Chapter 143 You will pay 20,000 yuan for the repair cost of 300,000 yuan? See you in court!
At this moment, three cars passed by this road, and Lu An, who had just gotten off work, was in one of the cars.
The car he was riding in looked ordinary, but in fact it was a specially modified luxury car that was specially approved by the relevant departments for modification. The vehicle looked ordinary, and the outside world did not know that it was Lu An's car.
"There was a car accident here. It seems that our company's Xiaoyuan robot was hit." Meng Qiuyan, who was sitting on the right side of Lu An, looked out the window and pushed him.
After hearing this, Lu An immediately turned his head and looked to the right. It turned out that a Xiaoyuan robot had been hit.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Let the company's public opinion department and public relations department prepare to deal with it. This is the first time Xiaoyuan robot encountered an accident, and it was a car accident. This matter will definitely be a hot topic."
After saying this, he withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention. He had no intention of parking the car and taking a look.
Because this is inappropriate, it will make the incident even more heated, and Lu An has to come forward on his own for this kind of thing, so he won't have to live his life.
Meng Qiuyan nodded, and immediately took out her mobile phone to call the company.
As expected, this matter became a hot search topic that day, arousing the attention and discussion of a large number of netizens, and the media also reported it.
The division of responsibilities in this accident has caused great enthusiasm on the Internet.
Because the current law does not clearly regard humanoid robots as legal liability subjects. According to the current law, humanoid robots are not given legal personality and cannot independently bear responsibility.
However, it is not impossible to follow the rules.
The basis for liability determination needs to be based on the actual situation. If the Xiaoyuan robot is recognized as a means of transportation or tool equipment, the liability for damage is usually borne by the user or manager.
Since it is a traffic accident, the principle of division of responsibilities can be based on the "Road Traffic Safety Law". Accident liability is mainly determined based on the degree of fault of both parties.
If a motor vehicle commits any violation, such as speeding or failing to give way to pedestrians, it may bear primary or full liability.
If the pedestrian or the robot user is at fault, such as running a red light or operating in violation of regulations, the liability of the motor vehicle can be reduced.
Even if the motor vehicle is not at fault, it is usually required to bear no more than 10% of the liability for compensation.
In addition, there are special circumstances to deal with. If the robot is illegally modified, it may involve a violation of the "Public Security Management Punishment Law" or the relevant provisions of the "Criminal Law", and the liability needs to be investigated separately.
As far as this accident is concerned, the Xiaoyuan robot crossed the zebra crossing with a green light and did not commit any violations.
Furthermore, Xiaoyuan Robot itself also recorded the entire incident.
The division of responsibilities in this matter is very clear, and the motor vehicle is fully responsible.
However, the owner of the motor vehicle refused to accept the verdict. He believed that the robot was not a human individual and the responsibilities could not be divided according to ordinary circumstances. Obviously, the owner of the motor vehicle wanted to evade responsibility, at least not to take full responsibility, so he left this bug.
But it must be said that this accident case is indeed special. Xiaoyuan Robot is a product approved for legal marketing, but the artificial intelligence characteristics of the robot have not been clearly recognized by law. There may be a legal gap in the determination of liability, which needs to be dealt with based on specific cases and judicial interpretations.
Because of this, it has received huge attention and discussion after being reported by the media.
And once this case is decided, it will become the first case to be a guiding case, and this case will be referred to for judgment in similar situations in the future.
As for the owner of this Xiaoyuan robot, he is absolutely troubled now. The owner of the motor vehicle obviously does not want to take full responsibility. He may have to file a lawsuit, which may take a year and a half.
Lu An is not paying attention to this matter and lets his subordinates handle it.
The next day, Metaverse Intelligent Control also sent relevant staff to intervene in the incident, and the company also took this very seriously.
Because this is the first major accident case in the half year since the launch of Xiaoyuan Robot, the attention on the Internet is also high.
The first priority right now is to conduct a damage assessment on the Xiaoyuan robot that was hit.
· Yuanjie Intelligent Control sent professional after-sales engineers to conduct the evaluation, and the results were available that afternoon, and the evaluation report was directly released to the public.
The popularity is very high now, and everyone is paying attention, so we cannot hide it and let the Internet speculate, causing rumors to fly all over the sky.
