On a summer afternoon, there is hardly any wind on the road, and the images of the road and vehicles in the distance are rubbed back and forth by the twisted updrafts on the road, becoming uncertain and ethereal, as if the illusion of a mirage has descended on the road.

"Got it!" The intellectuals in this narrow plantation have long been accustomed to the huge insects that whizz by from time to time on the rocky ground without trees and grass in the forest: black beetles, white beetles, blue beetles, green beetles, and long red and bulky beetles.

Of course, they don't understand what is whistling on the road under the tree, anyway, for these summer cicadas, since they climbed the tree and faded their shells, they will never go down to the ground again in their lives, and they may not fall to the ground again until the summer leaves and the autumn wind blows. But that would also mean the end of their lives, and the cicadas that fell to the ground would only be reduced to the mouths of birds or ants.

The primitive nervous system of this ancient insect is certainly not enough to support their powerful and rich visual memory, and the idea that the cicadas in the trees will mistake their car truck for an oversized beetle is just wishful thinking on the part of humans. It's like they believe that all things have spirits, birds have birds, and beasts have beasts.

For most animals and plants, their life cycle is just a "animation" determined by genes, from the time the sperm and egg combine to give birth to a fertilized egg, their genetic combination is basically determined, what they will look like in the future, and what life habits are predictable. Just like these cicadas, from the moment the mother uses a needle-like ovipositor to nail the eggs under the branches, the hatching time of the eggs, the morphology of the juvenile nymphs, the number of molts, and the time spent underground are all programmed and precise under hormonal control.

"These cicadas in our country are not obvious, such as the 13-year-old and 17-year-old cicadas in North America, which are wonderful, and their larval stage has to stay underground for 13 and 17 years, and then intensively unearthed and spread their wings, squeak and squeak for a summer, and then die intensively, but the North American colonists of that year were scared. Atletico tilted his head slightly and said to a few people in the back seat.

"17 years of cicadas, there are really cicadas that long to live, better than the life span of cats and dogs!"

"It's different, 17-year-old cicadas are accurate to live for 17 years, and cats and dogs have long and short lifespans, generally rarely more than 10 years, but if they are well raised, they also live for 20 or even 30 years. ”

Liu Shumeng looked out the window and asked with a yearning on his face: "That's also very powerful, this should be the longest-living insect, right?"

"It seems that yes," Atletico said, nodding his head, "these cicadas are a few strange flowers born by natural selection, and 17 and 13 are prime numbers, which can effectively avoid the 'yellow finch behind' cups served on the table." ”

"But I think praying mantis is an annual insect, right?"

"Praying mantis hatches in early summer and freezes to death in late autumn, which is indeed considered annual, but although praying mantis catches cicadas and eats geckos, they are always a few, and the most they eat are mainly small insects such as flies, mosquitoes and even bees. After all, they prefer to dress up as green leaves, dead branches or even petals, waiting for the rabbit, like the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches, and there are very few cases of active attacks in the post-idiom. ”

"Haha, idioms are written in books, so most of the idioms were created by ancient literati, and it would be good for them to know that praying mantis can eat cicadas, so how can they have the leisure to go to the garden to observe how praying mantis hunts?"

"That's right!" Atletico raised his head and said to Liu Shumeng in the rearview mirror: "Many of those literati in ancient times were very subjective and idealistic, and the cicadas lay on the trees and sucked the sap non-stop, but they were simply imagined by those short-sighted eyes and presbyopia as eating the wind and drinking and not eating the fireworks in the world. The cicada has obviously lived underground for several years, and when it comes to the ground, the golden cicada is shedding its shell, and the male cicada vibrates and screams desperately to attract female cicadas to fly to mate and reproduce, but they understand it as a chilling cicada crying, hey, it's really too much!"

"That's not necessarily, maybe the rhythm of the male cicada's chirping is in their language and keeps shouting, 'Sister, come on, sister, come, there is a handsome cicada here, strong, handsome, handsome, genetically excellent, it is really the best match for breeding the next generation......!

"Third brother, why are you so skilled in opening a two-dollar store chain?" asked Atletico with a smile.

Although he was sitting in the driver's seat at the moment, holding the steering wheel with both hands, his mind was not on driving at all.

And Liu Shumeng, who was sitting in the back seat, was not at all worried about the potential safety hazards that Atletico Madrid's distraction might cause, but chatted warmly with Atletico Madrid. Liu Haiyang next to him is even more powerful, his eyes are only staring at the netbook on his lap, reading an English paper, and from time to time he has to copy some sentences and paragraphs and paste them into another document, this is not that he is using "CTRLC, CTRLV (PC copy, paste shortcut)**" to prepare the paper, after all, the thesis of the third year has been handed in, and the senior thesis has not yet reached the time to choose the topic, he is just extracting the main points in the paper to make excerpts, and turning back to repeat the other party's experiment.

The reason why the three of them are not afraid of worrying about car accidents is that they are driving "another person" Atletico Madrid, a Mercedes-Benz commercial car, has been converted into a fuel-electric hybrid car by him, in order to legally pass the annual review, he borrowed the tiger skin of the heron, and cooperated with the computer department to develop self-driving robots, so that they can legally go on the road in the name of scientific research experiments, just like this time.

