"Mr. Meng, after the invitation was issued, seven F1 teams have accepted our invitation, and a total of nine professional F1 drivers have been sent to participate in the challenge. Four of them have won F1 world championships, including the new world-class driver Miston!", said assistant Deng Yun in the office.

"Let the propaganda department make some efforts in this matter, and the world must know about it when the time comes!" Meng Xiaobai advised.

"Well, now we've started to put out the press releases. After Deng Yun finished speaking, he asked curiously, "Mr. Meng, can our driverless cars really outperform professional racing drivers?"

For every professional racer who is invited, the appearance fee is very high. And all the costs of this event are borne by Bluestar Automobile, if it is messed up, I am afraid that it will become the laughing stock of the world!

"Of course there is no problem, even if it is the king of the world, he will lose in front of our unmanned driving technology!" Meng Xiaobai said confidently.

......

Bluestar Automobile Super Factory, the super factory has been preliminarily completed, and the government department has also passed the acceptance.

In the super factory, Meng Xiaobai is mobilizing a group of professional automotive designers and mechanical engineers to cooperate with him to build a Blue Star super new energy racing car.

If you want to race a professional F1 team with a civilian version of the Bluestar car, it will definitely not work. The limitations of the car's performance hindered the play of the unmanned driving system, so Meng Xiaobai wanted to build a Blue Star super car during this time.

From the exterior of the body to the structure of the motor, it was all designed by Meng Xiaobai, assisted by the designers, and Jin Mu was responsible for reviewing and proposing modifications.

It has been more than a month since the manufacture of this super race car began when Bluestar Motor intended to submit the certification of L5 fully autonomous driving technology, and all parts have basically been manufactured, just waiting for it to be unveiled in front of the public.

......

At the Modu International Circuit, professional teams and racers invited by Deep Space Technology arrived a week in advance to make track adjustments and train.

Behind these professional teams are internationally renowned car manufacturers.

For example, Mercedes-Benz, McLaren, Ferrari, Renault, etc., they sponsored these teams to form the World Formula One Championship (F1 for short), which is known as one of the three major sports events in the world along with the Olympic Games and the World Cup!

Every car in the competition is the pinnacle of the automobile manufacturing industry costing hundreds of millions of euros! and the top professional drivers in the world are the best in Formula 1.

And now, these professional drivers have been invited by Deep Space Technology to drive a pinnacle-level racing car to compete against Blue Star's driverless racing car!

When the news conference was released, the world's attention to cars and racing cars converged on the International Circuit of the Magic City, which is not only the challenge of artificial intelligence technology to car driving, but also the debut of Blue Star Automobile under Deep Space Technology.

So, before the official start of the race, the media had already blocked the circuit and the hotel where the professional drivers were staying.

In the racing track, a tense training race has just been completed.

British F1 driver Miston took off his helmet and looked at the track with a relaxed expression. Just now, he drove the car for dozens of laps, and his performance was very stable, and even broke a small record.

Miston, who now plays for Mercedes-Benz, is not only last year's F1 World Champion, but also has won six world championships and is known as the new generation of world champions!

"Miston, you're in great shape!" said another professional race car driver, Roburg, behind him.

Loburg, who is also a Mercedes-Benz driver and has also won the World Championship, was one of the drivers invited this time.

"Not bad. Miston smiled slightly, "It's fun to play this kind of relaxing car outside of the race." What's more, there are still people who are willing to pay. ”

The appearance fee of these people is not less than that of any international superstar, and in this competition, Bluestar Automobile has made a bloody investment.

"Don't underestimate them too much. The boss said that their driverless technology should not be underestimated. Roberg emphasized.

"Rest assured, I never underestimate any opponent, even if it's an artificial intelligence!" As a six-time world champion professional, Miston is never arrogant, and he gives his all in every race.

"What an AI, what a driver! I'll prove that on the track, humans are better than AI!" Miston put back on his helmet and began his next training session.

......

At the entrance of an international hotel, reporters who had been crouching for a long time finally caught a well-known racing driver, Austrian racing driver Witt from Red Bull Racing. Witt is second only to Miston on the invitational list, having won the Formula One World Championship four times in a row!

As soon as Witt appeared, he was surrounded by reporters, both Chinese and foreign.

"Mr. Witt, do you think driverless cars can beat the pros?" someone asked.

Witt seemed to be in a good mood and did not reject interviews. "I think a driverless car is better suited to driving on an unmanned road in the countryside, and on the track, it can't even eat my car exhaust," he said.

An interview with Wittur was immediately published in the media, "Champion Driver Wittur: Driverless Fails!"

