Chapter 544: A Talking Wonder Car!
When the era of robots comes, there will indeed be a lot of jobs replaced by them, and many experts believe that according to the current development trend of robots, in 20 years, 50% of the world's people will be unemployed.
It's just that Li Zetian will not develop robots because of this?
No!
Technology can't be stopped.
Don't you develop, and so do others?
At the moment, many people are anxious about the rapid development of artificial intelligence robots, including the world-renowned scientist Stephen Hawking. These people believe that the development of artificial intelligence is to open Pandora's box and release the devil, and sooner or later mankind will encounter an artificial intelligence crisis!
In this regard, Li Zetian smiled noncommittally, no matter what the future holds, but for the time being, artificial intelligence is beneficial to human beings.
In fact, humans have an advantage over humans when it comes to robots.
The human brain is 10,000 times more powerful than the most advanced robots.
Also, humans have genes, but robots don't.
If you grasp the mystery of genes, you will be like a god!
In the movie or in it, human genes mutate and then have powerful superpowers, which is actually very scientific. There is a "super human" program within the gene technology company, which purposefully modifies human genes through gene editing technology to make human beings healthier and stronger!
Although much has not been achieved yet, there is always nothing wrong with the direction of research.
In the future, humans will still be the race at the top of the food chain!!
……
Leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rests.
Li Zetian leaned on the balcony, quietly pondering, after the weather cleared, the corner of Li Zetian's mouth gave a faint smile.
"There is too much unemployment for mankind, but I have a solution!"
"Hehe, in the next US presidential election, I think the Americans will dare not support me?"
Li Zetian covets the position of president of the United States very much, as long as he can achieve this position, his power will become incomparable, and the family industry will take off because of this, and then completely control the United States economically, politically, and even militarily!!
In December, the Christmas season arrives.
The United States and even the Western world have to make large purchases, and Andrew Robotics has reduced the price to $3,000. Due to the expansion of production scale and the improvement of production technology, the manufacturing cost of Andrew Robot has been greatly reduced, which is about 2,500 US dollars. Therefore, even if you sell for $3,000, you can make $500.
However, users don't know.
As soon as they saw Andrew's robot drop in price, they came to the store to buy it.
For everyone, the Robot Continent is undoubtedly the best family gift this Christmas.
Soon, the year passed.
In January 2012, the financial statements of the major companies for last year came out.
Li Zetian glanced at it and was very satisfied, the total revenue exceeded 8.6 trillion US dollars, and the net profit was more than 925 billion US dollars, if it were not for the increased technology research and development efforts, the net profit would definitely exceed 1 trillion US dollars!
Money makes money, and so much money earned will continue to be used for investment, or to buy businesses.
Nowadays, Li Zetian's business empire is getting bigger and bigger, and it is changing dramatically every day.
In the past two years, Li Zetian's infiltration into Asian countries, including India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and other countries, has reached a very terrifying level, and the Internet, finance, energy, electricity, food, real estate, industrial manufacturing, and so on are simply pervasive.
In addition, Li Zetian has also vigorously developed mining in African countries and acquired many mines. In fact, the price of buying these mines is very cheap, you know, after the subprime mortgage financial crisis, the global mineral prices have plummeted, countless mining companies have collapsed, and the world's three largest mining companies at that time, Vale, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, have plummeted in market value, less than half of what it used to be.
With the rise of Li Zetian's integration of the automotive industry, robots and artificial intelligence homes, the mining market soon recovered, and the mines that Li Zetian bought at the beginning have now increased in value more than tenfold.
It's just that even if Chronos Industries becomes the world's largest mining company, it still can't satisfy those companies under Li Zetian's name.
……
The Christmas holidays are over, and people are starting to return to their jobs.
Li Zetian frequently traveled to Tesla Motors and Gene Technology to pay attention to unmanned cars and brainwave technology.
On February 10, the construction of Tesla's unmanned car manufacturing plant was completed.
The facility, built in Los Angeles, covers an area of about 10 million square meters and is the second largest in the world.
The world's largest factory is the Chronos Industrial Artificial Intelligence Robot Manufacturing Plant in Nevada, covering an area of 15 million square meters.
From February 15th, Tesla's unmanned cars began mass production, half a month earlier than the estimated time.
This time, two models will be produced, a luxury version of the Tesla Roadster X, priced at $500,000, and a Tesla Model 1, a high-performance sedan, priced at $100,000.
Both cars are very expensive, but there is no way, they are electric vehicles and unmanned vehicles, and the manufacturing cost is so high.
