On June 23, the topic " NIO was revealed to have rushed out of the headquarters building and fell" became a hot search topic. Live footage leaked on the Internet showed that firefighters were dismantling a severely damaged car under a tall building and conducting rescue operations.
The latest news is that two test drivers of NIO have unfortunately passed away. This is currently the largest industry casualty case among domestic new energy vehicle companies.
As the leader of domestic new energy car companies, Weilai has such a bizarre "rollover incident", which can't help but surprise the outside world. However, what is even more surprising is Weilai’s official response and handling of this matter.
Faced with the tragedy of the death of two employees, NIO took an understatement, without in-depth review and introspection. Instead, it emphasized in the subsequent statement that "this was an accident and had nothing to do with the vehicle itself."
As soon as these words came out, netizens were shocked, and NIO’s image took another turn.
When everyone condemned this cold-blooded statement, NIO quietly edited the statement and changed the controversial sentence to "This was an accident (not caused by a vehicle).
A company , when has an accident with its product , it is of course normal to want to stop the bleeding as soon as possible and restore the reputation of its own product. However, as a party to the accident, it is too foolish for the company to abdicate all its responsibilities. Urgent.
After all, you cannot be your own judge. This is basic common sense in a society governed by the rule of law.
Therefore, whether NIO crashed at high altitude and whether there was any problem with the vehicle itself should be concluded by an authoritative third-party investigation. NIO What we need to do at this time is to cooperate with the investigation, reflect deeply, mourn the deceased, and make every effort to comfort their families.
From a common sense point of view, NIO has twice been eager to distance itself from its relationship with the accident. This is untenable. Stop it.
Weilai Automobile conducted tests on the headquarters building. Although the law does not prohibit this, as a responsible car company, it should have considered the prevention and control of various accident risks beforehand. Not to mention the car falling from a high altitude , even if the car breaks a piece of building glass, it may bring fatal danger to pedestrians downstairs.
Judging from the fact that the NIO car rushed out of the building without any obstruction, it is obviously doubtful whether NIO's relevant safety measures are sufficient. .
Including whether the vehicle testing process is rigorous, whether the experience and qualifications of the on-duty personnel are strong, whether the test vehicle has relevant emergency equipment (such as emergency stop buttons), and whether the safety facilities of the test track are in place (such as setting up anti-collision fences of sufficient strength) ) and so on .
The above are the focus of the problem, but Weilai’s official statement avoids mentioning this, which makes people feel that this place has no silver.
Cars appeared in the test session Security vulnerabilities are by no means a trivial matter. What they reflect behind them is a kind of corporate security culture , and a company's security culture is, in the final analysis, whether a company takes human life seriously.
I really can't imagine it. A company that does not take the lives of its employees seriously will take the lives of its customers seriously. If life above all else becomes a corporate culture, it should be reflected in all details of corporate management.
Mr. Hu Shi once satirized in the article "Mr. Almost Mr. " that the Chinese people always have a mentality of "just enough", and this is often the case in matters where human life is at stake.
Compared with the caution and carefulness of foreign companies in safety, it has to be said that some domestic companies lack a rigorous safety culture, and this is also the root cause of frequent accidents.
In recent years, new car-making forces such as "Wei Xiaoli" have become very popular. The marketing of these companies has become more and more astonishing. Some company showrooms are as luxurious as luxury stores.
But how much investment and energy have these companies put into invisible product safety? What is hidden behind the various accidents and safety doubts that have been revealed by these car companies before?
If a company lacks respect for life, lacks reflection and humility, it is better to stay away from the products of this company.
