Tesla is driving China's first collision! Failed to recognize the car ahead


According to media reports, a Sina microblogging user named Qunar_Ronaldo recently issued a document saying that he drove the new Tesla Model S sedan in an autopilot mode and did not recognise the parking of the front inside lane. Santana, the system thought that obstacles in front of the immediate acceleration, and finally hit the right rear side of the car, fortunately no casualties.

According to Qunar Ronaldo, he found through video that the Tesla’s automatic driving system had at least 5 seconds of reaction time before the crash, but it did not recognize the black Santana at this time.

Afterwards, Qunar Ronaldo wrote that Tesla’s automatic driving system technology is not mature and there are various BUGs. Its contents are as follows:

It's okay to tell a story to an investor with an immature technology, but you abuse it as a marketing gimmick. That's wrong. You can advertise your technical content, but you should not continue to strengthen this concept in the sales cycle. Moreover, the optional automatic driving kit requires an extra 20,000 yuan.

In May of this year, similar accidents happened abroad in the Tesla Model S. According to foreign media reports, a Tesla Model S with an automatic driving mode was ready to speed up after the vehicle in front of the vehicle changed course, but failed to find another truck in a failed car that occupied half of the driving lane. Hit it up.

For these two anecdotes, Tesla has so far failed to give details on why the autopilot system sometimes cannot identify obstacles.

According to industry analysts, the current autopilot technology is still not perfect, and it is far from meeting the complex traffic environment in real time. Through these accidents, it can be inferred that there may be a blind spot in the sensors of the Tesla front part, and the vehicle cannot recognize obstacles within a certain range of angles.