The assessment report shows that mainly five modules were damaged to varying degrees.
[Right drive unit]
This is the area that bears the main impact force and is also the core loss. It has undergone permanent deformation, which directly affects walking balance and load-bearing capacity. Basically, it needs to be replaced.
【Distributed Sensors】
In the right half of the torso and legs, the large-area sensor array failed due to severe impact and friction, and the gyroscope or internal circuits were broken. The original delicate tactile perception ability was basically lost in this area and needed to be replaced.
【Lightweight alloy frame】
Visible deformation and stress cracks appeared at the right pelvic joint. Although the strength of the main structure is still there, it needs to be precisely corrected, otherwise the overall force conduction and long-term stability will be affected.
【Proprioception Sensor】
Inertial Measurement Unit and Joint Angle Sensor, the data showed drift and abnormality. It was initially determined that the internal precision components were damaged due to severe vibration, which caused the robot to be unable to accurately sense its own posture, and the core sensor module needed to be replaced.
【External shell and decorative parts】
Large-scale scratches, dents, chips, and temperature-sensitive materials are repaired, and the repair cost is not low.
Preliminary estimates indicate that the overall repair cost of the Xiaoyuan robot, including precision inspection, correction work and replacement of core components, is about 300,000 yuan.
"What? It costs 300,000 yuan to repair?"
The list of repair costs was delivered to the owner. When he saw the figure of 300,000 yuan, he immediately became numb.
The owner of the motor vehicle involved in the accident previously stated that he would pay up to 20,000 yuan, and the lawsuit has been settled.
Even if the robot needs to be repaired for a year, two or three years, it is absolutely impossible for the owner to accept paying for the repair costs. It is absolutely impossible for the owner to accept a compensation of only 20,000 yuan. He cannot afford this money in the first place, because the robot was bought with a loan.
That evening, the owner posted the cost of the evaluation list sent by Metaverse Intelligent Control online.
Furthermore, he posted a video saying that the owner of the car involved in the accident actually only wanted to pay 20,000 yuan for everyone to comment. He obviously also hopes that online public opinion will promote this matter.
However, after the repair cost of 300,000 yuan was exposed, it also caused an uproar among netizens.
[The maintenance cost is 300,000 yuan? ! This is enough to buy a nice car! ]
[This repair is too expensive! ! ]
[The owner of the motor vehicle takes full responsibility and cannot run away. It is so shameless. He looked down at his mobile phone and harmed others and himself. He only wants to pay 20,000 yuan? ]
[Correction, it’s a harm to the enemy and yourself.—.—(Shiba Inu jpg)]
[Xiaoyuan robot also needs to buy insurance! How can ordinary people afford this maintenance cost? ]
[Ordinary people don’t have to worry, they don’t have this worry because they can’t afford it. ]
[It broke my old heart. ]
[Mad, when you see the Xiaoyuan robot on the road in the future, you have to keep your distance. You can’t afford to bump into it————. (face covering.jpg)]
[Where is the insurance company? Can’t you see such a big business opportunity? Hurry up and launch robot commercial insurance services! ]
Most netizens are ordinary people. For everyone, the number 300,000 is an exorbitant repair cost.
There are heated discussions on the Internet about Xiaoyuan robot car accident, sky-high robot repair costs, zebra crossing safety, and the horrifying harm caused by people with low heads to machines.
While the Internet is full of popularity, various insurance company giants are not idle.
It has been half a year since Xiaoyuan Robot was launched, but there is still no corresponding commercial insurance supporting services.
But this is not because netizens complain that insurance companies are blind and cannot make money, nor do they want to make money.
In fact, insurance institutions have been watching at the beginning of the year. They are just waiting and evaluating. The most important thing is to know the overall market size of Xiaoyuan Robot.
To put it bluntly, we cannot tell how big the sales volume will be in the short term.
Xiaoyuan Robot is a new thing that has just been born and lacks sufficient historical data to support it.
Hence, the major insurance companies are just paying attention and not taking any actual action.
However, after this incident, some insurance companies are already unable to sit still.
The accident was of course very disturbing to the owner, and his good life was disrupted, but in the eyes of the insurance company, it was a rare opportunity.
