In China, a man lost his life after relying entirely on his car’s intelligent driving system while using his phone.

According to reports, the driver activated the vehicle’s smart driving mode and chose not to intervene, remaining focused on his phone instead of the road.

The vehicle subsequently collided with a barrier at high speed, resulting in the driver’s death and leaving the passengers with injuries. Authorities are investigating the incident and have reiterated warnings about the dangers of distracted driving, even when using automated driving systems.
