After the Lexus LM car accident, the car door locked and caught fire, causing 2 injuries 1 death. Why can't the door open?

Just watched the accident of Lexus LM. After the collision in the video, the doors of the whole car can't be opened, which makes it very difficult to rescue outside the car. Rescuers tried to open the door, but all the doors could not be opened. Even if the drivers passing by are all adult men, it is impossible for so many gentlemen to open or pry open the car door with a crowbar. The double flashing of the vehicle also indicates that the small battery is working normally, the power supply of the vehicle is normal, and the airbag curtain has been opened. Moreover, all the car doors on-site rescuers could not open them, including the tailgate. Automatic unlocking of vehicles should be a problem. And Lexus LM has automatic locking function. If it has an automatic locking function, it will be automatically unlocked after touching. Even if the drivers passing by are all adult men, it is impossible for so many gentlemen to open or pry open the car door with a crowbar.

Finally, rescuers spent a lot of time filming the driver's door. The driver's side door is severely deformed, but it is easier to pry open and the driver can get out. The bosses who rescued the injured on the co-pilot had no choice but to drag the injured out of the window. There was another injured person in the back row of the scene. Because the door could not be opened before being rescued, the vehicle caught fire. Rescuers smashed the rear window with a crowbar, and they could see that the seat in the back row of the main driver's seat was obviously laid down, with an injured person lying on it.

I'm not sure if the injured person is wearing a seat belt. To tell the truth, even if the injured person is wearing a seat belt, the posture of lying or half lying at the time of the accident is not the sitting posture calibrated by the crash test, and it belongs to dislocation. According to my limited experience and superficial understanding of the industry, almost no car companies will optimize the restraint of lying seat belts, because there is no such inspection in laws, regulations and various tests.

I suggest that you don't lie down or lie down in the car, even if you are wearing a seat belt, this posture is very dangerous, let alone in the back of the car. The passenger in the back of the vehicle is the least inspected among all positions, which is not as good as the co-pilot position. Of course, this kind of collision accident is the last thing you want to see and should not happen. Because the deformation of the car body is similar to 100% frontal collision, the slight plastic hinge of the A-pillar and the intrusion into the passenger compartment are not particularly serious, and the airbag curtain is also open. It is said that the passengers in the car have a good chance of survival.

However, this is still the result. It's really hard to accept because the door can't be opened and the rescue is difficult. One of the evidences that the vehicle can't be unlocked automatically is that the tailgate of the accident vehicle can't be opened, which is different from the deformation of the front door and the tailgate. This is a big problem of automatic unlocking of vehicles. For the domestic crash test, I suggest you go to C-NCAP to inquire about the relevant models. It can be seen that some models will not be unlocked after the crash test, and it is best to avoid such models.

In addition, a car like Lexus LM is only optimized for collisions with overlap rate of 40% and 100%. Now almost all cars have emergency mechanical unlocking mechanism of trunk tailgate, which may be unfamiliar. If the front of the car is not burned so badly, there may be a chance to open the tailgate from the inside of the car. We also don't want to criticize the big brothers who rescued the scene and say why they didn't put out the fire. Without professional training, they saved two people in this emergency. These people who rescued at the scene were very brave. After all, they don't know that the car door won't open, and it's so difficult to open. Finally, it should be said that the car crash test done by the main engine factory should not only take the test, should not only deal with laws and regulations, should not be for cost consideration, but should be responsible for people's lives.

I feel that the price increase is still too small. If the price is increased by 10%, the automatic locking function may add a cruel bite. By the way, this window glass should have anti-pinch function, right? The price has gone up so much. By the way, this is not a question of whether there is an automatic locking function at all. The co-pilot woman woke up and took the car key to unlock the rescuers. However, eggs are the same. The remote control key of this car can't open the door of this car. What's the problem? Don't say deformed, the front door is not deformed at all. The trunk door is not deformed.

Safety is the bottom line. If you can't even protect the safety of passengers, it's no use being luxurious and comfortable now. Almost all Lexus models are very valuable, and some cars like the old IS are still very popular even if they are old. What's more, like lexus LX 570, according to the current market, it will not only lose money but even make a lot of money after selling for several years, which is the most exaggerated. Like this, you can only rely on limited super-running. And LM has to increase the price by hundreds of thousands! In terms of this price, value-keeping rate and user reputation, through this accident, the door was not unlocked, making the halo of the mine car a joke.

I have never experienced such an accident, and I don't know much about the mechanism of automatic unlocking in collision, so the door can't be opened. This is the biggest problem of the accident. Let's talk about opening the door urgently. Under normal circumstances, there is no electric tailgate with P gear, which can't be opened even with the remote control key. Only the button on the driver's left side can be forced to open (different cars may have different positions). The double yellow lights on the tailgate at the back should still work normally when pressing the foot. So is the door. Non-P gear cannot be unlocked, but it can be forcibly opened from the inside through mechanical structure. This can work even when driving.

Let's talk about rescue reflection. I may not know that there is someone in the back row at first, but under the premise that the driving door is easy to open, I can climb up from the front row to check the situation, open the door from the inside, or pull everyone out of the driving test (it may also cause secondary injuries and be accidentally injured); For example, the tailgate of an electric car can be forcibly opened by pressing the button at the lower left of the dashboard, but these driving schools don't teach, and car owners who don't like learning may not know it at all. Moreover, the design and positioning of car companies are different, and even the warning lights of different vehicles are easy to find. Whether these panic button should be designed in a unified position and whether vehicle emergency rescue should be included in the driving school curriculum is worth pondering. In addition, many cars stopped because of the accident, but only one person took a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. It is estimated that most vehicles do not always have fire extinguishers, which is a bad habit in China. Finally, everyone should pay attention to safety when going out, and don't drive tired. Fatigue driving may be the biggest cause of this bicycle accident. Remember that your seat belt is in the back row, and the trunk is often put out by a fire extinguisher. Finally, through this matter, what I want to see more is the improvement and perfection of legal standards.
