Monster Factory

Chapter 690: Controversy over new functions.

There is not the atmosphere of a modern city here. Fortunately, Ye Qing leaves. The weapons were distributed in batches to the monsters that remained in the mini-factory and the Mercedes-Benz G 65 was sent back to China, and only after sitting in the Peregrine Falcon again did Ye Qing finally understand what modern life means.

There are warm beds, comfortable and clean toilets, unlimited food, television, and Internet, that's modern life. Sitting in his exclusive seat, Ye Qing was finally able to connect his cell phone to the Peregrine Falcon's high-speed wireless network via the satellite network.

Although there is also a satellite network in the car, this is a special network directly connected to the car's operating system. The satellite phone is a very ordinary old-fashioned phone and WeChat cannot be installed.

After two days without the internet, Ye Qing can finally let go of a life where she has nothing to do with cell phones.

The moment the phone was connected to the Internet, Ye Qing found that it suddenly entered frenzy mode, and various app notification messages, emails, WeChat, Weibo, etc. rang non-stop.

Unnecessary news was deleted first; Ye Qing turned on the seat massage mode, and first comfortably watched the Shi Lei car news.

Tianjin announced in the morning that the Shi Lei car's system program has been updated. This upgrade represented another science and technology innovation and breakthrough from Huge Industrial Monster. But to be honest, Ye Qing wasn't sure if this breakthrough could make a world-famous joke or news.

Off-car payment is acceptable, which is a relatively uncontroversial technology.

For remote driving, even though it was done by Google, Ye Qing's first reaction was that Google's brain was shaking. So, now that the Huge Industrial Monster is engaged, others will understandably have similar doubts, and the controversy is huge.

Remote driving and assisted or autonomous driving of the car are two concepts.

Assisted driving and autonomous driving, Drive only at high altitudes. In urban areas, it will only cause serious traffic jams, because it lacks the complex calculation and intelligent appreciation of the vehicle's environment.

Remote driving is different.

About Ye Qing's idea, it can completely support the operation of the whole vehicle, allowing the driver or passenger to arrive at their destination safely in any state.

At first, it will take over the user's car remotely by a driver specially hired by the Huge Industrial Monster, which is equivalent to a remote driver. The technical team led by Tianjin will process the data collected during driving, and when the database is perfected, the real era of remote driving will come.

The driver is the server.

It seems ridiculous and unreliable. However, this plan has been carefully considered by the technical team, and at least it is technically feasible.

However, Ye Qing searched for news and found there seem to be a lot of controversies about this function on the Internet, and most of them are on the opposite side of the Huge Industrial Monster.

[Remote driving, the Huge Industrial Monster opens the era of smart car 2.0?]

When refreshing the webpage, Ye Qing appeared on the Baidu page news feed, and suddenly a new article was posted.

The article is taken from the famous China Guoke Technology Network, which is an authoritative technology website. Even the editors and the audience inside have a higher professional level than on other websites.

In this news, Xiao Zhou, a well-known editor, said: Cars are our most important means of transportation, and the number of cars is also an important indicator to measure the economic level of people's livelihood in a country. Since the beginning of 2010, the Chinese automobile industry has been growing more and more rapidly. Today, almost all low-end models are monopolized by domestic manufacturers. Domestic manufacturers love curved cars and focus on cost-effectiveness, allowing users to buy cars with the most comprehensive functions with the least amount of money.

Anyone who has driven a car knows there is a huge gap in driving experience between a car with only basic functions and a car with various assisted driving functions. Take my example. I drive a Volvo 90 Zhizun Edition. This car has a lot of functions, so many that I feel it's kind of fun when I drive.

Now, if I switch to manual transmission again, I can guarantee I can't even start well, let alone run down the road.

But just last week, my friend bought a Shi Lei and I had the pleasure of experimenting with it. I must say the Shi Lei car has renewed all my knowledge about cars, and driving Shi Lei can no longer be described as a pleasure.

It's addictive. According to my friend, he wants to drive this car like he's going to buy a pack of cigarettes.

I am happy China has a company like the Huge Industrial Monster, which has breathed new life into our domestic auto industry. Just yesterday, Huge Industrial Monster updated the program system of the Shi Lei car. In addition to launching a very exciting out-of-car payment function, it also solemnly introduced a remote driving history function for users.

To be honest, I was surprised by the introduction of this feature.

The first is its price; it must first be registered as a member user. Then charge by mileage, 0.5 Yuan per kilometer in the urban area, and free. I admit the price is much cheaper than a taxi. But my colleagues and I had a heated discussion for a long time, and I was unsure, what is this function for?

Drivers drive it to drink, and then sit in the co-driver to activate the remote drive feature?

I think traffic police comrades will feel their IQ has been insulted. Even if it can pass DOT approval is a serious matter.

Besides the unrealistic drunk driving, who else would use it?

In the end, a colleague who does not know how to drive revealed the main purpose of this function. It's for people who can't drive. Imagine if this functionality could actually be implemented. Then our parents, who can't drive, our wives and children who can't drive, can't drag you around to be a driver when we go to a certain place. Sit in the car and let the remote control take them where they want.

I admit this feature is really old. But technically, we agree this is not currently possible.

For remote driving, according to the Huge Industrial Monster, professional drivers will be hired at the beginning and advanced computers with learning capability will collect driving data. When the conditions are met, the pilot becomes a supercomputer.

But we can't put the calculation in the car; we can only rely on the 4G wireless signal to link the vehicle and the remote driving center.

How to solve network lag here?

Vehicle road condition information should be transmitted through video collection. The faster the car, the higher the risk due to delay, and we must pray that the 4G network will not be abandoned. But even so, when vehicles pass through tunnels and overpasses, the signal is likely to be temporarily interrupted. I checked the information, and by now, various cities have nearly reached signal coverage of underground car parks. However, many small tunnels are unequipped with signal relay equipment due to cost.

Also, if there is a car accident during remote driving, who is responsible?

At the end of the article, Xiao Zhou's editor added: I'm here to sincerely make some suggestions to the Huge Industrial Monster. Shi Lei is enough to shine. The remote driving function is a technological monument in the automotive field. I'm really looking forward to this feature and am very excited.

But right now, my colleagues and I agree that current technology is not up to the job of enabling remote driving.
