Chapter 156 The Smart Cockpit of Artificial Intelligence (for Subscription)
Since the Phoenix New Energy Vehicle Division was spun off from the Phoenix itself and became the Phoenix New Energy Vehicle Company under the Phoenix Group, the structural framework and personnel organization of the Phoenix New Energy Vehicle have become more reasonable and efficient.

Previously, the New Energy Vehicle Division was affiliated with the Phoenix Group, a department of the Phoenix Group, and all decisions and developments required Hu Lai to personally intervene.

Now that it has become an independent enterprise, all business decisions have been left to Zhang Feiyang's management, and Hu Lai only needs to care about major decisions.

The most important thing is that after Phoenix New Energy Automobile became an independent company, Phoenix Automobile's finances are fully controlled independently, and its status has changed from the previous group "big pot meal" to now being the master of its own.

After becoming the master of the house, of course, the more the company earns, the better the employee benefits will be. Naturally, the enthusiasm of the employees will be greatly improved.

The most obvious, such as the previous order of Phoenix Shared Car "Mayfly", after Phoenix Shared Car placed the order, the fee will be paid directly by Phoenix Shared Car to the Phoenix headquarters, and the new energy vehicle department is only responsible for production.

Under such a model, the management and even grassroots employees of the new energy vehicle business unit are not very enthusiastic about vehicle improvement and cost control.

After all, it is only responsible for production, and it is enough to make no mistakes.

And now it's completely different.

After being in charge, for example, if Phoenix Shared Cars places an order for a thousand "Dragonfly", the cost of the thousand orders will be paid directly to the Phoenix New Energy Vehicle Department!
The income from this order is completely used by Phoenix New Energy Automobile.

Of course, when Phoenix Shared Cars places an order, it also puts forward various requirements for quality and after-sales service. Operational vehicles like "Mayfly" and "Dragonfly" are more stringent about quality.

In this way, from the top management to the grassroots, the only idea is how to reduce the cost of car manufacturing, reduce the number of after-sales maintenance, and increase profits while ensuring quality.

After all, the higher the profit, the better the business benefits, and the higher the performance bonus for everyone.

Under various incentive systems, the employees of Phoenix burst into great enthusiasm.

"Boss, let me tell you that Zhang Feiyang is indeed a bit good."

"After several internal department adjustments and personnel adjustments, not only the efficiency has been improved, but the enthusiasm of the employees has also been significantly improved!"

Hu Lai and Director Zhang came to Fenghuang New Energy Automobile Factory together. Although they were separated from the headquarters in Fenghuang, their factory area is still in the original factory area, so Director Zhang has a better understanding of the situation of the New Energy Automobile Factory.

Hu Lai nodded. He has been to the factory a few times recently, and every time he comes, he can clearly feel the obvious changes.

"It's really good."

"It is much more standardized now than when we produced 'Mayfly', and the whole production workshop also looks much more formal."

"Do you still remember that when we were producing the 'Mayfly' chassis, Wang Dahammer could easily enter our production workshop, which shows how many loopholes there were in the management at that time."

Director Zhang naturally knew about this. At that time, Li Keran was still in charge of the entire new energy business department. Li Keran was only an electrical engineer, and it was normal for him to have no experience.

"Boss, I am convinced now."

"A senior talent like Zhang Feiyang who used to manage an industrial base with an annual production capacity of one million vehicles and tens of thousands of employees in Didi has better management ability than someone like me."

Hu Lai glanced at Director Zhang curiously, but he didn't expect that Director Zhang would consider himself inferior.

At the beginning, he did not hesitate to directly pay the liquidated damages of the non-competition agreement and also recruited Zhang Feiyang because he valued his strong management ability.

What Zhang Feiyang can bring to Phoenix is ​​not only the management of Phoenix's new energy vehicles, but also the establishment of a complete management system.

In the future, Phoenix will only expand bigger and bigger, and there will only be more and more departments.

Han Ming's ability to manage a factory with hundreds or thousands of people can still be managed. A company that really needs tens of thousands of people still has to rely on a mature management system.

And Zhang Feiyang undoubtedly has such an ability, and has become an important support for Phoenix!
"Old Zhang, your growth is also very fast. You and Zhang Feiyang each have their own advantages."

"You did a great job at the press conference a few days ago, and even the recent online promotion of 'Qingluan'!"

Director Zhang laughed. He used to be the manager of the Phoenix Bicycle Marketing Department. Later, after Han Ming was in charge of electric motorcycles, Director Zhang became the director of the bicycle factory.

However, the business of the bicycle factory is a traditional business, and the business volume is not too much. On weekdays, he helps Hu Lai handle the odds and ends of the entire group.

