Chinese regulators tell Tesla to fix nearly 3 million cars

中国监管机构要求特斯拉召回近 300 万辆汽车

Tesla is facing a massive recall in China today. Chinese regulators are taking a stricter approach to safety, and the automaker now has to add warning labels to 2.98 million Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles in China that make it clearer how to open the rear doors in the case of an emergency that causes the car to lose power.

特斯拉今日在中国面临大规模召回。中国监管机构正采取更严格的安全监管措施，这家汽车制造商现在必须为其在中国销售的 298 万辆 Model 3 和 Model Y 电动汽车加贴警示标签，以明确在车辆断电等紧急情况下如何开启后车门。

As we learned earlier this year, Chinese regulators are getting more serious about the recent trend of electronically controlled car doors; a growing number of crashes have had fatal consequences when the occupants have been trapped in burning cars. Starting next year, new rules give specific dimensions for handles that must be followed by all newly approved vehicles. But cars that have already been on sale for some time, like the Models 3 and Y, are grandfathered in, at least until the end of 2028.

正如我们今年早些时候所了解到的，中国监管机构正愈发重视近期电子控制车门的趋势；越来越多的车祸案例显示，当乘客被困在起火的车辆中时，电子门锁可能导致致命后果。从明年开始，新规将对车门把手的具体尺寸做出规定，所有新获批的车辆都必须遵守。但像 Model 3 和 Model Y 这样已经销售一段时间的车型，至少在 2028 年底前享有“祖父条款”（即不受新规限制）。

But China wants Tesla to do something about the nearly 3 million cars already on its roads. It is requiring the automaker to add warning labels to the car interiors—something that will require physical access to the car. Additionally, Tesla will push out a software update that automatically lowers all the cars’ windows in the event of a collision.

但中国监管部门要求特斯拉必须对已经在路上行驶的近 300 万辆汽车采取行动。监管机构要求该车企在车内加贴警示标签，这需要对车辆进行物理接触操作。此外，特斯拉还将推送软件更新，在发生碰撞时自动降下所有车窗。

Tesla is also facing a second Chinese recall, this one only affecting 2.74 million cars. These require new software for their driver monitoring system, which currently only uses a torque sensor on the steering wheel to determine if the driver is holding the wheel and remaining engaged in the task of driving. Now, the update will leverage the interior camera in the Models 3 and Y to track the driver’s gaze instead.

特斯拉还面临第二次中国召回，此次涉及 274 万辆汽车。这些车辆需要为其驾驶员监控系统更新软件。目前的系统仅通过方向盘上的扭矩传感器来判断驾驶员是否握住方向盘并保持驾驶状态。现在，此次更新将利用 Model 3 和 Model Y 车内的摄像头来追踪驾驶员的视线。

However, Electrek has previously reported that Chinese Tesla owners have been able to defeat the cabin driver monitoring system—which it has rolled out to customers with its more advanced partially automated driving system—by mounting a doll’s head in front of the camera.

然而，据 Electrek 此前报道，中国的特斯拉车主曾通过在摄像头前放置玩偶头部的方式，成功绕过了车内驾驶员监控系统（该系统随其更高级的辅助驾驶系统一同向客户推送）。
