The chairman of 360 tried to take a ride in Hyper Automobile and encountered a hand clamping!

On July 30, a video about 360 chairman Zhou Hongyi’s hand being caught by the car door when experiencing the Hypermodel of GAC Aion was exposed on the Internet. It can be seen from the video that after a car company staff introduced to Zhou Hongyi that the gull-wing door design of the model has an anti-pinch function, Zhou Hongyi put his hand on the gap of the gull-wing door himself, but the scissor door did not recognize Zhou Hongyi’s hand, resulting in his hand being caught. In the video, it can be clearly heard that there was a scream of “ah” in the car. Later, after the car door was opened, Zhou Hongyi might look bad because of the pain. The car company staff also immediately apologized and said: “Sorry, very sorry, it should be me to try first.” At the same time, he also got into the car to experience the anti-pinch function of the scissor door. This video immediately attracted a lot of attention and even topped the hot search position on Weibo, triggering a lot of discussions among netizens. Some netizens commented that: never test the machine with your body. Some netizens also commented that: it is better not to try, because it looks very painful. In addition, some netizens also expressed concerns about the safety of the vehicle. In response, some media contacted the official customer service of Hyper Automobile, and the other party responded that: the vehicle is indeed equipped with the function of detecting obstacles and stopping closing the door, but due to the uncertainty of sensor induction, it is not recommended to test the anti-pinch function with the hand or other parts of the body. It is worth mentioning that last night after Zhou Hongyi’s hand was caught, he released a video to respond. In the video, Zhou Hongyi said that after his hand was caught, he applied ice for half a day and now it’s almost okay. At the same time, it was also pointed out that his reaction at that time was already very fast, and his hand was quickly pulled down, and there was a soft pad underneath, so the hand was not completely caught. In addition, it was also said that although he could only ride in the car, as an experiencer, in addition to experiencing the comfort of the vehicle, safety was also a point he cared about. He had also been caught by the car door and his head by the car window glass before, so he was relatively sensitive to the hand being caught by the car. In the video, Zhou Hongyi pointed out that the Hyper HT model only did the anti-pinch at the lower edge of the car door, so he tried it with his foot at that time, and the car stopped. He was a little careless and stretched out his right hand to try it. Fortunately, he withdrew his hand at that time. At present, there should be no problem with the bones of the hand, maybe there is a little soft tissue contusion. Finally, Zhou Hongyi said that although there was such a small episode in the experience process, he was still quite satisfied with the vehicle overall. Because the back seat of the vehicle can lean back, which is rare in ordinary SUVs, and the foot space of the entire vehicle is also relatively large, and the shape of the vehicle is relatively cool. Finally, it was pointed out that it didn’t matter if he was caught, but if it caught children or ordinary users, it might not be so good, and it was suggested that the car factory make improvements for this problem. According to the data, the Hyper brand is the high-end luxury brand under GAC Aion and was released in September 2022. GAC Group also has high hopes for the launch of the Hyper brand. Feng Xingya, general manager of GAC Group, once said that the pattern of “Weilai Xiaopeng” should be changed to “Aion Xiaopeng Weilai”, and said that Aion would be shaped into the world’s top three “high-end smart electric vehicle brands”. At present, there are three models of Hyper GT, Hyper SSR, and Hyper HT under the Hyper brand. This time, the model that Zhou Hongyi experienced is exactly Hyper HT. The car was launched in November 15 last year. The new car is positioned as a medium and large SUV, and a total of 6 models are launched, with a price range of 21.39-32.99 million yuan. Sales show that: in June, the sales volume of Hyper HT was 502 units, and the cumulative sales volume this year was 3113 units. Finally, returning to the incident of Zhou Hongyi’s experience being caught this time, it has to be reminded that although most of the current smart cars have a series of vehicle safety configuration functions such as anti-pinch hands, these functions do not mean that there will be no errors. Therefore, it is recommended that users must remain vigilant during use to avoid causing harm to themselves. In addition, this event can also give some inspiration to car companies. In the design process, more consideration should be given to the safety of users and the safety risk of the vehicle should be reduced.
