Yibo Heavy Industry is very large inside.
A professional circular track was also built for testing vehicles.
Here, you can hear the sound of cars speeding by.
The whistling sound is endless.
A total of eleven Yibo cars are driving here day and night.
People parked their cars non-stop.
This is the real mileage of the car.
During the entire process, various problems with the car will be checked out and then solved.
In addition to roads, there are also various testing venues.
For example, steep slope test and so on.
It can be called a relatively complete testing ground.
A three-kilometer straight runway is very wide and can be used for many tests.
A group of people entered here.
On the runway, five Yibo cars were parked.
These are just engineering vehicles, not production vehicles.
"Master Zhong, these cars have already been improved for self-driving. You just need to load your self-driving program."
Yang Qi introduced.
There was a touch of pride on his face: "Each of our vehicles is equipped with six lidars."
I have to say, this is really a waste of money.
To know how many cars there are, just two laser radars.
The most is four.
Now it has been upgraded to six lidars in one go, which is considered to be a model with more lidars on the market.
The current price of lidar is not cheap.
Zhong Jiande nodded.
In fact, for autonomous driving technology controlled by artificial intelligence, even a camera is enough, because its analysis database is the same as that of the naked eye, rather than their current identification method.
But with lidar, it’s naturally better.
Since Yang Qi and the others have already transformed it, they have naturally saved a lot of time.
"You guys check to see if the conditions are met."
Zhong Jiande signaled.
His engineers immediately got into one of the cars and inspected it.
Automatic driving requires the installation of a lot of motors, such as the steering wheel, and an electronic control system controlled by automatic driving.
Not only that, the brakes, accelerator, etc. all need to be modified.
Of course, this refers to the later installation of autonomous driving technology.
Some of these cars are equipped with self-driving cars when they leave the factory, but these are directly designed to exist.
Ten minutes later, the inspection was completed.
"Bellworker, no problem."
said one of the engineers.
Zhong Jiande said: "Import our autonomous driving module."
From the beginning to the end, Zheng Chao and the others stood around watching without saying a word.
There was deep disdain on their faces.
Importing the autonomous driving module only takes a few minutes.
In order to hide it from the eyes of others, the engineer fiddled with it with a notebook.
In fact, Zhou Xianxian, who is hidden in Zhou Qiang's personal smart terminal, has already completed the introduction of the self-driving technology module and can control the car freely.
"Dad, do you want to start the car and scare them?"
"Hmph, how dare you look down on our autonomous driving."
Zhou Xianxian displayed it on Zhou Qiang's personal smart terminal in a text format.
Personal smart terminals are like smart watches. No one doubts the personal smart terminal on Zhou Qiang's wrist.
Zhou Qiang smiled.
This Zhou Xianxian is indeed too smart.
Know that the other party has bad intentions.
Zhou Qiang shook his head.
"All right!"
Zhou Xianxian made an aggrieved expression with some boredom.
When the import was completed, the engineer put away his notebook.
"Is this okay?"
Yang Qi was a little skeptical.
After all, the people of Baogao Company definitely have to spend a lot of time.
Zhong Jiande smiled lightly: "Of course, our autonomous driving technology is not that complicated."
At this time, Zheng Chao, who had been silent, said: "Mr. Yang, we are here mainly to confirm the compatibility of our autonomous driving technology with your Yibo car. How about this, just take advantage of this opportunity An opportunity for us to compete with this clockworker’s autonomous driving?”
Yang Qi looked at Zhong Jiande.
Zhong Jiande nodded indifferently and said: "It's better to compare, so that Mr. Yang can identify parallel imports."
Zheng Chao is not angry either. In the end, the final result depends on technology.
"You go and bring our test car over."
Half of this batch of engineering vehicles are equipped with Baogao's driverless technology.
Therefore, they don't need to prepare much.
A car drove out not far away, they checked it, and then took out their laptops and started working on it.
They will require small modifications to self-driving technology.
In fact, Yang Qi would like to see two tigers fighting each other.
He brought the two sides together with the purpose of letting them both show their true skills.
In fact, Yang Qi's heart is partial to Baogao Company. After all, it is the top autonomous driving technology company in the country.
Zhong Jiande's technology is great, but the company he works for is a new company and very uncertain. Self-driving technology is too important. Whenever something goes wrong, it will make headlines, and there is no room for him to be careless.
Zhou Qiang crossed his arms and found it interesting to see Zheng Chao and the others busy.
How awesome is our self-driving technology?
Zhou Qiang knows it.
