Accident of AITO M7 Sudden Acceleration and Responses from the Manufacturer

TapTechNews July 12th news, on July 9th, the blogger @电车同学 reposted an accident of the AITO M7. The owner described that his AITO M7 (intelligent driving four-wheel drive version) suddenly accelerated out of control without activating the function, and finally crashed into the big truck in front, and then rushed to the side of the road and hit the roadside sign and iron fence before stopping.

The owner also mentioned in the article: Can't find the video of the accident when it happened, but the videos before and after the accident can be seen, Only 4 airbags in the car were opened, and the most critical airbag on the main driver's seat only opened the one on the steering wheel, and the one on the door side did not open, and other contents.

In response to the content shared by this blogger, TapTechNews noticed that the AITO car customer service sent two consecutive responses. At 22:18 on July 11, it responded: We have noted this situation, expressed condolences to the driver, and actively cooperated with the police investigation. The data shows that the vehicle was not in intelligent driving before the collision, the accelerator pedal was at 100% opening, and it was not in the AEB trigger scenario, and no active braking record was seen. The final result is subject to the official notification.

The AITO car customer service responded again at 22:19 on July 11: Hongmeng Zhixing advocates human-vehicle co-driving to ensure safety. Intelligent driving is not autonomous driving, and the experience of Huawei's high-level intelligent driving is excellent. But according to regulations, the driver is the main body and is responsible for the driving behavior. When the intelligent driving system cannot deal with extreme situations, the vehicle needs to be taken over in time.
