Chapter 11: Driverless Cars

"Come in" The window slowly rolled down, and Li Yaqin called Lei Banfei to sit in.

"Wow, what a beautiful car" It's a pure white car, not much different from other cars, but if you look closely, it's really different. The whole car is very streamlined, basically no edges and corners, very rounded, a perfect combination of sedan and sports car. He circled around the car and said, "Are you going to take me back?"

"I still have a lot of things to do, how can I send you back" Li Yaqin walked out of the car and gave him the driving position.

He saw Li Yaqin come out, which meant that he should drive back by himself, and said that although he had taken the driver's license test during the holiday, he had no experience in driving a long-distance car at all, and the road would definitely be very slow. "Then ......, do you want me to drive back, it's going to take a long time" He drove back and it was basically dawn.

"This is a driverless car, no one will send you back, go in" Li Yaqin is very proud, this unmanned car is modified by herself, if others understand this car, they may be impressed by her, a woman in the mechanical engineering department.

Since there is no one to send it, then Ray-Ban can only get in the car, drive slower and drive slower, it is better than not going back, just get home before dawn. "On the highway, are you safe" Ray-Ban Fei has heard of driverless cars for a long time, but this is the first time to sit in it, and his heart is still not steady.

Seeing Ray-Ban Fei enter the driving position, Li Yaqin also sat in the co-pilot's seat, she wanted to tell him what this driverless car was all about, and what the specific operation should be.

"Safety, look at the two buttons here, one is manned driving mode, the other is unmanned driving mode" After speaking, Li Yaqin pressed one of the buttons "Welcome to the Xingyuan automotive unmanned driving system, you have started the human-vehicle rendezvous mode" The car voice system has begun to prompt.

"After pressing this, you just have to enter your destination, and it will plan the best route for you to drive, and then send you to your destination, understand" She demonstrated to Ray-Ban, pointing to the buttons on the screen and explaining them one by one.

Although there are many keys on it, but there are Chinese labels, if you are careful, it is not difficult to understand, he followed Li Yaqin's explanation, and soon understood. "Is it that simple?"

"It's as simple as that, oh yes, if you choose the driverless mode, don't move the other buttons, just follow the voice prompts"

"Understood, as long as there is no very cumbersome operation process" It seems that his comprehension ability is still very good, besides, he also has Rapoo, even if he doesn't understand something, he can still ask it for advice.

Li Yaqin asked Lei Banfei to repeat the operation method and make sure that he had basically mastered it. "You can get a good night's sleep on the road, remember, and then go into driverless mode when you get on the highway." Li Yaqin smiled and told Lei Banfei, to be honest, he had a good impression of this kid. Judging from these few contacts, she felt that he didn't have that kind of flowing air on him, and he was a very clean boy, which made people feel very comfortable. Although he said that his emotional intelligence was low, in her opinion, he just didn't want to hurt others.

After the instructions, the two waved their hands, and Ray-Ban added the car and left Jiangning University.

Out of Jiangning City, there is still a distance of two kilometers from the highway. Suddenly, the car emitted an audio "about to enter Highway 6, whether to enter the unmanned driving mode" There is a positioning system on the car, which can monitor the location of the car at any time, and will remind the owner before entering the highway.

He was concentrating on driving, and suddenly such a sentence came out, and there was no one else in the car, he was indeed a little caught off guard, but this also reflected that the intelligence of this car was indeed quite high, "Rapo, what do you think of this car" But soon he regained his composure

"My main problem is energy, and it is a means of transportation, and there is no comparison between the two" Ray-Ban flies the driverless buttons on the car. "Besides, the six wings are also improved by me, can it be said that the six wings are not as advanced as this car?"

"Of course I know you're mainly solving energy problems, I mean do we need a car like this too"

"I don't think we need a car like that, we already have six wings, and for me, the car is a bit original" It seems that Rapoo is not very interested in this car.

"Also, I can fly, why do I need this 'primitive' means of transportation" After being reminded by Rapoo, he also felt that this car was a little primitive, and the original concept was that it was a little slow in speed.

"After 1.5 kilometers, the car will enter the unmanned driving mode," the unmanned car reminded him again, and soon arrived at the toll station, "100 meters later, enter the high-speed registration station", and the voice system kept reminding him what to do.

"The registration station has passed, please confirm again to enter the unmanned driving mode" A dialog box popped up on the car's LCD display, and after Ray-Ban Fei clicked the OK button, the car sent out another audio "You have decided to enter the unmanned driving mode, please leave the steering wheel with both hands"

"It's still like this, the car makes people take their hands off the steering wheel," he said to himself, but remembering what Li Yaqin said, he had to follow the voice prompts. When he took his hands off the steering wheel, the steering wheel slowly shrank with a dot in the center, and finally became a solid circle of about 10 centimeters, and then slowly embedded in the body. After doing this action, everything on the driver's table of the car is changing. The two air conditioning vents in the middle are slowly closed, and all the knob switches and LCD screens on them are embedded in the body. After embedding, the entire console becomes a flat surface, slowly rotating upwards about 100 degrees, and a large LCD screen rotates up from under the console.

