At the 2024 Nanjing International New Energy Automobile Exhibition on March 24th in southern China, witnesses reported a shocking incident where a vehicle from the Jike platform directly collided with cars exhibited at the BYD booth opposite, injuring several people, and there’s a driver inside the Jike car. Beside the vehicle, an employee wearing an ID badge and a young boy lying on the ground were unable to rise. "What were you thinking? You hit my son," a father demanded, knocking on the Jike car window, questioning the occupants about the collision.

On the evening of March 24th, Jike issued a statement regarding the incident, stating that at a car show in Nanjing, a Jike X exhibition vehicle accidentally started during a user experience, resulting in injuries to five spectators and damage to adjacent booth vehicles.

After the incident, the organizers swiftly cleared the area to ensure safety. Jike personnel immediately alerted the authorities and transported the injured to receive medical treatment, actively assisting them. Currently, all five spectators are confirmed to be out of danger, with three discharged after examination, while the other two with minor injuries are undergoing further checks in the hospital.

Meanwhile, Jike is actively negotiating and properly handling subsequent matters with the exhibition organizers and other relevant parties. Jike's Nanjing regional investigation confirmed that due to mismanagement of the exhibition vehicles, the display car was not in the prescribed display mode but rather in the parked comfort mode, with the car key within effective use range. Currently, Jike has urgently initiated a nationwide self-inspection of exhibition vehicles to prevent similar risks.

According to industry insiders, the display mode is a specific mode for vehicles mainly used for showcasing. In this mode, the vehicle's powertrain, air conditioning, etc., are disabled via software, while the large screen interaction and other functions of the vehicle are still accessible. Once the display mode is activated, the vehicle cannot be driven during static display, and high-voltage power output is disabled, ensuring maximum safety during static display and preventing accidental vehicle movement during the exhibition. As new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, typically start silently and accelerate quickly, enabling display mode during static exhibition is particularly crucial.

3月24日，在2024南京国际新能源汽车展览会上，一辆灰色车辆直接撞向另一辆正在展示的车，而灰色车内有驾驶人员。“你想干吗？撞到我家儿子了。”一名父亲敲打车窗，质问车内人员为何撞人。在车辆旁，有一名戴工牌人员和一男童倒地不起。据目击者称，一辆极氪展台的汽车直接撞到对面比亚迪展台了，撞到好几个人。
3月24日晚，极氪发布关于这次意外事件的情况说明称，在南京某车展上，一辆极氪X展车在用户体验时意外启动，造成现场5名观众受伤，相邻展台车辆受损，事发后主办方已清场保障安全。事件发生后极氪相关工作人员第一时间报警并将伤者送医救治，同时积极协助伤者就医。目前已确认5名观众均无生命危险，其中3位经检查无恙后已出院，另外2位轻伤者仍在医院做进一步检查。同时，正在与车展主办方等相关方积极协商、妥善处理后续事宜。极氪南京区域经自查确认，因参展车辆管理失误，展车未按规定开启展车模式，处于驻车舒享模式且汽车钥匙在有效使用范围内。目前极氪已紧急在全国范围内开启展车自查，避免类似风险。
据业内人士介绍，展车模式是汽车的一种特定模式，主要用于车辆的展示。在这种模式下，通过软件禁用汽车的动力装置、空调等，但同时不影响车辆的大屏交互及其他功能的展示。展车模式开启后，车辆在静态展示过程中将无法行驶，高压电输出被禁用，可以最大程度确保静态展示安全性，避免因人为误操作，导致车辆在展示中行驶。由于新能源汽车尤其是纯电动汽车，启动时普遍无声，而且加速较快，因此，在其静态展示时开启展车模式尤为重要。