Look at yesterday's test, you are so awesome that you have no friends.
Now they want to challenge it, which is simply asking for their own death.
Both parties are not at the same level of technology.
"We can do it."
After spending more than ten minutes, Zheng Chao said confidently.
Yang Qi said: "Let's test active braking first."
Strictly speaking, this is also a branch of driverless technology.
Driverless driving is a system.
The two sides quickly set up a test model vehicle.
Yang Qi has indeed spent a lot of money. These car models come from abroad and are professional test model cars.
Like some companies, they use some playing cards to draw what a car looks like. In fact, this is not rigorous.
"Let's do it first."
Zheng Chao, who was eager to show off, spoke first.
Of course Zhong Jiande didn't fight with him and made a gesture of invitation.
First is 30 kilometers.
Active braking means that when a vehicle senses a slower vehicle than itself while driving, it makes a braking action without the driver braking.
Zhong Jiande watched the other driver climb into the cab and rolled his eyes.
Do you still need personnel to perform preliminary operations?
The test started soon, with the car moving forward at a speed of 30 kilometers. When it approached the test model car, the driver did not brake, and then the active braking system intervened and braked suddenly.
"good!"
Of course the vehicle stopped steadily.
Zheng Chao and the others shouted happily, each clenching their fists in celebration.
Next is 50 kilometers.
This time it stopped, but it was very close to the rear of the car.
I have to say that being able to brake at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour is a very good result.
After all, it is just an auxiliary system, a supplement for when the driver is careless.
"Did you see it? This is our technical strength."
Zheng Chao sneered, his nostrils almost pointing upward.
Zhong Jiande smiled and said, "You continue."
Active braking also includes the ghost probe.
30 kilometers, stopped.
However, after 50 kilometers, it didn't stop at all and smashed the paper child crossing the road to pieces.
In fact, this result is already excellent among active braking.
The active braking of many luxury cars is just like this.
"It's your turn." Zheng Chao smiled lightly, with an expression of victory.
Zhong Jiande waved his hand and said, "Let's get there in one step."
"120km test."
"Starting from 30 kilometers is just something people who are not confident do."
This Zhong Jiande is so arrogant.
Yang Qi and the others were stunned.
Zheng Chao sneered and said, "It's just overestimating your ability and making people laugh."
At present, only a handful of cars dare to test 80 kilometers. Are you serious about 120 kilometers?
Yang Qi said: "Zhong Gong, would you like to think about it?"
"No, just 120 kilometers."
Zhong Jiande shook his head and rejected Yang Qi's kindness.
In this case, Yang Qi did not insist. He also wanted to see what kind of confidence Zhong Gong had.
It is long enough here, so the car quickly reaches a speed of 120 kilometers per hour under acceleration.
Then in front, a parked model car appeared.
I only saw that after this car entered the dangerous braking distance, the speed and driver did not respond, and the active braking system intervened to brake. It is actually almost the same as a real person driving, so enough braking space is reserved.
Amidst the harsh sound of brakes, the car successfully stopped about two meters away from the other car.
Zheng Chao and the others' eyes widened.
"How can this be?"
Active braking for 120 kilometers.
Look at the ease with which others brake, even better than their 30-kilometer test.
"It's impossible. The driver must have stepped on the brakes in advance."
Zheng Chao yelled.
The driver was from Yibo Auto, but he was trusted.
Zhong Jiande laughed and said, "You can send someone to open it."
Zheng Chao looked ugly. He didn't believe in a company with such great technology.
"Xiao Wang, you go."
Zheng Chao quickly dispatched one of his riders.
Xiao Wang was not polite. After getting in the car, he turned around again and quickly accelerated to 120 kilometers. He had no intention of stopping. He stepped on the accelerator and let the car continue to climb, even reaching 130 kilometers.
But at about forty meters, the automatic brakes responded.
During sudden braking, the accelerator was disconnected.
Likewise, this time it stopped just over two meters away.
Not only did Zheng Chao look ugly, but so did Xiao Wang who was driving.
He had secretly increased the height by 10 kilometers, but he was still stopped.
In contrast, their barely able 50-kilometer result is really unsatisfactory.
Yang Qi's eyes also shone.
Just from this test, you will know who has stronger skills.
He became excited.
The active braking for 120 kilometers alone is a gimmick, the only one on the market.
This will undoubtedly add many advantages to his Yibo car.
"Zhonggong, your skills are not bad, not bad..."
"No, it's just too good."
"I have inspected so many driverless technologies, but none of them are necessarily better than yours."
