Chapter 290: Testing Begins

Bluestar Automobile's application for full autonomous driving technology certification has also been broadcast by the media. If it is just a newly established car company, it may not get so much attention from the public, but Bluestar Automobile is a company under the Deep Space Technology Group, which makes the public pay a lot more attention to it.

In particular, the automotive media put this news on the headlines: "Bluestar Automobile, a subsidiary of Deep Space Technology, claims to have developed L5 full autonomous driving technology, and the field of unmanned driving may usher in new changes!"

Fang Yida: "When did Deep Space Technology develop automotive technology? Aren't they making mobile phones?"

The person you follow: "Deep Space Technology is obviously selling pork, you fake fan!"

User 174~45: "Don't need a steering wheel or driver, what if you encounter danger?"

"I used to like to drive when I didn't have a car, but now that I have a car, I feel really tired of driving." Hopefully this technology can be promoted!"

Serious man: "L5, I remember that the highest is L4 now, right?

The most fascinating and the most dangerous: "I just want to know what kind of configuration this car is, is it as high as a Martian smartphone?"

......

On the Bihu APP, "What do you think of Bluestar Automobile's application for certification of L5 full autonomous driving, is this technology really safe?"

Zhong Liang, an expert certified in the field of automotive technology automation, answered this question: "Thank you, I have been engaged in the research of unmanned driving technology for eight years, and I am currently working in the Qiandu Unmanned Driving Research Institute, and I believe that my cognition is relatively professional in this regard." ”

"I also have concerns about the subject's mention of Bluestar Automobile's L5 full autonomous driving technology. At present, there is very little information revealed, but through some information (data links), we can find that Bluestar Automobile has been established for less than a year. ”

"And they tested unmanned technology as early as three months ago. Their research team, which I have also been in contact with before, is the team of Professor Hou Yuquan of Modu Jiaotong University. Their team has some research on autonomous driving technology, but at most it has only reached the Level 2 level of autonomous driving. ”

In the past three months, Bluestar has not obtained the L4 test license and commercial license, and they directly applied for L5, which is unprecedented certification in the world. ”

"I think it's unlikely! This news, nine times out of ten, is hype! Let's think about it, Bluestar Automobile is about to start production, and at this time, the news of L5 full automatic driving certification will be released, and I don't need to say more, right?"

"Also, a few more words about driverless technology. At present, the world's most powerful in this field is General Motors of the United States, and they can only achieve the L4 level at present. In China, our Qiandu unmanned driving technology can be said to be unbeatable!"

"We have the largest number of autonomous driving road test licenses and more than 1,000 intelligent driving patents in China, with a test mileage of more than 3 million kilometers, more than 23 cities, more than 36,000 developers and 177 partners worldwide. Our Apollo Autonomous Driving Intelligence Platform is also the world's first and most comprehensive and intelligent commercial autonomous driving solution platform. ”

"After doing so much, we have only obtained the L4 license, and the data and research time of Bluestar Automobile are far inferior to ours in all aspects. To sum up, the L5 certification of Bluestar Automobile is most likely a marketing method. If you don't believe it, wait for the OICA (International Automobile Manufacturers Association) certification to know. ”

This answer was quickly put at the top of the heat, and there were many people who agreed with it. Including other answers, most of them are also like this.

Beijing, Qiandu Group Building, President's Office.

Ye Hongyan, president of Qiandu Group, is looking at the company's evaluation report on Bluestar Automobile's application for certification of L5 fully autonomous driving technology, and for them, this competitor should not be underestimated.

Qiandu Group used to be one of the domestic Internet troikas, along with Arry and Penguin Group. After entering the era of mobile Internet, Qiandu Group's investment has failed repeatedly, and it is no longer one of the three giants it once was.

In the end, Qiandu Group chose to press treasure artificial intelligence and unmanned driving technology. Fortunately, this time they did not bet wrong, at present, in China, Qiandu Group's unmanned driving technology ranks first, this first is limited to Bluestar Automobile did not release the application for certification L5 technology.

"Mr. Ye. In front of Ye Hongyan was Dr. Zhong Liang of the unmanned driving technology research team of Qiandu Group, who said: "As I wrote on the Internet, it is impossible for Bluestar Motors to complete the development and testing of L5 fully autonomous driving technology in just three months. ”

"Our L4 technology has also been recognized by the transportation department after several years of research and development and road testing. So we don't have to worry too much about letting them disrupt our own rhythm. ”

"Behind the Bluestar car is deep space technology. It's not okay if you're not careful!" Ye Hongyan said in a deep voice.

