Liu Weiping's impala was driving along Santa Clara West Street towards the suburban hotel, with a Toyota Prius in front of it, with a lidar on its head spinning non-stop, and Liu Weiping was interested at first glance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He knew from some literature that the Americans had already developed driverless cars, and this time he saw it with his own eyes, and he was unwilling to let go of this opportunity to observe it up close. From the rear window, the driver's seat was really empty, Liu Weiping followed the Prius not far away, he admired the degree of commercialization of technology in Silicon Valley from the heart, and the thought of Jufang Technology being reorganized into a real estate company, Liu Weiping felt a pain in his heart.

The front is Montgomery South Street, the rented phone rang, Liu Weiping pressed the speakerphone, it was from the hotel, "I can't hear clearly, please say it again, okay?" "The voice on the phone was muffled.

Before coming out, someone in the college said that the infrastructure of the United States was very poor, and now Liu Weiping believes that the quality of mobile communications in the United States, which is known as the number one power in the Internet, is so poor, and the hotel repeats it again, this time Liu Weiping heard a little more clearly, as if to confirm with him when he will arrive at the hotel.

Liu Weiping looked at the time on the car, and was just about to answer, when he saw the Prius in front of him suddenly accelerate and hit a small car, the car rolled over on its side and was hit by a Buick business car that followed behind, and the car was thrown to the corner of the street, and its feet were not moving. Liu Weiping saw clearly, the car was a Honda Fit, the Buick business car stopped, and one of the two people took out the phone to call, and the other dragged out a woman from the Fit, who seemed to be injured not lightly, while the Prius continued to drive forward, and several cars caught up behind, and someone stopped and kept shooting with the camera.

Liu Weiping didn't stop, he drove forward, when he passed the business car, he glanced at the woman's face strangely, very familiar, he didn't react, and drove forward.

After a while, he made another U-turn and accelerated back, like Lin Shuangmian, that face really looked like Lin Shuangmian. Liu Weiping drove back, the police car and ambulance had arrived, he pulled over and ran over, Lin Shuangmian was lifting the ambulance, he pounced on it, carefully looked at the face on the stretcher, yes, it was Lin Shuangmian, although wrinkles climbed up the corners of his eyes, but a black hemorrhoid under the left eyebrow was so obvious, Liu Weiping would not forget it if he died.

"Sir, what's the matter with you?" The police stopped him, "I'm her friend, her name is Lin Shuangmian, where are you going to send her?" The police officer glanced at him, "San Jose Central Hospital, I hope it can be saved." ”

Liu Weiping didn't care about going to the hotel, he chased all the way to San Jose Central Hospital, and Lin Shuangmian had already entered the emergency room. A policeman stood at the door, and the local media heard the news and sent reporters to surround them, blocking the door, "May I ask if the person concerned is in danger of life now?" "What are you going to do with the vehicle that caused the accident, I heard that it was a driverless car of a large local company, is there a legal precedent for this?" "I want to ask where is this driverless car now? Is it legally licensed to drive in urban areas? Liu Weiping also squeezed in to inquire about Lin Shuangmian's situation, but the police ignored them and looked like they had no comment.

Liu Weiping didn't hear anything, so he had to go back to the hotel, and the local channel began to broadcast live overwhelmingly, this accident can poke a hornet's nest, and the host also invited two experts to conduct a live debate, the content of the debate changed from how to deal with traffic accidents to whether to develop artificial intelligence.

In the middle, there was also an interview with the driverless car Sebasdan, facing the camera, Sebastian apologized to Lin Shuangmian, he said that the driverless car was not faulty, the control system was normal, and the log records showed that at the moment of the accident, the driverless car wrongly judged its own location, and seemed to have a fault in processing GPS signals, so as to accelerate forward to correct its position, which led to the accident.

The whole night of the show revolved around a car accident, endlessly, and at the end there was no conclusion. The next day, Liu Weiping put down his itinerary and went to San Jose Central Hospital again, Lin Shuangmian had already come out of the emergency room, Liu Weiping heard that she was out of danger of life, entered the inpatient ward, was in isolation, and did not accept visits from outsiders.

