Photo source: the safety problem of sharing car in photo network is getting more and more attention. Once there is a traffic accident, who is responsible for it is a big problem. Recently, a shared car in the parking lot of a commercial square in Hexi, Changsha, was suspected to be out of control and collided with a two wheel electric vehicle, resulting in 1 death and 3 injuries. After the incident, the driver of the shared electric vehicle said: "the car is out of control and can't stop." However, xiaolinggou, the sharing car operator, said that the vehicle involved had been rented for half a year, and there was no abnormality before the incident, nor was it in the state of repair application. The annual inspection procedures were also normal, and the next annual inspection was in June 2020. At present, the specific cause of the accident is being identified, and there is no final conclusion. "Shared cars do have problems such as vehicle condition. If the problem is vehicle failure after verification, operators should pay more attention to the daily inspection of vehicle condition." Sun naiyue, an analyst with Analysys, told the first financial person yesterday that if a traffic accident occurs while driving, the person who caused the accident usually needs to bear the responsibility for the accident. Han chaoze, a lawyer from Beijing Dacheng (Xi'an) law firm, thinks that if the platform leases vehicles to users and traffic accidents happen, which is the responsibility of the motor vehicle party, the insurance company usually makes compensation within the limit of compulsory traffic insurance, and the motor vehicle user (i.e. the user) bears the compensation liability for the insufficient part. Only if the leasing platform is at fault for the damage, it needs to bear the corresponding compensation Responsibility. Therefore, the rental platform needs to ensure the safety of the vehicle when it is rented, and the user is in a suitable driving state, and purchase vehicle compulsory insurance and commercial insurance. It's worth noting that this is not the first accident of shared cars. With the keywords of "shared cars" and "traffic accidents", the first financial reporter found that there are 80 civil cases related to it through the inquiry of China judicial document network. In these cases, some of them are cases in which the sharing car operators bear the responsibility. Some of them hold that the car operators should bear the responsibility according to their fault degree as the car lessors, while others hold the car operators jointly and severally liable for the benefit of the car operation. Most of them are due to the failure of the leasing company to perform the obligation of prudent audit. For example, when users apply for a car, they only need to upload their driver's license, ID card, advance deposit and other processes to drive on the road, but it is difficult to effectively supervise the problem of "non conformity of people and vehicles". In some accidents, some drivers don't even have a driver's license or have a short driving experience. At present, the whole industry generally has problems such as lax auditing and lack of supervision. Chen Shu, a deputy of Changsha Municipal People's Congress, said in an interview with the media that shared cars have the advantages of high resource utilization, easy user experience and low price. Compared with private cars, taxi drivers and traditional car renters, they have unique advantages. These problems should not be "one size fits all", or they are contrary to the purpose of serving the city. For example, it can guide the sharing automobile enterprises to improve the user's use threshold, such as verifying the user's actual driving experience and skills through the actual or simulated driving assessment, setting different operation authority according to the driving time, and reviewing the user's economic capacity to deal with the risk of traffic accident compensation. At present, there are still few administrative measures and relevant legal documents for the sharing of automobiles. In May this year, the Ministry of transport and other six ministries and commissions jointly issued the measures for the management of funds for users of new forms of transportation (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the "measures"), which specifically stipulated the collection of funds for users of new forms of transportation, including shared automobiles, the opening of special deposit accounts, and the establishment of a joint working mechanism to strengthen supervision, etc. from the source We should guard against the risk of users' funds, strengthen the protection of users' rights and interests, and promote the healthy and stable development of new forms of transportation. The "management measures" has been implemented since June 1, which to a certain extent reduces the occurrence of "deposit gate" events, but no relevant provisions have been made on security loopholes and other aspects. "For the issue of security loopholes, relevant government departments need to issue regulatory programs as soon as possible. The sharing car operators should also strengthen internal supervision and establish some early warning mechanisms. As a user, we should also earnestly implement the relevant agreements and regulations issued by the operators. " Cao he, a venture capital of Zhongrong, told the first financial reporter that the current development of shared cars is not smooth, and the emergence of these security loopholes has brought adverse effects on the whole industry. Strengthening safety supervision is bound to increase costs, which is a big test for the vast majority of struggling car operators. At present, the car sharing enterprises youyou car, ezzy and Muggle travel have successively announced the dissolution or suspension of services. At the beginning of this year, Tuge was also complained by users about the difficulty of refunding the deposit. In addition, car2go has officially withdrawn from the Chinese market. "The withdrawal of small and medium-sized enterprises from the market is a normal market reshuffle. The industry as a whole is still developing, such as the first two gofun trips, the vehicle scale of evcard this year, and the city coverage are all improving. " Sun told reporters. In order to survive, sharing car operators have adjusted their strategies to reduce other costs as much as possible. At present, although gofun has made profits in 54 cities, the CEO of gofun said frankly that the company has been reducing the proportion of its heavy assets. "In the past, the supply of GoFun vehicles was single, and the main reason was to pay for them. Since last year, new models have accounted for more than half of the total, and older models have been phased out slowly. Gofun has started to work with auto finance companies, used car companies, engine manufacturers and insurance companies to share costs, so as to reduce costs and reduce the burden on the platform. " Tan Yi told the first financial reporter. Recently, gofun has also signed a contract with Huawei, sap, new energy, and other main engine plants to cooperate in car sharing transformation.
