My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 437 Talking Car

"Mr. Bao, what happened just now? Is the video real?"

"Yeah, could it be that the remote control is installed to engage in false propaganda?"

"President Bao, can you explain?"

Before Mr. Bao continued to explain the theme of this press conference, the reporters in the audience eagerly asked about the video just now.

"Talking car" is not important, you should explain "self-driving car" first.

In addition to the peers in the industry, even the columnists here are familiar with the various technologies of new energy vehicles. Naturally, they understand what the video just now means if it is true.

That means... today they will witness the world premiere of an A00-class mini car with automatic parking function...

"A new level of involution! Autonomous driving has entered the field of miniature vehicles?"

"The dying company releases an astonishing explosion!"

"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds of Idol New Energy!"

As long as they thought of the sensational effect that such headlines could cause, the reporters present seemed to have found the traffic code, and each of them seemed impatient, eager to verify the authenticity of the video.

And the pupils who were born in major classes almost stared out of their eyes.

If it is just pure automatic parking, there are not seven or eight technical routes, but three or four. If you pile up materials regardless of the cost, it is not impossible to achieve similar effects.

But the strange thing is, why is the scene of "parking failure" played continuously in the video, and finally the perfect storage?

For mature "automatic parking", it is a bit unnecessary.

Unless...the other party is implying...

The "automatic parking system" of this car has a self-learning function...

To know the iterative evolution of the current "automatic parking" technology, it can be roughly divided into four categories: "APA automatic parking", "RPA remote control parking", "self-learning parking", and "AVP autonomous valet parking". staged development process.

And "self-learning parking" is the third generation of cutting-edge parking technology.

It is almost only one step away from the fourth-generation autonomous valet parking technology of "get off the car and go, and drive to the car"!
Even the Xiaopeng G3, which will be released at the end of the year and has a similar automatic parking function, is currently only a quasi-third-generation product.

At present, Tesla is the only one that can really reach the third generation technically, and it is a high-end sedan version.

Is it impossible for a domestic company that is almost singing coolly to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Tesla when its technology in autonomous driving develops by leaps and bounds?

It's outrageous!

"Impossible! Cheating! This must be cheating!" Xiaopeng tried hard to maintain his three views.

"Ha ha!"

Facing the audience's doubts, Mr. Bao smiled confidently.

He took out his mobile phone and said something into the microphone.

"Bajie, help me park the car in the No. 1 parking space!"

【OK. 】A gentle mechanical sound came from the phone.

Then the next moment, the show car on the stage automatically flashed double flashes, and under the astonished eyes of everyone, it started to reverse at a slower speed...

Many parking spaces with different angles and orientations have already been drawn on the stage in advance.

At the same time, the large screen behind Mr. Bao switched immediately, and it seemed to be a projection of the car-machine interface.

The interface does not have a camera screen in the traditional sense, but a 3D simulation screen instead.

The highlighted blue car body, surrounding obstacles, automatically marked parking spaces...even Mr. Bao, who is standing aside, is displayed as a humanoid object without facial features.

In the end, the car accurately drove into the standard parking space marked with "1" with a side and rear parking action that was very precise in the eyes of veteran drivers.

When everyone was shocked, Mr. Bao seemed to feel that the display was not enough, and said into the phone microphone.

"Bajie, I don't like this parking space very much, so please help me park in the No. 5 parking space."

[Okay, we are about to switch to No. 5 parking space. 】

The show car slowly came out of the garage, changed the angle, and parked steadily into the No. 5 parking space by parking on the side.

Then there is parking space 3...

"Bajie, come and pick me up now."

【OK, just a second. 】

After the vehicle passed half of the booth, it stopped firmly in front of Mr. Bao...

"Wow~" There was an uproar in the audience, and the flashes flickered again.

Regardless of whether there is cheating or not, when there is no one in the driver's seat, a mobile phone can control the car to accurately recognize voice commands, and perform parking and summoning functions.

This scene in 2018, when new energy vehicles have just emerged and have not yet been popularized on a large scale, the sense of technology is absolutely bursting!
Even Tesla, which is currently the leader in autonomous driving in the world and started the automotive revolution with the "Madou" series, is almost at this level at present...

Could it be that the technical level of "Zi Dou" is almost catching up with "Bi Dou"?

"This is impossible!"

Seeing this, Xiaopeng already had a face full of shattered views.

In the scene just now, not to mention the level of automatic parking, the two advanced "mobile vehicle-machine interconnection" and "precise voice recognition" are rare high-end technologies in the market.

It is not necessarily the first of the other party, but it is definitely at the forefront of technology!

The point is... such an advanced intelligent control system is actually mounted on a miniature car that gives the impression of being "cheap" and "poor"...

This design...is simply unreasonable!

It's like the 86 of Fujiwara Tofu Factory. It is clearly covered with a cheap shell, but once the hood is lifted, it is a racing-level modification treasure!

The other two "friends" around him also looked unacceptable.

