Izinkinga zitholwe ku-software yeVolkswagen Golf entsha ne-Skoda Octavia ezithinta ukusebenza kahle kohlelo lwe-eCall, uhlelo lokuvula lwezinsizakalo eziphuthumayo, oluyisibopho kuzo zonke izimoto ezimakethwe e-European Union kusukela ekupheleni kukaMashi 2018.
Ekuqaleni, izinkinga zitholwe kumayunithi ambalwa eVolkswagen Golf entsha - akwaziwa kahle ukuthi bangaki abathintekile - kodwa okwamanje i-Skoda iphinde yamisa ukulethwa kwe-Octavia entsha ngezizathu ezifanayo. Okwamanje, i-Audi noma i-SEAT, eyabelana ngesisekelo sobuchwepheshe esifanayo njengeGolf/Octavia ne-A3 kanye ne-Leon, ngokulandelana, abeze ngaphambili nezindlela ezifanayo.
AbakwaVolkswagen bakhiphe isitatimende esisemthethweni, esicacisa le nkinga, kanye nesinyathelo esesithathiwe ukuyixazulula:
“Phakathi nophenyo lwangaphakathi, sinqume ukuthi amayunithi e-Golf 8 angadlulisela idatha engathembekile esuka ku-software iye eyunithi yokulawula yeyunithi yokuxhumana ku-inthanethi (OCU3). Njengomphumela, ukusebenza okugcwele kwe-eCall (umsizi wekholi eziphuthumayo) akukwazi ukuqinisekiswa. (…) Ngenxa yalokho, iVolkswagen yavele yamisa ukulethwa kweGalofu 8 ngokushesha. Ezingxoxweni neziphathimandla ezinomthwalo wemfanelo, sibuyekeze inqubo eyengeziwe edingekayo yezimoto ezithintekile - ikakhulukazi, isinqumo sokuhoxiswa kwegalofu nesokulungisa nge-software yokuvuselela i-KBA ( I-Federal Authority for Road Transport) eJalimane ilindile ezinsukwini ezizayo. ”
isibuyekezo siyadingeka
Isixazululo, vele, sizoba isibuyekezo sesoftware. Kusazobonakala uma uhambo oluya esikhungweni sesevisi ludingeka noma luzokwazi ukukwenza ukude (emoyeni), isici esesitholakala kulesi sizukulwane esisha seGolf, Octavia, A3 noLeon.
Ngaphandle kokumiswa kokulethwa kwezimoto ezintsha, ukukhiqizwa kweVolkswagen Golf entsha kanye ne-Skoda Octavia kuyaqhubeka, ngangokunokwenzeka - bonke abakhiqizi basazabalaza nemiphumela yokuvalwa ngenkani ngenxa ye-Covid-19.
Amayunithi akhiqizwe okwamanje azopakwa isikhashana alinde ukuthola isibuyekezo sesofthiwe ngaphambi kokuthunyelwa ezindaweni zawo zokudiliva.
Akukhona okokuqala kwaVolkswagen benenkinga yesoftware. Kuphinde kwaba nemibiko esikhathini esingeside esidlule ngezinkinga zesofthiwe esetshenziswa i-ID.3, okuphuma kokunye okuphuma kugesi kwe-MEB (inkundla ezinikele kagesi). Nokho, iVolkswagen ilugcinile usuku obeluhlelelwe ukwethulwa kwemoto kagesi ekuqaleni kwehlobo.
