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
