Chinanews client, Beijing, August 15 (Reporter Zhang Xu) Recently, Wei Lai may not have thought that he would be followed because of a car accident.
On the 14th, the official account of "MeiYiHao" issued an obituary stating that on the afternoon of August 12, Lin Wenqin (nickname "Mengjianke", founder of Shangshan Ruoshui Investment Management Co., Ltd. "), after driving a Weilai ES8 car to enable the automatic driving function (NOP pilot state), a traffic accident occurred in the Hanjiang section of the Shenhai Expressway, and unfortunately passed away at the age of 31.
Meiyihao issued an obituary.
Car owner APP driving data: there was a sudden acceleration
The driving data provided by Lin Wenqin's friend Mr. Zheng showed that Lin Wenqin's last driving mileage was 85 kilometers, total time was 113 minutes, average speed was 45.1 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed was 114.6 kilometers per hour (speed limit 120 kilometers per hour).
The NP mileage is 72 kilometers, the total time of using the NIO Pilot automatic assisted driving function is 48 minutes, and the pilot assist mileage is 68 kilometers, and the time is 44 minutes.
During the entire journey, there was only one rapid acceleration, and no rapid deceleration.

What is the difference between NP and pilot assist?
Automotive analyst Zhang Xiang told Chinanews that NP is NIO’s driving assistance function, and pilot driving is a combination of navigation and driving assistance.
"From a technical analysis, NP belongs to the L2 level driving assistance function, and the pilot assistance belongs to the L3 level. The industry believes that the L1 and L2 driving assistance are controlled by the driver. The driver above L3 is only an assistance. In the event of a car accident, the car company It is a responsibility. This may be why Weilai did not promote it."
Mr. Zheng said that the traffic police is investigating and the accident identification certificate has not yet been released.
Zhang Xiang told reporters that to analyze the cause of the accident, more information needs to be disclosed.
"If NIO can publish the background data, such as the one minute before the accident, we can know the specific cause of the accident, such as whether the brake pedal has been depressed, and the current APP data can't analyze more information."

Weilai founder Li Bin responded to the incident: very sad
In the WeChat applet "Nio", the user "Zhang Bo-Xiamen", who was marked as the owner of the ES8 Genesis Edition, posted a message saying that Mr. Lin Wenqin, a NIO user, drove a vehicle and crashed into a working engineering vehicle on the Hanjiang section of Shenhai Expressway. Unfortunately, they were very sad about this.
The user also stated that they are cooperating with local traffic police and other relevant departments in the accident investigation and will assist the user's family in the aftermath.
Below the article, Li Bin, the founder, chairman and CEO of Weilai, said that he was very sad that such an outstanding young entrepreneur had passed away.
Qin Lihong, co-founder and president of NIO, also left a message to mourn.
Weilai founder Li Bin left a message.
However, Weilai has not yet publicly responded to the accident.
Expert: Driving assistance ≠ automatic driving
Regarding the accident, Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the Passenger Association, said that whether automatic driving or manual driving, some accidents are unavoidable due to various accidents or interference factors, and automatic driving is better than manual driving in most environments. Quickly judge environmental changes and prevent accidents.
Cui Dongshu said: "The biggest problem at present is that consumers are insufficiently aware of the risks of autonomous driving. When autonomous driving is not yet fully mature, it is risky to over-trust autonomous driving. Enterprises have the responsibility to inform consumers that autonomous driving has not yet replaced manual driving. Driving, the driver must take over control of the vehicle at any time."
On July 10th, at the Yuntu Technology Autonomous Driving Calibration and Maintenance Center in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, staff commissioned L4 autonomous vehicles.

It is worth noting that on August 12, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Management of Intelligent Networked Automobile Manufacturers and Product Access."
The “Guiding Opinions” put forward that if companies produce auto products with autonomous driving functions, they should ensure that the auto products meet at least four requirements: including the ability to automatically identify the failure of the autopilot system and whether they continue to meet the design operating conditions, and take risk mitigation measures In order to achieve the minimum risk state;
It shall have the function of human-computer interaction and display the operating status of the automatic driving system;
It shall have an event data recording system and an automatic driving data recording system to meet relevant functional, performance and safety requirements for accident reconstruction, responsibility determination and cause analysis, etc.;
It should meet the process assurance requirements of functional safety, expected functional safety, network security, etc., as well as test requirements such as simulation, closed site, actual road, network security, software upgrades, data recording, etc., to avoid predictable and predictable vehicle operating conditions. Prevented safety accidents.
Cui Dongshu emphasized that the current autonomous driving has problems such as excessive publicity and consumer misunderstandings. For unsafe driving behaviors, stronger reminders and other measures are needed to circumvent it.
Zhang Xiang also said: "Theoretically, L3 level autonomous driving can maintain safety in a highway environment, but the technology is not mature enough. Drivers must stay focused and avoid unsafe driving behaviors while driving." (Finish)
