Xiaomi SU7 Car Moves on Its Own: Safety Concerns Raised
An electric Xiaomi SU7 used car in Shandong, China, caused a stir when it moved on its own while parked and unoccupied. The car's owner, Wang, witnessed the unsettling incident and attempted to stop the vehicle.
The car's unexpected behaviour raised safety concerns, as it could potentially harm pedestrians or other cars if it malfunctions during motion. The incident sparked online debate and worries about the safety of smart cars.
Investigations into the cause of the car's independent movement are ongoing. One theory suggests that Wang's iPhone sent a 'parking assistance' command, allowing the car to move without a driver. However, Xiaomi's developers proposed an alternative explanation. They suggested that Wang might have accidentally activated the remote start function. Nevertheless, evidence contradicts this possibility, leaving the cause of the incident still uncertain.
The unusual incident involving the electric Xiaomi SU7 car in Shandong has highlighted potential safety concerns with smart cars. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact cause of the car's independent movement and to ensure the safety of such vehicles in the future.