Liu Weiping was a little relieved, and just as he was talking to the doctor, an old man in a wheelchair greeted him, "Hello, I'm Clifford, are you a friend of Miss Lin?" ”

Liu Weiping sounded very strange, he turned to look, the old man's wheelchair still had a computer, the sound seemed to come from the speaker, Clifford looked at him strange, so he pointed to his ear, "My ears have not worked for decades, I can't hear my own speech, my language has to be readjusted by the computer." ”

"Oh, I see, my name is Liu Weiping, it's Lin Shuangmian..."Liu Weiping paused, he didn't know how to introduce his relationship with Lin Shuangmian to the person in front of him, "It's a very good friend of Lin Shuangmian who used to study in Tokyo, and I am now working in China Jufang Technology." ”

"It's a pity, I didn't expect Miss Lin to become the first car accident case in the field of driverless cars, you Jufang Technology I know, it is the company that developed voice control, Miss Lin also mentioned your learning algorithm to me, you are a genius, you should go to Silicon Valley to develop!"

In this way, Liu Weiping met Clifford, and they stayed in San Jose and waited for a week, this week, while Clifford was handling the business of Silicon Valley Company, and Liu Weiping came to the hospital to visit Lin Shuangmian, who was in a coma at first, and then told that he had woken up and regained consciousness, but he was never allowed to visit.

Liu Weiping and Clifford are also familiar with each other, Clifford knows the real relationship between Liu Weiping and Lin Shuangmian, and he doesn't see Liu Weiping anymore, Clifford even promised that the mainland operation of "Star Wars" in the future can be handed over to Liu Weiping, it seems that he doesn't know that Jufang Technology has been reorganized.

Liu Weiping's mind is not on making money, he has a lot of things to say to Lin Shuangmian, and finally allowed to visit, Liu Weiping and Clifford entered Lin Shuangmian's ward, Lin Shuangmian recognized Liu Weiping at a glance, the two looked at each other, couldn't say anything, and couldn't imagine that the reunion of more than 20 years was carried out in such a scene.

Clifford couldn't wait, he said to Lin Shuangmian, "Miss Lin, it's best if you wake up, I had something urgent to tell you, I read the news in California, and I learned that you were hospitalized, so I came to visit you." On the day of your car accident, it may have been a huge electromagnetic storm in the sun, which caused a surge in the Arecivo telescope, countless data entered the seti@home's server, the memory buffer overflowed, the system crashed, and all the computing data was lost. ”

Clifford ignored Lin Shuangmian's recovery and told all the seti@home accidents, "Isn't there a backup?" Lin Shuangmian on the hospital bed was quite calm.

"The backup system was automatically restored, but the messy data uploaded by countless terminals around the world disrupted the backup system, and our previous data was completely lost, including the original pulse signal." Clifford's face looked very ugly, Lin Shuangmian closed his eyes in pain, and Liu Weiping stood aside and didn't know what they were talking about.

Liu Weiping stayed for a whole month, accompanied Lin Shuangmian to live in Clifford's villa on the outskirts of San Jose, and talked a lot about the experience after the separation, but they were careful to avoid it, both of them knew that it was impossible to go back to the past, and this month was just a short intersection on the road of life.

Liu Weiping's vacation is over, Lin Shuangmian sent him to board the plane and return to China, he came to Sebasdan's laboratory by appointment, under the strong public relations of Sebastian's public relations department, the news and public opinion temporarily calmed down, Sebastian wanted to have an in-depth communication with Lin Shuangmian to obtain Lin Shuangmian's understanding, if Lin Shuangmian chased after him, this incident was used by politicians with ulterior motives, Sebasdan's project did not want to go on.

"Miss Lin, I sincerely apologize to you again, in order to let you understand the principle of driverless cars, I invite you to visit my laboratory, I will show you how we work, this accident was an accident, it really wasn't intentional on our part." Sebastian took Lin Shuangmian into the laboratory and explained to her.

"Your only fault is that you used the real road conditions in the city as a laboratory." Lin Shuangmian said coldly.

