Chapter 691: The Meeting of the Big Three

"I'm here to educate you about why network latency is so critical. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The signal is invisible, but it still follows the laws of physics and cannot be teleported in a vacuum. Suppose point A is in the capital and point B is in Zhongyun City. The distance between the two points of AB is 800 kilometers, and the time for electromagnetic wave signals to come and go is 0.008 seconds. The normal human reaction speed is 0.2 to 0.4 seconds, and the signal propagation speed, although much faster than the human neural response, does not go directly to point B, it needs to be transmitted to the base station at point A first, and then transmitted from the base station to the base station at point B. The size of the file transfer volume also takes time. Just like when we click on the video, there will always be a little bit of waiting time, which is the time lapse. If there is a delay, then the remote driving may have operating instructions and cannot keep up with the changes in the user's current environment. ”

"Thank you for the popular science upstairs, as soon as you say that, I also think that remote driving is not feasible, what if the base station convulsions for a minute or two?"

"But the remote driving feature is really great, if it succeeds, wouldn't those of us who can't drive be able to go wherever we want?"

"If it's really developed, then I can drive boldly to drink in the future!"

"Upstairs, rest assured, you won't even think about this wish for ten years. ”

"I said that you guys, you guys, don't care if you really get it out, what is the traffic tariff? Remote driving, you must pass the picture to the operation center through the panoramic camera of the thunder car. Don't sit in the car for a few hours, and when you're done, take the car to the mobile company. ”

"Silly, 4G traffic is not valuable, I watch videos every day, and I don't see the phone bill breaking four figures. ”

"Disperse, the transportation department will not approve the release of this feature. Those guys don't seek merit but no fault, and this kind of controversial project at first glance must be one-size-fits-all. ”

"They have a point. Ye Qing, who is reading this article carefully and replying to netizens below the article, feels that this article is quite pertinent, and analyzes in detail the most difficult technical defects in remote driving.

In particular, the transportation department does not seek merit but no fault, and it must be one-size-fits-all, and it does not approve the message of this kind of project.

However, the problems they can all think of, the technical team led by Ye Qing and Dianjing, of course, will also think of it.

But......

When Behemoth submitted detailed project information for remote driving for the first time and submitted it to the Huaxia Transportation Department for review, it received a reply of disapproval in just two days.

As for the reasons for refusal, they argue that remote driving is a safety hazard in the current mode, unless Behemoth can prove that it has a network connection latency of less than 15 milliseconds in this mode.

And give a reliable response plan after accidental disconnection, and ensure the safety of unlicensed drivers and drunk drivers who cannot operate the vehicle.

The relevant departments can continue to review the project.

Fortunately, Ye Qing was mentally prepared for this. The remote driving function of the thunder car has a far-reaching impact. Because once approved, people who do not have a driver's license can ride alone, even if they are drunk drivers.

This simply subverts everyone's perception of traffic safety, and if it is not handled well, it can trigger the public to fiercely condemn this project.

It's good that the transportation department can review this project, and if you change it to a foreign company, you can ensure that you don't throw it off.

Even if you change companies, you can't shake it off.

Of course, Ye Qing was confident that he would finally pass the approval, because the giant beast industry has a killer feature.

……

Twenty hours have passed since the new version of the Giant Beast Industrial Upgrade Thunderbolt.

The news of remote driving has also sparked more and more discussions on the Internet. Some people have criticized Behemoth Industries for starting to hype up the concept, and it is impossible to wait 20 years for the project to come to fruition.

There are also people who support the project and hope that the sooner it happens, the better, because it will be a great blessing for those who can't drive.

When the Peregrine Falcon flew over the continent and crossed the ocean, it finally arrived in the sky over China. The news that the giant beast industry is going to engage in remote driving has also spread across the ocean to European and American countries.

Now the monster industry has entered the eyes of more and more European and American netizens.

In the front, there is a Phantom Crystal mobile phone, and a giant god who heroically saves people on the ocean, and then there is a super cute intelligent assistant that can soften people's hearts. Unconsciously, European and American countries have discovered that a world-class industrial technology company has risen in the far east.

Each of their products can hit people's hearts like lightning. However, this company seems to have enmity with Europe and the United States, or this company likes to hide its products and not share them with foreign customers.

This time, they're going to launch a remote driving feature again?

When various science and technology magazines publish articles, they will always subconsciously compare the giant beast industry with their proud domestic enterprises. And then somehow came to the conclusion that domestic technology companies are good garbage.

Among them, Tesla is the most criticized.

At Tesla's headquarters in Silicon Valley, Tesla's CEO Martin is holding an important networking conference related to Behemoth Industries.

There are only three protagonists in this webinar, Archon Martin, Mr. Akram, Director of the Energy Bureau, and Mr. Bertram, President of Raytheon Technologies. The faces of the three bigwigs appeared on the same screen, and their expressions were extremely similar, all of them were frowning expressions that were owed hundreds of millions.

"Mr. Bertram, how far have you gone in evaluating and testing the application of plasma batteries in the military field?"

The three of them didn't even have the necessary etiquette to say hello, and it seemed to be similar to a video conference, which had been held more than once.

Raytheon Technologies is one of the key defense contractors of the U.S. military, and most of its products revolve around military technology projects. At the same time, this technology company is also one of the few companies in China that has dealt with the giant beast industry.

Since Tesla reported its astonishing discovery in the Thunder car last month, the Energy Bureau has immediately launched a comprehensive evaluation of the plasma battery, with the military side handed over to Raytheon Technology and the civilian side to Tesla.

Compared with the arrogance and complacency when he first dealt with the giant beast industry, the expression of the president of Raytheon Technology at this time was already faintly in awe because of the in-depth research on plasma batteries.

Technology is very intuitive, and the strong are admired. As for those who throw their peers a dozen streets away, they will make their peers desperate and fearful......

"The tests of small electronic equipment have been completed, and now the tests of medium and large military equipment are being carried out, including field radars, vehicle-mounted UAVs, and small special submarines. ”

"What's the conclusion so far?" said President Bertram with several military projects that made the director of the Energy Bureau a little nervous.

"Very bad. ”

Bertram, president of Raytheon Technologies, shook his head, "I mean we're in a very bad situation, we got three plasma battery samples. No matter what device we connected it to, it showed an amazing match. Loaded on the drone, it has increased the endurance of the drone by nearly four and a half times, and the special submarine will be tested in the afternoon. ”

"But I'm pessimistic about the results because it will destroy our confidence in the energy sector. ”

"I see, what about in the civilian realm?" Aklan, the director, sighed and turned to ask Tesla Executive Martin.

"Our faith has been completely destroyed. Martin pondered for a moment before speaking, "Just yesterday, we noticed that Behemoth Industries had upgraded the system of the Thunder Automobile. In addition to optimizing the original functions, this upgrade also announced the introduction of a remote driving function. ”

"I've seen the news. Director Akram said: "Since Behemoth Industries dares to propose this plan, it must have made a breakthrough in wireless connection technology. ”

"The military version is always one level higher than the civilian version, and it is applicable in any country, especially Huaxia. ”

"There must be a stronger version of the plasma battery in the giant beast industry, and we can notice the excellence of the plasma battery, and the same can be done by the Huaxia energy department. ”

"After you finish testing, these plasma batteries will all be dismantled and analyzed and imitated for energy storage materials, and we can't lag behind in the important energy field. ”

"No, Mr. Director. Martin smiled bitterly: "We bought four more thunder cars through special channels, after all, it is our Tesla's number one rival." ”

"Sell... Sell me one. Bertram, president of Raytheon Technology, said embarrassed.
