Chapter 729: Road test.
On the speed table of the multi-directional car, the Shi Lei car stopped there quietly. At the traffic light in front of her, the red light flashed constantly. Combined with the floor sign simulation system, reporters were in the examination room with the Shi Lei car, eagerly waiting for the examination to begin.
If to judge the car Shi Lei passed in subject 1, it must reach the pass standard of 90 points, here where even former taxi drivers who drove for many years failed in this exam hall. We can see how rigorous and hard this examination is!
The public watching the live broadcast of this event had a kind of excitement at the idea of participating in the turning point of history.
"Everyone; come and guess how many points the Shi Lei car can get in the test?"
"I guess 80. I heard this big official say all the road signs in the country can be simulated here. If we pass the test, I estimate we will not be able to mark forty."
"Damn me ~ this system is amazing, I feel like the Shi Lei car is not testing the remote driving function, but the driver's license. It reminds me of the scene of the subject's first test; I passed the test five times..."
"These ~ testing methods are clear at a glance, and I have to say our country is getting better and better."
"Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3 are really impressive. If the Shi Lei car can pass these tests, then I approve of the remote driving function."
"I agree too!"
...
……
"Please wait a moment," the United States representative said, interrupting the thoughts of many on stage and in the live stream.
"Representative of the United States, do you have anything to add?" hummed director Duan Shuang Qing, indicating the test is not expected to begin yet.
"Everyone; ~ as a third-party monitoring agency, we have a few questions I would like to ask before the test begins.
"First, according to the prior information, the remote driving function is divided into remote driving and super remote driving calculation. Among them, we therefore want to know which driving mode corresponds to this test."
"Second, is the wireless connection for remote driving strictly in accordance with the network environment under the actual road? This is very important. If the test center is also equipped with a network repeater or the wireless network interface is open to Shi Lei vehicles, so we believe that this test will not be able to test in a fair and unbiased way whether the remote driving function is good or bad."
"Third, how far is the remote driving command center from us? If it is too close, I don't think it is consistent with the actual road environment."
After she finished speaking, the United States representative gave the questioning look back to the Huge Industrial Monster representative.
The media booth was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly relieved. The journalist also quickly explained the meaning of the questions posed by the United States representative to the audience watching the broadcast live at the microphone.
When the Huge Industrial Monster introduced this function, it said that at first, a professional driver would be used to remotely control the Shi Lei car. When the different driving habits of this driver will be grasped by the super calculation, the super calculation will gradually replace this old driver and become the "virtual driver" by the accumulation of a large amount of data.
So now the driver's seat of the Shi Lei car is empty. Later, is it a well-trained professional driver driving, or a supercomputer "virtual pilot" driving? The second problem is the public opinion of netizens, discussing the problem of wireless connection with the farthest driving function.
As we all know, the Shi Lei car can only rely on the 4G network throughout the city to connect to the command center of the Huge Industrial Monster when the remote driving function is activated. On 4G networks, there will be the issue of dropped calls or the issue of reduced signal strength.
"The Shi Lei car in front of me is about to activate the remote driving function, which can only be tested by connecting to the 4G network."
The United States representative wanted to confirm, in case the test center opens the wireless router with gigabit fiber broadband to the Shi Lei car; so, what else to test, sitting in a Shi Lei car, watching Blue-ray HD movies? The other point was a delay: the longer the distance, the greater the wireless network delays. If the Huge Industrial Monster moved the control center nearby, isn't that cheating?
I must say that the United States representative posed these questions in a very professional manner and was able to capture the attention of the media and the public.
Yes ~ many reporters nodded in agreement. Only after confirming these issues can this test be perfect.
"The United States representative appears to be well prepared."
Kong Tao looked at Jayne with a semi-smiling look: "The first question, I would like to ask the United States representative first, what you want us to use? Does this mode no longer meet the requirements of this test?"
"Naturally, this is a (virtual pilot). Since the goal of the Huge Industrial Monster is to replace the pilot with supercomputing, I want it to be easy for supercomputing to recognize the traffic signs."
United States Representative Jayne put on a disinterested expression, but she was actually smiling. To her left and right sat a group of senior technicians from Tesla's smart car lab.
