AITO Auto Addresses Technical Issues Related to M7 Plus in Recent Traffic Accident
On May 6, AITO Auto released a statement addressing technical issues related to the Jiexin M7 Plus in a recent traffic accident on the Houping Expressway in Shanxi Province. The accident occurred on April 26, 2024, when the M7 Plus rear-ended a road maintenance vehicle while driving in the inner fast lane.
In response to the accident, AITO Auto cooperated with the traffic police department to conduct investigations and provide necessary data to determine the cause of the collision. The investigation results are pending notification from the authorities.
The incident has garnered widespread attention online, prompting AITO Auto to address concerns raised by Wenjie users regarding the M7 Plus’s performance during the accident.
One key question raised was why the automatic emergency braking (AEB) function failed to avoid the collision. AITO Auto explained that the braking system was functioning normally before the accident, but the vehicle’s speed at the time of the collision exceeded the AEB’s operating range.
Regarding the vehicle fire that occurred after the collision, AITO Auto clarified that the fire was caused by damage to the front engine room and passenger compartment, not a spontaneous ignition of the battery pack.
The statement also addressed concerns about the airbag deployment and the ability to open the car door after the collision. AITO Auto confirmed that the airbags deployed as intended and that the car door could be opened using the mechanical door handle in emergencies.
In conclusion, AITO Auto emphasized its commitment to safety and transparency in addressing the technical issues related to the M7 Plus in the recent accident. The company is awaiting further investigation results from the authorities.
