Chapter 767 [Big White Who Can Deliver Takeaways]
Being able to be praised and recognized by Luo Sheng made the engineers present very excited, even if it was the same evaluation but from different people, the weight was completely different.
After staying in the test workshop for a while, Luo Sheng and others also left the place, and the latter asked Ding Ping, who was accompanying him: "Who are the current partners in the field of autonomous driving?" β
Ding Ping replied: "There are more than 300 large and small, among them, we have reached in-depth cooperation with ZF, the world's top auto parts supplier, and also discuss cooperation between Aurora and Uber. β
Luo Sheng nodded and said: "Led by Azure pure electric vehicles, the technology of the 'Shining' project is integrated into a variety of commercial scenarios, but the main layout focuses on domestic, there are too many uncertainties and instability factors in the future of the international environment, the systemic risk of cross-border trade is magnified, and excessive investment may lead to the company's loss." β
Luo Sheng is not the only one who is worried about this kind of problem, any multinational trading company wants to have a stable business environment, but this kind of thing is often wishful thinking.
Let's talk about the international market of this big white robot, although this time it successfully raised 1 trillion euros and the contract was signed.
But can it really be shipped on a large scale?
Luo Sheng himself is not absolutely sure of this, but it doesn't matter to the Cote d'Azur, anyway, it is the money of overseas capital, and the big deal is that this incident has not happened, and he will not have too many losses anyway.
Overseas financing channels are intended to prevent this uncertain international trade environment.
Ding Ping briefly reported: "In China, we have begun to negotiate with some potential partners, and we intend to cooperate with domestic timeshare car service providers to prepare for the launch of fully automatic frame sharing cars equipped with the 'Shining' system at the end of this year, so as to take the first step towards the commercial application of the system." β
Luo Sheng said: "Well, the technology has been made out for you, and you can start the specific commercial application." β
"Understood."
The two chatted and left the Cote d'Azur laboratory, and Luo Sheng accompanied Ding Ping to the Azure Pure Electric Vehicle Company and came to his office.
"Regarding the commercial application solution, we have formulated it internally three months ago, and we plan to provide a batch of SUV-level autonomous driving test teams equipped with 'Shining' core computing equipment, and in the future, we will launch new cooperation with Didi Company on autonomous driving taxi services, Mr. Luo, you will take a look."
After Ding Ping finished speaking, he handed the plan to the other party and poured two glasses of water by himself.
Luo Sheng opened the list, Ding Ping came over and sat down on the sofa opposite, adding: "Fully automatic unmanned driving is a new subversive technology after all, and solving the trust problem of customers whether they dare to ride is the first priority." β
"Indeed." Luo Sheng nodded and agreed: "The biggest problem is the sense of security and trust, the technical problem is solved, this is the biggest obstacle to commercial application, as long as this problem is solved, it will usher in vigorous development." β
Ding Ping continued: "So, our plan is to start with another industry. β
Luo Sheng looked at the solution on the plan and saw it, and was surprised: "Takeaway industry? β
Ding Ping nodded and said: "Yes, Yunren, people are worried about insecurity, but there will be no such problems in boxed lunches." β
Luo Sheng: "How to implement it?" β
Ding Ping: "We plan to cooperate with Meituan or Ele.me to demarcate a number of pilot communities in the city, first produce and manufacture 100 multi-functional unmanned vehicles on a small scale, and equip them with Dabai robots to linkage, and do about three months of observation and research to further determine the follow-up plan." β
Hearing such a plan, Luo Sheng's eyes couldn't help but light up.
You know, now Dabai robot is a hot artificial intelligence home product, if this pilot is successful, it means that the families who have purchased Dabai robot are potential multi-functional unmanned vehicle consumer groups.
Because Dabai can also play the role of a driver, there are too many things that Dabai can do, and home travel service is one of the necessary skills, otherwise he will not be an excellent intelligent housekeeper.
Luo Sheng directly clapped the decision: "Okay, it's decided, this pilot will be tested as soon as possible, Meituan Eleme has my investment, Bluestar Technology is its largest shareholder, they have long wanted to replace the rider with Dabai, but they were pressed by me, I believe they will be willing to actively promote this pilot, and there is no big problem with accessing these two takeaway apps." β
Ding Ping said: "But the Shining system does not support access to Dabai, and it is still under development, so we have to wait for a while......"
Luo Sheng smiled: "I understand what you mean, I will personally take them with me, and I will update you in three days." β
Hearing this, Ding Ping suddenly smiled and said, "I'm relieved to have your words." β
β¦β¦
In the following days, the Azure pure electric vehicle manufacturing department got the technology of the Azure Coast Laboratory and began to work overtime to quickly manufacture 100 multi-functional unmanned pure electric vehicles as pilots regardless of the cost.
And Luo Sheng also personally joined the developer sequence to update and upgrade the "Shining" system, and the system upgrade was completed within three days, which was originally his strength in the field of programming and artificial intelligence.
Ding Ping also contacted the heads of two domestic takeaway companies to discuss the pilot cooperation, which was also very smooth.
As Luo Sheng said, since the big white fire, whether it is a takeaway company or a courier company, they all want to let the rental Dabai replace the current courier or takeaway rider.
Leasing services are not open to enterprise-level customers, except for a one-time direct purchase, which is not explicitly rejected, but is also equivalent to an indirect rejection.
One price, a big white 600,000 yuan, a gap of millions of delivery people, even if you sell these takeaway companies and express delivery companies, you can't afford it.
If you buy a small amount and don't use it, it is equivalent to refusing.
Although this cooperation is only a pilot test, it is a very clear trend orientation after all, and Luo Sheng is his own major shareholder, and he is happy to see it happen immediately.

In July, the first batch of 32 fully automatic driverless multi-functional electric vehicles passed the safety test, and the blue pure electric vehicle also obtained the special license for testing by the local government, and the vehicle can be legally put on the road.
At the same time, 32 big white robots were also delivered on the Cote d'Azur, but the yellow skin became the blue tone of the Ele.me delivery man, and he also wore a hat, which inexplicably hit the cute point.
The customized style of the compartment of the multi-functional unmanned vehicle is a food delivery car, and the compartment is equipped with glass in a large area, and it is also a blue style small blue car of Ele.me takeaway, which is full of cuteness and has no lack of science fiction elements.
The first batch of unmanned vehicles tested is a small blue car of the Ele.me series, and the second batch of vehicles that are being rushed is a small yellow car of the Meituan series.
On July 4th, the first batch of test unmanned vehicles were put into pilot operation, and the 32 big whites in the early morning, it should be said that "Fat Blue" each boarded their own small blue car and drove out from the Azure Pure Electric Vehicle Company, and then started the first business work on the first day.
β¦β¦
Code 0328 "Fat Blue" took a takeaway order, and then transmitted the address of the pick-up restaurant to the "Shining" system of the unmanned car, and the unmanned car quickly drove to the pick-up restaurant according to the address.
After driving for about ten minutes to arrive at the destination, "Fat Blue" got out of the small blue car, accurately located the store and entered the hotel.
"Boss, the delivery man No. 0328 came to pick up the food, and the order number is ......"
After Fat Blue entered the hotel, he found the owner of the store and expressed his intention, and the owner of the store and some customers were stunned for a moment.
This big white outfit is working as a delivery boy?
"This is your soup dumpling takeaway ......" After the proprietress came back to her senses, she handed over a freshly baked takeaway control order number to the big white robot wearing an Ele.me costume.
A young Ele.me delivery man who was waiting to pick up food in this restaurant was stupid when he saw this scene, and subconsciously said, "Nani......?" β
At that moment, the delivery boy suddenly felt that he was going to lose his job soon.
And the people in the store all looked at this big white in surprise and left the restaurant with his little joyful steps.
