Chapter 373: Ma Lusha
It's just head-on or something.,Since the popularity of battle games such as dota、lol has become popular unconsciously.,It probably means to stand still and not run around and fight a frontal positional battle or something.-
Here, however, it refers to the fact that the Dragon Egg Automobile takes the initiative to raise the body in an emergency, so that as many bodies as possible can participate in the collision in the event of a rear-end collision.
So hit the past, not to mention that the dragon egg is just the use of lightweight FRP material body, even if it is stainless steel, it still has to be deformed and can not be used, can not be used in this way, can play the maximum extent of the "collapse energy absorption" energy absorption effect, reduce the cab and the occupants said to be affected by the impact force, combined with seat belts, airbags can save the lives of the occupants to the greatest extent.
In fact, the test driver named Shen Pengcheng is a little joke here, as a new electric vehicle that focuses on safety and intelligence, just front or something, using "car destruction" to avoid "death" is just the last card of the comprehensive safety system, in fact, in addition to making the crash test score of the dragon egg a little better, there is basically not much use.
Because the dragon egg with intelligent driving technology has a more effective and perfect accident prevention mechanism, there are few serious collision accidents.
The most likely scenario should be a state where minor accidents are constant and major accidents are rare.
As the successor of the pony scooter series, Dragon Egg also inherited the Smartd day VE intelligent driving system used by the former, although it still only provides driving suggestions, unlike the CarCity automatic driving system, which does not require the driver to participate in the whole process of controlling the vehicle automatically, but it is only missing the last step of the execution link, the previous path management, road scanning, driving strategy selection and so on are complete.
Of course, due to legal and regulatory issues, as well as risk avoidance reasons, the SD system is not at full fire, and most of the time behaves more like a nagging navigator, until some emergency situations will pop up to provide the best advice to the panicked driver, strangling the impending major accident at the initial stage, and replacing it with a small accident that can be undertaken.
However, these "small accidents" are not just ordinary scratching off paint, there are also many blood stains of stray animals.
On the Internet, the predecessor of the dragon egg, the pony scooter has a nickname of "stray dog killer" or even "road killer", which means that in the encounter with stray dogs and pigs and cattle that suddenly run onto the road, the pony's SD intelligent driving system will never remind the driver to take the initiative to avoid, and even sometimes in order to avoid skidding in the opposite direction after hitting the animals on the road, it will also take the initiative to suggest that the driver hit the steering wheel in the direction of the stray dog, and these animals that illegally trespassed into the motor lane.
It is not surprising, then, that a large number of animals have died tragically under the wheels of ponies over the past two years or so.
In addition, the escape of the mad cow of the pig is very rare, the black bear and wild boar coming down the mountain is also a small probability event, and the stray cat usually does not go to the road, so it is not difficult to explain why it is called the "stray dog killer".
Because of this nickname and a series of collisions, the driver and the pony company have suffered a lot of criticism and even lawsuits, the plaintiffs have animal protection organizations and caring people, and there are also careless dog owners who walk dogs with thick nerves and never leash, but the pony company rarely loses the lawsuit to compensate and apologize, after all, no matter how much emphasis is placed on "respect for life", in essence, the safety of human life is always the first, and the second is legal property, whether it is the civil law system or the law of the sea system, no country's legislator dares to violate these two articles after all" The principles of the inviolability of private property and the supremacy of life are legendary universal values.
In order to protect the safety of drivers and passers-by for human life and property, it is indeed legal and reasonable to sacrifice stray animals that illegally trespass on the road, although it is not reasonable.
But that's the case, under the premise that the rules are clear and various situations can be exhausted, rigid AI programs can always be better than human drivers. Dealing with all kinds of driving problems faster, although these choices can sometimes seem too cold-blooded and ruthless, it is precisely because there is no need to consider emotional factors that the program can make the optimal decision rationally and quickly, unlike normal drivers, when they see a dog suddenly rushing to the front of the car, they subconsciously brake and hit the steering wheel, and as a result, they put themselves and other passengers and possible passers-by in danger or even death.
Of course, the pony company dares to do this in China, after all, there is no simple face (raccoon) or kangaroo, reindeer and the like suddenly running out of the road in China, and at most it is just stray dogs and porcelain dogs that are not covered by wildlife protection laws.
However, the pony scooter rarely encounters porcelain touchers, one is that the car is too slow, it is not easy to grasp the diving opportunity, and the other is even if it is perfectly pounced, in front of the former more than a dozen cameras all over the car, no matter how skillful the diving posture is just a clumsy performance, so after some peers have suffered losses, no one has the idea of hitting the car, but those endless stray dogs are still unlucky to bury the wheels from time to time.
Of course, the biggest difference between SD intelligent driving and CC intelligent driving is that the former itself has no executive ability, if the driver does not follow the system prompts to operate, or simply turn off the former, then the car will become an ordinary car, should be hit or hit. The previous scooter speed was too slow, but the current dragon egg and the official version of the pony electric car behind it, but the top speed of 130kmph was booked early, and in the event of an accident, the destructive power is much greater than the former.
Therefore, the on-board computer of the dragon egg is endowed with some functions similar to the black box of an airplane, which can record the driving suggestions given by SD and the actual operation of the driver during the driving process, so that once there is an accident, the responsibility can be quickly clarified, and if the operation is carried out according to the prompts, it is naturally the responsibility of the pony company.
In fact, many cars now have similar driving recording functions, some have airbag computers to record some information such as speed gears, and some are equipped with a dash cam with GPS positioning function, which can record speed and location information to facilitate the headquarters to track the location and status of police cars, trucks, and rescue cars, and there is a driving video recorder placed on the driver's platform, which is mainly used to record scenery and prevent collisions.
