A tragedy occurred on the 19th at the Sanyi section of Miaoli on National Highway 1. Three people died and three were injured. A van collided with a Tesla and then stopped in the inner lane. When the two drivers got out of the car to negotiate, they were hit by a Volvo driven by a woman surnamed Lin from behind at high speed, causing serious casualties. The police initially investigated that Ms. Lin's alcohol level was 0, and she claimed to have turned on the ACC assist system. The detailed cause remains to be clarified. The case sparked heated discussions among netizens, who criticized staying in the inside lane to negotiate after an accident as "seeking death" and questioned driving's over-reliance on automatic assistance systems. Experts remind that ACC is only an auxiliary function and has limitations in detecting stationary objects. Drivers must pay attention to road conditions at all times and be prepared to take over. Do not treat the auxiliary function as autonomous driving to avoid irreparable tragedies.
