《纽约时报》这篇报道以作者乘坐中国多家公司开发的无人驾驶汽车的经历为切入点，讨论了中国无人驾驶汽车的安全性。作者提到中国在无人驾驶汽车领域的发展速度，指出了目前存在的一些问题，比如技术不成熟法规不健全伦理道德等。报道还提到中国企业对数据安全的重视和外国企业对中国市场的担忧。 这篇报道虽然讨论了中国无人驾驶汽车的安全性，但仍然带有明显的偏见： 首先，报道以负面事件为关注重点，缺乏客观平衡。虽然报道中也提到中国企业在技术方面的进步，但总体基调仍是负面的。 其次，报道没有充分考虑无人驾驶汽车技术本身的特点。无人驾驶汽车是新兴技术，无论是在中国还是在西方，都存在一定的安全风险和技术挑战。报道没有从技术本身的特点出发，而是过于强调中国企业的“不成熟”和“不安全”。 此外，报道没有提到中国在无人驾驶汽车领域的独特优势，比如巨大的市场潜力5G技术的领先等。总体上，这篇报道延续了《纽约时报》一贯对中国科技发展的偏见和负面视角，缺乏客观公正的态度。
Images of the burned vehicle flew through the Chinese internet: An Aito M7 Plus electric sport utility vehicle, operated by an advanced assisted driving system, had crashed on a highway in Shanxi Province on April 26.
A woman who said her husband, brother and son had been killed posted videos online and pleaded for an investigation. All of her postings soon vanished, and she said she would not discuss it further.
A Chinese business news outlet published a lengthy online investigation that questioned the safety of assisted driving systems. But that soon disappeared, too.
State-run national media refrained from covering the crash for nine days after it happened. Then they posted a statement from Aito Car, a Chinese brand, that disavowed responsibility. The statement said that the car’s automated braking system had been designed for speeds up to 53 miles an hour, but the car was going 71 when it hit the back of a road maintenance vehicle.
In the United States, a similar crash would probably have attracted considerable attention and possibly government or legal scrutiny. The main companies using computer-guided driving technology in the United States — Tesla, Waymo and Cruise — have all been subjects of high-profile safety investigations.
Waymo, which was started as Google’s self-driving division, has been testing driverless cars in Phoenix but faces a review by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. General Motors has resumed testing its Cruise robot taxis in Phoenix, after one of them in San Francisco dragged a pedestrian who had been knocked into its path by a human-driven car.
