A Chinese language driver is relieved to have gotten out of a tough state of affairs with none accidents. The motorist, recognized by AutoHome as one Mr. Luo, was on the wheel of a Haval H6 when the cruise management turned caught on and the brakes failed.

Luo was driving the H6 crossover, made by Haval (a subsidiary of Nice Wall Motors) from Changsha, in Hunan province, to Yichun, in Jiangxi, a distance of just below 200 km (124 miles). He mentioned he had the cruise management set at a pace of just a little over 100 km/h (62 mph) when, lower than midway into his journey, in Zhuzhou, Hunan, he realized that he couldn’t decelerate.

With the brakes incapable of stopping the H6, and the cruise management unable to be canceled, Luo mentioned that he misplaced his composure and began crying. Fortuitously, he was in a position to acquire himself and name the freeway patrol, which scrambled a number of autos and arranged an escort for the runaway automobile.

From there, the police managed to get in contact with engineers at Haval, within the hopes of discovering an Apollo 13-style resolution for the issue. Sadly, regardless of everybody’s finest efforts, the crossover continued on down the freeway.

Because of the escort, and Luo’s driving, the automobile was operated safely till it ran out of gas in Guangdong, about 500 km (311 miles) down the street from the place he misplaced management, and practically thrice farther away than he had initially meant to drive.

Now that everybody is protected, the crossover has been despatched away to be checked out. Investigators will try to find out what led to the failure of the cruise management system and the brakes. We suspect, in the meantime, that it will likely be a very long time earlier than Luo trusts cruise management once more.
