It was only one day after the news of "Asking the M5 Smart Driving Edition to Ride BYD Dolphin". On November 14th, another video of an accident with the M5 was circulated on the Internet.
According to the image of the vehicle driving recorder circulated on the Internet, at about 9: 29 am on November 14th, an M5 car was driving normally on the two-way four-lane pavement on the left, with a speed of about 60-80 km/h.. A minute later, at 9: 30, a construction vehicle suddenly appeared in front of the road, and a truck suspected of asphalt was towed, but no warning signs were set in front of the construction vehicle.I saw the video car directly hit the trailer.
It can be seen from the live pictures circulated on the Internet that the two airbags in front of the M5 all popped up, and the engine compartment was seriously damaged. However, no obvious deformation was found in the A-pillar. According to the netizen who broke the news, the driver opened "assisted driving" and "Huawei directly towed the car away" after the accident.
Is it the fault of Huawei’s wisdom?

Ask M5, intelligent driver or mentally retarded?
As of press time, Weibo, the official of AITO Auto, has not made any response to this matter.
In response to this accident, netizens are also "noisy".
The questioning netizens think:
Why didn’t AEB work at that time?
Didn’t you say you were far ahead?
Didn’t Yu Dazui say that "it’s hard to hit if you want to"?
Q: The M5 driver’s assistance was turned on, but it still failed to recognize the obstacles ahead, and it was badly hit. So do you still believe in the NB boasting of car companies?
On the other side, netizens think:
"Look at the picture and you will know that this is not a smart version, and there is no lidar."
This is the "Bosch", which belongs to the retarded version.
It’s two different things that it’s difficult to crash and it’s impossible to crash, and this is the old M5, which has no intelligent driving ability at all.
However, according to the blogger "New Car Tribe" on the afternoon of 15th, it was revealed that:AITO automobile has paid attention to this matter.The vehicle is 22 models of M5 EV.Before the collision, the vehicle turned on the auxiliary driving, and the early warning and AEB were triggered normally, which minimized the impact caused by the collision and did not cause personal injury.
According to this response, the accident vehicle is a standard version, not equipped with lidar, not a smart driving version.According to netizens, this car may use Bosch’s "ACC adaptive cruise control system".
According to the data, the function of ACC system is developed on the basis of the traditional cruise control device. The difference is that cruise control can only limit the speed, and the steering wheel and brakes need to be controlled by the driver, while ACC can better help the driver coordinate the steering wheel and brakes.Using ACC can free the driver’s feet to a certain extent, but his hands can’t leave the steering wheel.
Judging from the video of this accident, the driver has no obvious "takeover action", and there is no obvious "braking action".
No wonder some netizens questioned that this is "opening the mentally retarded version as a smart driving version"?
Coincidentally, on November 13th, a collision accident involving the M5 version riding on BYD Dolphin caused widespread concern. At the Liaobu User Center in Dongguan, a test drive of Huawei’s M5 Smart Driving Edition suddenly accelerated when reversing, then quickly hit the BYD dolphin in the rear and finally "rode" on the dolphin.
On the evening of November 13th, Yu Chengdong made an emergency response: the customer mistakenly stepped on the accelerator as a brake when reversing, resulting in hitting the rear car. Regarding the non-intervention of AEB function, Yu Chengdong said that after communicating with the ADS team and quality, the vehicle backward emergency braking did not recognize the stationary vehicle, and it was clearly marked in the manual.Therefore, the cause of the accident is that the customer mistakenly stepped on the wrong accelerator pedal.
The accident was also wrongly rated by netizens as a "win-win", BYD has "hard strength against truth" and the world is "all-round crushing".