Sebastian touched a soft nail a little embarrassed, he quickly diverted the topic, and took Lin Shuangmian to the front of a Prius, "This is the model that had a car accident, it uses GPS automatic navigation, equipped with radar and cameras to automatically match the surrounding environment, if it weren't for the interference of the GPS signal of the magnetic explosion of the sun on the same day, the car accident would never have happened." ”

"You should expect this unlikely event." Lin Shuangmian didn't seem to want to forgive Sebastian, and Sebastian led her forward again, and a Prius with half of its head knocked off was parked on the ground.

"This is the perpetrator, I'll show you the on-board video recording, the system is all right." Sebastian waved his hand, a young man held a computer and connected to the data interface under the Prius cockpit, the computer screen showed the background driving monitoring log, Lin Shuangmian read it quietly, "Can I copy this log?" Sebastian shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment, "I'm afraid not, this is our trade secret." ”

"Then I think the court will give me a verdict." Lin Shuangmian said softly, Sebastian hesitated for a while, and said to the young man on the side, "Then make a copy of it for her." ”

Lin Shuangmian took the log file back to Clifford's residence and opened it for Clifford to see, "Why is this waveform so similar to Assanzi's?" Is it yours? Clifford was still annoyed by the loss of Aresivo's data, and officials from the Defense Advanced Planning and Research Agency and the CIA approached him again and gave him clear notice that the seti@home would be closed.

Seeing the pulse wave of Lin Shuangmian's log file, Clifford rekindled hope. "I don't know very well, although I recovered, my body has not felt good, I have a hunch that my time is running out and I will see Assanzi soon. Mr. Clifford, whether this pulse wave is Assanzi's or mine, I would like to ask you to unlock its secrets. ”

"But seti@home's going to shut down, I'll find good computing resources too." Clifford sighed, "No, Mr. Clifford, I just need you to modify Liu Weiping's program, and I will find the computing resources." Clifford looked at Lin Shuangmian suspiciously, and all he saw on Lin Shuangmian's face was firmness.

Soon Clifford put the pulse signal in the driverless car log into Liu Weiping's program, and Lin Shuangmian took it to meet Sebastian again, "Miss Lin, I want to tell you a good news, in addition to insurance, we have also won you a huge amount of cash compensation from the company, as long as you promise to give up the right to sue forever, these are all yours." As soon as Sebastian met, he took out the documents he had prepared.

"No, I don't care about your compensation, I only have one request, if you upload this program to the GPS system, I will give up all requests and ban forever." Lin Shuangmian took out Clifford's revised program file.

Sebastian refused without looking at it, "We don't have that capability, the GPS is under the management of the US military, and we are just a commercial company." ”

"Yes, your logbook shows that the GPS navigation accuracy used by driverless cars is only one meter, and this kind of service is not available to a company that has nothing to do with the military, right?" Sebastian was speechless when Lin Shuangmian struck him back.

After a while, he took the disc from Lin Shuangmian's hand, opened it on the computer and carefully browsed it, "Miss Lin, you can do it according to the conditions you proposed, but you need to sign a letter of commitment." "I want to see the program run successfully!" Lin Shuangmian didn't back down, she didn't realize that she had changed from a gentle girl to a strong old woman for the sake of Assanzi.

About a month after Liu Weiping returned to Shanghai Jiaotong University, Clifford's phone called, "Mr. Liu, to tell you the unfortunate news, Miss Lin Shuangmian passed away, and the doctor said that the brain nerve suppressed the respiratory system. ”

"Didn't you recover well when you left?" Liu Weiping was sad for a while, the faces of Lin Shuangmian in 1989 and Lin Shuangmian a month ago kept flashing back and forth, and he couldn't hear what was said behind Clifford's strange machine language, "Finally relieved." Liu Weiping muttered to himself.

"Mr. Liu, what are you talking about?" Clifford couldn't understand Liu Weiping's Chinese clearly, and asked again, and Liu Weiping realized that he was still holding the microphone in his hand, "Oh, it's nothing, Mr. Clifford, what did you just say?" "I'm saying when can we sign a Star Wars agency agreement?" Clifford asked heavily.
