Despite being AEB-equipped, the capabilities vary significantly among different manufacturers due to the adoption of different hardware and software solutions. Recently, Pacific Auto Network conducted a live AEB test using 14 electric vehicles at a professional testing ground. Among them, the performance of the Wenjie M9 in the stationary electric two-wheeler AEB recognition and stopping project was particularly outstanding.
After rigorous testing, the M9 demonstrated remarkable performance by promptly recognizing a stationary electric scooter even when traveling at a high speed of up to 120 km/h. It managed to come to a steady stop behind the stationary vehicle, effectively averting the occurrence of a collision accident.
To push the limits of the M9, staff increased the vehicle's speed to 130 km/h. Despite the higher velocity, the M9 still identified and braked for obstacles. However, due to the excessive speed, even with full braking, there was a distinct smell of burning, and the vehicle ultimately collided with the test object. Nevertheless, at that point, damage was minimized.
At the recent launch event for the SmartWorld S7, Yu Chengdong stated that the vehicle's Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system has evolved further, with its effective range now spanning from 4 to 150 km/h, and a maximum braking speed of 120 km/h.
Both the ZhiJie S7 and WenJie M9 are equipped with Huawei's 192-line LiDAR, with similar hardware capabilities. Since the maximum effective range of the forward AEB on the S7 reaches up to 150 km/h, the M9 should perform similarly. The fact that there were responses and braking during the 130 km/h test precisely validates this point.