Different from the cruise control function on the ordinary car, the car's unmanned system can not only achieve cruise control, but also automatic avoidance, route selection and other functions, after setting the destination, you don't care about it at all, the automatic navigation program will choose the most reasonable route, and automatically control the car to go. The reason why you also need to sit in the driver's seat is to facilitate the payment of tolls, but also to avoid scaring or startling other drivers on the road.

Even after 124 years of development, driving a car is still a very dangerous activity, although modern technology provides seat belts, power steering wheels, ABS anti-lock braking, body stability systems and other safety designs, but faster and faster speeds and endless illegal traffic behaviors still make traffic accidents continue. When driving, the driver needs to keep paying attention at all times and not being distracted, otherwise it may lead to a car accident at any time, whether it is a one-handed mobile phone during driving, or chatting with the co-pilot and other people in the car, it is actually a very dangerous thing, the reason why there is no accident is just good enough, not to encounter the worst situation.

Although the relevant parties have been promoting and even prohibiting the behavior of driving and even prohibiting the use of mobile phones, according to relevant foreign research, the use of in-car speakerphones recommended by them does not actually reduce many car accidents. This is because it is difficult for people's thinking habits to maintain a real "multi-threaded" simultaneous driving and phone call operations, most people are distracted when they are actually similar to the time-sharing operation mode of a computer CPU, the focus of thinking is on driving for a few seconds, and then keep the movement of both hands and feet unchanged, the focus of thinking turns to the chat, thinking about what the other party just said what it means, and then switching back in a few seconds, and so on.

It's like a lot of people are used to turning on the car stereo or car radio when driving, but when they actually get into the drive, they don't even remember which song was playing in the stereo. Only when the road conditions are good and the river is smooth will you turn your attention to the stereo, listen to the pleasant songs, or listen to the nagging of the radio DJ.

In order to arrive in Shanghai before the opening of the CJ, Atletico left the school early under the pretext of testing the unmanned system. And they are indeed actively testing this unmanned system along the way.

In fact, the unmanned driving system is not technically difficult, the key is how to make the driverless car well integrated into 1. Among the 600 million human-driven cars, this is not only a technical problem, but also a sociological and even ethical problem, especially the latter social and ethical issues account for an even greater proportion.

It takes thousands of kilometers to drive from Ludao to Huhai, but thanks to the developed toll roads on the eastern coast, the whole journey only takes more than ten hours to reach. Of course, if you let Liu Shumeng, Li Jiaming and other ordinary drivers drive, the whole process may take 20 hours or even longer, because except for Atletico Madrid, a perverted non-human and professional rally driver, it is difficult for the vast majority of drivers to hold on for such a long time, you must know that long-term concentration is very huge for energy and physical consumption. This is also why many drivers like to listen to the stereo while driving, or like taxi drivers around the world, chattering sick and wearing the passenger seat of the guests are all kinds of gods, they do not listen to the radio, chat is not the day, but to use these means to make their mental thieves lazy, so as not to focus on driving for a long time to bring a stronger sense of tiredness.

However, this only replaces "worse problems" with "bad problems", otherwise there would not be so many car accidents caused by fatigue driving.

In Atletico's view, as a high-speed transportation system, cars should also be completely programmed like trains and airplanes, at least in this way, unless encountering bad weather, important people crossing road blockades, manhole covers lost pavement collapse and other emergencies, the automobile traffic system will manage the speed and position of vehicles in the system well, so as to completely stay away from traffic jams, greatly reduce car accidents, improve traffic operation efficiency, reduce personal and social traffic costs, and help to achieve harmonious coexistence of people and vehicles in the transportation field.

On the one hand, they have fully introduced autonomous electric vehicles in the bee garden belonging to their "own yard" to achieve complete autonomous driving of vehicles in a small area, and on the other hand, they have also made an AC traffic simulation software to simulate the data under the conditions of larger traffic flow and road density, and the results have proved that the automatic driving system is usable and reliable, both the actual electric vehicle system in the bee park and the software simulation.

However, subsequent efforts to promote the autonomous driving system have reached an impasse, and there has been no improvement for more than a year. However, they did not give up disappointed, and actively promoted cooperation with a number of related majors of Luda this year, and launched an autonomous driving robot that can really run on the road, that is, the car that is three people P share underground.

In fact, it is normal to think about it, but it is too expensive and difficult to implement this system in reality, and it is basically impossible to achieve it in the short term. Atletico led the project between his own Bee Electronics and his own computer department, in a sense, for the purpose of waste utilization, and used the concept of self-driving robots, which is relatively tall in the scientific community, as the topic of his graduation thesis, which is still very operational value and commemorative significance.

In order to realize the automatic driving of the car, it is necessary to realize the complete separation of people and vehicles, and eliminate the interference of changeable people, and only if the vehicle is driving on the route, the detection, control, and computing modules can be reduced. After all, although the speed is high, the target is obvious and the path is predictable, and those big people who run red lights, climb over guardrails, and escape from the green separation zone are much more difficult to deal with than the cars on the opposite side.