Why are there many questions about "smart driving"?
There have been two accidents in succession. From the comments of netizens, it can be found that some consumers have begun to question "smart driving".
For example, when Dongguan Liaobu reversed its car, many users will immediately think of the sentence that Yu Chengdong once mentioned-"It’s hard to hit it". In fact, this is for the new M7. At that time, Huawei released the "omni-directional anti-collision system", which can identify all obstacles in the rear and take the initiative to stop.At that time, Yu Chengdong even shouted the words "It’s hard to reverse and hit".
However, users only remember that "it’s hard to hit" and don’t deeply understand its limitations.
It is reported that the "omni-directional anti-collision system" supported by Huawei ADS 2.0 is not "omnipotent" and has many limitations. For example, the backward emergency braking of the vehicle does not recognize the stationary vehicle; For example, the driver is stepping on the accelerator pedal, brake pedal or turning the steering wheel sharply; There is a large vehicle behind the vehicle, which blocks the detection area of the radar or camera of the vehicle.
For example, the test drive accident of Dongguan Wenjie M5 Zhijia Edition does not belong to the scene contained in "It is difficult to hit it". In addition, many netizens don’t know that the 22 models of M5EV only have adaptive cruise function.
Huawei’s advanced intelligent assisted driving system "Huawei ADS 2.0" was released on April 16th this year. The first model is AITO Wenjie M5 Smart Driving Edition. After the actual measurement of many media, this system has indeed improved a lot, "comparable to the old driver." Then, on September 12th, M7 was launched, the average price was lowered by 38,000, and there was a smart driving version, which only ignited the enthusiasm of consumers.On October 6th, the circle of friends in Yu Chengdong announced that the number of new M7s would exceed 50,000, and said with emotion, "It’s not easy to come back to life!"
As the manufacturer of M5 and M7, the share price of Cyrus has also achieved a "shocking reversal". Since the bottom in June, the share price has risen as high as 280%. The increase is also "far ahead" among all automakers.
Therefore, at present, some consumers have too high "expectations" for Huawei’s smart driving, and once something goes wrong, they will have doubts. In practice, some drivers rely too much on assisted driving.

Intelligent driving is more prone to accidents?
L2+ is more prone to accidents?
A few days ago, at the 2023 China Automobile Software Conference hosted by China Automobile Industry Association, Zhu Xichan, a professor at Tongji University Automobile College, publicly said: What we think of as the ADAS function with low technical level is safe, because no one regards it as autonomous driving.On the contrary, L2+ intelligent driving is easier for consumers to relax their vigilance. They may be distracted, play with their mobile phones or even lie down to sleep. It is this L2+ stage of "one bottle is dissatisfied and half a bottle is swaying" that is more prone to accidents.
Take "Huawei ADS 2.0" as an example. Even though it claims to be infinitely close to L3, its essence is L2. The core feature of L2 is to release hands and feet, but not eyes.
L2 driver assistance represents an advanced driver assistance system, which gives the vehicle the ability to automatically perform acceleration, deceleration and steering operations. howeverCompared with fully automatic driving technology, L2 still needs the real-time driver.Ability to monitor and prepare to take over vehicles.
Take the crash on 14th as an example. According to L2′ s operation specification, the driver should be able to see the engineering work vehicle stopped in front and take over the vehicle in time, such as stepping on the brakes. Of course, it may be illegal for the engineering vehicle in the video not to put warning signs in the coming direction.
Judging from the current law, if an accident is caused by using the driver assistance function, the driver is still the subject to bear the responsibility.
Take the Regulations on the Administration of Intelligent Networked Vehicles in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone as an example, which stipulates: "If an intelligent networked vehicle equipped with a driver commits a traffic violation, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall punish the driver according to law; If a traffic accident occurs and one party of the intelligent networked vehicle is responsible, the driver of the vehicle shall bear the corresponding liability for damages; If a traffic accident is caused by the quality defect of the intelligent networked car, the driver can recover from the manufacturer and seller of the intelligent networked car after assuming the liability for damages according to law. "
Zhu Xichan said that L2+ intelligent driving is between L2 and L3, and the boundary is often blurred. Enterprises are only willing to bear the product responsibility of "assisted driving", but radical consumers may regard L2+ intelligent driving as L3.
Therefore, at this stage, all assisted driving and intelligent driving need the driver’s full attention to be ready to take over the car at any time. Excessive reliance on technology, on the one hand, improves the probability of accidents, and on the other hand, bears the main responsibility for accidents.
Finally, Zhu Xichan suggested that the certification of L3 high-grade autopilot needs to be promoted rapidly to solve the safety problem.
