Core Development: Safety Mechanism Does Not Cover Low-Resistance Scenarios Involving Children

Technical verification confirmed that the resistance experienced when the front passenger seat was folding in the widely circulated video did not reach the anti-clamping trigger threshold, so the system did not activate its rebound protection. The company emphasized that the seat incorporates multiple safety features: folding is prohibited when occupancy or seatbelt insertion is detected, voice-initiated operations require secondary confirmation, and physical buttons allow for emergency stop.