Could it be that Boss Bao knew that he couldn't compete with competitors in terms of hardware, so he secretly made efforts in software, and developed to such a level of wretchedness?
The point is...

"Crazy? Realize car-machine interconnection, smart assistants and automatic parking on miniature cars..."

How much material did Mr. Bao pile up on the car?How many lidars are installed?
But even if it's just one pile, the price of this car can't go to 10w+?
If you really have a budget of 10, who would buy a mini car?

What about market positioning?What about target customers?
Is it so capricious to build a car?
Satisfied with the off-court reaction, Mr. Bao continued to speak, and directly threw another shocking news!

"Everyone, the two new cars we released this time have completely abandoned the original third-generation 'Double Partner System'.

At the same time, it has strategically introduced the latest "Tianxuan Zhixuan" vehicle-mounted intelligent control full-scenario solution developed by Baiyeji Company! "

"Oh~" There was another burst of discussion in the audience, and many people showed sudden expressions.

"It turns out that foreign aid was brought in? No wonder the sense of technology...is completely different from before!"

"It's too good to keep it secret. There was no rumor at all before."

"Bai Yeji? Why haven't I heard of this company? Are there any dark horses in the industry?"

"It seems a bit familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere..."

"It seems that this is Mr. Bao's trump card. This press conference...seems interesting!"

Generally, new energy car companies will basically choose to develop their own car-machine systems unless they have to. After all, they will not be controlled by others at critical times.

Moreover, software is the core soul of new energy vehicles.

Software cannot be autonomous, and what it creates is just a shell without a soul.

The outsourcing of the software system as a whole can already show that Mr. Bao is almost at the end of his rope and can only use external forces to try to turn things around.

"The 'Tianxuan Zhixuan' system...uh..."

After all, he was sharpening his gun before the battle, and Mr. Bao actually forgot his words in the middle of speaking, picked up the cheat sheet in his hand, and continued to introduce after reading the content on it.

"Cough! This system brings together a number of the most cutting-edge intelligent networking technologies in the market, including in-vehicle Internet of Things, digital maps, smart cars...

After receiving the intellectual blessing of the 'Tianxuan System', our car-machine system has also greatly improved in terms of intelligent applications!
For example, supported by the 'Tianxuan' system, it can provide users with a variety of intelligent services closely related to driving and travel, such as vehicle condition checking, vehicle remote control, vehicle fault diagnosis, driving reports, charging pile inquiries, and social entertainment.

For another example, in terms of keyless unlocking, various unlocking scenarios such as fingerprint unlocking on mobile phones, facial recognition unlocking, and voiceprint unlocking have been added.

In terms of assisted driving, the L3 level automatic parking function within a short distance has been realized.

At the same time, the supporting 'Tianxuan APP' can realize multiple functions including remote control and remote parking on the mobile terminal.

It can also be activated by voice, like operating Siri on a mobile phone, and various instructions can be given through voice interaction.

In addition, in addition to being equipped with dual nine-inch screens to provide users with a comfortable operation interface, it is also equipped with a new generation of intelligent voice assistant 'Bajie'..."

Everyone was stunned, there are three ways to unlock without a key...

Voiceprint unlock?
Have BBA's high-end cars reached this level of intelligence?
Many people have already started to roll their eyes in their hearts.

Compared with seeing is believing just now, this time, after all, hearing is believing. It gave everyone the feeling that...

This propaganda is obviously a bit false...

But after all, it is a new car launch conference, and which car companies are not boasting about it.

For a new technology, I can't wait to dig out ten professional terms.

"Well... as a 'talking car', rather than a new energy vehicle, we prefer to define it as an 'intelligent mobility robot'..."

Following Mr. Bao's commentary summary, the 3D models and parameters of the two models of Aidou D3 appeared on the big screen behind him...

The three children sitting in the front row automatically ignored the "talking car" and "smart mobility robot" that sounded like "boasting".

There are only a few of the most advanced smart voice assistants on the market.

Siri is mentally retarded, what kind of "talking car"...

Isn't it just adding a smart speaker!
Also "talking car"?
I didn't see that it was the theme of this press conference, but Mr. Bao just mentioned it vaguely, it was all fake and empty, and there was no substantive content at all.

This is obviously a lack of confidence!

Obviously, automatic parking is enough to be topical...

While they set this inexplicable "theme" as the failure of the press conference, they kept their eyes on the key parameters on the screen.

The strange thing is that nothing is written about the configuration, but a few brief parameters are simply marked.

The "Dou Niu Shi" version has a cruising range of 150km.

200km for the "Santa Beans" version? !
Um?It was a bit higher than expected, and the outside world predicted it would be around 180.

But the ending won't be any different.

In the latest subsidy rules, the maximum subsidy for pure electric vehicles with a comprehensive cruising range of 150-200km is only 1.5.

It is almost cut in half compared to before.

The subsidy difference of nearly [-] to [-] per car, unless it is sold at a loss, Mr. Bao can only choose to increase the price significantly.

