Recently, a blogger shared that Xiaomi's 'sacrificing wheel to save car' strategy is actually a prevalent concept in automotive safety design and shouldn't be the subject of criticism. Delving into its history, it was Mercedes-Benz that first systematically implemented this design, incorporating relatively 'vulnerable spots' in its wheels, suspension systems, and subframes. In the event of a severe crash, these wheels are designed to detach first, aiming to safeguard the vehicle's body structure and ensure the utmost safety for occupants during extreme accidents. This innovative idea was initially put into practice in the Mercedes-Benz W111 model, which commenced mass production in 1959.
