Accidents

In January 2023, an AITO M7 owner in Hangzhou experienced a collision while driving, but the airbag did not deploy. The manufacturer claimed the vehicle conditions did not meet the criteria for airbag deployment. Later, both parties reached an agreement and the dealer replaced the vehicle with a new one for the owner. According to reports, while the owner was complaining to the manufacturer and before receiving a response, they received a phone call from their company leader saying "a leader approached us, asking to give face and let it go," suggesting their personal information had been leaked.^[15]

On the afternoon of April 26, 2024, an AITO M7 caught fire after a rear-end collision on a highway in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province. Due to the car doors being locked and unable to open, 3 people including the driver were trapped and burned to death.^[16] AITO stated that this vehicle was the Plus version without Huawei's intelligent driving assistance system, but still equipped with active safety features such as Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB); the vehicle was traveling at 115km/h when the accident occurred, the airbags deployed normally, and the power battery pack characteristics were all normal.^[17][18] This accident sparked online discussion due to Huawei's aggressive promotion of AEB and other features as "far ahead" in earlier marketing. The victims' families posted questioning the vehicle's safety.^[19]; 21st Century Business Herald published a commentary article questioning whether Huawei's "far ahead" marketing claims were exaggerated.^[20] Subsequently, the victims' families deleted their posts and requested not to be disturbed, which raised external suspicions.^[21]; the aforementioned commentary article was also allegedly removed under pressure.^[22] On May 6, 2024, AITO responded to four questions regarding the accident, stating that the accident vehicle's airbags had deployed, the battery did not spontaneously combust, the car doors were severely damaged and could not be opened, and the vehicle's speed exceeded the AEB operating range, causing the AEB to be ineffective. Additionally, the driver's seat had a seatbelt buckle signal, while the passenger seat and all three rear seats had none.^[23]
