Why does a runaway Mercedes run 100 kilometers?

After a lapse of several years, the "fatal cruise control" was staged again on the evening of March 14, 2018 on the Lianhuo Expressway from Henan to Shaanxi. Cruise control malfunction late at night, Mercedes-Benz at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour on the highway for nearly an hour, Henan and Shaanxi traffic police to rescue, and finally through the Mercedes-Benz after-sales background remote operation, ended this frightening scene. After the owner survived nearly 1 hour of life and death, Mercedes-Benz finally ended the "Mercedes-Benz" ......

At around 8 p.m. on March 14, 2018, Mr. Xue from Jiaozuo drove the Yu H5L Mercedes-Benz C200L sedan to Chengdu from east to west along the Lianhuo Expressway to participate in the National Order Fair.

At that time, he drove alone from the Luoyang section of the Lianhuo Expressway to the highway, and then turned on the vehicle's cruise mode, traveling at 120 kilometers per hour all the way to the west.

After Mr. Xue, who had a smooth journey, passed Sanmenxia East Station, he needed to switch to manual driving, but found a terrible situation: the braking and gear systems could not operate normally, and the car with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour could not be switched back.

He was overwhelmed by a problem with the car he had just bought for more than a month, and the car could not slow down or stop. This means that if there is any obstacle in front of him that requires a slowdown, he will face a life and death test.

During the driving process, Mr. Xue consulted Mercedes-Benz after-sales service many times, and operated according to the various solutions provided by it, but failed to ......

At 9:35 p.m., in desperation, he called the police on 110 for help. After receiving the police, the 110 of the Lingbao City Public Security Bureau quickly reported the police to the Sanmenxia Road Police Joint Center.

Mercedes-Benz after-sales background operation car is finally no longer out of control.

It has been almost an hour since Mr. Xue called the police, and in the out-of-control car, Mr. Xue had no other way but to wait and pray. How exactly can the car stop?

The gratifying news came soon: after entering Shaanxi, Mercedes-Benz after-sales finally through the background operation, so that the Mercedes-Benz car that was out of control on the highway for a distance of up to 100 kilometers and out of control for nearly an hour returned to normal control, safely parked at the 923km section of Lianhuo Expressway, and was safely towed away from the highway from Huayin Station.

What is the reason for the Mercedes Benz to lose control at high speed.

Recently, a news of "Runaway Mercedes-Benz running at 120 kilometers per hour for 1 hour" has been swiped on the screen, is it ignorance? Or is it conspiracy hype?

To say foolishness, just in terms of technology, cruise control.

It is based on the control of the fuel supply system by the on-board computer, which realizes the restriction of the vehicle speed, and the computer that controls the fuel supply does not control the automatic transmission.

Not to mention the brake system, which has been popularized in the industry for many years and is a very mature technology, especially in a high-end car like Mercedes-Benz, it is contrary to common sense to say that it is out of control. also made a statement that the brakes and gears were out of order, which can be described as nonsense from a technical point of view. What's even more ridiculous is that it was also fabricated that Mercedes-Benz controlled the vehicle through background operations, Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Cars have not yet reached autonomous driving.

At the level of L5, there is no remote control system at all, so how can it be operated in the background? There is also the way to slow down the vehicle by opening the door, which really makes people laugh out of their teeth, and this owner seems to have a little less ...... about Mercedes-Benz technology

Conspiracy? The case is reminiscent of Toyota's "brakegate" incident in the United States, and finally in the United States**.

The conclusion was given that all the vehicles with failed brakes, when the engines reached the maximum rev, and the truth of the incident speaks for itself. Although the so-called runaway problem is not the same as the "brake gate", the essence seems to be the same. The difference, of course, is that the Toyota owners have initiated a class action lawsuit and claims process, and the Mercedes owner seems to have been more polite.

In the process of transformation, people do not understand the automatic control system, so it is normal for some fear to arise from distrust. Especially Tesla.

There have also been some traffic accidents in the state of autonomous driving, which has deepened people's suspicion of the car's autonomous driving system. The so-called runaway Mercedes-Benz case arose in this context.

Obviously, autonomous driving is far more complicated than cruise control, and if cruise control can be a problem, then the reliability of the automatic driving system is even more important. In addition, Mercedes-Benz, as a luxury brand, has received much more attention in society than other brands, and it is fully qualified to become an "Internet celebrity" with a bit of bizarre stories.

elements. Is it a conspiracy? We continue to pay attention to the subsequent development of the incident, and if we want to achieve some kind of commercial purpose, it is estimated that this is more likely to be a trick.

Due to the hot spread of the incident, in response to this matter, it is even more exaggerated, and the reason why the owner of the car was able to stay safe and sound in the end was the use of "black technology" by Mercedes-Benz after-sales.

Remote operating system, eliminating glitches. Of course, Mercedes-Benz officially issued a statement on the situation related to this cruise control: an expert technical team has been set up to investigate, and Mercedes-Benz does not have the technology to intervene in the background on the vehicle.

The car itself has quality problems, brake failure, flat tires, and high-speed driving.

1.The quality inspection is unqualified. The first reason for the loss of control of the car may be that the car has not undergone authoritative and effective quality inspection before going on the market, and the performance resistance and braking sensitivity and engine have not been strictly and effectively tested, and the probability of this kind of car getting out of control on the road is very high.

2.Brake failure. The car's braking system fails, which naturally leads to the car losing control, so the car should be overhauled in time to avoid accidents, and in addition, the car should not drive too fast.

3.Drive at high speeds. If there is a need for emergency avoidance in the state of high-speed driving, the brakes of the car may be too late, especially when turning, it is very easy to roll over, so the speed and distance of the vehicle must be controlled well when driving to avoid accidents.

4.Flat tires. The tires of the car should also be replaced regularly to avoid a puncture, and the puncture of the driving car will also cause the car to tilt or even roll over, and the driving trajectory will also be deflected, especially in the hot summer when the ground temperature is high, and it is necessary to change the tires frequently and pay attention to cooling the tires.

It's not that weird, it's impossible.

On March 16, Mr. Xue said that the process of the incident was consistent with public reports, and that he had been communicating with Mercedes-Benz at the time of the incident, and the other party reminded him to cut off the power, turn off the engine, and use the electronic handbrake to brake the vehicle, but there was no effect. Later, he tried to open the car door, but felt that the car was unstable, so he had to close the door. He introduced that the final vehicle stopped or by opening the door, which was guided by Mercedes-Benz, after he opened a door, the vehicle began to automatically slow down, and finally dropped to twenty or thirty kilometers per hour, at which time the brakes could be used.

According to reports, Mr. Xue said that he is an amateur racing driver, and he encountered many dangerous situations during the race, such as Liupanshui in Guizhou and Zhangye in Gansu. At that time, the senior mechanic of Mercedes-Benz contacted him many times and told him how to cut off the power, brake, change neutral gear, etc. (try to reduce speed and stop), but there was no response. When the car is out of control, only the steering wheel can control the whole car.

This seems to be a cruise control failure.

It is said that it stopped by repeatedly opening and closing the door, and the follow-up has not been seen.
