Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

【Rebirth starts from 7 million】 【】

With the data support from Baidu Taxi, and Xiaoqi can also get free data from Tesla.

Combining the two, the development of autonomous driving technology is much faster than Luo Fan expected, and Mr. Lei was caught off guard.

Originally, Lei always felt that the venue for the internal test could be found slowly, and there was no need to rush.

But the technology was progressing too fast, Mr. Lei had to put down some matters related to the rice mobile phone in his hand, and began to search for suitable venues for internal testing all over the country.

After more than a month of exploration, Mr. Lei finally chose Liaoning SY City.

There are two reasons for choosing sy city. First, the attitude towards new energy vehicles is relatively friendly here, and they are willing to provide various policy support. If the internal road test results are better, Shenyang will also give them a chance for normal road tests.

Second, Shenyang belongs to the Northeast region, and the temperature in winter is relatively low. The batteries of many new energy vehicles are colder and less durable. Mr. Lei thinks that if it is tested in the Northeast, there will be no problem, and winter in other places should be no problem. up.

So Mr. Lei spent 50 million yuan to buy a 30-year commercial use right of more than 90 mu of land in the suburbs.

This piece of land is about 30km away from the center of sy, almost to the side of Fushun.

After Mr. Lei bought the right to use it, he immediately started planning the construction here.

At present, there is only a large wall here, and there are only a few half-repaired abandoned buildings in the southeast corner, and the rest is an empty concrete field.

According to people here, it was originally intended to develop a small private airport, but the owner who developed it gave up for some reasons and chose to go to another city, so this place was abandoned.

Mr. Lei chose this land because of the abandoned buildings and concrete ground here.

This saves a lot of time.

And Shenyang attaches great importance to this project in the experimental area of ​​new energy vehicles.

After all, this is considered a high-tech project, and there is actually a lack of such projects in the Northeast.

Therefore, for the follow-up construction of this land, the city also has a green light, and the preparatory work was completed in half a month. According to the plan, it will be officially completed in about two weeks.

Mr. Lei told Xiao Qi about the situation here via email, and Xiao Qi relayed it to Luo Fan.

After Luo Fan learned that Mr. Lei had basically secured the venue, he decided to start an internal road test with the current technology.

After Xiao Qi told Mr. Lei about Luo Fan's intentions, Mr. Lei began to contact some domestic auto manufacturers.

After some screening, Mr. Lei chose Changan Automobile to help customize the chassis of the car.

In this way, the new car chassis was delivered two weeks later, and the problem of the internal test site was also solved.

Mr. Lei originally wanted to invite Mr. Luo from Lion Battery to come and have a look at the venue with his own eyes, but Mr. Luo from Lion Battery refused, saying that he had made an agreement with Luo Fan, and that Luo Fan would inspect the site instead of him.

Mr. Lei heard the words and went to invite Luo Fan instead.

On Monday, April 16, 2018, Luo Fan took Su Qing to Shenyang by private jet.

【Rebirth starts from 7 million】 【】

This is Luo Fan's first visit to the Northeast in his past and present lives.

In his previous life, Luo Fan had actually been to many places, especially during the years when he worked in a game company affiliated to Penguin, he would follow the company's team to attend various press conferences every now and then.

But I have never been to the Northeast, I don’t know why various game conferences and meetings seem to avoid the Northeast on purpose.

It's just weird.

"Boss Luo, you're here!"

Mr. Lei's words interrupted Luo Fan's thoughts. After he exchanged pleasantries with Mr. Lei, Luo Fan and Su Qing took Mr. Lei's car to the internal testing site.

It took a total of 2 hours to walk here from the airport in Sy City, and it was already noon when Luo Fan and the others arrived.

Mr. Lei led Luo Fan to the cafeteria here, and had lunch with the staff here.

Lunch is in the form of a buffet, and you can take all kinds of dishes at will, but you can't waste it.

Luo Fan is not used to eating under such people's gaze, so he didn't eat much. On the other hand, both Su Qing and Mr. Lei ate deliciously.

