"It is true that our car is not registered in the capital, but we have this. With it, if it is not registered within a month, you can still run around." As she spoke, Qiao Ruida opened the document bag that came with the car and took it out. A paper temporary license plate was unfolded and placed at the bottom of the car's front windshield.

"Are you wrong? How could I remember that the temporary license is only valid for 15 days and cannot be used across districts." Du Qingqing, who has also passed the driving test and has a little understanding of some traffic rules, raised her doubts.

"The kind of temporary license you're talking about is a sky blue background with black characters and black outlines. It can only be used for driving within this city and is valid for 15 days. The temporary license that Director Shao applied for for us is a brown and yellow background. Temporary license plates with black letters and black outlines can be used by motor vehicles to travel across provinces and cities, and are valid for 30 days." Qiao Ruida casually introduced the differences between the two temporary license plates, then stepped on the accelerator, controlled the car to turn around, and headed towards the square. Drive outside. This customized MINIEV is driven by a pure electric motor, with smooth acceleration and negligible noise. Coupled with the excellent sound insulation performance of the body, all road noise and tire noise are isolated. The suspension system is also adjusted very well, neither soft nor hard, and the riding experience is excellent.

The pink MINIEV quickly drove out of the square and turned onto the Sixth Ring Road. After merging into traffic and driving normally, Qiao Ruida explained to Du Qingqing while operating the vehicle: "Qingqing, this customized MINIEV has an LV3 level of autonomous driving function, automatically recognizes traffic lights, automatically follows cars, and automatically changes lanes to overtake. , automatic lane merging, all of these can be achieved. If you are driving on a highway, set the destination and turn on the automatic driving function, basically without human intervention, the car can drive automatically and reach the destination. Now we are in the urban area Driving, the road conditions are much more complicated than driving on the highway, including changes in traffic lights, temporarily placed piles and barrels, pedestrians crossing the road, bicycles and electric vehicles deliberately running onto the motorway, etc. Faced with such a complex situation, LV3 level automatic The driving ability is somewhat insufficient, and it is possible to encounter an accident at any time and exit the automatic driving state. In this case, in order to deal with various accidents, the driver must pay special attention and be ready to intervene at any time and take over the driving right. preparation."

In the next ten minutes, Qiao Ruida explained the common functions and usage of this customized MINIEV. How to navigate, how to turn on the air conditioner, how to turn on seat ventilation or seat heating, how to turn on assisted driving, how to automatically park, etc. As a standard female driver, Du Qingqing's eyes gleamed when she heard this, and she strongly requested to switch places and drive the car herself.

Qiao Ruida controlled the car, turned off the ring road, found a road with fewer vehicles, pulled over, and then switched places with her girlfriend. Du Qingqing was much shorter than Qiao Ruida. Sitting in the driver's seat, he held the steering wheel in an awkward posture. Qiao Ruida took action and helped her adjust the distance and tilt angle of the steering wheel until it was comfortable. After adjusting the steering wheel, Du Qingqing stepped on the accelerator and drove the car forward carefully, gradually exploring the various functions of the car.

This kind of highly intelligent new energy vehicle is very fast to get started with. For functions that you really don’t understand, you can also use voice consultation with the smart assistant, which is very convenient. Du Qingqing's learning ability is also very good. After only half an hour, he was able to skillfully control the MINIEV and shuttle through the traffic.

The last thing to try is the automatic driving function. After setting the destination and turning on the autonomous driving function, Du Qingqing was extremely nervous and stared at the road ahead, fearing that the car and the machine would not handle it in time and hit other vehicles or pedestrians. But for the next half hour, the driving computer controlled the MINIEV, constantly moving forward on the road, changing lanes to accelerate, overtaking and merging, and occasionally knocking over other vehicles or crossing the road. It could also recognize and brake in time. avoid. With this proficiency in controlling the vehicle, he is simply more experienced than an experienced driver. Seeing this situation, Du Qingqing's tense nerves finally relaxed.

"This automatic driving function is so easy to use. It is very suitable for commuters. It automatically recognizes traffic lights, automatically brakes, automatically starts, and can recognize most traffic signs. The traffic jams that I was most afraid of when going out can now be dealt with. It’s much easier too.”

"Well, this automatic driving system was originally installed on the Roadster sports car. It only uses dozens of sensors. The cost is very expensive, and the performance is naturally the same. That is your specially customized version of MINIEV , so that this automatic driving system can be installed regardless of cost. The production version of MINIEV is only priced at 4 to 7, but it cannot afford to install this system." Qiao Ruida briefly explained the origin of this automatic driving system. The Ruida Roadster is a pure electric drive, high-end sports car to be launched by the Ruida Automobile Factory, with an initial price of more than 200 million. In order to make it worthwhile and worthy of the price, Qiao Ruida has equipped this sports car with many advanced functions and components, and the automatic driving system is just one of them.

As time goes by, the sun gradually sets in the west and is about to set. Du Qingqing was driving back to the new headquarters of Reda Technology. It was already after get off work hours, and there should be no one in the R&D center building. However, there was a yellow MINIEV parked in the square in front of the building, waiting for Qiao Ruida to drive home, so she had to make this extra trip.

At this time, it was the rush hour after get off work, and the vehicles on the road were very dense. The number of vehicles in front of some intersections had exceeded 12 meters. Under such road conditions, no matter how useful the MINIEV's autonomous driving function is, it can only follow the traffic flow and move forward bit by bit. In , car shapes and colors are still quite conservative. Most of the cars on the road are regular hatchbacks and sedans. Occasionally there are one or two tall SUVs, off-road vehicles, etc., which can make people look at them. Bright. The paint colors of cars are mainly traditional black, white, and gray, with very few bright reds and blues. Now in the traffic flow, a MINIEV with a short body, cute shape, pink paint, and cartoon livery suddenly appeared. It was just like a little red in the green bush, not to mention how eye-catching it was.

"Mom, look at that little car in front of you. It's so cute. I wish I had a car like this!" In the back seat of a BMW, a little girl with twin tails pointed at the car outside the window. MINIEV shouted loudly.

"Jiaojiao, the car is still running. Stay calm and don't jump up and down. Hey, this car is really nice-looking, but I don't know what brand and model it is." (End of Chapter)
