[Original by Dongchedi Industry] According to foreign media reports, Tesla has obtained the highest safety rating among global automotive safety agencies, but now, these results are questioned.
Recently, Tesla hacker and software expert "Greentheonly" (nicknamed "Greentheonly") broke the news on Twitter that Tesla added codes involving collision testing institutions to treat various institutions differently. He speculated that this was to adapt to the testing standards of institutions. Although he emphasized that it was not accusing Tesla of "cheating", there were also related problems.
It is reported that relevant Australian agencies have begun to investigate the matter.

According to "Green God", he found some different content from Tesla's code, including codes related to vehicle testing centers such as ANCAP (Australia New Car Safety Evaluation Organization), I-VISTA (China Automobile Research China Smart Car Index), EuroNCAP ( European New Car Safety Evaluation Association ), Korea NCAP (Korea New Car Safety Evaluation Association) and other vehicle testing centers.
"Green God" said that he found a different code from Tesla's code
. In this regard, he suspected that Tesla set up special codes for vehicles (the code contains the name of the test organization) for these test institutions, and may adjust the settings so that better results can be achieved in the test.
In addition, "Green God" also mentioned that the code changes here are only related to ADAS advanced assisted driving system and have nothing to do with collision testing; and emphasized that they just want to know why Tesla wants to set up distinguishable code.

It is reported that if the code that activates the security system can determine that an accident is about to occur, then any vehicle will not perform too badly in the safety test, and it may give it enough extra time to improve the way the airbag is opened and other functions.
According to foreign media reports, ANCAP has now stated to the media that they already know about this matter and have launched an investigation into it, but so far, Tesla has not responded to the code.
