After drinking, driving with the vehicle's autonomous driving function is not a drunk driving? In the middle of the night on July 29, a traffic accident occurred near the Furti of the Xixi Wetland Scenic Area in Hangzhou. It was a bit strange that the owner said that he was "sitting on the co -pilot."

What is the situation?

At more than 10 pm on the 29th, a loud noise suddenly came from the Furti of the Xixi Wetland Scenic Area in Hangzhou.

At this time, in the Xixi Fire Rescue Station camp near the scene, a voice similar to "vibration" was also heard. The deputy webmaster Huang Zongyan felt a little abnormal.

"So late, in the scenic area, the sound is so loud, it feels wrong."

Huang Zongyan and several players are ready to check out. Outside the fire rescue station, there were no people on the road, and there were almost no cars.

Where does the sound come from?

Huang Zongyan noticed that the south side of the fire rescue station, that is, on the right side of the house, seemed to be 20 meters away, there seemed to be a white car.

"But the white car is very strange. It feels like something is hit. The car is inclined." At this time, Huang Zongyan and the team members noticed that there was a man next to the car. The man was 30 years old and stood by the road.

"When I walked nearby, I found that it was a white Tesla. The car hit the street light and drove on the roadside rest chair." Huang Zongyan and the team members walked to the man and asked if the car was him? The man nodded.

"He seems to be scared too."

At this moment, Huang Zongyan smelled the man's wine.

"We first checked the car, ruled out the risk of spontaneous combustion, and then asked the man what was going on?" Huang Zongyan said that the man also cooperated and said that he hit the street light pole.

At this point, a auxiliary policeman also rushed over.

"We alert the scene and set up a mobile lighting warning around the vehicle." The rescuer said that the man also reported the police himself.

Later, the traffic police also arrived at the scene.

According to the man, Tesla was his own, eating in Xixi Wetland at night, and drinking during the period. The man told the rescuer that after drinking, he called for driving and was ready to let Tesla go home. "Later, he said that he couldn't get in at the north gate of Xixi Wetland, so he was ready to drive himself."

According to the man, at that time, he was on the co -pilot, using the vehicle's autonomous driving function to the north gate, and hit the street light to the roadside seat during the autonomous driving of the vehicle, causing the accident.

"The man and the traffic police also said the same. The traffic police recorded it. The traffic police told the man that the situation you said was truthfully recorded that whether it was true to investigate."

After that, the traffic police conducted an alcohol test on the men.

"Later, the traffic police took the man to the hospital for blood testing, and the car was dragged away."

According to the man, he was sitting in the co -driver at the time, so he could turn on the autonomous driving function?

In the afternoon, the reporter contacted the Tesla Hangzhou service center. The other party said that at present Tesla's domestic sales are all automatic driving of L2 level.

"The automatic assistance of L2 levels actually requires manual intervention. People must sit in the driving seat. If there is an emergency, people need to take over. It is impossible to turn on this function and ignore anything."

For example, if the automatic auxiliary driving system is turned on, if the vehicle determines that the driver leaves the steering wheel with both hands, a warning voice will be issued every other time. If you do not hold your hands on the steering wheel for a long time, the vehicle may automatically cancel the system.

A staff member of the center said that Tesla, which is sold in China, currently has only L2 -level automatic assistance driving, and has a higher level of L3, L4, and L5 abroad.

Can people start autonomous driving if people sit on the co -pilot?

The staff member replied that the car could not move.

At present, the specific situation needs to be further verified by the traffic police.

Fire reminds that there are many people in Xixi Wetland and narrow roads. Driving vehicles pay attention to the speed of the vehicle and view the surrounding situation. Do not drive after drinking.
