Chapter 729: Road Test
On the speedplatform of the multi-directional car, the thunder car was quietly parked there. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the traffic light ahead, the red light is flashing non-stop.
Coupled with the traffic sign simulation system on the ground, this made the reporters feel a kind of nervous excitement in the examination room with the thunder car, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the exam.
If you judge according to the 90-point passing standard of subject 1, in this examination room, even the old taxi drivers who have been driving for many years have failed the test, which shows how harsh and strict this assessment is!
The viewers who were watching the live broadcast of this test had a sense of excitement to participate in the turning point in history.
"Everyone, come and guess how many points can you score in the thunder car?"
"I guess 80, I heard the fat officer say that this is a place that simulates all the road signs in the country. If we go to the test, it is estimated that we will not be able to get forty. ”
"I rely on ~ this system is amazing, I feel that the thunder car is not testing the remote driving function, but testing the driver's license. It reminds me of the first time I took the first subject, and I took it five times......"
"This test method is clear at a glance, and I have to say that our country is getting better and better. ”
"Subject 1, subject 2, subject 3, it's really vivid, if the thunder car can pass these tests, then I recognize the function of remote driving. ”
"I approve of it too!"
……
"Please wait a minute. ”
The representative of the US side spoke out, interrupting the thoughts of many viewers at the scene and in the live broadcast.
"U.S. representative, do you have anything to add?" Director Duan Shuangqing snorted, signaling not to start the test yet.
"Guys~ As a third-party watchdog, we have a few questions that we would like to ask before the test begins. ”
"First, according to prior information, the function of remote driving is divided into two types: remote driver driving and remote supercomputing driving. So, we want to know what kind of driving mode is it for this test?"
"Second, whether the wireless connection of remote driving is strictly in accordance with the network environment under the real road? This is very important, if the test center is also installed network repeater, or the wireless network interface is open to the thunder car, then we believe that this test can not fairly and impartially test the good and bad remote driving function. ”
"Thirdly, how far is the remote driving command center from us? If it's too close, I don't think it's in line with the real road environment. ”
After speaking, the representative of the US side handed the inquiring eyes to the representative of the giant beast industry.
The media gallery paused for a few seconds, and then quickly relieved, and the reporter also hurried through the microphone to explain the meaning of the two questions of the US representative to the audience watching the live broadcast.
When Behemoth Industry introduced this function, it was said that in the early stage, the thunder car would be remotely controlled by a professional driver. When the various driving habits of these drivers are entered by the supercomputer, the supercomputer will gradually replace these old drivers and become "virtual drivers" through the accumulation of a large amount of data.
So now, the driver's seat of the thunderous car is empty. Later, will it be the trained professional driver who is driving, or the "virtual driver" of the supercomputer driving?
The second issue is online public opinion, which discusses the issue of wireless connectivity, which has the most remote driving functions.
As we all know, when the remote driving function is turned on, the thunder car can only rely on the 4G network throughout the city to connect to the command center of the giant beast industry.
On the other hand, the 4G network will have the problem of dropped connections, or the problem of reduced signal strength.
The thunder car in front of me is about to turn on the remote driving function, which can only be tested by connecting to the 4G network.
The U.S. representative wants to make sure of this, in case the testing center opens up the wireless router with gigabit fiber broadband to the thunder car. Then what else to test, sitting in the thunder car, watching Blu-ray HD movies can do.
The third point is latency, the farther the distance, the greater the latency of the wireless network. Isn't it cheating if Behemoth Industries moves the control center nearby?
I have to say that the US representative asked these questions very professionally, and they also attracted the attention of the media and the audience.
Oh, yes~
Many reporters nodded in agreement, and only by confirming these problems can this test be perfect.
"The representative of the American side seemed to come prepared. On the representative seat of the giant beast industry, Kong Tao looked at Jay with a smile but not a smile, "The first question, I would like to ask the US representative first, which model do you want us to use, which is more in line with the requirements of this test?"
"Naturally, it's a 'virtual driver', and since the goal of Behemoth Industry is to replace the driver with a supercomputer, then I think it's okay for the supercomputer to recognize traffic signs. Jayne, the representative of the US side, put on a selfless expression, but he was actually smiling in his heart.