In addition to time, position, direction, attitude and speed, as well as the real-time status of each major subsystem, there are also video recordings inside and outside the car, of course, these sensors and cameras are the ears and eyes of the intelligent driving system, and the system relies on the data they provide to judge decisions when driving.
Seeing that the test driver did not mean to refuse their inquiry, Zhao Xilin simply beckoned the driver to stop and ran down to watch it up close. As a mechanical and electrical graduate, although he is now forced to become a door lock designer because of life, he is still very interested in other mechanical and electrical equipment, especially automobiles and airplanes.
If you look closer, you will find that the shell of this car has a unique luster that is different from other cars, it does not look so bright, but has a little candy color, and if you look at the right angle, you can see that there are many dense little dots on the body, which feels like those fine dots on the eggshell. Zhao Xilin nodded, no wonder this guy was called "Dragon Egg", and he was indeed wearing an eggshell.
Compared with the eggshell-shaped shell of the glazing plate, Zhao Xilin still prefers to squat down and look at the support column on the inside of the wheel, feeling full of mechanical beauty.
After looking at it carefully for a long time, he raised his gaze and looked elsewhere, and immediately noticed several sets of cameras on the body, and then a slightly raised cylindrical shape at the bottom of the car, "What is this?
Comrade Shen Pengcheng, the cool test driver, kicked him from afar angrily, pointed to the round stick under the car and said, "Don't you see the five letters of sonar so big?"
"Oh, I see, it's sonar again, but isn't it supposed to be called ultrasonic radar when used in the air?"
"Ultrasonic radar is also available, inside those two nostrils," Shen Pengcheng said with his outstretched arm pointing to the two round holes at the front of the eggshell, "As for this stick, of course it is used in the water!"
After his explanation, Zhao Xilin realized that the dragon egg is not a pure electric car, it can not only run on the road, but also wade through the flooded streets, which is very suitable for cities that must see the sea in summer.
Speaking of which, from the beginning of its establishment, Pony Transport Equipment was determined to develop in an all-round way by land, sea and air, but for various reasons, only the light scooter running on land was successful, and the ship and aircraft projects are still in the design stage. And this car happened to have several urban sea watching incidents during the research and development process, and even the United States imperialism, which had a well-developed urban construction, still had no way to catch chickens when Hurricane Sandy ravaged the east coast, so it simply added a wading function to it.
Of course, Zhao Xilin also understands that the reason why this is the case is also due to the glass fiber reinforced plastic integrated body and brushless wheel hub motor used by the dragon egg, the former makes the chassis of the dragon egg smooth and complete, greatly reducing the possibility of water leakage, and the well-designed body is also much lighter than the usual steel car, which can easily float on the water.
Of course, there is no equipment such as a waterjet on the body of the dragon egg, so if you really want to float, it will cause the vehicle to lose power, but fortunately, this car has four long legs, which can be extended when the water level rises, so that the four tires can effectively contact the underwater road and provide forward power.
As for the cylinder, which he noticed early, its function was to detect manholes and obstacles in the water while wading, as well as to determine the depth and speed of the water.
Although this car is not afraid of flooding, but if you rashly break into the underground tunnel that is completely flooded, you still need a cup, after all, the wading function is essentially just the excavation of the potential of the car's original equipment, at most it is to add a small sonar to strengthen safety, but to increase the real water driving ability, it is necessary to change the body, add water-jet propulsion and the corresponding electric motor. But this function is useless most of the time, and it is obviously not cost-effective to increase the weight of the body for it, so the dragon egg does not have this function.
Although it is still in the development stage, because the dragon egg is actually the so-called enlarged version of the facelift, the basic functions are already there, and based on the concept of transparent development of the bees themselves, they don't mind having someone visit and experience, of course, no matter how "transparent", the real core technology should be kept secret or kept secret.
Therefore, after seeing Zhao Xilin's eager look, Shen Pengcheng generously said, "If you want to see it, you can go up and take a look, but you can't press the red start button on the steering wheel!"
Zhao Xilin naturally agreed to come down in a hurry, opened the door and looked into it first, the biggest feeling of this car for him is spacious, because the engine is integrated in the wheels, in addition to the driver's platform and 2+2 seats in the cab, the rest of the car is the battery pack and on-board electronic system, as well as the hydraulic equipment that drives the four legs, and these equipment are hidden in the cabin floor, so at a glance, it looks like the net height inside the small car body is very good, sitting in the driver's seat does not feel restrained, of course, it is not okay to stand up, after all, this is only a medium-sized car, not the huge RV of Boss Ma。
Looking down, in addition to the center console instrument is LCD, other such as steering wheel, foot brake, accelerator, clutch pedal, transmission lever car control five major pieces and handbrake are all available, and the shape and position are not much different from other cars.
"This is for the convenience of users, so the operation habits of ordinary cars are retained," Shen Pengcheng explained: "It is said that when the design of this piece was determined, it was quarreled, and some people wanted to cut the clutch and transmission, leaving only the steering wheel and brake accelerator, but some people asked that even the steering wheel should be dismantled and directly unmanned, but in the end it was still the same." ”
"Which do you think is better?"
Shen Pengcheng patted the roof of the car, "I don't think it's good, intelligent driving, automatic driving, or whatever, all of them are robbing my grandma's job?
Zhao Xilin: "Please allow me to make an orz emoji." ”
"Frustrated body bends forward, I understand, I understand, come on, get out of the way for you, you can do it!"
Zhao Xilin looked at Shen Pengcheng who was out of the way outside the car in a daze, his eyes swept back and forth over the furrow on the other party's face, doubting his judgment of his age.
"Hahahaha! scared you, right?" Shen Pengcheng, who looked to be in his thirties, smiled and patted Zhao Xilin's shoulder: "Young man, we are also in the eighties!" Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
