"Let's report from the most basic core computing power......

The technical director of the project immediately took out a piece of motherboard hardware and showed it to Luo Sheng and Ding Ping, and said: "This is the chip we have finalized, codenamed 'Shining', which is a system-on-chip designed by our project team for AI scenarios, and this is a development motherboard designed based on this chip." ”

Luo Sheng asked succinctly, "What is the computing performance?" ”

The technical director immediately replied: "The motherboard is equipped with two 'Shining' chips and two independent GPUs, which can provide up to 450 trillion floating-point operations, and it can be said that even the support of L4 and L5 fully automated driving technology is not stressful." ”

In comparison, Nvidia's development board can provide only 3 trillion floating-point operations per second, while Mobileye, the former overlord of automotive chips, specializing in computer vision chips, was acquired by Intel for more than $15 billion, but their EyeQ5 chip can only provide 40 trillion floating-point operations per second.

Compared with the "Shining" of the Côte d'Azur laboratory, it is not at the same level at all, so it is no wonder that the director of the technical department of this project said that it has an absolute technological lead.

After all, I've been studying for 12 years.

Luo Sheng: "What about the test car?" ”

Technical Director: "In the test shop. ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng got up directly and said, "Let's go, go and take a look." ”

The technical director put aside the motherboard chip in his hand and immediately led Luo Sheng and Ding Ping to the test workshop.

Luo Sheng explained while walking: "In terms of fully automatic unmanned driving, it is very important to provide sufficient computing power for the perception and decision-making of artificial intelligence, as the hottest AI application scenario at present, the field of autonomous driving is ushering in an unprecedented period of technological dividends, we have to be prepared, and the tuyere will take off at any time." ”

The accompanying technical director nodded: "Understood." ”

Within a few minutes, Luo Sheng and others came to the test workshop, where twenty engineers and employees were working, the space was very large, and it was relatively messy, and all kinds of tools were placed randomly.

There were also some quilts and pillows on the floor, some empty bottles of happy water, and some lunch boxes still on the side.

Luo Sheng said in a daze: "What kind of plane?" Together, you eat, drink, Lazar and sleep in this workshop? People who don't know think that I am a black-hearted boss who oppresses employees, so that I will not be hafnium. ”

Seeing a young engineer looking over with a tool, with a spray paint face on his face, Luo Sheng shook his head with a smile.

"Boss, don't worry, this is all our own volition, we are all technical nerds, single Wang, and we don't have any other hobbies except for pounding technology...... It's just a little dirty and messy, hehe~~"

Luo Sheng said seriously: "Don't come to this set, I won't give you a salary increase, you will be sent to the door to be prostituted for nothing." ”

"There is no need to increase the salary, it's just ...... Boss, I have a proposal. ”

"What proposal?"

"Can you arrange for us to come over and do some sanitation......

“…… Okay, it's arranged. ”

This is just a small episode, and the developers really like the free atmosphere of the Côte d'Azur Lab, which does not have so many rules, and gives employees as much freedom as possible to choose the way they like to work while maintaining the principle.

The technical director of the project department found an employee and gave a few instructions, and after a while, a prototype car automatically drove in front of Luo Sheng and others.

"Mr. Luo, that's it. A customizable, multi-seater, multi-functional, fully autonomous autonomous electric tram with a multi-purpose combination of hotel, food truck, logistics and mobile hospital. ”

"Its functional design is combined with our autonomous driving level, and it can be operated through the smartphone APP, of course, it can also be authorized to Dabai, and Dabai can be instructed, but the team is still under development, and Dabai hosting is not supported at present."

At this moment, Luo Sheng and others looked at the prototype car parked in front of them, which adopted a very sci-fi design style from the outside, with a white body with a large area of glass, and a van car, which looked like a piece of white bread.

It's a bit of a slightly cute van, but the design is very futuristic, and there is no talk of the front and rear as it is fully electric and driverless.

Luo Sheng entered the car and took a look, and Ding Ping, who followed up, looked at it and couldn't help nodding and said: "Whether it is color matching, or flooring, interior decoration, seats, etc., they are all quite humane." ”

The accompanying technical director smiled: "This concept car should be called 'multi-functional electric chassis with full autonomous driving capability', because the main function of our design is to replace the cabin connected to the chassis, so it was designed as a van structure, in order to be able to change the function of the carriage with different functions." ”

Luo Sheng said: "For example? ”

He didn't know it, because he didn't participate in the design and development of this driverless car, but the key technology is inseparable from Luo Sheng, that is, the application of the most core artificial intelligence technology.

The technical director introduced them one by one:

"For example, if you put it in a shelf compartment, it will be a mobile vending machine; Packed in business class, it's a mobile office space; Load an empty cabin, then this is an unmanned cargo pickup truck, which can play the role of a mobile catering vehicle, a hurry delivery vehicle, and so on......"

"The length of the body can be adjusted from 5 to 8 meters, and the tires can also be arranged in 4 or 8 depending on the situation."

At this moment, the carriage where Luo Sheng is located is a special cabin for travel, with 7 seats, and if you add standing space, you can take 20 people at long.

Luo Sheng sits in the side seat, next to a console panel, which can be used to manually plan the route, voice input, and can also be done through the mobile APP.

"Hmmm......"

Luo Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "Very good design, for most people, their lives are connected by different 'scenes', such as their own apartment, company office, restaurant or convenience store downstairs of the company, a small park or gym near home, a restaurant or shopping mall for weekend gatherings, and a nearby cinema or bar, etc......., etc., etc."

"And the connection of these 'scenes' is often the car, but rather a car, it is a mobile platform, the future of the car, in addition to 'transporting people' and 'transporting goods', perhaps can also 'transport scenes'. Yes, yes, this unmanned car and Dabai have this huge linkage effect. ”

Shipping scenario?

What the big boss said is that there is a forced qualification, worthy of being a technology boss, obviously that's what is going on, and the grade will go up inexplicably if you change a term.

Luo Sheng nodded again and again: "Hmm...... Standardized, customizable, personalized, multi-functional use. Bringing clean, connected, safe, and energy-efficient mobility to consumers and businesses can meet a variety of mobility needs. Yes, very good, remember that the cost of the cabin should be reduced, as low as possible, so that customers can customize more styles of personalized cabins, fully reflecting its competitive advantage. ”

"Imagine when you get in the car and ask you what ride and driving style you like? What kind of sound effects do you need to match? Maybe everyone buys the same car, but they can customize completely different services, resulting in different application scenarios, and they can change the style at any time. ”

"Some are racing fighting style, some are presidential car comfort style, some can be their own shopping basket, some can be their own private kitchen and other scenarios, but all this is based on the accurate grasp and application of customer data, Bluestar Technology has data, can provide support, the future of the car may be rebuilt by this model and a new ecosystem and a new way of life."