To his left and right, sat a group of senior technicians from Tesla's Smart Car Lab.
These senior technicians have analyzed that it is impossible for the Behemoth Industry to let supercomputers replace drivers in a short period of time. Their Tesla Motors Lab started researching this technology five years ago, but they knew that today, the system they developed still can't accurately recognize various traffic signs on the road.
It's only been a few months since Behemoth entered the automotive space?
"We also think that 'virtual drivers' are better suited for the job. Kong Tao nodded, and spoke faster, "The answer to the second and third points is no, the testing center includes nearby, we have not placed any network relay devices, and we have not opened any network to the thunder car here." As for the control center, it is naturally in Zhongyun City. ”
"If the U.S. representative is skeptical, we welcome it to come and verify it. ”
"We don't have a problem anymore. Jayne, the representative of the U.S. side, smiled.
Director Duan Shuangqing once again announced the start of the test, and with the order, the technicians on the side followed to start the test equipment here.
"Count down the tens of seconds, and ask the relevant testers to be ready. ”
"Ten, nine, eight..."
"Five, four, three..."
With the electronic synthesis countdown sound ringing in the ears, the thundering car that was originally parked on the multi-directional speedplatform silently lit up the daytime running lights, and at the same time, in the chrome trim line under the car glass, there was a circle of green lights flashing, which looked very sci-fi.
When the countdown ended, the flashing red light ahead immediately turned green.
The empty thunder car was also spinning its tires in the next moment, and it was speeding up on the speedplatform.
The rollers on the speedtable rotate in close to the tires, so the thunder car always maintains its original position in the driving state.
Five seconds later, on a large screen on one side, the speed of the thunderous car was displayed at 40, and the sound of tires and rollers rotating and rubbing was humming. Just when everyone was looking around and where the road signs were, a sign with a speed limit of 60~120 suddenly appeared from the front.
The thunder car is obviously standing still, but the sign is drawn from far and near, approaching the thunder, giving people the feeling that the thunder car is moving forward on the road.
This is the sign moving, and everyone quickly recognizes this sign, which is a very common speed limit road sign on the highway. Many people laughed, and the thunderous car was on the highway before it ran for a few seconds.
"Hum~"
The moment the sign appeared, the thunder car began to speed up, and it took two seconds to go from 40 yards to 100, and at the same time, the large screen on one side also quickly gave a point.
[If you judge correctly, add 1 to your score!]
[The reaction time from the appearance of the sign to the acceleration is 0.05 seconds.] 】
[Past test results, the average driver reaction time is 0.88 seconds.] 】
"Huh?" Director Duan Shuangqing suddenly made a clever move, good guy, his reaction speed exceeded the human level by twenty times. You must know that these past results are all tested by professional drivers.
The reporters in the media table also rubbed their eyes and looked at the content on the screen in surprise.
But before they could mentally calculate the speed, another traffic sign appeared.
It's a triangle with a ...... printed on it.
What's printed?
It took a second or two for everyone to read the sign, which was a smoking locomotive.
However, as early as the moment the sign appeared, the brake lights had already been lit. By the time the hall sounded the whistle of "Dudu~", the thunder car had stopped in place for several seconds. With the whistle blowing, a locomotive actually drove from one side......
This is a foam board prop locomotive fixed to the slide rails, which is also covered with potholes and crash marks.
"Uh......" Director Duan Shuangqing swallowed hard and explained into the microphone: "Don't worry about how unreasonable it is to drive a train on a high-speed speed, after all, we are here to test the driver's ability to deal with various accidents." ”
"As you can see, most professional drivers have turned their heads at this level in the past. This is an unguarded traffic sign at a railway crossing, and our system can determine the distance between the train and the car according to the speed of the vehicle. The driver couldn't react, and instead of going straight through, the train slammed into the car diagonally. ”
Judge correctly, score plus 1!
The reaction time from the appearance of the sign to the braking is 0.04 seconds.
"I have nothing to say, human beings will not be able to reach this speed of reaction in a lifetime. Director Duan Shuangqing gave a thumbs up to the representative of the giant beast industry.
The representative of the giant beast industry, Director Chong Duan Shuangqing greeted with a smile.
The US representatives, on the other hand, looked shocked and uncertain.
