On May 1st, as more and more vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems are being sold, extreme cases are emerging, such as drivers letting go of the steering wheel to do other things while driving.
Recently, a blogger posted a video criticizing the "negative influence" of such behavior. In the video (click the link to watch), a WENJIE M7 was using the NCA advanced driver assistance system to drive on the highway. In the back seat, a woman was holding a sleeping child in her arms while playing a mobile game on her phone, which appeared to be "Honor of Kings."
The child was obviously very young and was not seated in a child safety seat. What's even more concerning is that the woman seemed to not be wearing a seatbelt. In the event of an emergency, the inertia of high-speed driving would inevitably result in serious injuries to both individuals.
This is not all. As the camera shifts to the front row, the passenger is also playing a mobile game, but thankfully she is wearing a seatbelt, which is a good practice. However, when the driver comes into view, it's a heart-stopping moment because he is also engrossed in a game on his phone. It's highly likely that all three people in the car are playing together.
The driver has both hands off the steering wheel, his eyes not on the road ahead, just a quick glance now and then. Judging from the dashboard, the car was cruising at 100 km/h at that time.
Such behavior has been criticized by netizens. After all, it is a public road, and if something goes wrong, it could potentially harm other road users. Some bloggers have shared the following opinions:
