Link paused for a moment, waiting for the audience to digest the idea of the system.

Then he continued: "Strus went through many live simulations. The results show that this system can make accurate judgments and respond to emergencies within 0.1 second. At today's cost, two computers would need to be installed on a truck, and the cost would be around $15,000. This is only quite a life-long driver to pick up a few months of labor costs. ”

"Of course, there are still some problems in this system, such as the logistics and maintenance of smart trucks. Problems such as the high production cost of trucks. But it's time for humanity to enter the third logistics revolution. We humans have the ability to reduce the cost of making and maintaining this system to a lower cost than current land transportation, and to make it more efficient. ”

What he said is to use the global positioning system, which can guide the route to the intelligent transportation platform through the mobile network, and solve various problems encountered by the intelligent transportation platform on the line.

To achieve this, it is necessary to reduce the number of problems that need to be solved by manpower. For example, tires, such as the need to reduce parts inspection during long-distance driving of trucks, etc., and the control and conversion of entry and exit of various countries.

But those are all solvable.

First of all, we will reduce the number of interconnected parts of the car and improve the parts that may have problems during long-distance driving. For example, the use of solid tires, such as improving road conditions, etc. Another example is to set up maintenance stations for passing vehicles along the way.

That would require a change in the industry though. But if there is such a system, it is undoubtedly very beneficial to the world's logistics industry.

Driverless vehicles can operate around the clock, and there is no need to worry about driver fatigue. Especially in some places with harsh environments. If the labor cost of the driver is reduced, the production cost of the vehicle can be appropriately increased, and the transportation platform that can cope with extreme weather can be produced without worrying about the impact of heavy snowfall and heavy rain and impassability.

On top of that, Link also mentioned the application of this intelligence to port handling. In international logistics, the efficiency of loading and unloading at the port determines the cost of sea freight.

"If such an intelligent system were widespread, it would put most long-haul truck drivers out of work," he concluded. However, some drivers can be accommodated at the maintenance stations along the way. The transportation between the unmanned transport terminal and the cargo customer can also solve part of the driver's employment. In this way, the impact of such systems on society can be reduced to a certain extent. ”

At first, the audience didn't think what he was saying was new. After all, the concept of unmanned driving has been put forward for a long time. It's just that they listened and listened and heard the business opportunities.

The unmanned transportation mentioned earlier is mainly unmanned or short-distance flights within cities that are easier to control.

Because all of today's driverless intelligence requires pre-laid sensors, transport vehicles need to operate on a fixed line. And there is still a big lack of self-dealing skills. For those unmanned vehicles, there should be dedicated roads. It's very expensive to build a line like that.

And if the intelligent system proposed by Link can really be realized, the cost of building such a transportation network is completely affordable.

Most of the world now has mobile network signals. Global positioning is not a problem at all. Such a transportation platform can use various sensing devices to allow the car to drive on the ordinary highway as if it were manned.

In some regions today, cars are slower and carry much smaller volumes than trains, but they are far more flexible than trains in terms of ease of transportation. Think about it, how much efficiency can be improved by being able to run the transportation system 24 hours a day?

According to Link's proposal, using the port as a terminal to radiate to other inland cities, or setting up a terminal in a regional center city, can speed up the exchange between different industrial regions. That will speed up logistics between countries or within countries.

Those are the things that need to be considered by businesses that rely on logistics systems. Others, on the other hand, focus on the intelligence he mentions.

The Strus system is not capable of learning though. But in highly targeted industries, such systems seem to be stronger than those with potential.

Human beings have been driving cars for more than 100 years, and the traffic rules for cars have long been perfected. Under this premise, human drivers have enough experience in how to deal with unexpected situations encountered on the road. As long as you store the possible situations and how to deal with them on your computer, the system automatically selects the most ideal combination of solutions. That's probably a little safer than manned driving.

In particular, drivers also have the hidden danger of fatigue driving, and they are slow to respond to emergencies, while the intelligent program will not be fatigued because of long-term driving.

Regardless of whether Link's proposal is practical or not, he may be the first to propose a detailed plan for long-range unmanned vehicles on land. That alone can be appreciated by the people in the audience.

The development of technology is usually based on hypotheses and finally refinement to practical use. And the plan mentioned by Link seems to have a certain practicality.

