On April 9th, it was reported that at the Haining South Toll Station on the G92 Hangzhou Bay Ring Expressway, a new energy sedan collided with the central barrier.
When questioned by the traffic police, the driver claimed to have activated the Lane Centering Control (LCC) system and did not intervene.
Ultimately, the man was held fully responsible for the accident, not only for repairing the vehicle but also for compensating for the damaged road infrastructure.
Unfortunately, this new car hadn't even been issued a license plate before becoming involved in the accident, resulting in significant losses.
LCC, or Lane Centering Control, relies on a camera mounted on the front windshield to detect lane markings and continuously keep the vehicle centered within the lane.
If the vehicle deviates from the center of the lane, the system automatically applies steering assistance to bring it back on course, ensuring safe driving.
The accident occurred in an area with unclear lane markings, compounded by a curved section of the road, possibly causing the LCC system to misjudge and lead to the accident.
It's important to note that when using the LCC function, the driver must keep both hands on the steering wheel. If the LCC system detects that the driver's hands are not on the wheel, it will send a takeover request through the instrument panel and sound a warning alert.
