Tesla: Model S and Model 3 both hit

[Focus] Although Tesla is currently a "benchmark" company for pure electric rims, its "smartness" of the Autopilot Autopilot Assist System has been questioned. Recently, another series of explosions occurred. Each user had hit the Model S and Model 3 while using Autopilot!

On January 22nd, when a Tesla Model S opened the Autopilot Autopilot Assist System, the “self” and a fire engine had a rear-end collision in the United States, and the front of the vehicle almost completely destroyed. Then, also in the United States, a Tesla Model 3 crashed into a traffic light when using the Autopilot Autopilot Assist System, which had a serious depression in the front of the vehicle. Tesla has long been proud of its purely electric drive and Autopilot's autopilot technology. In particular, Autopilot integrates advanced cruise control and automatic steering, allowing drivers to release the steering wheel in both hands under certain conditions, but Tesla also emphasizes the user. When using this feature, you should pay attention to the security situation in front of you.

It can only be said that the steering wheel is still relatively safe in its own hands, and the current auto-pilot does not mature into the safer stage.

Dongfeng Honda: Increased motor oil for no reason

Sagawa, Director of Quality Management Department of Dongfeng Honda, stated that there is a certain relationship between the increase in engine oil level and temperature, and the oil changes that occur due to the oil temperature will increase in the winter and decrease in the summer. It is not a deterioration phenomenon from the whole year. He stressed that this situation will not have any impact on the use of vehicles, and many engines on the market will have similar conditions, not just turbocharged engines. Dongfeng Honda suggested that the majority of vehicle owners have no problem adding 30 millimeters to the upper limit of the oil dipstick, and once they exceed it, they must change their oil.

The appeasement of Dongfeng Honda is only a “drinking and quenching thirst” for the owners of the north, and further explanations are needed from the government. It is hoped that Dongfeng Honda can earnestly research and test, draw conclusions and solutions as soon as possible, and give a satisfactory explanation to the majority of owners and fans.