Unexpectedly, this time Hu Lai asked him to be responsible for the promotion of "Qingluan" on the Internet, specializing in model 3, but it showed his excellent publicity ability.

"Boss, don't talk about this."

"The 'Qingluan' project team is probably waiting to report in the meeting room. Let's go to the meeting room, the second floor."

"it is good."

Hu Lai didn't say much, this time he came to the factory because the first batch of "Qingluan" test vehicles rolled off the production line, and the project team had to conduct a simple report and display.

The two walked quickly to the meeting room. Sure enough, many employees had already arrived in the meeting room. Zhang Feiyang hurried over.

When everyone saw Hu Lai, they all stood up and greeted him.

"Boss Hu, you're here."

"Boss Hu..."

Hu Lai nodded in response. When he walked into the conference room, he swept his eyes and suddenly found two people in the last row of the conference room who were discussing something with their heads down.

He walked over.

"Wei Ming, I think the rear row of 'Qingluan' should be designed like this. Two sensors must be added to know the weight and riding habits of the passengers in the rear row, so that the artificial intelligence can really learn to adjust the seat."

"And here, the rear air outlet must be here. I have calculated this position a hundred times. Only this position can truly achieve a constant temperature error of no more than 0.2 degrees in the rear area."

The two lowered their heads to discuss something, and one of them, Hu Lai, was very impressive. It was Wei Ming, the designer who had previously designed "Quick One" and "Dilitric Tricycle".

The exterior design and interior of "Qingluan" were also designed by him.

As for the person who spoke, Hu Lai seemed to have known him before, but he didn't quite remember it.

"Wei Ming, Du Xinxin, Mr. Hu is here!"

Seeing that the two of them were completely absorbed in the discussion, Zhang Feiyang hurriedly reminded them.

what?
Wei Ming raised his head to take a look, and immediately realized it.

He put down the Ipad in his hand, quickly pulled Du Xinxin beside him to stand up together, and shouted: "Boss Hu."

Hu Lai responded with a smile, and only then did he remember who Du Xinxin was beside him.

Du Xinxin is a senior talent who joined Phoenix Factory after the last FH0008 incident. He had already received an offer from Google and even got a visa, so he finally chose to join Phoenix.

After the introduction by HR at that time, Hu Lai had a special opinion once.

but.

Du Xinxin's major is not AI artificial intelligence. Do you study talents like Google's AlphaGo? How did you get to Phoenix New Energy Vehicles?

Zhang Feiyang saw Hu Lai's doubts, and explained: "Boss, it's like this."

"Du Xinxin originally conducted research on artificial intelligence projects at the Phoenix Research Institute, but now the research institute does not have any artificial intelligence projects that need to be implemented."

"After I learned about a senior talent like Du Xinxin, I specially asked him to help join the 'Qingluan' project team, hoping to provide some technical support for artificial intelligence, but..."

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at Du Xinxin.

Hu Lai was a little surprised.

Provide artificial intelligence technical support to the "Qingluan" project team?
You know, whether it is "Mayfly" or "Dragonfly", the various electronic configurations in the car are mainly based on the "future operating system", and it is enough to load various technologies such as CCSR electronic control technology, unmanned automatic driving, and blue sky motor technology. up.

how.

"Qingluan" still needs artificial intelligence technical support?
Seeing Hu Lai's surprised expression, Zhang Feiyang wanted to explain, but thought that the time for the meeting had already arrived, anyway, Du Xinxin would also explain at the meeting later, so he simply said bluntly:
"Boss, the scheduled meeting time is up, why don't we start the meeting?"

"Du Xinxin will also explain the matter of artificial intelligence later."

"fair enough!"

Hu Lai suppressed his curiosity, smiled at Wei Ming and Du Xinxin, and then went to the front row to sit down.

After a while, the meeting room fell silent.

"Leaders, colleagues..."

"Our first batch of 'Qingluan' engineering test vehicles have officially rolled off the assembly line. Today, colleagues from the 'Qingluan' project team will report on the specific situation of 'Qingluan' and the follow-up work arrangements..."

For each car company, the verification test phase of engineering test vehicles is a very important part. After the design of each mass-produced vehicle is finalized, it will start to conduct a lot of data testing.

Such as wind test, wind resistance test, transmission system test, electronic control system test, body strength, crash test, etc. The ultimate goal is to find as many problems as possible and correct them in time.

Therefore, the experimental stage is also the demonstration stage, and it is also the last chance to change before mass production.

After a brief opening statement, the meeting officially began.

"I'm Wei Ming, the exterior designer and interior designer of the 'Qingluan' project."

"For the appearance this time, our design team adopted more youthful elements and a large number of lines..."