On March 10, Tesla Motors was ready to advertise, and the company's CEO suddenly called Li Zetian and said that he wanted to ask Eve to be the advertising spokesperson for Tesla Motors.
Artificial intelligence robots make endorsements for unmanned cars?
Li Zetian was stunned at the time, and then agreed, thinking that this idea was quite good.
Since April 1, the advertisements of Tesla's unmanned cars have successively landed on various publicity channels, such as TV stations, the Internet, newspapers, bus stops, etc.
After seeing these ads, people can't help but be amazed, whether it is the Tesla Roadster X, or the Tesla Model 1, they are extremely amazing.
It's just that the expensive price is prohibitive.
"It would be great if I had a car like that......"
"Sexy girl begging the local tyrant to take it away, as long as you have such a luxury car, I will be your girlfriend!"
"Damn, it's so cool!! Eve just walked out of the company building, and the unmanned car automatically drove out of the garage by itself, and finally stopped in front of Eve!"
"Tsk, that's really cool!"
"Uh, when walking, Tesla's unmanned car can still follow slowly, I'll go, this is amazing!"
Tesla's unmanned car caused a sensation in the United States, but President Gal and others were not happy, and they faintly felt that a crisis was coming.
……
On June 1, Tesla's unmanned car was officially launched.
There are still many local tyrants in the world, and in a week, Truss Motors sold 15,000 Tesla Roadster X and 263,000 Tesla Model 1.
The sales are so good, it is natural to make people blush.
Many car companies then put behind the Black Terras unmanned car, saying that unmanned cars are unsafe and prone to car accidents.
Li Zetian disdained it.
Now that so many people have bought unmanned vehicles, as long as word of mouth is publicized, these rumors will be self-defeating.
When people are full of trust in unmanned cars, they can fully launch Uber's driverless car-hailing service, and the drivers who have cooperated with Uber before will only choose the more reputable ones to stay. Even if users don't choose unmanned vehicles, they have another choice.
Japan, Toyota.
"Bageya Road!! our Toyota is the best car, and we can't let Tesla steal our market position, especially the American market! Hurry up and let the development team develop unmanned cars!!" An old man in his sixties yelled at everyone in the conference room.
"Yes, yes, yes!" everyone nodded submissively, but how can it be so easy to develop unmanned cars...... but Toyota's technology and heritage are too strong, and there is also the support of the Japanese consortium behind it, so everyone still has some confidence. In fact, Toyota Motor Corporation is also developing unmanned cars, after all, unmanned cars have been very popular in recent years.
The next day, Toyota held a press conference to announce the concept car of Toyota's unmanned car.
Toyota Motor Company thinks so, although I have not developed an unmanned car, but after all, I am the industry leader, with a huge user base, that is, many fans, as long as I say that Toyota's unmanned car is about to be developed, then these users will not buy Tesla unmanned car immediately, but wait until Toyota's unmanned car is developed, and then buy Toyota unmanned car.
In this way, Tesla's orders for unmanned vehicles can be greatly reduced.
"Wow, Toyota's unmanned car is about to be developed, which is great! I've been driving Toyota before, and I think Toyota is very good!"
"I was going to buy a Tesla driverless car, but I thought it was expensive and hesitated. Since Toyota is also going to launch unmanned cars, I'll wait and see. Toyota cars have always been inexpensive, and they are the best-selling cars in the United States, so they should be cheaper than Tesla cars in terms of price. ”
"Toyota Motor is a big international brand, and there is a guarantee! Tesla Motors has only been established for a few years? If an unmanned car has an accident, it will be a tragedy......
“……”
Li Zetian looked at the messages on the Internet and frowned.
"Toyota wants to fight with me, okay, come on, who's afraid of whom! Lao Tzu not only wants to develop unmanned cars, but also develops 'Transformers' !!"
Thinking of this, Li Zetian suddenly became inexplicably excited.
He naturally knows that with the current level of technology, he will definitely not be able to develop the "Transformers" in the movie, but if artificial intelligence is added to the unmanned car, so that it can speak and have a very unique character, it is also quite interesting. In the future, if possible, we will not be able to develop a car that can be turned into a robot!
If BMW suddenly says "don't touch me", will it frighten children?
Li Zetian laughed wickedly.
Immediately, Li Zetian called the CEO of Tesla Motors, told him what he meant, instructed him to contact Chronos Industries, and then held a press conference to announce the matter.
In less than two weeks, the matter was settled, and a press conference was held the next day.
