Recently, it was reported on the Internet that a serious traffic accident occurred in Xi'an, Shaanxi. A Xiaomi Su7 had an accident near Ziwu Avenue in Chang'an District, resulting in one death and one injury, and the situation at the scene was worrying.
According to the dashcam video provided by netizens, the video car was in a normal driving state at that time, and there were few vehicles on the road and a clear line of sight. The high-profile Xiaomi Su7 passed by the video car at such high speed that it was estimated that about 50 meters in front of the video car, an electric car suddenly burst out.
Seeing this, the Xiaomi car immediately hit the left to dodge, and then lost control and crashed into the isolated green belt on the left. However, the impact did not stop the vehicle, and due to the angle, the vehicle made a 180-degree U-turn and then rushed to the bus stop on the right, where it did not stop until it finally stopped.
From the photos of the accident scene, it can be clearly seen that the damage to the vehicle is extremely serious, the body is dented and deformed in many places, and the parts are scattered all over the place. The bus stop was even more shattered, and the originally thick pillars were bent, which can be imagined the strength of the impact at that time. The accident resulted in two casualties, both of whom are believed to be from the same family. After being rescued by the hospital, my sister unfortunately died, and my mother is still being treated.
After the accident, the police quickly arrived at the scene to deal with it. On October 14, the reporter learned about the relevant information from the Xi'an transportation department. At present, in addition to the injured mother's treatment in the hospital, the accident vehicle has been towed, and most of the accident scene has been dealt with, but the damaged bus stop has been dismantled, and it will be gradually repaired in the future. As for the situation of Xiaomi owners, there is no news for the time being, and the police said that it is currently being processed, and everything is subject to the notice.
Some netizens speculated based on the video that Xiaomi cars may have been speeding at that time. Speed limit signs on the side of the highway clearly indicate that the maximum speed on this section cannot exceed 70 per hour, and Xiaomi cars are overtaking video cars at breakneck speeds. And after the first impact on the barrier, the vehicle can still produce such a large impact force for a second impact, which makes many people question its speed.
At the same time, some netizens ridiculed that there were problems with the brakes of Xiaomi cars, such as a motorcycle that was rear-ended by a Xiaomi car when it stopped at a red light, which caused a lot of discussion among the public. Some people speculate whether the owner is reluctant to press the brakes hard, or the vehicle itself can't brake, or the owner is overconfident in the brakes. Some people also raised the question that the second impact of the vehicle after the first impact was still violent, is it that the owner is too nervous and takes the accelerator as a brake, after all, Xiaomi car 0 hundred only takes more than 3 seconds, and stepping on the accelerator for one more second can produce huge impact energy.
In this accident, there was also a heart-warming scene. When the villagers learned that the people in their village had been in a car accident, the local village cadres issued a notice in the village in time, saying that a large amount of blood was needed to save the injured for first aid, and called on everyone to donate blood for free. The villagers responded one after another, actively dedicating their love, showing a strong human touch.
The accident has attracted a lot of attention and discussion on the Internet. On the one hand, everyone expressed sympathy for the casualties and their families in the accident, hoped that the injured would recover as soon as possible, and hoped that the police would find out the cause of the accident as soon as possible and give an explanation to the families of the deceased. On the other hand, there is also a heated discussion about whether Xiaomi cars have problems such as speeding and braking. The safety performance of automobiles has always been the focus of public attention, and every traffic accident will trigger people to think deeply about vehicle safety and driving norms.
From a vehicle safety perspective, automakers must prioritize safety performance when designing and producing vehicles. Safety features such as the vehicle's braking system and airbags are crucial.
If the vehicle does have braking problems, then this is not only a huge safety hazard for the owner, but also a potential threat to other pedestrians and vehicles on the road. For Xiaomi Auto, although it may have many bright spots in terms of technology and other aspects, the safety performance cannot be sloppy.
In terms of driving regulations, drivers need to strictly follow the traffic rules when driving on the road. Speeding not only violates traffic laws, but also is one of the important causes of traffic accidents.
Even in the event of an emergency, such as the sudden appearance of an electric vehicle, the driver may be able to respond more effectively and reduce the severity of the accident if he or she can drive within the speed limit. At the same time, the driver's emergency response in the event of an emergency is also crucial. Proper emergency operations reduce the risk of accidents, while wrong operations can lead to more serious consequences.
In the age of the Internet, information spreads rapidly, and such accidents can quickly become known to the public. Netizens expressed their views and opinions through various channels, which also prompted relevant departments to pay more attention to such incidents and actively deal with and respond to social concerns.
For automobile companies, they should also pay attention to consumer feedback and public opinion, continuously improve products, and improve the safety performance of vehicles. At the same time, drivers should also learn from it, enhance safety awareness, and standardize driving behavior. Only in this way can we reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents and ensure road traffic safety.
Next, we can continue to explore some technical issues about the response of smart cars to unexpected situations. Today's cars are becoming more and more intelligent, but in the actual road driving, in the face of situations such as sudden electric vehicles, can the intelligent assisted driving system play its due role?
In this accident, is the Xiaomi Su7 equipped with the relevant intelligent warning or emergency brake assist system? If so, why didn't it help to avoid accidents or reduce their severity? These are all questions that deserve to be explored in depth.
From the perspective of road traffic safety management, how to strengthen the management of non-motorized vehicles such as electric vehicles on the road is also an important topic. It is not uncommon for electric vehicles to cross the road at will, which not only poses a safety risk to themselves, but also poses a threat to other vehicles that are driving normally.
Should the relevant authorities increase the rectification of electric vehicle violations, and at the same time strengthen the safety education of electric vehicle drivers? In addition, is there any room for improvement in the planning and design of roads? For example, whether the location of the bus stop is reasonable, whether the protective effect of isolating the green belt is sufficient, and so on.
With the continuous development of technology, the automotive industry is constantly changing. New energy vehicles and smart cars are gradually popular, but at the same time, safety issues are becoming increasingly prominent. We hope that through the attention and discussion of this Xiaomi Su7 accident in Xi'an, more people can pay attention to road traffic safety, and take measures from all aspects to jointly create a safe and orderly traffic environment.
Car manufacturers, drivers, and traffic authorities should all take responsibility for ensuring the safety of everyone. It is believed that with everyone's joint attention and efforts, the road traffic safety situation in the future can be effectively improved. We also hope that the police will release the results of the investigation into the accident as soon as possible, so that the truth can be revealed. At the same time, I hope that the mother of the injured person can recover as soon as possible and return to normal life.
Let's take a closer look at the development of automotive technology. Many of today's cars are equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, etc. Xiaomi Su7 is a car that is in the spotlight, and it is worth studying whether these systems of its play a role in this accident.
If the system is equipped but it doesn't work, is it a system failure or something else? Was it because the situation was beyond the system's ability to respond, or was there a design flaw in the system itself? In addition, from the perspective of the power performance of the car, the strong power performance not only brings driving pleasure to the driver, but also puts forward higher requirements for driving safety. For a car like the Xiaomi Su7 that accelerates to 100 km/h in just over 3 seconds, it is a challenge to accurately control the speed and direction of the vehicle in an emergency. Drivers need to have higher driving skills and emergency response capabilities.
