SUV crashes into roadside tree during smart driving incident in Sichuan, China

On May 5, 2026, in Sichuan, China, @Yìlǚkējì shared a dashcam video capturing a road accident involving a Fangchengbao Leopard 5 equipped with an upgraded Huawei smart driving system. In the video, the vehicle travels along a slightly curved roadway but fails to follow the lane and continues straight ahead before crashing directly into a roadside tree. According to the author, the intelligent driving system allegedly did not provide an emergency warning or avoidance maneuver before the collision. The impact triggered all airbags, and the vehicle was reportedly declared a total loss. The author stated that the smart driving system only disengaged after the crash and claimed the emergency obstacle avoidance function appeared not to activate during the incident.
