The Black Technology Era of Xueba

This car has no steering wheel!

This car really doesn't have a steering wheel!

How could this car have no steering wheel!

The Porsche man is a little dizzy. How can a car without a steering wheel control the direction?

Just when the Porsche man was still doubting his eyes, the green light was already on.

Tianhe No. 01, in accordance with the instructions of the model lights, one acceleration to drive forward.

"Hey, Mingzi, do you know there are any cars on the market that don't have a steering wheel?"

Mingzi is a mechanic at a famous auto dealer in Jiangcheng. He is also an auto media with millions of fans and has a deep understanding of the auto industry.

As long as it is a car driving on the road, no matter if you are a domestic brand or a foreign brand, even if the annual sales volume is less than three digits, Mingzi knows it.

But Tianhe 01, Mingzi obviously had never heard of it.

"What did you say? A car without a steering wheel? Mr. Dao, are you kidding me? How can it be possible without a steering wheel? Even an electric tricycle has a steering wheel."

The Porsche Knife said: "It's true, I saw a minute ago that the car next to me didn't have a steering wheel, and the exterior and interior of the car are very cool! Especially the interior, I saw the person in the cab actually Lie down and play."

Mingzi said: "Take it down, Mr. Dao, you are absolutely dazzled. I have been in the auto media for five or six years, and I have never seen a car without a steering wheel."

Mr. Dao's eyes were full of flowers, and Mr. Dao himself was confused. Under the constant urging of the vehicles behind him, Mr. Dao came back to his senses and drove the Porsche across the zebra crossing.

On the roads of the city, Xiao Ming conducted several extreme tests on the Tianhe 01.

One is to temporarily change the destination.

On the criss-crossed streets of Jiangcheng with only one-way streets, Xiao Ming could change the location of his destination at will, and Xiao Chu, the driving assistant, could change the route at the most appropriate time and choose the best route.

The in-vehicle assistant is currently equipped with its own intelligent navigation system, which can directly connect with the traffic department and several major navigation systems to keep abreast of real-time road conditions, so there will be no situation of choosing a congested road when choosing a shortcut.

The second is to inform multiple destinations,

Xiao Ming can tell Xiaochu more than ten destinations in one breath. If he does not tell Xiaochu the order of his arrival, Xiaochu will make optimal planning of the route by himself.

The third is the free driving mode. When the user does not inform a clear destination, Xiaochu will drive freely in a circle limited to square kilometers.

In the process of driving, the speed of Tianhe No. 01 is automatically adjusted according to the actual situation of the road. When the traffic flow is relatively large, the speed is consistent with that of the vehicle in front, and a safe distance is guaranteed.

When the traffic flow is relatively small, the driving speed is the maximum speed limited by the current road.

Because of the precise calculation, Tianhe 01 will not suddenly accelerate or brake suddenly, making the vehicle feel frustrated.

Even if there are many people and vehicles, and the traffic conditions are complicated, the Tianhe No. 01 test vehicle has successfully completed all the experimental tasks.

The biggest sigh of Gao Siqi sitting in the car is that sitting is much more comfortable than driving.

This smooth ride experience will never make people feel irritable because of congested roads.

Gao Siqi said: "In the future, I will take Tianhe 01 to commute to and from get off work, and I will not worry that my driver's license points will not be deducted enough."

After half a day of experiments, Tianhe 01 returned to Pangu Science and Technology Park smoothly. When returning, Xiao Ming still chose the county road instead of the expressway using the automatic driving mode.

Since it is to be tested, it should be tested completely at one time, and selecting the county road is also to test the situation of the automatic driving mode on narrow roads again.

Tianhe 01 drove smoothly on the county road, and then saw the GT63S racing with Tianhe 01 in the afternoon.

It is said that this GT63S is also unlucky. It was stunned by a large truck while waiting for rescue. Now the butt of the car is a pile of scrap metal, and the people in the car have already come down, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"The county road is so bad because of these big trucks." Qian Yi looked back at the almost scrapped GT63S and prayed silently for it.

After returning to Pangu Science and Technology Park, Zhang Derui has more important things. He will talk about the summary of all the test data on the road today, and then the technical team will analyze it to see whether the performance of the vehicle and the state of the driving assistant's adjustment to the vehicle conditions are reasonable every second.

The data will be formed into a summary report and handed over to the Tianhe R\u0026D team for discussion, and finally Tianhe 01 will be optimized again.

There is no need for Xiao Ming to discuss technical issues. The issue that Xiao Ming wants to discuss is the future mass production of Tianhe 01.

The production of new energy vehicles is a brand new industry for Pangu Technology. Pangu Technology does not have a complete production line nor a complete sales channel.

At present, the only production line capable of new energy vehicles is the production line of the Tianhe 01 test vehicle. This production line does not have the capacity for mass production. If it is produced in this way, the cost of the Tianhe 01 will be quite high and it will not be competitive in the market. .

Tianhe 01 produces several important components, micronuclear battery pack, motor, on-board assistant, body (including interior) and chassis.

Among them, the micronucleus battery pack has a complete production line, and the car assistant can use the production line of Qinghe I wearable device.

There is definitely no problem with mass production of these two.

Because of the small size of the motor, it is also possible to quickly establish its own production line.

The biggest headache now is the body and chassis. Pangu Technology does not have its own production line for these two things. It will take a lot of time to rebuild the production line.

Zhang Derui said: "The production of the body is not difficult, any production line in Xiaguo can meet it, and the chassis is also passed, but some equipment needs to be added."

Xiao Ming said: "There are two options. One is to acquire an automobile company with a complete production line to improve the production line, and the other is to rebuild the production line by yourself."

Zhang Derui nodded and said, "That's what I mean. Personally, I mean to acquire a completed production line, because we only need a simple improvement to put it into use, and the body and chassis are not the core technologies."

Xiao Ming handed the problem to Xiaochu and asked Xiaochu to calculate the cost, including time cost and money cost. It is better to rebuild a complete production line or acquire a complete production line.

After a second calculation, Xiaochu came to the conclusion that the acquisition is more cost-effective than the new construction, because in terms of cost, Pangu Technology is more important that the time cost is not the economic cost.

"We compare the economic value created per unit of time with the pure economic value, and it is obviously more cost-effective to save time."

Xiaochu said: "The auto industry is also an industry with a market value of trillions."