After finishing lunch, Mr. Lei led Luo Fan and Su Qing to the office and asked them to rest for a while.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chief Lei led Luo Fan and Su Qing to the internal testing site.

There are 30 vehicles with only chassis and four wheels parked here.

"Mr. Luo, this is Mr. Guo Fuda, Mr. Guo. He is the main person in charge of our internal testing." Mr. Lei pointed to a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early 40s.

"Hello Guo Gong!" Luo Fan offered to extend his hand.

Guo Fuda reached out to shake hands with Luo Fan and said, "Mr. Luo, hello! I've heard you famous for a long time!"

"Mr. Guo, you're welcome. I need to trouble you to introduce him to us today."

"No trouble, no trouble, Mr. Luo, Mr. Lei, the chassis used in these 30 cars are specially customized by us from Changan Automobile.

The autopilot technology of the car was provided by Mr. Lei. We were responsible for assembling it on the car, and then equipped with laser sensors and microwave sensors around the car. We configured a total of 8 groups.

At this stage, our main test is whether there are any obvious loopholes in the runtime programs of these cars under different scenarios. "Guo Fuda said.

"The concrete floor, gravel road, various obstacles, and moving dummies are all for the purpose of testing the interior of the car?" Luo Fan asked.

"Yes."

"Then Guo Gong, what are the speeds of these cars?" Su Qing asked.

"At present, the fastest speed is 20 yards per hour, because at this stage, it is mainly to find loopholes in the driving of the vehicle. For the convenience of observation, the speed is limited to 20 miles. Good watch vehicle."

"So that's the case, are the energy sources of these cars batteries?" Su Qing then asked.

"Yes, it's the battery. The battery we are currently using is an experimental product sent by Lion Battery. While we are testing the autonomous driving technology, we are actually testing this battery."

"How is the overall driving effect?" Luo Fan asked.

"It's not bad, there have been no accidents so far, and the level of sophistication of this self-driving technology should be no worse than that of Tesla.

However, the running-in between the battery and the autonomous driving technology is not very good. The performance of this battery should be stronger than most batteries on the market.

But after our tests, our current maximum range is only half of the estimated range.

But even so, we still have an advantage over ordinary new energy vehicles in terms of power, which is a little stronger than Tesla's battery life.

If the algorithm and the battery can be completely matched, this gap will be more obvious. "

"What about charging? Is it convenient to charge? How long does it take to fully charge?" Luo Fan asked.

"It's very convenient here. I have added an automatic charging function to the vehicle program. Once these cars are almost out of power, they will return to the charging place to charge themselves. The charging time usually takes 8 hours."

"Overall, it's not bad." Luo Fan gave his own evaluation.

Mr. Lei smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, we have actually gained a new harvest during this period. I think we can extract this automatic charging function and the obstacle avoidance technology from the automatic driving technology.

Then reprogram and practice for a period of time to apply this technology to intelligent sweeping robots. At that time, our sweeping robots should be better than the sweeping robots on the market. "

"I'm not interested in this, Mr. Lei, you can take care of it yourself." Luo Fan said.

"Okay! Then I will develop it myself. Our full smart home of rice just needs a sweeping robot."

Then Luo Fan and his team entered the testing ground under the leadership of Guo Fuda.

The cars in the test field were running normally, but Mr. Lei and Guo Fuda passed through the training field as if they didn't see these cars.

Seeing this, Luo Fan originally wanted to follow suit, but Su Qing felt that it was too dangerous, so she dragged Luo Fan tightly and refused to let him go.

In desperation, Luo Fan had no choice but to ask Guo Fuda to stop the car before he walked over.

After Luo Fan and Su Qing passed through the test field, the car restarted and started various tests.

"Mr. Luo, at present, the maturity level of our autonomous driving technology is at least at the same level as that of Tesla, so Mr. Luo just passed through without any problem.

Moreover, we have added a safety protection system to all cars, which is composed of laser, microwave, and ultrasonic sensors, and can be called a 100% anti-collision system.

Our automatic driving system has now entered the second phase of testing. After meeting certain standards, we can prepare to apply for road testing. "

"What is the specific standard?" Su Qing asked.

