Chapter 673: Taillights that Model-X can't see

Sam, who had just received a letter from Harvard University, received the most valuable gift of his life - a brand new Tesla Model-X.

"Grandpa, I love you to death."

Sam hugged his grandfather hard, grabbed the car keys and rushed into the all-electric coupe he had been dreaming of for a long time.

Starting the car, Sam was a little excited and chose to ignore it for the time being, when he heard Siri's electronic female voice prompting the voice recognition authentication process in the car.

"Now is not the time to do that."

Sam screamed, opened the window and waved to his smiling grandfather, who was standing outside, and stepped on the gas.

This is a small town near Boston, USA, and outside the American-style single-family house, there is a very wide road.

The Tesla Model-X parked at the door of the villa, after starting, rushed out in an instant like a wild horse at the moment Sam stepped on the accelerator, or the electric pedal was more appropriate.

The Model-X, which only takes 2.5 seconds to accelerate to 100 km/h, makes Sam really feel a strong feeling of pushing back, and he even feels a little breathless, which is a side effect of strong inertia.

But in less than 2.5 seconds, the Model-X did not really reach a speed of 100 yards, and suddenly began to slow down, which made Sam, who was almost lying on the seat because of the strong push back feeling, almost knocked on the steering wheel.

This change did not make Sam angry, and then suspected that there was some quality problem with this Tesla Model-X, and he didn't even have any surprises.

"This is Tesla's 'auto-avoidance' feature?"

Sam's face was full of surprise, outside the villa where he and his grandfather lived, although the road was very wide, but because of its location close to the corner, the location where the Tesla Model-X was parked just now was only 50 meters away from the corner along the direction it was driving just now.

At full speed, the distance of 50 meters is a matter of a moment.

The speed that had just been lifted slowed down suddenly, but it was not abrupt, or it was simply that this Model-X did not 'effectively' execute the 'command' that Sam stepped on with his feet, and it did not even think about accelerating itself to 100 yards in 2.5 seconds.

"A 30-yard turn?"

Sam saw the lift display projected on the front windshield, which showed that the speed of the Tesla Model-X was only 30 yards at this time, and as long as he didn't change the direction of driving, no matter how much he stepped on the 'electric door', the speed of the Model-X could not be raised.

"That's Tesla's limit on cornering speed?"

After turning a corner, there was an unobstructed avenue ahead, and at this point in time, not many people in the town were running around on this avenue.

Sam stepped on the electric door again, this time not with all his might, but as if he were driving normally.

Even so, the powerful Model-X has increased its speed in a very short time. Sam's attention has been on the display function, which not only shows the speed of the Model-X, but also shows the road information composed of simple lines.

β€œsiri。”

Sam called out, and after hearing the response prompt 'ding', he said, "Help me connect my iPhone and open the video for Will." ”

An electronic female voice sounded: "Please pull over and park in the parking area 78 meters in front of you, and then go through the sound authentication process, connect to the authentication process of your iPhone." ”

Sam had no choice but to obediently stop the car and start the voice authentication and iPhone authentication process.

This process is not long, a lot of identity information Sam already has on his iPhone, and after 1 minute, Sam has completed all the authentication process.

Setting off again, Sam said as he drove, "Buddy, is that you?" ”

The previous electronic female voice disappeared and became an electronic boy, and replied, "It's me, is there anything that can help you?" ”

After connecting to a specific iPhone, Tesla's human-computer interaction system, known as Siri, will match its own identity information to the user's settings for their iPhone.

On Sam's iPhone, the setup for Siri's human-computer interaction system is Buddy, a male, which is the name of a dog he had before.

This function, which is only available to Apple in this world, is a feature developed by Wenming, and the purpose is naturally to make Siri grow faster.

"Of course."

Sam said, "Buddy, help me make a video call for Will, I'm going to tell him good news." ”

Buddy's electronic voice didn't show any change in emotion, and said, "I'm sorry, you can't use the video call feature while you're driving a car, if you want to continue to contact Will, I can call Will for you." ”

Sam is a little helpless, Apple and Tesla's products are very good, in addition to beautiful appearance and powerful performance, the sense of technology is even more full. But one bad thing is that both the iPhone and the Model-X have great limitations in many use cases.

For example, now, you can't go through the voice authentication process or make video calls while driving......

Perhaps, this is the reason why my grandfather is willing to buy this car for himself.

Although Sam is helpless, his love for Model-X and iPhone is like his love for the inventor of these two products, superhero Wen Ming.

Yes, he doesn't like to call Wen Ming a savior, he likes the word superhero.

"Call Will for me."

After a short prompt, the communication connection was successful, and Will's voice rang out: "Sam, why haven't you come yet, we're going late." ”

Sam couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm about to get to your door, are you there?" ”

Will replied, "I'm already standing in the doorway, and I'm telling you, if you don't show up in front of me in one minute......"

Sam interrupted Will and asked, "Do you have a chair next to you?" ”

Will felt a little baffled, and heard Sam continue, "If you don't have a chair, you can sit on the floor now, and trust me, sit down." ”

Will certainly couldn't sit down on the ground obediently, and then he saw a brand new Tesla Model-X appear from the corner of the street and drive straight in front of him.

"Ou! Buy! Awkward! ”

Seeing Sam in the driver's seat, Will behaved as if he had seen an alien.

For people of their age, the Tesla Model-X is definitely the coolest luxury, and the first two years of a supercar similar to a Lamborghini, or a Ferrari, would allow them to perform this way.

But now......

"If you're willing to let me go to the meeting, then I'll introduce my sister to you."

Will and Sam started to ink, but Sam had just started, so how could he be willing to let it?

The time for the party was getting closer and closer, and the two continued to ink as they walked.

"Your grandfather is so good to you."

"Of course, I only have my grandfather, and my grandfather only has me."

"No, no, no, you'll have a wife in the future."

"I already have a wife, this Model-X."

"So I'm in your wife's body right now?"

"Now, get out of the car."

……

In a hurry, the Model-X had left the town and entered a main road.

Will said very hotly: "Buddy, give us a piece of music, how can there be no BGM for the appearance of Model-X?" ”

Unfortunately, nothing happened.

Sam laughed, "Buddy, carry out Will's last order." ”

In the next second, loud music sounded in the car.

With BGM, this Tesla Model-X driven by Sam got faster and faster, and soon reached 150 yards.

The speeding alert sounded in the BGM, but Sam didn't care, and the Model-X didn't force it to slow down, because it didn't detect the presence of a vehicle in front of it, and there was no corner.

If there are too many restrictions, no one will sell the Model-X, no matter how good it is.

Will was afraid to shake along with the festival, and said, "From this day forward, there is no faster car in our whole town than your car." ”

Sam was about to nod his head when he heard a strong slowdown, and then, noticing a yellow figure flashing outside the window.

In the blink of an eye, he couldn't even see the taillights.

"What the hell?"

Will also noticed the yellow figure, his eyes were better than Sam's, and he wasn't driving, so he thought he might have noticed information about the car.

"That's ...... A Chevrolet's ...... Camaro? ”

When he said this, Will himself did not have the slightest confidence, because how could the Chevrolet Camaro outrun Tesla's Model-X?

Sam gritted his teeth and slammed on the 'electric gate' and chased after him.

"If it's Camaro, I'll drive you for a week."

When this bet was made, Sam didn't believe he would lose, so how could Camaro make the Model-X unable to see the taillights?
