Recently, an ideal L7 accident video attracted the attention of netizens, in the video, the ideal L7 was rear-ended by a truck, the roof was uncovered, the AB pillar was completely broken, the driver was suspected to be dead, and the overall car accident scene was miserable. Cars
In this regard, many netizens questioned the safety of the ideal car, believing that in such a collision accident, the strength of the AB pillar of the ideal L7 was insufficient and completely broken, which led to the tragedy.
For this matter, Li Auto has officially announced an explanation:
At about 21:44 on the evening of December 21, 2023, a serious traffic accident occurred in Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, and we are deeply saddened and regretted by this accident.
In a collision, the car triggers the on-board emergency alarm system, and when the user who has called multiple times does not provide feedback, the employee will arrive at the scene as soon as possible to provide support.
Combined with the background data of the car for a preliminary analysis, the car did not turn on the function of assisted driving in operation, 3 seconds before the impact, the speed reached 178km·h-1, the driver took braking measures, and finally caught up with the truck in front at a speed of 96kmh and drilled under the truck and rushed out of the road.
At present, the relevant departments have cordoned off the scene of the accident and investigated it, we will cooperate with **, request to provide all the necessary data to restore the full picture of the accident as soon as possible, and on this basis, give necessary assistance to the family of the owner.
On July 27, 2023, the family of a victim put a damaged Ideal L9 MAX at the door of the ideal and proposed**, according to the family statement of the victim, the ideal L9 was driving at high speed at the time, and its ACC assisted driving system was suddenly occupied, causing the car to hit a 10cm high tree on the side of the road, the A pillar of the car was torn off, the B pillar fell, and the roof was twisted, resulting in one death, Three people were injured, and the trees that were hit did not break.
Li Auto later issued a statement saying that it would be a unilateral accident with clear facts. Except for the driver, all members of the car were not wearing seat belts, and there were no product quality problems with the car, and there was no loss of control of the car.
The car moves from the left lane to the right lane at a speed of 103kmh and finally makes the right side of the car and the trees near the highway (diameter 38.).Around 5cm, field measurement circumference 121cm) collided.
It is worth mentioning that the same large car, the ZEEKR 009 rear-end semi-trailer, has a pillar directly embedded in the semi-trailer body, but the A pillar has not yet been broken, leaving enough living space for the passenger compartment.
The Ideal L7 performed well in the crash test of the China Insurance Research Institute, with a G rating (good) for the occupant safety index in the car, pedestrian safety index outside the vehicle and vehicle auxiliary safety index. According to official data, the body of the ideal L7 accounts for more than 75% of high-strength steel, hot stamping steel accounts for more than 29%, and the top pressure load can reach 12 tons.
Realistically speaking, according to the results of the identification of the accident scene, it seems that the two accidents cannot be attributed to the poor ideal safety, but it was only caused by **, replaced by another car, and the consequences of the accident may not be as good as **, but after the accident, the A pillar and the B pillar were broken, this performance formed a sharp contrast with the extreme krypton 009, it seems that this should be true.
In addition, it is also worth reflecting on whether the driver assistance system was turned on or emergency braking measures were taken in the two accidents, and why the consequences of the accident were so serious if the emergency braking occurred, and it is also worth reflecting on the fact that for the driver, for the time being, these systems should not be relied too much on, and driving safety, at least for the time being, cannot be handed over to the machine, but should be grasped by the driver himself.