"In our premises, at a speed of 100 yards, at least 1 million kilometers of travel without any accidents, if a major accident occurs, it will need to be postponed."

"1 million kilometers? Is it so long?"

"This is a rigid requirement from above, and there is nothing we can do about it," Mr. Lei said.

"Boss Lei is right, Boss Luo, we are in our own venue now, we can do whatever we want, but if we want to apply for a road test, a lot of data must be prepared in the early stage."

Luo Fan nodded to express his understanding.

"How long will it take before the real road test?" Su Qing asked.

"For at least half a year, the road test of ordinary car companies is to test the performance of the car, but we are testing driverless technology, and our requirements are higher." Guo Gong replied.

【Rebirth starts from 7 million】 【】

"By the way, Mr. Guo, I heard that there are some ethical disputes about autonomous driving technology in foreign countries?" Su Qing turned around and asked.

Luo Fan was taken aback when he heard the words, why hadn't he heard of Su Qing's question?

Gong Guo nodded in agreement: "The lady is right, although the technology of unmanned driving is not yet mature, there will always be serious traffic accidents.

But according to many peers and Tesla's internal predictions, it is actually a matter of time before the technology matures. As long as there is enough data, computer driving will be more than ten times safer than human driving.

It's just that even if it's a computer, it's impossible not to make mistakes. Leaving aside the chip card machine or program problems, the priority selection under normal accident conditions makes this problem almost unsolvable.

There are many ethical issues in this. There are a few controversial ones within Tesla. One is that if the car loses control, there is a row of about 20 elementary school students in front, and the river is on both sides of the road, how should the car computer be selected? "

Su Qing thought for a while and said: "Although life is priceless, according to normal values, it should be to protect students and drive to the river."

Guo Gong said: "Yes, many people in Tesla also think so, but Mr. Lei, the priority of protecting such a car is not the car owner. Would you buy it? If the public knows this, they will still buy it. ?

But if you choose to protect drivers, once the society finds out, it will be another huge public crisis. "

"That's true." Su Qing frowned and said.

"In addition, there is actually another situation. When the car encounters an emergency, the artificial intelligence in the car needs to know which position has priority, so that the computer will choose the collision position."

"That is to say, we need to choose first. After a car accident, who should the system protect first?" Luo Fan asked.

"That's right, but Mr. Luo, if this is the case, after buying a car equipped with mature automatic driving, the person sitting in the co-pilot may support the object abandoned by the system in case of an accident."

"Can't there be no priority?" Su Qing asked.

"No, a system, in any case, has a primary and secondary. If I mean that if I have a strong artificial intelligence in my hand, then only the owner of this strong artificial intelligence will have 100% authority.

Others can only have the permissions granted by the master. Of course, there is no such thing as strong artificial intelligence, but this is true for strong artificial intelligence, and even more so for ordinary systems.

The distinction between primary and secondary is very important to the system. If there is no distinction between primary and secondary, the system will not know how to deal with it, and it will cause more damage.

In fact, there are many similar ethical, legal, and moral issues. When people drive cars, we don’t need to consider this point, because the drivers themselves don’t know it, but the system must input it in advance. "

After listening to Guo Gong's words, Luo Fan sighed and said, "This is really the problem of the century!"

"Boss, this kind of problem may only be resolved by the law. I just heard it from my friend before, but I didn't expect it to lead to so many problems." Su Qing explained.

【Rebirth starts from 7 million】 【】

Guo Gong shook his head and said: "Miss, you are wrong. There is a high probability that this kind of problem will never be solved, because..."

Mr. Lei saw that Mr. Guo was going to continue, and quickly interrupted him: "Okay, okay! We don't need to think too much about these philosophical problems. The most important thing now is to improve our automatic driving technology.

Ethical and moral issues should be left to philosophers to deal with, rather than we have been arguing here. "

After speaking, Mr. Lei glanced at Luo Fan, for fear that Luo Fan would have a bad impression of self-driving technology and new energy vehicles because of these ethical issues, which would affect the cooperation between Rice and Lion.