"Wow, this is incredible" Ray-Banfei was surprised to see the familiar console in front of him turn into an LCD screen.

"Please set the distance between the front and rear of the car, and set the speed of the car" Soon, the autopilot system prompted him again, and a 3D graphic of the car was displayed above the LCD screen.

"The distance between the front cars is 10 meters, the distance between the rear vehicles is 5 meters, and the speed is 90 kilometers" Ray-Ban Fei set the driving parameters of the car

"You have entered Highway 6, the whole journey will take about 8 hours, please select the ride mode" After the voice was finished, an interface popped up on the LCD screen, there is a rest mode, natural mode, and entertainment mode. It seems that Li Yaqin was quite thoughtful when designing this car. Maybe this is the difference between things designed by people and things designed by computers, people will consider many factors, such as comfort, safety, and people's emotional changes, but I don't know if Rapoo's improvement of the six wings this time has taken these factors into account.

"It's still a long time, why don't you take a break mode first" The button on his electric touch screen, after about 3 seconds, he felt that the backrest of the car seat was leaning down, and the co-pilot's seat next door was also leaning down, the whole car was changing, and he didn't know what the car would become. Slowly, the two seats in the front row were flattened and connected to the seats in the back. He only now understands the meaning of the rest mode. After entering the unmanned driving, the car can drive on its own, and people can sleep, so there is no fatigue driving on long distances. When the seats are flattened, the entire interior of the car is like a bed, and the color of the windows around the car begins to slowly dim, and the outside lights are no longer visible, as if they are isolated from the world. Although it was pitch black outside the window, the car was lit up with soft lights, and the display was still on, with a movie on it, and he felt like he was lying in bed.

"Now, how do you feel about this car" He leaned on the backrest of the back seat, crossed Erlang's legs, looking comfortable, if he drove like this, let alone 8 hours, it would be no problem for a day and a night.

"Speed is still not as fast as me" It seems that in the world of Rapoo, speed is the key to everything.

"I mean it can sleep on it, don't you think this design is very user-friendly" It seems that Ray-Ban seems to be impressed by the design of this car, speed aside, the design of this car is much more comfortable than the original Rapoo. Of course, both of them have their own strengths, one is to save time, the other is to enjoy time, and the focus is different.

"It's true that the comfort has improved a lot, but I'm exchanging time for space, and the two are not comparable."

"How to say" It was indeed a very pleasant thing for him to talk to Rapoo while watching the movie.

"From Tianzhou to Jiangning, if it is a six-wing, it will only take about half an hour, and you don't need to rest at all. But with this car, you need 7 to 8 hours, so you need to rest" It seems that Rapoo's design is more focused on practicality. Of course, the so-called intelligent creatures, when making these designs, are from the most reasonable point of view, and they do not consider other non-major influencing factors like humans.

Perhaps, this may be a problem that Wang Kailin encountered when designing the positioning of the robot.

"Are you denying this car, I think it's cool" Ever since Ray-Ban flew into this car, I've had a lot of interest in it, and that's probably what every boy does.

"Actually, you just enjoy the process, we are in combination with the six wings and it is of a different nature. It's like you can't compare an office chair to a sofa at home. The sofa is comfortable, but with that chair, there is a later sofa. ”

Rapoo is right, every driver will like such a car, it should not be said that every driver, but every passenger will like it. "You're right, it seems that you've learned to think and know all about sofas and office furniture."

Ray-Ban suddenly sat up again, fiddling with the buttons on the screen with his hand, "Let's stop talking about these topics, let's see what this natural mode is" He is now more and more interested in this amazing car.

Slowly, more and more light spots appeared on the roof of the car, more and more, like the Milky Way, I don't know where a slight cool breeze blows, just like lying under the stars. The window seemed to have the shadow of a tree slipping through it, and if you listened closely, there seemed to be a gentle croaking of frogs or a slight cricket, but if you listened closely, you could not hear anything.

In fact, Li Yaqin installed an environmental simulation system in this car, which will simulate the scene in nature with the change of time. In the early morning there is birdsong accompanied by the morning sun, and at noon there is cicada chirping accompanied by the scorching sun, and of course, the temperature inside is constant. All of this is only possible when autonomous driving is activated, and it will allow people to fully enjoy the ride.

It's like lying outdoors and looking up at the stars as a child. Or the perfect combination of man and nature, such a combination makes people forget their troubles and sorrows, and only retain the purity and simplicity of their hearts.

Of course, lying in nature like this, Ray-Ban Fei didn't know when, and he had fallen asleep deeply.
