After returning to Rongcheng, Liu Yi was much busy. He was not only facing the company's R&D personnel's issues regarding artificial intelligence, but also paying attention to the progress of R&D of various projects.

Among them, new energy vehicles are a focus of Liu Yi's attention.

The oil prices are now high, with each barrel being as high as more than 100 US dollars. Such high oil prices are also quite bad news for China, an oil importer.

Modern energy, industry, and transportation are all inseparable from oil.

The number of car ownership of Huaxia fuel vehicles is increasing year by year. Since 2009, China's car ownership has surpassed the United States and ranked first in the world.

At the end of the year, there was a statistics that the number of private cars in China had reached 78.72 million, an increase of 20.4% compared with 2010.

With such strong growth, China's demand for oil will definitely continue to grow. China has no pricing power in the global oil field, so it's all right to not have pricing power. The most troublesome thing is that China's oil is not enough to consume itself.

Whether in terms of national security or environmental protection, China has to develop new energy vehicles.

The development of new energy vehicles is strongly supported by China.

Xingchen Automobile received large amounts of financial support from China.

Xingchen Technology is not short of money, but it still has to be supported if it should be.

It is normal for the country to support an industry worldwide.

On this day, Liu Yi came to Xingchen Automobile's R&D center in Rongcheng.

At the headquarters of Xingchen Technology, it is mainly for electronic research and development. This part of Rongcheng is a plain, and the area of ​​Rongcheng itself is very large and the land is not too crowded.

Therefore, the buildings built by Xingchen Technology have a special sense of majesty.

The first impression that the person gives is not only a sense of technology, but also a big one.

"Mr. Yi, this is our R&D center and this is the production area. The production area is still under construction, and it is expected that formal production will be started in the first half of 2012."

Liu Yi nodded and didn't go to see the factory. The factory is still under construction. It seems that the factory has been built, but it is just the appearance, and the equipment inside has not been installed.

Modern factories are built quite quickly, but internal installation of some refined factories takes the most time.

When he came to the automobile R&D center, Liu Yi saw several cars parked there. When he stepped forward, he was sure that this was Xingye Auto developed by Xingchen Auto!

"The range of starry night reaches 400 kilometers, and it only takes nine seconds to accelerate 100 miles. Inside the car, we have loaded an artificial intelligence system, which can realize the function of autonomous driving."

Liu Yi asked in surprise: "Are you using autonomous driving?"

Although autonomous driving sounds like a high-end, atmospheric and high-end technology, for Xingchen Technology, the difficulties of this technology are really gone.

The glutinous rice has all come out, so naturally, visual recognition and thing sensing systems have been made.

Nuomi not only collects external information through cameras, but also includes radar, laser detection and other means.

Of course, if you are on a car, just use the camera and radar.

Yang Li smiled and said, "This is thanks to the help of the software department!"

In recent times, the software department of Xingchen Technology has been quite busy because everyone is studying glutinous rice! Everyone has their own gains after researching. Many technologies that used to be difficult have now made a smooth breakthrough.

And it is moving towards higher-difficulty technology.

“Has autonomous driving been tested on the road?”

Where is the diversity of transportation around the world?

That must be in China.

There are many cars and many people. If you want to drive a fully autonomous car in China, there are many technical requirements.

"I conducted a road test in Rongcheng last month, but there was a car accident!"

"Oh, hit someone?"

Yang Li waved his hand and said, "No way, this is, I was hit by a car while waiting for the red light!"

The fully autonomous driving program is used to drive strictly in accordance with traffic rules.

In other words, the speed limit is the first, and the speed will definitely not exceed the speed limit.

As for the incident of a car accident, it was a bit speechless. The self-driving test vehicle stopped after detecting the red light signal, and then the car behind it actually hit it directly.

This matter is really helpless.

"On the smooth road sections inside the city, Xingye's autonomous driving function is perfect, but when it comes to the complex road sections in the city, the situation is not very good, and there have been several choice mistakes!"

It is not possible to say that the system itself has made a mistake in its choice, but because the system itself has no way to judge what the people around it want to do next.

At this time, a problem occurred.

Liu Yi: "This is okay. If there is a complicated section of road, I believe no one can use autonomous driving!"

Autonomous driving can only be said to exist as an auxiliary function and cannot truly replace humans to drive.

In dealing with emergency situations, people are more reliable.

Of course, no one can tell what the future will be like.

When all means of transportation are connected to the Internet of Things, transportation will undergo transformative changes.

But now, then wait!

Liu Yi got in the car and felt it because he was built with Internet thinking. What is Internet thinking? To put it bluntly, it means adding entertainment, Internet access and other things to the car.

In the central control design, a screen is embedded on the center console, and the operation of the entire car can be carried out on the screen.

Whether it is air conditioning or car windows, it can be controlled.

"We are talking about cooperation with Mobile to see if we can make Mobile specially issue a network card to carry it on the car."

Liu Yi: "Is there enough power to carry so many entertainment equipment?"

Yang Li said affirmatively: "Even if the air conditioner is turned on throughout the whole process and the entertainment equipment in the car is used, the car's cruising range can reach 300 kilometers!"

When Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction when he heard that it had a range of 300 kilometers!

Three hundred kilometers don’t look long, but it’s good to travel in the city.

“What about charging?”

One point of new energy vehicles is that it is difficult to work with. Many people do not consider new energy vehicles, which is the charging problem.

An electric car without electricity is useless.

Especially, thinking that when I was halfway through the road, the car was out of power, it was awkward.

"We designed a new charging pile and also prepared a home charger!" Yang Li brought Liu Yi to the charging pile and said: "The charging pile can make the car fully charged in one hour, and the home charger will take five hours!"
Chapter completed!
