On September 30, 2024, in Hezhou, Guangxi, a brand-new energy vehicle staged a "driverless" farce. After the owner parked the car, he hung up the reverse gear, got out of the car, and then, the key came, he actually forgot to turn off the engine and pull out the key! As a result, the car started an hour-long "ghost hitting the wall" type of reversing, and did not stop until the battery was exhausted.
To be honest, when I saw this news, my first reaction was: This is too outrageous, right? Are you sure it's not a joke? Today's new energy vehicles, with such a high degree of intelligence and various auxiliary driving functions, why is there still such a loss of control caused by low-level errors?
Later, when I thought about it carefully, the problems reflected behind this are really worth talking about. The owner's operation is indeed a bit confused. Parking without turning off the engine and not pulling out the key, this basic operation has been forgotten, and it is no wonder that netizens joked that "this is the biggest disrespect for new energy vehicles". However, then again, who is not a sage, who can be without fault? Who hasn't been confused?
What's more noteworthy is that the automatic lock function of this car is also buggy? It stands to reason that when the vehicle is started, if it detects that there is no one in the car, there should be corresponding safety mechanisms to intervene, such as automatic braking, alarms, etc. But the car kept reversing, and the people around it had nothing to do but watch it "perform" in a hurry. This can't help but make people question, is the safety system of new energy vehicles really reliable?
Of course, it's not that new energy vehicles are bad. On the contrary, I think that new energy vehicles are the future development trend, environmental protection, energy saving, intelligence, and a lot of advantages. But there are two sides to everything, and while technological progress has brought some new security risks. This incident is a wake-up call, reminding us that while enjoying the convenience of science and technology, we should also pay attention to safety issues.
In fact, this is not the first time that similar incidents have happened. I've seen news reports before that some new energy vehicles are out of control due to software failures, battery problems and other reasons. This shows that the new energy vehicle industry still has a long way to go in terms of technology research and development and safety assurance.
