Xiangjie Automobile responds to "It is impossible to maintain a straight line when driving on a high-speed slope"

Recently, blogger @袁启聪 posted a video showing that the Xiangjie S9 car was "staggering and turning, unable to keep a straight line" when going up a bridge and flying up a slope, which triggered heated discussions on the Internet. Xiangjie Automobile officials responded that after data analysis and multiple retests, they believed that the conclusion was not objective and rigorous, and was misleading to consumers.

Xiangjie said that if the vehicle's steering wheel turns due to its own reasons, the direction of the steering wheel should be opposite to the direction of the detection torque. In the test, the driver took the initiative to intervene and turned the steering wheel to the right, and then corrected it to the left, causing the vehicle to yaw.

Xiangjie claims that after repeated tests under the same conditions, the Xiangjie S9 was able to maintain straight driving without the driver actively intervening in the steering wheel.

On August 25, blogger Yuan Qicong's Weibo account was muted. Previously, after Xiangjie Auto responded, he had publicly responded via live broadcast.
