In the design and manufacture of the vehicle, the engineering plastic material used in the accelerator pedal itself has a certain toughness and wear resistance, and also sets up a certain protection mechanism, once it is subjected to excessive external force, it can break in time to avoid causing greater damage to the vehicle and the driver, and the situation that the accelerator pedal is broken is also the result of the normal play of its protection mechanism.

In the future of automobile design and manufacturing, major car companies must pay more attention to their durability and safety when choosing materials, not only for the pursuit of lightweight and cost considerations, but also ignore the actual use of materials, only by choosing the right materials, can provide a more powerful guarantee for the safety performance of vehicles.
2. The use of the user should also be reasonable
In addition, users also need to have a clear understanding of the various components of the vehicle in the daily use process, rational use and maintenance of the vehicle, especially in the event of emergencies, to be able to respond calmly, get in touch with the car company in time, and obtain professional help and support.
When users encounter similar situations, they also need to have a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle, can not easily modify and repair the vehicle, once the failure occurs, but also need to get in touch with the car company in time for professional testing and maintenance, to ensure the safety performance of the vehicle, but also to better protect their legitimate rights and interests.
3. Responsibilities and responsibilities of car companies
For car companies, it is not only the test of product quality and safety performance, but more importantly, the responsibility and responsibility of users, only the safety of users in the first place, in order to win the trust and support of users, and in the face of emergencies, it is also necessary to take the initiative to assume the corresponding responsibility, actively communicate and negotiate with users, solve practical problems for them, so that they can truly feel the care and support of car companies.
It is also necessary to learn experience and lessons from the incident, constantly improve and enhance the quality and safety performance of products, and strengthen the quality control of parts, only in this way can we stand out in the fierce market competition, win the recognition and reputation of users, and achieve sustainable development and growth.
As a well-known enterprise in the field of new energy vehicles, NIO has also been affected and questioned in the incident of the accelerator pedal being broken, but it can actively respond to and deal with the matter, give enough care and support to the user's experience, and can also learn from the experience and lessons learned, and constantly improve and improve the quality and safety performance of the product.
