recently, a video of an extremely krypton car “autonomously driving” on a highway sparked heated discussion. in the video, the driver and co-pilot were "lying down" covered with quilts and stuck drink bottles on the steering wheel to avoid detection. on october 4, jikrypton customer service stated that the assisted driving system currently equipped with this brand of vehicles is not autonomous driving, and the driver still needs to participate in the driving behavior. the traffic police department pointed out that if an accident occurs due to improper driving, the driver must bear the responsibility. (modern express, october 4)
the global automobile industry is undergoing profound changes. with the help of rapidly developing artificial intelligence, autonomous driving has become a core technology that major automobile manufacturers are focusing on. however, the current autonomous driving is still in the "human-vehicle co-driving" stage. the system can only assist driving, and it is still difficult to completely get rid of the driver's autonomous driving.
the "intelligence" of ai is a logical deduction under specific environments and algorithms. however, the traffic environment is complex and changeable, there are many uncontrollable factors, and emergencies may occur at any time. human intuition and adaptability are difficult to replace with ai. although the convenience of artificial intelligence can reduce the operational burden and allow us to better cope with complex driving environments, it can also easily lead to the illusion that "technology is omnipotent". the driver in the video stuck the drink bottle on the steering wheel and let the assisted driving system take over all driving tasks. he undoubtedly put himself in a false sense of security. this behavior is not only irresponsible, but also a misunderstanding of technology.
the red line of the law must not be breached. the "road traffic safety law of the people's republic of china" stipulates that the driver should be in the driving seat, monitor the operating status of the vehicle and its surrounding environment, and be ready to take over the vehicle at any time. if a traffic violation or accident occurs, the responsibilities of the driver and the autonomous driving system development unit should be determined in accordance with the law. there have been many traffic accidents caused by over-reliance on assisted driving. the drivers involved not only faced financial compensation, but also may bear legal criminal liability.
every technological innovation is a double-edged sword. its original intention is to make life better, but without sufficient safety awareness and ethical thinking, the convenience brought by technology may also lead to tragedy. as artificial intelligence and autonomous driving gradually become more popular in the future, we must not only embrace technology, but also continuously improve our own safety literacy. no matter how smart the ai is, humans are still the ultimate responsible person, and a moment of relaxation while driving may bring irreparable costs. technology is constantly "evolving", and people's safety awareness must not "degrade".