"Now that our test vehicles have been produced, I won't go into details. Everyone can see it with their own eyes."

"On our interior..."

Wei Ming briefly introduced the design concept of the interior, then his eyes fell on Du Xinxin, and said:

"Although the interior of 'Qingluan' was designed by our design team, after Du Xinxin joined, a lot of content has been added. Next, let Du Xinxin tell everyone what needs to be tested during the test."

Hearing this, Hu Lai lifted his spirits.

He has seen the exterior and interior design of "Qingluan", and he already understands them.

On the contrary, what Zhang Feiyang said just now, Du Xinxin joined the technical support of "Qingluan" artificial intelligence, made him very curious.

Du Xinxin looked very handsome, walked quickly to the front desk, and quickly entered the state.

After a slight adjustment for two seconds, Du Xinxin opened the prepared PPT. When his professional content was displayed on the conference room curtain, his expression suddenly became extremely focused and serious.

Hu Lai was surprised, he had never seen such a confident and focused eyes of a person.

"I am very grateful to Mr. Zhang Feiyang for inviting me to join the project team of 'Qingluan', which gave me the opportunity to participate in the vehicle artificial intelligence project."

"However, I still want to say that Phoenix has such a good operating system and voice assistant. It would be a pity if we can't build a real smart cockpit to realize artificial intelligence!"

"So, I hope that all colleagues must conduct multiple rigorous tests during the test, and even the slightest problem must be recorded for feedback."

"It's about absolute user experience, about perfect human-computer interaction."

……

As soon as Du Xinxin came to the stage, he spoke surprisingly. Hu Lai looked at Zhang Feiyang beside him in surprise.

Zhang Feiyang smiled helplessly. It seemed that he had known Du Xinxin's temper for a long time.

Hu Lai became more and more curious.

"The project I participated in this time is - the smart cockpit."

"It is also the most important artificial intelligence application in new energy vehicles."

Smart cockpit?

Although Hu Lai had heard this term before, he didn't understand it very well.

"It is also the first time for me to participate in the development of a vehicle-mounted artificial intelligence project."

"However, after studying the artificial intelligence of many car companies at home and abroad, I found that the so-called smart cockpit of most car companies is actually only the initial stage of artificial intelligence."

"Even, I found that some models only have a voice assistant and a large central control screen, so they dare to say that they are smart cockpits!"

"This is just... too funny!"

Is not it?
Many of the colleagues who participated in the meeting were only professional test vehicle testers, not members of the "Qingluan" project team.

Even the members of the "Qingluan" project team are not very clear about the design of the interior and cockpit.

In everyone's impression, the so-called smart cockpit is to rely on the interface of the central control screen to realize various voice interaction, voice navigation and other commands, isn't it called a smart cockpit?

Even Hu Lai was lost in thought.

Strictly speaking, the "mayfly" and "dragonfly" of Phoenix's shared car are just "future operating system" plus "voice assistant".

If I have to say something more advanced, it is nothing more than the addition of unmanned automatic driving and multi-threaded voice assistants.

In fact, it is to control various electronic devices in the car through voice or through the operation of the large central control screen, such as turning on the lights, opening the windows, playing music, controlling the air conditioner, and so on.

But isn't this artificial intelligence?
"I am an AI artificial intelligence engineer, so I have more say in artificial intelligence."

"What is the greatest ability of artificial intelligence?"

"It's learning!"

study?

Hu Lai couldn't help being surprised.

Build an artificial intelligence in the vehicle system to learn?

When many people heard Du Xinxin's theory for the first time, their brains stopped.

What does the in-vehicle system learn?
"Everyone should know that Google's AlphaGo is the robot that defeated all the masters in the Go world."

"He is the most intelligent robot in Google now, and his greatest ability is learning."

"Now the so-called smart cockpits of most car companies don't have any ability to learn at all. What kind of artificial intelligence is this!"

"Design a set of programs, use voice to control various switches, open the door, turn on the lights, and turn on various devices. What is artificial intelligence!"

"This is an insult to artificial intelligence! This is speech recognition at best!"

"So, I want to talk about the integration of real artificial intelligence into 'Qingluan', so that car companies all over the world can take a good look at what a real smart cockpit is!"

This……!
Hu Lai couldn't help being stunned.

In the next second, Du Xinxin's words lifted his spirits:
"Let me give you an example..."

……

PS: Thank you for the monthly pass.

I remember to add more, don't worry, don't worry, remember, I will return it this week!

Wang Wang Wang.

Today I carefully sorted out the follow-up plot. Everyone gave me two days to save the manuscript. I will fix the update time so that the time is not fixed every day.
