Tesla Owner Asleep at the Wheel on Highway: Rear-Ends Another Car and Flees
特斯拉高速上自动驾驶车主睡着 追尾他人后又逃逸
English
In terms of intelligent assisted driving experience, Tesla‘s Autopilot has been well-received by car owners. However, it is still far from fully autonomous driving, and drivers are required to pay constant attention to the road to take over the vehicle if necessary. On August 5, 2023, the Henan Highway Traffic Police Corps received a report of a rear-end collision between two cars on the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway in Anyang, with one car fleeing the scene. At the accident site, the rear-ended driver said that the other car was a Tesla, and after being rear-ended, the car did not stop but instead accelerated and fled. Later, the police found that the Tesla with the license plate was “autonomous driving” all the time on the first lane, and the driver was asleep at the wheel. The police contacted the driver, Mr. Hu, through police channels, who admitted that he did not stop and left the scene after rear-ending someone because he was in a hurry.

在智能辅助驾驶体验方面，特斯拉Autopilot被车主公认好评。但是距离完全自动驾驶还相差甚远，使用时还需要驾驶员，时刻关注路况，以便接管车辆。2023年8月5日，河南高速交警总队四支队接到报警称：在京港澳高速安阳段有两辆小车追尾，其中一车逃逸。事故现场，被追尾的驾驶员说，对方是一辆特斯拉，自己被追尾后，该车不但没有停车反而还加速逃离。随后，交警在追查该牌照的特斯拉时，发现该车一直在第一车道“自动驾驶”，原来驾驶员在驾驶席上睡着了。民警通过警方渠道联系到了驾驶员胡某，他称因着急赶路，追尾别人后就没有停车离开了现场。
