"Can you please describe the situation in detail?" The reporter only wants first-hand news materials. Generally, car accidents are small news, but if you bring the hotly discussed driverless car, it will be a hot topic. News.
Wei Jian was so speechless that he described it with added detail.
On the other side, the traffic police were calming the female driver and investigating the car accident at the scene.
"Comrade traffic police, may I ask whether this car accident was caused by an error in the operation of the driverless car?" The reporter finished asking Wei Jian and then continued to ask the traffic police.
"No, there is currently no direct evidence that it was caused by driverless cars. According to what we know now, it may be caused by illegal driving of unlicensed electric vehicles." The traffic police kept a tight tone and refused to disclose any information.
This incident has alarmed Wu Changfeng, director of the Traffic Management Bureau. He personally stated that no conclusion should be drawn without investigating the actual cause.
If this is really caused by driverless cars, that would be a big deal! The just-approved L5 fully autonomous driving test license is expected to be cut in half.
The person in charge of Pengyun Automobile is also investigating the situation of driverless cars and reporting to the headquarters.
"The car is intact as a whole and the autonomous driving system is faultless... Okay, boss, I will take care of it."
After the traffic police retained the evidence, they first towed away the damaged vehicles to keep the road open, and then took a group of people to the Traffic Management Bureau to deal with the problem in detail.
As soon as they entered the Traffic Management Bureau, reports about this car accident appeared on the Internet and in the news media. No matter what the content of the report is, the title clearly uses the words "Pengyun driverless car had a car accident" to attract the audience's attention.
Some viewers and netizens who didn't know the truth started to complain after reading the title.
"I'm just telling you! This kind of car is unsafe. Wouldn't it cause a car accident?"
"There was a car accident just half a month ago. Did anyone get killed?"
"Hey, I've been looking forward to it in vain. I still wanted to buy this kind of fully autonomous car, but I don't dare to buy it now."
"Can you please take a closer look? The driverless car is fine. The accident was caused by another car."
"Didn't the driver say it was caused by the driverless car suddenly slowing down after merging? Isn't that okay? If you are driving on the highway and the car in front of you suddenly slows down, you are not allowed to hit it?"
…
In a B&B, Zhuang Yan just contacted another media and broke the news to them. He wants to make this matter even bigger. Wei Jian has already contacted him. Pengyun Automobile doesn't seem to want to compensate, so he wants to increase public pressure on them.
At the Traffic Management Bureau, Wei Jian still insisted on his "victim" remarks and demanded compensation.
The traffic police are also studying and discussing how to deal with this matter.
"There were no surveillance cameras on the road where the incident occurred, and the driver Wei's dash cam was damaged. The female driver Yang's dash cam showed that an electric vehicle driver suddenly changed direction, causing the traffic accident."
"But what Wei said was that his car was knocked down due to Pengyun's driverless car overtaking, merging, and suddenly slowing down, causing damage to the cargo in the compartment. It is difficult for us to judge now."
A traffic policeman said: "If what Wei said is true, the Pengyun driverless car and the female driver Yang, as well as the electric car driver who drove illegally, will all bear corresponding responsibilities. But the electric car driver who drove illegally will probably It can’t be found.”
The electric car driven by Zhuang Yan was a dilapidated second-hand car. It had no license plate and no clear surveillance video, so it was almost impossible to find it.
Therefore, the remaining liability for the accident must be shared by Pengyun Automobile Co., Ltd. and the female driver.
"How many millions are Wei's goods really worth?" an old traffic policeman questioned, "Why do I feel like he's here to touch porcelain?"
He had encountered similar cases before. Some porcelain gangs prepared a box of broken porcelain pieces and put them in the parking lot or car, deliberately letting the car owners touch them, and then compensated the cost. The car owners who were hit by the scam also had troubles that they couldn’t express.
"This needs identification, but the current evidence shows that Wei is the victim."
"Now several media outlets have come to our door and asked us about the detailed reasons for the incident."
"The director has given instructions and must handle it with caution."
Just when several traffic policemen were in trouble, the comrade in charge of the accident investigation walked in with a happy face and said: "Good news, a technician from Pengyun Automobile Co., Ltd. has come, and I heard that he can use virtual projection to perfectly show us the scene of the car accident. ”
"Do they still have such ability?" The traffic policemen were surprised. There were no useful clues found in the driving recorder of the previous car accident, but it would be much easier to judge if the scene restoration effect was displayed.
"Let's go and have a look!"
…
Three hours after the accident occurred, the traffic police department has not yet announced the results of the accident. Public opinion has begun to gradually go astray.
On the list of hotly searched topics on the Internet, the number one topic is "Pengyun driverless car car accident". The popularity is still rising, and there are many commentators.
“Resist fully autonomous cars and do not allow such cars to be put on the road!”
"Don't harm people before the technology is mature. Fortunately, no one died this time!"
"What about the people who boasted about driverless driving before? What a slap in the face! How can intelligence be compared with humans? They can't handle sudden events!"
Even Wei Jian, as a victim, stated on the Internet that he had suffered an unreasonable disaster. Not only was his car broken down, but the goods were also broken. Those were the goods that his family used to eat. If he did not receive compensation, his whole family would be destroyed. Can't live anymore!
Such remarks aroused the sympathy of many netizens who did not know the truth, and they expressed support and demanded full compensation from Pengyun Automobile Co., Ltd.
"Three million, don't say three million!" Zhuang Yan, who was hiding in a B&B, saw the public opinion on the Internet, and his face was full of excitement. At the same time, he also had a little regret. If he had known better, he would have been bolder and faked five million. Or if ten million handicrafts are broken, they can earn more.
He thinks that this "touching porcelain" was done perfectly. Now the traffic police have not found any evidence. With the pressure of public opinion, Pengyun Automobile will not be able to lose money.
While he was happily looking forward to the future, in the Pengcheng Traffic Management Bureau, Director Wu Changfeng, several traffic police comrades and a technician from Pengyun Automobile were preparing to watch a virtual projection of the car accident restoration.
A technician from Pengyun Automobile said: "There are dozens of micro cameras around the Pengyun driverless car, which can capture the surrounding scenes in all directions. Inside the car body, whether it is electric energy, vehicle speed, or interior temperature, humidity and other data , all real-time feedback is recorded in the quantum chip. Now we can use intelligence to restore all previous scenes.”