Yang Qi was already speechless.
Zhong Jiande was holding a cigarette and said carelessly: "Mr. Yang, driverless technology cannot just be tested like this. It is a comprehensive system, such as two-way streets, three lanes, four lanes, traffic lights, and crosswalks. , identification of intersections, etc., car merging, merging, overtaking, and how to deal with complex traffic conditions."
"So, I suggest that these little tests are not necessary."
"We really play it real."
"Testing on the road."
"Mr. Yang, you must be qualified for the road test, right?"
Yang Qi nodded and said: "We have paid a 20 million test deposit and can go on the road for testing at any time. However, it is only limited to Ji'an Avenue where there is less traffic and pedestrian flow."
Zhong Jiande glanced at Zheng Chao and said, "Director Zheng, how about we compare the actual tests? We only need to run on the outside road for a round to know whose autonomous driving technology is stronger, right?"
Zheng Chao was stunned.
As for the autonomous driving test, isn't it in a closed environment?
Road test?
No matter how confident he is in his company's technology, he would not dare to play like this.
And what Zhong Gong just said is that the current LV5 driverless technology may not be able to achieve it.
Zhong Jiande sneered, with a look of disdain on his face, and said, "What, you don't dare to play?"
Zheng Chao suppressed his blush, but he didn't dare to answer these words.
At present, Baogao Company has only tested the Genia self-driving car in the beautiful country on a special road, and the results can only be said to be average, not even excellent.
When it comes to practice, their technology is far from adequate.
Baogao is one of the top companies in the country, but there is still a gap between it and Google, Mercedes-Benz and Tesla. These companies don’t dare to do road tests easily. How could they dare?
"Hey, stop bluffing here, do you dare?"
Zheng Chao rolled his eyes and suddenly sneered.
He was very calm. The other person was just trying to scare him, and he was also a paper tiger.
Zhong Jiande laughed and said, "Of course we dare."
It’s not that I dare, but I’ve already done it.
Yesterday they tested it directly without even needing approval. It was absolutely audacious.
Anyway, regarding the test, they refused to admit it. If they were found out, they would not admit it. They hid the two cars. There was no evidence and they were not afraid of punishment from the relevant departments.
"Mr. Yang, let's apply for a road test."
Yang Qi's eyes also burst into light.
If driverless driving on road tests can be realized, this gimmick will be huge.
"good!"
Yibo Company is qualified for testing, so to apply for a road test, you only need to submit a report.
In less than half an hour, it was approved.
Can be tested.
"Zhong Gong, is it really okay?"
Yang Qi is still dubious, mainly because domestic companies really do not have this technical capability.
Generally speaking, only a few major foreign companies are capable of conducting real driverless testing.
Zhong Jiande said: "Mr. Yang, I have confidence in my driverless technology."
The test is simple.
Just let the car drive on autopilot to a certain point and then back.
During this process, there will be traffic, there will be zebra crossings, traffic lights, various complex road conditions, and even various traffic signs that need to be recognized and followed. Since this is an actual test, there is no difference between this and driving a car.
To be honest, Yang Qi didn't believe that Zhong Jiangong's unmanned driving technology could do it.
if it is possible……
Yang Qi knew that for Yibo Automobile, it would definitely be an instant hit.
How awesome would it be to be equipped with the first truly driverless car?
Amid Yang Qi's eagerness, and amidst the sneers and suspicions of Zheng Chao and others, this car loaded with an autonomous driving module completed a U-turn and accelerated at an extremely smooth speed, and knew how to turn and rush out of Yibo Industrial Park. door.
In the blink of an eye, he merged into the traffic flow.
This wave of operations left Zheng Chao and the others dumbfounded.
Is this still a test car?
It feels like the driving is smoother than that of an experienced driver.
Among the driverless test vehicles, which one doesn't drive slowly and slowly forward bit by bit?
Good guy.
The car in front of me not only quickly merged into the traffic flow, but also, like the experienced driver, after merging the line, I kicked the accelerator and let the car jump out. In the blink of an eye, it overtook again, increasing the speed to 80 kilometers.
"Fuck, what the hell."
"Is this driverless?"
"I, a veteran driver of twenty years, can't do such a nimble move."
"This set of operations is as smooth as water. How can it be driverless?"
Look at the car's road condition test footage sent back from the camera.
Zheng Chao and the others opened their mouths widely.
They are engineers in this area. Don’t they know what autonomous driving looks like?
Fuck, their worldview collapsed.