Sometimes two people walking opposite each other will be blocked for a few seconds to give way to the left and right, let alone a dull computer encountering a pedestrian who does not follow the rules?

The best way to solve the problem of separating people and vehicles is to find a way to close and isolate the road where vehicles travel, except through the gate of the station, so that pedestrians cannot enter it, as is the case with the Ludao BRT bus express line. In this way, red light running and traffic jams can be completely avoided, and the operation efficiency of the vehicle can be greatly improved. However, this will inevitably lead to huge infrastructure costs and demolition costs, and it is basically impossible to isolate roads in the city.

If you don't use the separation of people and vehicles, and directly go to the current general human-vehicle mixed transportation system, then the requirements for on-board electronic equipment and related algorithm programs will be increased by more than one grade, such as Atletico Madrid, this car has no major changes in the body, and the inside has already been changed beyond recognition, and the cost of modification alone is enough to buy two new cars back.

What's more, if this automatic transportation system is really realized, it will inevitably cause a huge blow to the national and even global automobile market, and the pros and cons are unpredictable for a certain period of time.

Under the software management, the maximum efficiency of the vehicle can be realized, and the no-load rate and idle rate can be greatly reduced, which will inevitably lead to the reduction of automobile sales. The annual production and sales of automobiles are tens of millions, which is associated with a huge market of trillions of yuan, and the automobile industry sneezes, and the national economy will catch a cold. You must know that the automobile industry accounts for as much as 8% of GDP, coupled with the upstream raw materials, downstream maintenance, car wash and decoration service industry, which claims to be able to drive more than 10% of the national economy, how can the almighty relevant departments bear to see this chicken's fart engine turn off and lie down?

Guo Jia is not even willing to give up the bloody black profits, taxes, and GDP of the tobacco industry, so how can he be willing to bear to take a knife on the automobile industry? The tobacco industry is certainly harmful to health, but after all, the profits are all state-owned enterprises, and they can also promote the production and sales of health care products and drugs, which is one of the important sources of power for the medical industry, and even if Guo Jia gives up the automobile industry one day, he will not necessarily give up the tobacco industry.

Cars are made and sold as a GDP contribution, and the usual fuel maintenance tolls can continue to contribute to GDP, and more cars can also add luster to the image of the city.

Similar to the automatic driving system of the car, in fact, many game companies can do it, automatic driving does not actually need much complex technology, the controller plus the sensor plus the computing core can be, the sensor collects the position and speed information, the computing core and the preset target comparison processing, the controller adjusts the speed, and arrives at the target location, everything is as simple as that. For example, the "automatic pathfinding" system, which has now become the standard configuration of domestic online games, is actually a simple automatic driving system, the player finds a point on the map, or clicks on the name of the place name and item, and the automatic pathfinding system will automatically identify the target location and generate path information, and then drive the game character to automatically run to the target location, and if there is a mount, it will automatically get on the horse.

In fact, at the moment, the car under the three-person P share is equipped with an autonomous driving system, and there is also a corresponding version of the game called "LiveOnwheels". This game is actually modified and supplemented with the original verification model, enhanced 3D graphics, and supports the virtual reality display mode of Dreamwalker, which has been made into the world's first virtual reality driving game.

After the release of the Dreamwalker virtual reality system, in the spirit of preferring lack to abundance, MONOEYE did not release the SDK (software development kit) suitable for the Dreamwalker ∞ mode, but adopted the method of cooperative development and customization, and took the initiative to contact suitable content providers to cooperate with them to jointly develop content suitable for DW. At the same time, in order to make up for the lack of foreign content, the R&D strength of the entire Bee Group has also been tilted to the DW platform, and a number of games, software and film and television works compatible with the ∞ mode have been released, including "Three Realms Race", "Fengshen Battlefield", "Battle of the Forbidden Peak" transplanted from "Daming OL", Bee Browser DW version, Honey Chat face-to-face version, as well as purely original games and software.

In fact, "CarsCity" is not necessarily the world's first virtual reality driving game, after all, the multi-axis movable car simulator similar to the space station Internet café has already appeared abroad, and airlines and air forces have used aircraft driving simulators even earlier. Nowadays, it has become an international practice for pilots to accumulate hundreds of hours of simulator training time before training, compared with creating a movable bridge to use a multi-screen display to simulate the cab vision, and an electro-hydraulic seat to simulate the undulating attitude of the vehicle, so as to achieve car driving simulation, it is not a difficult task for some players who are good at hands-on, let alone for professional peripheral companies. The only thing limiting the popularity of this device is the bulky size of the device itself and its high price.

Although CC is actually not the first VR driving game, but for the purpose of promoting this experimental field, the planners and copywriters still came up with the gimmick of "the world's first XX" to bluff people, and the VR virtual piloting system for training pilots is more focused on simulating the real situation, the reality is good but the playability is not high, just thinking about the dense aviation instruments and buttons in the real cockpit will make the scalp of ordinary players numb.
