Man sentenced for driving under the influence of alcohol using "smart driving tool"

Recently, a man in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province was sentenced for dangerous driving for using a "smart driving device" while drunk. In the early hours of September 13th, a small van with hazard lights on stopped in the middle of the road, blocking the passage of vehicles behind it. Passersby noticed something unusual and approached the van to find the driver's seat empty, with only a man lying on the passenger seat. The central console displayed an "emergency" alert, so they called the police. At 3:11 am that day, a blood test showed that Wang, with an alcohol content of 114.5mg/100ml. Upon investigation, the owner, Wang, admitted that he had been drinking heavily with friends on the night of September 12th and had let the car drive itself out of sheer luck. Surveillance footage showed that the vehicle had been driving for a full 20 minutes with no one in the driver's seat. In order to deceive the steering wheel detection, Wang had installed a device called a "smart driving device" on the steering wheel, tricking the system into believing that the driver's hands were still on the wheel, allowing the vehicle to continue driving without anyone at the wheel. After a trial, Wang was sentenced to one month and 15 days in detention for dangerous driving and fined 4000 yuan. The public is reminded that "smart driving" requires human assistance, not full automation. Whether in production, sales, or use, anyone involved with "smart driving devices" may be held legally responsible.