Not only the media in China, but also the media in the United States, Europe, island countries and other countries have reported, regardless of victory or defeat, at least the challenge of unmanned driving challenge professional drivers held by Bluestar Automobile has gained worldwide attention.

In the spinach company in Europe, there is already a prediction for this race, in which the guess Miston will win occupies 40%, the one who thinks Witt can win occupies 20%, the one who thinks Roburg can win occupies 10%, and the other drivers add up to a little more than 20%, and the one who thinks that the Blue Star driverless car can win, is actually less than 10%!

And according to the survey, the reason why these people bet is because they see the high odds of unmanned driving, and they choose with the mentality of gambling.

In fact, less than five percent of people think Bluestar driverless cars can beat professional racers!

......

"The assembly is complete!" "Bluestar Automobile Super Factory, a new Bluestar new energy super car came out!

The azure body paint is the color of the earth itself, the streamlined outer contour minimizes air resistance, and the overall structure is also aerodynamically designed, and every component is professionally manufactured.

Especially the engine system, the F1 cars are all specially built engines, with strong performance and plenty of horsepower. And the Bluestar new energy super car uses a motor!

That's right, the lack of power of the motor is a common problem in the world's automotive motors, and secondly, the battery life and energy output are also a technical barrier. In the face of Bluestar New Energy Super Racing, these problems are no longer a problem.

"Bluestar 1-22 super motor, equipped with deep space technology automotive lithium-air battery, has reached the peak level of fuel engine in terms of horsepower and endurance!" Guan Yang said proudly, "I can't imagine that one day, we can also build our own racing car, and it is also a motor engine!"

"I feel like we should give it a name. "Anyway, this is the first super car we've ever built. ”

Everyone looked at Meng Xiaobai, he was the main designer of this car, and he should have chosen the name.

"Name? hmm...... Meng Xiaobai touched his chin and thought: "This is a racing car, characterized by speed, plus our Blue Star brand, it might as well be called Extreme Blue Lightning." ”

"Blue Star—Extreme Blue Lightning!, that's a good name!" Xie Lingbo nodded, "It's like a blue lightning bolt, vivid." ”

"So, the on-board intelligent system for it is called lightning. Meng Xiaobai said, waking up its on-board intelligent system.

The on-board intelligent system of Bluestar Automobile is completed on the basis of the intelligent voice assistant of Deep Space Technology, and the functions related to unmanned driving and detection of automobiles are added.

Because of the existence of automotive-grade intelligent chips, this car can perform driving operations as usual even if there is no network. Not only the security of the hardware, but also the software, the on-board intelligent system uses a special network security protection system to protect against hackers from remote intrusion and control of the on-board intelligent system.

"Lightning, drive to the test site. Meng Xiaobai gave an order.

"Yes, expected to arrive in five minutes. "The Extreme Blue Lightning started automatically, and it passed through the established channel all the way to the test road outside the factory.

"Are you all set?

The tests for Extreme Blue Lightning worked fine, with only a few minor issues, which were quickly fixed.

In fact, in the simulation calculation of Maruko, this extreme blue lightning has been detected tens of billions of times, and there will be no problems.

......

The 15th arrived as scheduled, and on this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the sky was cloudless.

A large number of media and spectators came to the Modu International Circuit, and car enthusiasts, racing enthusiasts and AI technology practitioners from all over the world are paying attention to this showdown.

On the Internet, the people who eat melons have also been torn apart for several days, and some people think that Bluestar Motors is too hype, and OICA has vetoed their L5 full autonomous driving technology certification, but they still don't admit it.

Others support deep space technology and Bluestar cars, arguing that driverless technology will eventually surpass human driving. Now they only have to wait for the results of the game to be revealed, and they will know whether the two sides are right or wrong.

The official race starts at 14:00 and the drivers practice at the course in the morning.

Bluestar Automobile, on the other hand, is holding a press conference.

One is to publicize this grand event of unmanned racing against professional racing drivers, and the other is to announce some of the scientific and technological achievements that Bluestar Motors has made.

In front of the media, spokesman Hou Yuquan said: "We have confirmed that we have L5 fully autonomous driving technology. In addition, Bluestar Automobile also has a high-performance automotive motor and a lithium air battery developed by Deep Space New Energy, which is much stronger than the existing automotive battery in terms of energy density, power output and safety guarantee, and its comprehensive performance is not inferior to that of high-end fuel vehicles!"

"And today's event is our specially made Blue Star New Energy Super Racing Car, Extreme Blue Lightning!"

"Dr. Hou, can you tell us more about the Extreme Blue Lightning?" the reporter asked.

"The Extreme Blue Lightning car will be officially unveiled before the start of the race, and we will also announce its details after the race. ”
