is as good as water official account, Lin Wenqin is the founder of the good water investment management company, founder of the world wide food management company, and founder of a good brand management company. Lin Wenqin (nicknamed "Meng swordsman") is a young talent and social elite, which is the standard customer image of Weilai automobile < p > surprisingly, in this short obituary, Weilai es8 and its auxiliary driving function were emphasized. On August 14, the reporter of the Economic Observer network interviewed Zheng Fei (a pseudonym) for the first time. He was one of the condolence contacts in Lin Wenqin's obituary and claimed to be Lin Wenqin's "good brother in life and good partner in career" < p > "Wenqin is an accident caused by the rear end collision of the high-speed maintenance construction vehicle in front of the system when driving Weilai es8 and using automatic driving (function) Zheng Fei told reporters. He also analyzed that Weilai es8 and its NOP assisted driving function were the direct causes of Lin Wenqin's fatal accident. However, since there was no formal accident report, this reason cannot be confirmed at present < p > at present, the incident is still under investigation. In view of the accident, the reporter of economic observation network interviewed Weilai automobile at the same time, but as of press time, no reply was received < p > but one thing is worth noting. In the past eight months, there have been three major traffic accidents on Weilai automobile on Shenhai expressway. It's like being under some kind of "spell". Moreover, at least two accidents are confirmed to have enabled NOP function < p > is it just an accident behind the high-frequency accidents on the same high-speed, or is the complex road conditions and large traffic flow of Shenhai high-speed itself leading to the misjudgment of Weilai auxiliary driving system? This has become a matter that must be clarified. Because this involves not only the judgment of accident responsibility itself, but also the most critical safety risk of domestic automatic driving technology. After all, Shenhai is not the only Expressway with complex road conditions in China < p > party concerned: before the incident, NOP confirmed that < / P > < p > "at that time (Lin) Wenqin really turned on the automatic driving function. Zhang Bo, the regional head of Fujian Minnan of Weilai company, personally confirmed with the handling police in the Putian Expressway detachment Office of the traffic Police Corps of Fujian Provincial Public Security Department that the car owner used automatic driving at that time." Zheng Fei told the economic observer < p > generally speaking, smart car manufacturers can monitor the condition of vehicles in the background. Zheng Fei said that because there was only Lin Wenqin in the car, "the staff of Weilai automobile company informed us after the accident." < p > ZHENG Fei also told reporters that he had the evidence that Wei Lai admitted that NOP was opened before the incident, "but now the case is still in the investigation stage and the traffic police have not disclosed it, so it's inconvenient to disclose it to you." Zheng Fei said < p > the "automatic driving function" of Weilai automobile in Zheng Fei's mouth refers to NOP (navigation on pilot), which is a new function launched by Weilai automobile in 2020. According to the official introduction of Weilai, after the NOP function is turned on, the driver can hand over the authority to the vehicle as much as possible according to the demand, so that the vehicle can automatically take over driving according to the navigation distance. Wei Lai said that NOP is the only system in the world that can realize the automatic driving assistance function according to the navigation path after Tesla < p > specifically, after the NOP function is turned on, Weilai vehicles can realize the functions of automatically adjusting the speed on the ramp, identifying vehicles and turning on the light to change lanes into the main road. In the main road cruising state, it can automatically turn on the light, change lanes and overtake the slow train in combination with the road environment and high-precision map information. When it is necessary to switch between high-speed / elevated, the NOP system can automatically change lanes to the right, automatically adjust the speed and select lanes, and complete a complete set of automatic driving assistance functions < p > however, from the perspective of recognized professional technology in the automotive field, velai NOP is L2 level automatic driving, which can only be called assisted driving. In this case, according to national regulations, drivers are not allowed to leave the steering wheel with both hands for a long time. However, some public information on the network shows that some car owners and even the senior management of Weilai have shown the driving state of leaving the steering wheel with both hands in public videos. In these video comments, a large number of netizens have pointed out that this practice will over publicize NOP and mislead car owners. However, it is unclear whether the driver's hands were separated from the steering wheel at the time of the accident < p > "NOP must be on. Whether it is caused by automatic driving is still under investigation, and the traffic police have not issued the final determination." Zheng Fei told the economic observer < p > Weilai "Curse" of Shenhai Expressway < / P > < p > before the Lin Wenqin accident, Weilai had two consecutive accidents on Shenhai expressway < p > in January this year, a Weilai es8 rear ended at Shenhai Expressway and a Wuling Hongguang parked at the inner lane. According to public reports, the NiO pilot autopilot was started at that time. A mobile phone video uploaded by a driver showed that the main driver of Weilai es8 crashed into the road guardrail, the left wheel fell off, the half axle of the vehicle was broken, and the front part was seriously damaged. Fortunately, the accident did not cause casualties < p > only one month before the incident, in December 2020, at the 2km position of Fujian Jingyang of Shenhai expressway, a Weilai es8 vehicle hit the trailer in front of it, and the whole front of the vehicle got stuck in the tail of the trailer, which was squeezed, deformed and broken. The driver was trapped in the vehicle and was seriously injured. Then the firefighters who rushed to the vehicle successfully rescued him. According to media reports, there was no obvious braking trace before the vehicle collision. There is no public information on whether the Weilai es8 driven by the owner was using automatic assisted driving at that time < p > if the Lin Wenqin accident is added, three safety accidents have occurred in Weilai Shenyang Haikou Expressway in eight months < p > Baidu map shows that by the end of 2020, the accident site of Weilai's car owner is only about 50 kilometers away from the Hanjiang section of the Lin Wenqin accident. What's special about automatic driving and Shenhai Expressway? Are all three accidents accidental < p > the reporter found that Shen Hai expressway is indeed famous, but the reason for its popularity is nothing else ?