But a mini-car with a price of about 5 has increased by [-] to [-], which is almost the same as being cut off from the market.

Even if you have the gimmick of "automatic parking", it's still cool!
"Phew~ I thought the other party would be able to make a comeback. It seems that I was thinking too much."

The little friends seemed to be relieved.

"Yeah, technology is flawed!
It is unreasonable to sell the car at a loss without getting the subsidy. If you don't want to reduce the cost, you are still desperately stacking materials to play smart! "

"Hehe! Maybe they want to enter the high-end field with a miniature car?"

"High-end? Is it possible that he still wants to set the price at 20?"

"Hehe... Now I'm a little curious about the other party's pricing strategy."

"I guess it should be around 12w."

"Well... I'm more optimistic than you, it should be around 10w."

"Hehe! Then I'll make a compromise and guess 11w."

The three of them spoke relaxedly, and even started a bet.

Idol has fallen, and those entrepreneurs who are also new energy vehicles will inevitably feel a little bit sad.

But if idols are alive, they are their potential competitors.

Relatively speaking, they naturally don't want another strong competitor to pop up in the already crowded domestic market.

After all, the series of operations of this new car just now really scared them a lot.

"Mr. Bao, don't be a fool, tell me, what is the price of this car!"

A reporter from the audience urged.

"Yes, what is the price of a mini car with automatic parking function? If it is not expensive, I will consider buying one for my road killer!"

"Haha! Mr. Bao, quickly reveal the answer and let this guy give up!"

There was a burst of laughter below.

Mr. Bao heard the words, but he didn't directly reveal the answer to the mystery. Instead, he looked at the reporter who said he was going to buy a car for his wife with a smile on his face, and then spread his hands.

"I don't know the price of this car. Why don't you let this gentleman come up and ask about this car yourself."

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.

If the boss doesn't know the price of his new car, it's a joke, but...

Come up and ask yourself this car?

What do you mean?
The reporter was obviously a social cow, so he didn't hesitate, he just took the microphone handed by the staff, and came to the stage in two or three steps.

"Mr. Bao, that... how should I ask?"

"Hehe! The first step is to open the car door."

"Hahaha……"

The audience was directly amused by Mr. Bao's words.

The reporter scratched his head, and under the guidance of Boss Bao, he opened the car door curiously and got into the cab.

The staff immediately stepped forward with the camera on their shoulders, and the large-screen lens was directly shown inside the car.

In all fairness, the new car designed by Aidou, no matter how many shortcomings it has, is indeed ambitious in terms of car display and intelligence.

In terms of hardware, it is at the forefront of new energy vehicles.

Two nine-inch screens are absolutely full of sincerity for a miniature car.

The reporter observed the interior of the car, thought it was good, and tried to speak in the same voice as Boss Bao just said.

"Bajie?"

A sound wave lights up on the main screen in front of you.

[Hello, what do you need? 】

This operation... is no different from the smart speakers on the market!
The reporter who thought he had figured out the questioning routine immediately threw off a burden.

"Ask me, how do you sell it?"

"Hahaha!" There was another burst of laughter from the audience.

The reporter, who thought he had shaken his wit, was proud of himself, but he didn't expect another wave of sound.

[If the company betrays me, I hope it will be sold by the catty. 】

"Uh……"

"Hahaha!"

The laughter at the scene grew louder.

This voice assistant actually picks up... It's interesting...

The reporters in the car were also excited, not to be outdone.

"Don't make trouble, I just want to ask, if I want to buy the same car as yours, how much will it cost?
But pay attention, my wife is in charge of the money, so I only have 3 in my pocket. You have to give me a discount as much as possible. [-]% off is not too little, and [-]% off is not too much. "

Many people laughed.

They all saw that the reporter was clearly making things difficult for the voice assistant.

After all, in this era of "artificial mental retardation", if your sentences are a little longer, your speech speed is a little faster, and your logic is a little more complicated, the other party's next sentence can basically only be "sorry".

Everyone was waiting to see Boss Bao make a fool of himself.

however……

[You are welcome to buy our products. This car is the top model of the idol company's 2018 'San Dou Shi', and the price of the bare car is 6.98w.

Small profits and small profits, [-]% off and [-]% off are not included in the company's current promotion plan.

In view of your current situation of insufficient funds, the following solutions are provided.

[-]. Payment in installments.

The company provides customers with a preferential financing plan with the highest zero down payment and a maximum of 5 years.

Second, find another new love.

Let's take a look at the low-end version of this car "Dou Niu Shi".

Three, once and for all

Let me meet your lady.

Believe me, meet me and she will fall in love with me in no time.

The problem of money, isn't this solved? 】

"Uh……"

Everyone was stunned.

They obviously didn't expect this "Bajie" to give such an answer.

The reporters in the car were also dumbfounded.

God damn once and for all, why do I hear you want to green me?
But having said that, the other party's logic seems to be correct?
What the hell!

This car...is it perfect?
