The scene of the Tesla electric car changing lanes right in front of the construction vehicle on the highway

A few days ago, a video went viral on the online community in China, recording a scene of a white Tesla Model 3 while speeding on the highway, almost colliding with a construction vehicle.

The video was captured by the dashcam of another vehicle traveling in the back of the tram.

In the video, it seems that the road is being repaired, so a group of construction vehicles has been parked in the rightmost lane, close to the median, and has flashing lights. Other cars, seeing the warning, moved early to the right lane to dodge.

But this Tesla seems to have not noticed the obstacle and continued to rush forward at a constant speed. It was not until the driver got close that he noticed something was wrong and steered the car quickly into the right lane, just before the collision. The whole process shows the abnormality of vehicle control.

A video of the scene quickly went viral on the Internet, prompting many Chinese netizens to joke that it seems Tesla electric cars love to stand out and are always afraid of others forgetting who they are. Some people believe that the driver has relied on the Autopilot driver assistance system and only when detecting danger will he rush to regain control of the vehicle.

Tesla’s Autopilot system does not seem to recognize the presence of rescue vehicles, causing it to regularly crash into them while traveling on the road.

Previously, the fatal accident of China’s Weilai brand electric car when the driver was using the driver assistance system caused a stir in the community and the incident is still under investigation. The series of incidents related to electric vehicles are causing consumers in this country to question the automatic driving assistance function and the propaganda of the manufacturers.

In the West, US government regulators are also opening an investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot system after electric cars using this feature often tend to crash. into the emergency vehicles that are stopped and parked on the road.