He thought about it for a moment or two, and sent an order to go out. Soon, almost all the news about Bluestar was deleted on Qiandu's search platform and media platform.

Moreover, there are some self-media, which reprint Zhong Liang's comments on the L5 fully automated technology of Bluestar Automobile, and unanimously believe that this is a hype and marketing means.

However, in the field of Internet information, Qiandu is no longer the only one, and the impact of this on Lanxing Automobile is not great.

Ye Hongyan knows that in the end, it depends on the certification results of OICA.

......

The representative of the International Automobile Manufacturers Association, Secretary General Freeman, and the technical committee member of the technical committee of the association, Kengo Takahashi, came to Huaxia to prepare for the certification and appraisal of Bluestar Automobile's technology.

Upon learning of this news, representatives from the Huaxia Transportation Department and the Automobile Industry Association also participated. They also want to know if Bluestar has mastered this technology.

The first is to carry out some software and hardware testing, and in this regard, Bluestar has no problems. All the requirements for driverless cars are fully met, followed by road measurements.

"Mr. Freeman, representative Kengo Takahashi, in order to better demonstrate our fully autonomous driving technology. On this road test, we simulated a variety of extreme driving situations to test our unmanned driving system, and you can check all the links. Hou Yuquan said.

"We'll check it carefully!" Kengo Takahashi said solemnly, as a representative of the technical committee, not only did he inspect carefully, but it was simply to a harsh level!

Kengo Takahashi remembered what the high-level officials of the island country had warned him, "It took a lot of effort to let you be the representative this time. You have to check out their problems and not get them to pass the certification!"

"There's no way you'll be certified!" Kengo Takahashi said to himself, and he instructed the technicians, "All links, all details must be checked!

The technician did as instructed, but did not find any major problems.

Kengo Takahashi's face was a little unpleasant, and Meng Xiaobai said, "You can start." ”

"Well, that's fine. Freeman nodded.

On the side, Chen Dong, a representative of the transportation department, and Yin Guokang, a representative of the Huaxia Automobile Industry Association, also started their own work, and they had to supervise and inspect the situation throughout the process, and make assessments and records.

The test began, and an unmanned Bluestar new energy vehicle drove into the test road.

On this test car, not only did there be no driver, not even a steering wheel. On the test road, there are various roadblocks, pedestrian models, pet models, car models, ice and snow roads, potholes, and so on.

In the driving of the car, these unexpected situations will occur, and in the final stage, even the car will be deliberately let have a puncture and other failures, in order to test its unmanned driving safety.

The test began, and the Bluestar driverless car began to drive on the test road, with drones following and monitoring the whole process.

In the surveillance screen, the car is driving very steadily and in accordance with traffic rules. When encountering simulated vehicles or obstacles, the car can also detect and bypass them in time.

For this part of the journey, everyone was calm. Because they believe that the technology of Bluestar cars is still there, and the most important thing is the fierce driving and emergency handling in the back.

On the road, people and cars that had been arranged for a long time rushed out from various unexpected angles and crashed into the self-driving car.

Sensors and monitoring devices can be used to detect in advance and brake and slow down to avoid.

Including cars, battery cars, bicycles, people or pets that simulated collisions, the automatic driving system was tested again and again, and the automatic driving system was operated correctly without any accidents.

Seeing this, Chen Dong and Yin Guokang both nodded slightly, for now, the intelligence level of this automatic driving can fully reach the L4 level.

Freeman and Kengo Takahashi looked at the surveillance footage and said nothing.

Soon, it was time for the hazard test. In all kinds of harsh road conditions, Bluestar cars can drive safely, even better than people.

It's time for the final stage, and this time, the set up chances will blow one of the car's tires and make the car unbalanced at high speeds, and see how the intelligent system will deal with it.

Everyone cheered up and stared intently at the surveillance screen.

In fact, there is no such link in the test, but Bluestar Auto itself took the initiative to ask for a display.

In the picture, the Bluestar car began to accelerate, and soon reached a speed of 120km/h.

At that moment, the mechanism triggered, and a steel projectile pierced the left front wheel of the car, and the car lost its balance.

Everyone couldn't help but get nervous, especially Chen Dong, a representative of the transportation department, who had seen too many car accidents. Generally, in this case, even an old driver with more than ten years of driving experience is difficult to deal with, and in the end, it is inevitable that the car will overturn and be in distress.

The inertia of the car is trending the car to roll over, but the autonomous driving system immediately detects the abnormal state of the car and starts to activate the emergency adjustment mode.
