Chapter 1501 Experiments that attract much attention

"I said Brother Bai, has your smart car project been successfully developed?"

When the video and news of successfully stopping the car to avoid an accident spread online, Bai Ningyuan was also quite lively. Almost an afternoon, his phone was about to be blown up.

Most of them are related personnel from car companies, especially some of them who are close friends with Bai Ningyuan, such as Li Shufu on the other end of the phone at this time.

Li Shufu, who is also one of the largest private car companies in China, is not unfamiliar with Bai Ningyuan's smart car plan. After all, when Bai Ningyuan launched this plan, it shocked many people.

Although autonomous driving technology sounds cool, the public always has various concerns about how much it accepts. After all, if you leave your safety to a machine to control it, you will always have various concerns in your heart.

In addition, the amount of money invested in researching autonomous driving technology is not a small part. Haven’t you seen that there are so many institutions and teams abroad, and after so many years of research and development, has always been in the laboratory stage? I have never heard of any country applying this technology to reality.

From this point of view, studying this driverless technology sounds cool, but it is not cost-effective.

Gilli used to acquire Volvo, but consumed a lot of money, and now it has been linked with a lot of foreign debts that have not been repaid. In addition, Volvo's subsequent R&D and related improvements of Gilli's new models have to be used everywhere, and every penny has to be spent on the edge, so they are simply unable to consider these things.

However, Li Shufu still admired Bai Ningyuan's boldness.

Although there are institutions in China that are studying, they are more scientific and based on commercial development, and are only one of the EMPs.

After this project caused a shock in the industry, there was no news soon, and everyone gradually forgot about it. Unexpectedly, EMP's project was successful more than three years later.

Although I don’t know the specific performance, the emergency response at that critical moment is enough to prove its performance reliability. At least in the eyes of many professionals, if human reaction speed and vehicle control are at the speed, this accident is almost difficult to avoid. Moreover, due to instinctive reaction, human drivers will subconsciously turn the steering wheel. Not only will they not be able to save the child, but they may also cause overturning accidents or hit vehicles in other lanes, thus amplifying the accident.

In a short period of time, the only way to react like this is to program the system.

It has to be said that in many cases, the extreme calmness of machines can make more favorable and more refined operations than humans.

"Well, I just left the laboratory and simulated site stage. Today, this is the first time I started the road test. Who would have thought that I would encounter such a thing and was exposed." Bai Ningyuan on the side of the phone said helplessly.

He is indeed a little distressed now. EMP's smart car project was always carried out in secret. He originally wanted to wait until tomorrow's long-distance experiment was successful before announcing the results. After all, sometimes it is not a good thing to expose it in advance, but now it is suddenly exposed and attracts much attention. At this time, if the long-distance driving experiment fails, it is difficult to predict what public opinion will become next.

This is what people say when they are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being brave.

"No matter what, you are really good. The performance is so powerful. I have seen it on the video before. To be honest, under such circumstances, if it were someone, it would be impossible to react. It is really surprising that your system can do this. It is probably already a sensation in the industry. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t

"In fact, my phone number is almost blown up. You should be the fifteenth call I received this afternoon." When he said this, there were black lines on Bai Ningyuan's forehead.

"Uh..." Li Shufu on the other side of the phone heard Bai Ningyuan's words, and he didn't know what to say at this time, but he couldn't help but stir up a wave in his heart.

I have long known that EMP's actions will definitely cause a sensation in the industry, but I didn't expect that the impact would be so strong. Not to mention anything else, it is enough to see the attitude of other car companies towards this matter from these fifteen phone calls.

In the past, autonomous driving technology only existed in the field of scientific research, so domestic car companies basically didn’t care much. Even when EMP announced that it would carry out research and development of smart car projects, everyone still didn’t take it seriously, and even more people were laughing at EMP’s overestimation.

Can this unmanned driving technology be developed so simply? And in the current environment, even if it is developed, where will they promote it? Can the public accept such a setting and hand over their own safety to a machine to control?

Obviously, this is unrealistic, so for the high-profile decisions of EMP, other car companies are just waiting and watching, and to some extent, they are still waiting to see the jokes about EMP.

EMP can be said to be a strange thing for domestic automobile companies. With the emergence of the unpopular electric vehicle industry, film and television has successively done many things that other automobile companies dare not think of, and has reached the height they have always dreamed of, making other automobile companies look so shameless. So I don’t know how many people hope that EMP can fall apart in secret.

"No matter what, you have reached a daunting level now. That's right, only by constantly strengthening our own strength can you protect yourself more. At this point, you are at the forefront of private car companies." Li Shufu spoke with a lot of emotion.

Once upon a time, EMP was just a rookie in a car company, an unknown junior. But now, in just a few years, it has grown into such a giant. Its rise speed can be described as magical, which can be called an "EMP miracle".

Moreover, in EMP, there are many things worth learning from, such as innovation.

Li Shufu's phone number is enough to represent the attitude of many car companies towards this moment.

What happened this morning was constantly spreading on the Internet like the speed of light, which not only attracted heated discussions, but also attracted the attention of many media. After all, this is a sufficient thing to change the domestic travel environment, climb the peak of world science and technology, and reduce major events in traffic accidents, which is also an achievement that many foreign scientific research teams cannot achieve.

Especially after CCTV News reported it, it can almost be said that it expressed its attitude towards the matter from an official perspective and set a tone for the matter. Therefore, at the order of countless senior media executives, many reporters had to immediately purchase a flight to Feiqin Island and rushed to Langya overnight.

What surprised many people happened. On flights from major cities in China to Qin Island, especially in the example of Feiqin Island in Beijing, almost 50% of the passengers on it are journalists from major media, and their purpose is almost the same, that is, to get EMP tomorrow's long-distance test as soon as possible.

While the staff of the EMP smart car project are sorting out the data collected today and making final preparations for tomorrow's long-distance tests, the media reporters are also busy for tomorrow's tests.

The next day, when Bai Ningyuan came to the EMP gate, he was immediately shocked by the sea of ​​cars in front of him. In addition to the sea of ​​cars, there were crowds of people, with as many as thousands of people, each holding long guns and short cannons in his hands, gathering in front of the EMP gate, looking as if he was waiting for it.

At this time, Bai Ningyuan suddenly realized that the plan to conduct a long-distance test secretly today was obviously ruined. It was impossible to stare at so many eyes and act in a low-key manner. The original experiment, under the attention of so many media, became a live broadcast.

It was originally just an ordinary test, but under the current situation, the nature was completely different. In the past, no matter whether the result was successful or failed in the end, it was just a verification case and a bunch of data for the staff of this project team. However, now, they have to consider what kind of public opinion storm if the experiment fails in the end or encounters another accident, then the EMP, which is almost praised on the altar, will encounter a public opinion storm.

So much attention has invisibly put a huge layer of pressure on their hearts, making them feel breathless and very uncomfortable.

But things have developed to the present moment, even if they are reluctant, they can only continue. Otherwise, they would have offended so many media in front of them, which is a serious price that EMP cannot bear, so they have to shoot.

At nine o'clock in the morning, under the gaze of countless media reporters, the EMP smart car, which completed its first test yesterday, slowly started, and then drove out of the EMP door smoothly.

Although I had seen it from the video yesterday and had corresponding psychological preparations in my heart, I have to say that when I saw the driverless car driving so skillfully, the reporters present still couldn't help but feel a heartfelt shock...
