"Have we succeeded in R&D?" Hou Yuquan said to himself.

"I think the development was a success, right?" said one researcher, "and there hasn't been a single problem with the tests." ”

"That's right, but who can certify us?" Under normal circumstances, the research team should be very happy that a L5 level unmanned system has been developed.

But they ran into a problem: who can prove that the driverless system they are working on is a fully autonomous driving technology at the L5 level?

There has never been an autonomous system of this level in the industry, so there is no defining standard. Even the country's transportation department has never issued a L5 driverless license.

Meng Xiaobai said: "SAE/International (Society of Automotive Engineers) believes that with Level 5 fully autonomous driving technology, the car should be able to choose the most suitable driving plan and adopt the most rapid operation to respond to the situation of intense driving (extreme conditions), so as to minimize the risk to passengers. ”

"There are two directions to this criterion, one is tactical, which is the driving plan to deal with the fierce driving choices, such as answering events, lane change judgments, turning and the use of turn signals, etc., and the other is operation, such as steering, acceleration and deceleration, monitoring the environment, etc. ”

"We've tested all of these things. Therefore, our autonomous driving system is L5 level of fully autonomous driving technology!"

"I think so too. Because we have done the best job of unmanned driving!" Hou Yuquan nodded, "Whether it is a closed road test or a test road dedicated to the city, our cars have not had a single problem." ”

The car they tested was the Bluestar new energy vehicle, which was made using a new automotive solid-state battery from deep space energy and a car motor designed by Meng Xiaobai.

This car is only an experimental version and has not yet been released.

"It's okay for us to think so, the key is that the transportation department can approve it. Guan Yang frowned and said, "Perhaps the most difficult thing is this place." ”

He was right, when Bluestar Automobile applied for the L5 driverless commercial vehicle license of the transportation department, the transportation department was also a little difficult.

"We've never received such a request for review!" within the department, they're also discussing.

"Yes, now only a few first-tier cities have opened L3 commercial licenses on a trial basis. Is it too fast for Bluestar to apply for L5 directly?" someone asked.

"The problem can't be seen that way. A senior executive said, "Now other countries, including Germany and the United States, which have the most developed driverless technology, have only issued part of the L4 driverless licenses, and Bluestar Automobile can develop this higher-level technology, and we should support and encourage." ”

"But how do we know they're at L5?"

"Yes. The issuance of commercial licenses for fully autonomous driving must be done with great caution, because if there are technical defects, it may cause large-scale traffic accidents!

"A plan should be discussed. ”

……

While the transportation department was discussing the matter, Bluestar also sent an invitation to the International Automobile Manufacturers Association (OICA) to certify Bluestar's L5 fully autonomous driving technology.

The International Association of Automobile Manufacturers, founded in 1919 in Paris, France, covers five continents, including the world's major automobile manufacturing countries, covering the world's automobile industry, and Huaxia is also a member of the association.

OICA, Paris, France, the Secretariat received an invitation from Huaxia Bluestar Automobile. The content is to invite them to certify Bluestar Automobile's fully autonomous driving technology.

This matter immediately aroused the great concern of the Secretariat.

Secretary General Freeman, a German national, is the vice president of the German Association of the Automotive Industry and handles all the affairs of the secretariat. Above him is the current president of OICA, David McCudi of the Association of Automobile Manufacturers.

"Huaxia's Bluestar Automobile has developed L5 full autonomous driving technology?" Freeman looked at the report with a serious expression: "This is a very rigorous thing, we have not issued strict technical certification regulations, they should not say that!"

"That's why they want us to certify!" said the clerk of the secretariat.

"We can't make a decision on this matter right away, we have to inform the president and key members. Freeman knows that this is no small thing.

If Bluestar Automobile really develops this technology, it will mean that in the field of unmanned driving, Huaxia car companies are ahead of the world. The automobile industry has always been the leading country in Germany, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Japan and other countries, although the automobile industry in China is also large, but independent technology is scarce.

This time, the research results of Bluestar Automobile are likely to break their technological monopoly.

Soon, the current president and key members of OICA knew about it.

David McCudi immediately convened a video conference with members from the automotive industry associations in various countries.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about Huaxia Bluestar Motors asking us to certify their L5 fully autonomous driving technology?" asked Mycudi.

"I think they should start with L3 certification. Kengo Takahashi, a representative of the automobile industry association of the island country, said, "Bluestar Automobile has never obtained L3 and L4 technical certification before, and it is directly about to apply for L5, which is clearly hype." Using the fame of our association to hype their company, we should not accede to their demands!"

Kengo Takahashi is also a senior vice president of Toyota Motor in the island country, and Toyota Motor is also the industry of the Mitsui consortium! Deep space technology has aroused the dissatisfaction of the island nation consortium, and as long as it is not conducive to deep space technology, it is something they are happy to see.

"I don't think it's appropriate. "If we don't go, it will make our association less credible." If they want to certify, let them pay the corresponding fee, and we send a member of the technical committee to certify. ”

"From the point of view of the development of automotive technology, we should confirm it. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen. "According to the information we have received, Bluestar Automobile has also submitted an application for technical certification to the Huaxia Automobile Industry Association and the Huaxia Transportation Department. If their certification passes, it will affect the pattern of the automotive market in Huaxia. ”

"So I think we should go for it. ”

Everyone thought for a moment and agreed. Yes, if they don't go, Huaxia has been certified, wouldn't that make Bluestar Auto get its wish?

If Bluestar Auto's L5 fully autonomous vehicle is launched, it will affect the interests of every member present and the interest groups behind them.

"Agreed. ”

"I agree. ”

"Agree to the certification. ”

Everyone approved the application for decertification, but President David McCudi, Secretary General Freeman, and others held a small meeting after the meeting. The content of the discussion is unknown to others.
