Black Technology: Start with Ten Thousand Times Speed

In Su Xin's vision, the development of intelligent driving programs has a total of two parts.

The first part is the ability to analyze and summarize data, and construct the data detected by cameras and radars as comprehensively and perfectly as possible into a 3D picture that is as close to reality as possible.

This is also the part that Su Xin needs to complete.

At the same time, it is also the part that most tests the technical strength of the intelligent driving program.

The remaining second step is to make different decisions based on the pictures compiled by the program.

This step focuses on learning from experience.

Whether it is the driving experience of an experienced driver or the familiarity with traffic rules, the most important thing is to collect data, not technology.

…

While Su Xin was developing the intelligent driving program, Tianqi Energy's acquisition progress continued to advance, and one factory after another was added to its name.

Equipment purchased in advance, and a large number of engineers recruited and trained in advance, were immediately dispatched to newly acquired factories to start training and guide the transformation of production lines.

At the same time, companies in the supply chain are also undergoing transformation in full swing.

Just two months later.

Twenty-five battery factories under the name of Tianqi Energy have successively begun mass production of Thor batteries.

During this period, various car companies have successively released concept models equipped with Thor batteries, which has gradually stabilized the stock prices of car companies and kept the popularity of Thor batteries at its peak.

The concept of new energy vehicles has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people under the erosion of various news.

…

at the same time.

A section of closed road was littered with various strange-shaped objects, including moving dummies and fake cars, as well as stationary stones, plastic bags and other items.

A car at the end of the road.

Su Xin and Goyadi President Wang Chuanfu were sitting in the driver's and co-pilot seats respectively, with two senior engineers from Goyadi sitting behind them.

Are you all ready?

Su Xin looked at Wang Chuanfu and the other two people.

Ready. the three replied.

Su Xin returned his gaze to the front and said calmly: Xiao Zhi, drive to the end and then turn around and come back.

Okay, Master, please sit tight!

A mechanized voice came from the car's ten speakers at the same time.

The car also started smoothly.

Wang Chuanfu was surprised and said, Is this okay?

Generally speaking, even with smart driving, a clear destination must be set first before the smart driving program can control the car to go there.

In Su Xin's instruction just now, he did not mention any destination at all, but just asked Xiaozhi to drive to the end.

But where is the end?

The end of the road in the usual sense means that there is no road ahead, or a large obstacle is encountered, causing the vehicle to stop moving forward.

This is easy for ordinary people to judge.

But for an intelligent program, it requires strong environmental analysis and judgment capabilities.

The mere ability to do this is enough to illustrate the excellence of this intelligent driving program.

Su Xin smiled and said: Don't Mr. Wang know that my strength is artificial intelligence? This level of analytical ability is normal.

Wang Chuanfu also laughed.

When he was about to say something, he saw that the car was not far from the first obstacle, so he quickly focused his attention to see how the car would respond.

in front of the car.

Three stones of different sizes are scattered on the road.

The first stone is located on the side of the road. According to the vehicle's central driving trajectory, it will almost be pressed by the right tire.

The second stone further away is about the size of a fist and is located in the middle of the road.

The third stone, which is about the size of a football, is farther away and is also on the side of the road.

Under the unblinking gazes of Wang Chuanfu and the others, the vehicle automatically turned slightly to the left and smoothly moved the vehicle from the center position to the left side.

Vehicles drive past the first stone.

Step over the second stone.

Su Xin explained in a timely manner: In Xiaozhi's logic, the second stone is lower than the shortest position on the site and can be passed safely, so if it is not suitable for avoidance, it will drive directly from above. past.

Wang Chuanfu nodded approvingly:

This logic is simple to implement, but the most important thing is accurate analysis of environmental data. If the size of the rocks cannot be accurately judged, the car will not be able to control so smoothly.

Yes, when it's time to drive over, you must drive over decisively instead of hesitating to slow down or even stop. From this point alone, it is much better than most intelligent driving programs currently on the market.

The senior engineer behind also said.

Su Xin pointed forward and said with a smile: Speaking of the accuracy of analyzing data, the following obstacle may surprise you more. Take a look.

The three of them looked in the direction of his fingers.

I saw a staff member standing on the roadside in front of me, throwing something in his hand forward, and it landed right in the middle of the road.

In the strong wind, this white object kept swaying in the wind.

In the opposite lane, a fake car was slowly driving towards this side.

Obviously, their car had no room for emergency evacuation, and they could not borrow from the side.

That's...a plastic bag?

Wang Chuanfu said doubtfully.

Yes, that's a plastic bag with a stone in it. Su Xin smiled.

As soon as he finished speaking, the car the four people were riding in slowed down slightly, and then whizzed directly over the plastic bag.

In the back row, one of the engineers couldn't help but exclaimed: Fuck! That's awesome!

Wang Chuanfu didn't realize the difficulty for a while, and asked curiously: Is this very different from just now?

Before Su Xin could speak, the engineer said slightly excitedly:

Because the surface size of the obstacle is inconsistent with its real size!

Mr. Wang, think about it, when a car's camera or radar detects a plastic bag, is it an obstacle the size of a basketball?

In the intelligent driving program of ordinary vehicles, if you encounter such a sudden and strange obstacle, and there are also cars in the opposite lane, the only option is to brake urgently.

However, through naked eye observation, we can tell at a glance that this is just a plastic bag, and from the shape of the plastic bag swaying in the wind, we can see that the rocks inside are only as big as a fist.

So, in this case, the best option is to drive directly over.

But in actual situations, if it is a human driver, people will not react so quickly, and their instinct under normal circumstances is to brake urgently.

Not to mention intelligent driving, this situation must also be a sudden stop.

However, the first reaction of Mr. Su's intelligent driving program is to instinctively slow down. The second reaction is to instantly analyze the size of the real obstacle inside the plastic bag based on the shape of the plastic bag swinging in the wind, and judge that it can be passed directly.

Then we will drive directly over.

This kind of environmental analysis ability is so fast! It's also so accurate!

Mr. Wang, the biggest difficulty in intelligent driving is actually not avoiding obstacles, but dealing with emergency situations.

Therefore, the analysis of environmental data must be accurate, rapid, and decisive.

Whether it's reckless driving regardless of danger, or overly conservative stop-and-go behavior, it's actually a sign of immaturity. Just like a human driver, no one would think that he is a good driver if he stops when he encounters any situation. .

Go fast when you need to go fast, go slow when you need to go slow, go when you need to go, stop when you need to, and don't drag your feet. This is a truly mature and good driver.

Xiao Zhi's current performance on these two points is perfect, even better than humans!

Although Wang Chuanfu is not a professional in this area, he is at least a high-level person in the industry. After hearing this explanation, he also understood the powerful intelligence Xiaozhi showed at that moment.

Su Xin smiled and nodded:

Wang Gong is right. If the plastic bag does not appear in an emergency, Xiaozhi will take the initiative to avoid it in advance and his movements will be as smooth as possible. But if it appears suddenly and there is no room to avoid, Xiaozhi will slow down and drive past it like just now.

This is the driving experience collected from many experienced drivers who have never had any accidents.