Many people have questions on their minds, but this is not the best time to ask questions. Link finished speaking, turned and walked backstage.

Judging from the applause behind him, his speech was quite successful.

He has already begun to plan to build an unmanned transportation system, and he may succeed, but it is not something he can play alone.

And the risks caused by the sale of citrus mobile phones in China made him decide to announce the concept to the world in advance.

If the world agrees with this concept and works together to popularize this system, it will be easier for him to build his own unmanned transportation network. As long as the United States is not indifferent, even if everyone is waiting. If he takes the initiative to be that guinea pig, some industries in the United States will still support it. For example, the support of mobile communication networks, and the adjustment of traffic regulations that need to be made.

He presented his ideas on this occasion, not in the United States. In order to hold the core of this system tightly in their own hands. The rest of the United States wants to snatch it, and they don't dare to be too shameless. If the United States is not willing to do so, he can also do so in other countries and regions. That would put some pressure on the United States.

Of course, Link may have to face protests from transport truck drivers around the world.

When Link returned to his seat, the seat on the left was a different person.

This person is the IT giant nicknamed the helmsman horse by young Chinese.

The term helmsman horse is derived from the "chopping horse".

In the early years, Singles' Day was known as the Chopping Hands Festival in China. And the helmsman of the horse Alibaba, is an important promoter of this festival, and it is also the biggest vested interest. As a result, this eye-catching Mr. Ma was nicknamed "Chopping Horse" by young Chinese people at that time. However, after all, there are a few rich people in China, and the nickname is a bit unpleasant, and later it evolved into "helmsman horse".

Penguin Horse, who is also one of China's richest people, is also an IT giant. The two are known as Double Horse in China.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!" the helmsman stood up and held out his hand to him. "Your speech was wonderful. I thought about building a driverless logistics network more than a decade ago. So I'm very interested in what you just said. I don't know if you have time, let's talk about it together?"

"Hello, Mr. Ma, your speech just now is also very good. The combination of network and sales makes the product closer to the user, allows the user's choice to expand infinitely, and saves the intermediate cost of delivering the product to the user to the greatest extent. Everyone must admit that this is the inevitable direction of future social development. ”

Link also has an understanding of this helmsman horse. The main industry of the helmsman horse is online sales.

But his online sales platform is also the foundation of his Alipay settlement platform. Online sales, on the other hand, require faster and lower cost logistics.

His payment platform is not a bank, but it is better than a bank.

Alipay is now a payment platform that is not only used for sales and settlement at outlets. It also has some of the functions of a bank. Funds saving, capital flow, these are originally the business of banks. But it has that kind of business. This "bank" may be the one with the largest number of customers in the world.

The helmsman Ma was sitting in the first row just now, and now he has changed seats with the people around Link before, thinking that he is specially looking for Link.

There were still people on the stage who were speaking, and after the two sat down, although their eyes were looking at the stage and maintaining the necessary etiquette, they were whispering in private.

"Mr. Lin, I also use your Strus phone. That's a really good phone. The intelligence reacts very quickly. But the system you're talking about for transporters is also a system that was born out of Strus's phone?"

"Of course not. That's a little more advanced. It's just based on the same development philosophy. Link leaned his head over a bit and whispered. "The advantage of the Strus system is that it can react much faster than other intelligent systems on the same computing platform. And the cost won't increase much. ”

"From the selling price of Strus mobile phones, it can be seen that the cost of the Strus system is not high. ”

The helmsman Ma smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, if you have time, we can find a time in the evening to discuss it in detail." ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the organizing committee has prepared a welcome reception. ”

"That's just right. We can also talk about red wine. Your Blue Lagoon wine is world-renowned, and I've heard that you yourself have made a very good red wine, but you don't sell it to the outside world. I don't know if I have the pleasure of tasting it. ”

"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Ma to hear about it too. That's just what I tried to brew. The word 'outstanding' is an overblow. If Mr. Ma doesn't dislike it, I will send two boxes to Mr. Ma when I return to the United States. ”

When Link said that, he agreed to find a time to talk about it in the evening.

"No, of course not!" said the helmsman with a smile. "It is my honor to be able to drink the wine made by the richest Chinese in the world!"
