A video evaporated, and the 11.7 billion market value flew away: What did you step on?

Three different batches of Venerable Realm V800 were broken in the same test.

is broken in the same position - the brake pedal bracket. The shape of the fracture is almost the same. The third, fourth, and second full brakes, 100 km/h brake to 0, one foot down, the metal first admitted defeat.

Then, the hot search exploded. And then the video is gone.

a section of steel,

stepped on a million-level myth


01

Zunjie V800, launched on August 5, priced from 766,000 to 1,016,000. Together with the V680, it pushed the brand jointly created by Jianghuai and Huawei from the flagship sedan to the ultra-luxury MPV table.

After 24 hours on the market, Da Ding broke through 3,500 units. At that time, the parameter was glory, and the endurance was a medal. Huawei's two words were posted on the front of the car, which was a ticket to the next era.

But now, the ticket is still there, but the car is going to enter the store to check.

Sarcasm? Not sarcasm.

In the industry that tells the most "smart" stories, life and death are often decided by a piece of iron that tells the least story and speaks the least.

It doesn't know what to call end-to-end, it doesn't know what to call getting on the big model, it only recognizes one thing - your foot down, what direction the force comes from, and how big it is.

Three versions of "The Truth"


02

After the incident, three explanations emerged as to why the pedal was broken.

Zunjie said: The braking system is higher than the national standard and the line standard, and the whole process is verified; since delivery, such fractures have never occurred in the actual use of the user.

In other words, this is a "non-standard extreme test condition".

Cher Di said: 100km/h emergency braking is the basic project of the actual test of the car. Who wouldn't dare to step on it on the highway?

After disassembly, the person in charge of testing judges that the bracket may not be able to withstand the instantaneous peak load.

The third voice, from Yuan * Bin, chairman of Wuhu Bo * *: It is difficult for ordinary drivers to step on the pedal and break it. The tester may have side force, and the bracket is "broken".

Before he could speak, Bethel urgently clarified that Venerable Realm was not a company customer and did not supply pedals for the V800.

A video of tens of seconds, the three sides holding each other's words.

The truth has not arrived yet, the position has arrived first.

Cold mechanics,

Denying AI's Narrative


03

It is necessary to say something about AI that is not well listened to.

In the past two years, the entire industry has been carnivaling for "smart". Smart driving, smart cockpit, big models, Embodied AI, capital chasing, the press conference is more dazzling than ever. Venerable realm is precisely the sharpest sample in this carnival - Huawei's endorsement, Hongmeng's aura of wisdom, and the word "intelligence" is welded to the bones of the brand.

But a pedal struck the narrative back to its original shape.

AI can learn a million driving scenarios, but it can't calculate that a bracket will break at the second foot under lateral shearing force. It can schedule computing power, generate language, and predict road conditions, but it cannot redefine "safety redundancy" for one bolt.

This is not a failure of AI. Quite the contrary, this is the boundary where it should be seen most -

Intelligence is responsible for the boundaries of the imagination, creating the bottom line of the imagination.

It can make the car smarter and smarter, but as long as one physical part can't hold it, all the intelligence will collapse into the same pit. Cars are never a pure software problem, it's the product of software multiplied by hardware. One factor goes to zero, and the entire transcript is zero.

The faster the industry runs, the more it has to look back at the most inconspicuous screw.

Video evaporation:

A Silent Burial in the Age of Algorithms


04

Even more disturbing than the broken shaft is the disappearance of the video.

Station B shows "The manuscript is invalid", Weibo cannot find the main video, the video number prompts "The video cannot be played due to violations", and only the old content of July 27 remains on TikTok. An information note reprinted by the official media was also deleted a few hours later.

The platform has different calibers and the reason is ambiguous. No one can say for sure, whether the publisher pressed the delete button or the platform silently covered the lid.

That's where you need to be most vigilant.

We live in an age where algorithms distribute everything. What you see is sifted through the recommended stream; what you can remember is fed to your mouth by a hot search. When a video about safety can "evaporate all over the net" in a few hours, the public can catch it, leaving only scattered screenshots and word of mouth. The information is not deleted, it is diluted - diluted so that no one can spell the whole picture.

Technology has given us unprecedented transparency and shielding. The same algorithm is both a magnifying glass and a silencer.

K-line reactions,

More honest than anyone.

The opening of Jianghuai Automobile fell to a halt of 22.25 yuan, which was the second consecutive trading day to hit a halt. The total market value was 61.922 billion yuan from September 30, and the two trading days once shrank by about 11.767 billion yuan.

Money flows, and answers are always given sooner than public relations notes.

For Jianghuai, the burden of respecting the world is particularly heavy. In the first half of 2026, revenue was 22.130 billion yuan, an increase of 14.31% year-on-year, but the net profit attributable to the company was 749 million yuan. In the semi-annual report, it is clear that focusing on advantageous resources will ensure the commercial success of the respected world.

Zunjie promises to optimize the design of the bracket base, provide free upgrades for the delivered users, and systematically review the design verification, test boundaries and production quality. But the range of the vehicle, the difference in parts, and the start-up time have not yet been answered.

For owners and prospective owners, the question is specific: do you want to enter the store? What's changed? When is my turn?

How high the AI can fly,

Depends on how steady the brakes are


This controversy may not end perfectly. The complete working conditions, raw data, fracture mechanism, and upgrade plan are still hanging in the air.

But it's a wake-up call for the industry.

In our time, we are too good at running forward. Reckoning power, chasing parameters, chasing explosive money, chasing every word of the conference "far ahead". But the real decision of how far an enterprise can go is often not how fast it runs, but after falling and hurting, dare not take the car apart and let everyone see it clearly.

Transparent retesting, open data, frank responses - these are not sexy, not eye-catching, but they are the only way for the brand.

Even a smart car needs to be able to hold the brakes.
