More on the active safety elements in Chinese SUV's

  • Summary

  • Talking further on the intrusive active safety elements of many of the new
    breed of Chinese SUVs – the Leapmotor C10 I’ve just driven a case in point
    which has 17 so called active driver assist features and I understand that
    the local company has already adjusted the software for these active safety
    elements three times – heaven knows what it was like first up for its still so
    intrusive it’s a buyer turnoff to what is otherwise an excellent first effort for
    Leapmotor. Interestingly, this week I was supposed to be driving the
    Deepal CO7, another Chinese EV SUV newcomer. However, I was told all
    test vehicles have been recalled to make software changes to their active
    safety elements – the reason, I’m not the only motoring journalist who has
    found many of these poorly calibrated active safety elements an absolute
    buyer turnoff. I’m David Berthon
