Chapter 288 Unmanned Driving System

Mars smart VR glasses were sold in the island country as scheduled, and as in the case in China, they were sold out as soon as they were released.

It was only then that the island's electronics and game operators realized that their months of efforts to discredit deep space technology had failed.

For users, the product is good, and practicality is the first.

Because the number of Mars Intelligent Technology Company is limited in the island country, so here, the products of Mars Intelligent Technology have become a high-quality representative, and young people in the island country have shown off their related products on the Internet.

On the other hand, the most popular Apple smartphones, Soni PS5, Nintendo SWTICH, etc., have become a thing of the past.

There are even island country media claiming: "The era of console games of Suo Ni and Nintendo has passed, and the future will be the era of VR games!"

Of course, it is telling the truth, and Meng Xiaobai thinks so too.

"Both Suo Ni and Nintendo are promoting investment in the VR field?" Meng Xiaobai was not surprised when he saw the news. These big companies are definitely not willing to fall into this situation, and they still want to give it a try. It's a pity that their opponent is deep space technology, and this wish is only afraid that it will be frustrated.

"Not only them, but also large domestic and foreign electronic product groups and game developers are touting that they will invest in and develop VR equipment and the VR field. Meng Xiaobai's new assistant Deng Yun reported.

Deng Yun is an outstanding graduate recruited through the school, she used to be a famous talented woman in economics and finance at Qinghua University, and her parents are also elites in the financial field. When she was about to graduate, she chose the school recruitment of Deep Space Technology, and defeated a group of competitors to become Meng Xiaobai's assistant.

Deng Yun is twenty-three this year, and his appearance conditions are not bad, plus his family conditions are good and his education is high. She thought she was already the best of her generation, but when she met the founder of Deep Space Technology, she realized that she was still too naΓ―ve.

This Mr. Meng looks a few years older than himself, but he has already made such great achievements in the field of information technology and business, how did he do it?

Meng Xiaobai is no longer very interested in the competition in the VR field, VR games are just a transitional product for him, and his ultimate goal is to develop brain-computer interfaces and virtual worlds.

"What about last month's debriefing?"

"Here. Deng Yun put a thick handful of documents on the desk, and at the same time looked at the president in front of him curiously.

"With so many documents, you can't read them all in a day, right?" Deng Yun thought to herself, "And every subsidiary, every research institute's project has to be seen, and Mr. Meng is not afraid of exhausting himself to death?"

"Mr. Meng, then I'll go to work first?" Deng Yun asked cautiously.

"No, wait another thirty minutes. Meng Xiaobai pointed to the sofa in the office.

"Okay. Deng Yun sat while secretly observing Meng Xiaobai's work.

I saw Meng Xiaobai pick up the document, quickly scan it, and then approve it on it. Because the speed was too fast, Deng Yun even suspected that he didn't even read it, just like when the teacher changed the composition when he was a child, he wrote the word "read".

In less than thirty minutes, Meng Xiaobai had already processed all the documents.

"Send it back. Meng Xiaobai said to her, "Also, next time, all Class A documents will be sent to me electronically, which is too much of a waste of time." In addition, to arrange a ride, I will go to the unmanned system research base of Bluestar Automobile. ”

"Okay. Deng Yun wrote them down one by one, and when she arrived at her office and was about to distribute the documents, she realized that she still had a misunderstanding of Mr. Meng.

Each of these documents has made an important reply. As soon as I read the approval, I knew that Meng always read these documents carefully and thought about it.

even wrote some words that made Deng Yun smile bitterly, such as writing on the document approval to Deep Space Film and Television: "Why is the movie so slow? I've been waiting for the update for three months! Hurry up!"

"It turns out that this is a real genius!" Deng Yun sighed in his heart, how fast does this brain think to complete the workload of someone else's day in thirty minutes?

……

Meng Xiaobai went to Bluestar Automobile, an unmanned research base.

After half a year, the general structure of the Bluestar Automobile Gigafactory has been completed, and it will be put into production in a few months.

But the unmanned driving technology that Meng Xiaobai requested, they actually said that it would take two or three years to mature and perfect. So Meng Xiaobai couldn't sit still, and went over to urge the progress in person.

"Mr. Meng, this is Professor Hou Yuquan of Modu Jiaotong University, and his team is responsible for the main system. Guan Yang introduced a professor in his fifties.

After a brief chat with Hou Yuquan, Meng Xiaobai asked, "Professor Hou, our Bluestar new energy vehicles will be put into production soon, can the unmanned driving system keep up?"

"There should be time in time. Hou Yuquan said, "Our team has been researching unmanned driving systems for five years, and this time we are cooperating with Bluestar Automobile. After receiving the hardware support of Deep Space Semiconductor, we have upgraded the system again, and now we have passed the technical certification of autonomous driving L3 in the transportation sector. ”

"This technology is already the most advanced in the current automotive field. ”

"L3?" Meng Xiaobai was not satisfied, in the field of autonomous driving, there are a total of five levels.

L1, that is, assisted driving systems, such as automatic cruise control, automatic braking system, etc.

L2 is partially autonomous driving, which is more intelligent than L1 because it can achieve a certain degree of autonomous driving. That said, drivers should always be ready because they may need to drive at any time.

L3 is conditional autonomous driving, which is mostly autonomous driving, and safety officers are also required to observe the situation. This is where the current R&D team has reached, and most of the cars on the market are currently at the L1 and L2 levels. L3 is already in the lead.

L4, basically fully autonomous driving, such as self-driving cars and self-driving buses launched by Google and Qiandu.

The L5 is the highest level, and at this level, the car no longer needs a steering wheel and is completely controlled by intelligent systems.

What Meng Xiaobai thinks about is L5 level autonomous driving. This technology is currently unattainable by no other company in the world.

"Professor Hou, if we improve on the basis of L3, what do you think are the shortcomings?" Meng Xiaobai asked.

"Continue to improve?" Hou Yuquan thought for a while and said, "The various sensor problems that I was most worried about before have been solved by Deep Space Semiconductor. If you want to continue to improve, I think it may be the intelligent driving system of the car. ”

"We need better automotive-grade smart chips, and at the same time update the algorithms for intelligent driving. I think it's not impossible to reach L4 in a year. ”

"Is it a vehicle-grade smart chip? There is no problem with this, as for the algorithm, I'll figure it out. Meng Xiaobai said.

The so-called vehicle-grade smart chip is an intelligent chip that meets all the conditions of car driving. Its biggest feature is that it is safe and stable, and many companies have launched their own automotive-grade chips, but unfortunately the degree of intelligence is not very high.

Meng Xiaobai transferred a few people from Nebula Information Technology Co., Ltd., and then stayed in the research laboratory to carry out the evolution of the unmanned system.

If we want to make the driverless system completely unmanned, we must continue to let the on-board chip handle all traffic situations. This required a lot of data and simulations, but they were able to work with the transportation department to get a large sample of the data.

Secondly, it is necessary for artificial intelligence to "learn" to deal with these things, in this field, Meng Xiaobai said the first, no one dared to say the second!

And he has the correction and addition of Maruko, and his arrival has made the research progress day by day.

At the same time, robot Wang Yuanhang also led the team in the development of automotive-grade intelligent chips in Deep Space Semiconductor, and upgraded the automotive sensing settings.

With these hardware devices, coupled with the on-board intelligent system promoted by Meng Xiaobai, he believes that the unmanned driving system should be able to reach the L5 level.

In the Bluestar Automotive Unmanned System Experimental Base, it only took one month for the R&D team to reach unprecedented heights.
