major traffic accident occurred in Ideal L7.
Recently, there was a deeply distressing traffic accident in Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, and the protagonist was the ideal L7 car.
According to the scene** and surveillance video, the roof of the ideal L7 was almost all overturned, the AB pillar was suspected to be broken, and the driver was suspected of being killed, and the scene was extremely tragic. According to the footage of the accident, the large truck at that time had just left the parking lot and turned right, and the Ideal L7 behind collided with it at a very fast speed.
On December 22, the day after the incident, Li Auto issued an official statement explaining the accident.
The statement said: At the time of the accident, the vehicle triggered the emergency alarm system, but the driver did not connect it. The staff rushed to the scene as soon as possible to rescue. In addition, judging from the background data of the vehicle, 3 seconds before the accident, the speed of the vehicle was as high as 178 kilometers per hour, although the driver took the braking action, he finally lost control and hit the rear truck head-on at a speed of 96 kilometers and hours, causing the vehicle to completely get under the chassis of the truck in front and rush off the road.
At present, the local authorities have cordoned off the scene to carry out an investigation. Li Auto promises to fully cooperate with the investigation, provide all the required data and information to help restore the truth of the accident as soon as possible, and provide necessary assistance to the relatives of the car owner.
Even though the vehicle is equipped with a flagship-level safety body structure, including a high-strength steel plate with a ratio of more than 75 and a hot-stamping steel ratio of more than 29 and a small deflection of 25 percent, the Li Auto statement still revealed that the collision speed was as high as 96 kilometers per hour, which shocked many netizens.
However, at the time of the incident, the Ideal L9 also reached an astonishing speed of 103 km/h, which undoubtedly increased the likelihood of a crash.
Li Auto once again stated that its predecessor, the model of Ideal One, had suffered a heavy blow from a high-speed rear-end van truck, resulting in the fracture of the A-pillar and the failure of all 7 airbags, but fortunately the driver's life was worry-free. However, since then, the owner has still questioned Li Auto on social media, covering issues such as why the A-pillar is broken, why the airbag is not deployed, and why the auxiliary driver cannot recognize the lane change of the car in front of him. The subsequent owner downplayed his position and deleted the relevant post, "After friendly consultation, we have properly resolved." ”
And on July 27 this year, another Ideal L9 crashed into a tree on the highway, resulting in one death and many injuries. The A-pillar and B-pillar of the body were severely torn and deformed, and the owner parked the car in front of the Li physical store and posted a negative slogan, accusing Li Auto of malfunctioning and causing the accident. But Li Auto always insisted that the speed of the car at that time was up to 103 kilometers per hour, and with the high-speed side of the trees (about 385cm) in the event of a serious collision with 0The driver stepped on the accelerator for 5 seconds, and there was no braking operation after that.
These incidents were undoubtedly unilateral accidents caused by speeding and negligence on the part of the motorist. However, many questions arise about the role of assisted driving in such accidents and the reasons behind them. Is serious damage to a vehicle caused only by excessive speed?
It is worth noting that in the accident in which the VV7 overturned a viaduct up to 20 meters high and the Tiggo 8PRO hit the cement pier of the highway toll booth at a speed of 125 kilometers per hour, the damage to the vehicle was relatively small. Although the difference in impact point and speed will affect the damage condition, it is puzzling why the damage to the two pillars in the front row (A-pillar and B-pillar) in these two accidents still attracted the attention of many netizens.
In the driving process, we should pay more attention to the improvement of traffic safety awareness. No amount of advanced driver assistance technology can completely avoid the risk of accidents. Driving attentively and always being prepared for the unexpected is perhaps the best operating principle to follow.
