IT Home March 18th news Recently, the incident of "a Mercedes-Benz car running out of control at high speed, and the speed of 120 toll station" flooded the Internet. On the evening of March 14, on the Lianhuo Expressway from Henan to Shaanxi, a Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan lost control after starting the cruise control of the fixed speed, and could not slow down or stop, and could only continue to speed at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour. The traffic police opened a life passage for him. The owner passed the toll station safely. After running for an hour, the owner finally reduced the speed by opening the door and untied the seat belt and successfully braked.
As this "Chinese version of life and death speed" gradually fermented, various doubts also came. As for the rumored online "Mercedes-Benz's backend operation turned off cruise control", Mercedes-Benz immediately responded that "there is no such technology." On the other hand, some people question the car owner's self-direction and acting.
Regarding this matter, yesterday afternoon, the long article "the best driver and the best writing among writers" Han Han shared his views. Han Han first questioned "cannot brake". Although most modern vehicles are electronic throttle and electronic brakes, in terms of brakes, electronic signals are only responsible for assist pump , and their feet can still push the hydraulic choke brake disc , which is nothing more than no help.
Secondly, even if the road conditions of China's expressways are at night, it takes 120 at a constant speed, and you don't encounter many cars in parallel within an hour, which really requires a lot of luck. In addition, the vehicle is stuck in the cruise 120, and the gear shifting brake throttle is useless, but the steering wheel can be used freely with power, which is also very strange.
Han Han thinks this is strange and must carefully inspect the vehicle. If the vehicle is indeed stuck in the end, the 120 cannot brake, I am willing to apologize to the owner. Finally, Han Han emphasized that the motives of car owners will not be conspiracy theory, and everything will be subject to the test results and the traffic police's video investigation. Say it again, if you are wrong, you are willing to apologize publicly.
In addition, Chehejia CEO and founder of Autohome Li Xiang also shared the same view: the Mercedes-Benz incident was like a nervous driver, making up stories against drunk reporters.
Han Han's full text is as follows:
I will say a few more words about that out of control Mercedes-Benz. First of all, I have to thank the traffic management department for their quick response and seriousness and responsibility, and secondly, I have to be glad that the car owner is fine. There are many doubts in the whole matter, and there are many versions. Sometimes it is said that Mercedes-Benz remotely locks the car, sometimes it is said that the owner opens the door and slows down, sometimes it is said that the car is towed away to test, and sometimes it is said that the owner continues to use it. These may be the one who performed it when the reporter described it, or it may be that the owner casually said to different media, and we will take the latest version as the basis. The latest version of
is that the owner starts the cruise and sets the speed. The vehicle is locked at 120, unable to accelerate, slow down, and cannot brake. The traffic police opened a life channel for him. The owner passed the toll station safely. After running for an hour, the owner finally reduced the speed by opening the door and untied the seat belt and braked successfully. The owner continued to drive to Chengdu at low speed, and the vehicle is still in use.
I have some questions. First of all, although most modern vehicles have electronic throttle and electronic brakes, in terms of brakes, electronic signals are only responsible for the power pump, and their feet can still push the hydraulic choke the brake disc, which is nothing more than having power. Most men can step on vehicles without brake support, and some old-school professional drivers just don’t like brake support. This is a logic of vehicle design. Brake physics is preferred, not unique to Mercedes-Benz, everyone is like this. If the brakes completely fail, it only means that the brake system is physically broken. The most common example is that the brake oil pipe is broken. This is usually irreversible. It is unlikely that the car will get better again in the end and can continue to use it.
Second, the road conditions of China's expressways, even if you drive at four lanes at night, you have to drive at a constant speed of 120, and you don't encounter many cars in parallel within an hour, which really requires a lot of luck. Many friends who say that there are few empty cars on the road, you can drive only a few minutes or more than ten kilometers, which is not the same as an hour or more than one hundred kilometers. In short, this is very difficult.
Third, the traffic management department is serious and responsible, and empty the toll station and lanes for car owners. But the speed at which the vehicle exits the highway toll port is not as fast as 120 kilometers per hour. Personally, I feel that it is around 80.
fourth, the vehicle is stuck in cruise 120, the gear shifting brake throttle is useless, but the steering wheel can be used freely with power, which is also strange.
Fifth, facing a vehicle that can only drive 120 and cannot stop, the owner of the car died for a lifetime, went through all kinds of difficulties, finally escaped death, and finally stopped. Shouldn't he immediately assist the police in sealing the evidence and negotiating with the manufacturer? How could he continue to drive to Chengdu to attend the meeting, and he is still in use. I wouldn't dare to do it.
To sum up, I think this is very strange and we must carefully inspect the vehicle. If the vehicle is indeed stuck in the end, the 120 cannot brake, I am willing to apologize to the owner.
I suggest that the traffic management department along the road carefully look at the road monitoring and speed measurement, or check the interval speed measurement to see if the car owner has accelerated and decelerated within this hour and whether it really maintains 120. I suspect that the cruise may not be cancelled at one point, but the speed of the vehicle is controllable. The owner exaggerated and interpreted a considerable part of the content.
In addition, I also recommend that the traffic management department must not allow such a car that runs for 120 hours and cannot brake on the road. Even if the owner is very skilled and brave, he is willing to continue driving, in order to protect the safety of the owner and the general public, we cannot let it drive on the road. No one can guarantee that this is the issue of cruise speed. What if the city suddenly breaks again, it will become a shell. Such vehicles should be regarded as major weapons of destruction and pose a major threat to public safety. Regardless of whether the owner is willing or not, they must be towed away immediately for strict inspection. If you do not trust Mercedes-Benz, you can inspect it by third parties. During the inspection period, Mercedes-Benz should provide the car owner with a backup vehicle. It is recommended to lock the drive wheels on the trailer to prevent the vehicle from suddenly evacuating again.
Finally, I want to say, I am not a floor washing for Mercedes-Benz, and Mercedes-Benz's public relations cannot afford this money. My Mercedes-Benz S65's ABC pump is broken and I'm still claiming compensation. I also don’t conspiracy theory about the motives of the car owner. Everything is subject to the test results and the traffic police’s video investigation. Again, if it is wrong, I am willing to apologize publicly.