These senior technicians have analyzed that it is impossible for the Huge Industrial Monster to replace the driver with supercomputing in a short time. Their Tesla car lab began researching this technology five years ago, and they knew that until today, their developed system is still unable to accurately identify the various traffic signs on the road and that does not It's only been a few months since the Huge Industrial Monster entered the automotive field, could it have solved this problem?
"We also believe the 'virtual pilot' is more competent for this job," Kong Tao nodded, speaking faster: "The answer to the second and third points is no, the test center includes the neighborhood, and we don't place any follow-up to the installation, no network is open to the Shi Lei car. As for the control center, it is naturally in the city of Shanghai, and if the United States representative is skeptical, he is welcome to come to check it out."
"We have no problem," United States Representative Jayne all smiled.
Director Duan Shuang Qing again announced the start of the test. Following the order, the technicians on the side started the test equipment here.
"Ten seconds later, prepare the relevant testers."
"Ten, nine, eight..."
"Five, four, three..."
With the sound of the electronically synthesized countdown ringing in the ear, it initially stopped on the directional speed cross-platform. Shi Lei's car quietly turned on the daytime running lights, and at the same time, there was a circle of flashing green lights in the chrome trim under the car's window, which looked very sci-fi.
The countdown was over and the flashing red light ahead immediately turned green. The empty Shi Lei car had also rotated its tires the next moment and galloped onto the speed platform. The rollers of the speed table rotated in contact with the tires so that the Shi Lei car still maintained its original position in the driving state.
Five seconds later, on the large screen on one side, it was displayed that the speed of Ji Lei's car reached 40 km/h, and the sound of rotating and rubbing tires and rollers buzzed. Just as everyone was looking around and seeing where the traffic signs were, a sign with a speed limit of 60-120 km/h suddenly appeared ahead.
The Shi Lei car was clearly not moving, but the sign was approaching the ground in the distance, approaching the Shi Lei car, giving people the feeling that the Shi Lei car was moving along the road.
It was the moving sign, and it was quickly recognized as a very common freeway speed limit sign. Lots of people laughed and the thundering car hit high-speed seconds after rolling.
The moment the "Om~" sign appeared, the car began to accelerate. It took two seconds to go from 40 km/h to 100 km/h. At the same time, the big screen on his side also quickly gave a point.
[The judgment is correct; the score will be increased by 1!]
[Reaction time from panel appearance to acceleration is 0.05 seconds.]
[In previous test results, the average driver reaction time was 0.88 seconds.]
"Eh?" Director Duan Shuang Qing suddenly made a clever call: "Good guy, the reaction speed is twenty times faster than the human level. You should know that this past result is tested by professional pilots.
Reporters in the media booth also rubbed their eyes and stared at the on-screen content in surprise. But before they could calculate the speed in their heart, another traffic sign appeared. It was a triangular panel with a...
What's on it?
It took a second or two for everyone to see the contents of the panel one after the other; it was a smoking locomotive.
However, Shi Lei's car had already turned on its brake lights as soon as the sign appeared. When the "dudu~" whistle sounded in the hall, Shi Lei's car had been stopped for several seconds. Accompanied by the whistle, a locomotive actually came from one side... It was a foam board kickstand locomotive attached to the slider, and it was also covered in bumpy collision marks.
"Uh..." Director Duan Shuang Qing swallowed hard and explained into the microphone: "Don't worry about how unreasonable it is to drive a bullet train; after all, we're here to test the driver's ability to cope with various accidents. As you can see most professional drivers have somersaulted here in the past. This is a traffic sign at an unattended railroad crossing. Our system can determine the distance between the train and the car according to the speed of the vehicle. If the driver cannot react, the train runs straight and hits the car diagonally. If the judgment is correct, the score will be increased by 1!"
The reaction time from the appearance of the sign to the brake was 0.04 seconds.
"I have nothing to say. Humans will never be able to reach this reaction speed in their lifetime."
Manager Duan Shuang Qing gave the Huge Industrial Monster representative a thumb up and the latter greeted the manager with a smile.
On the other side, from the side of the representatives of the United States, one by one looked surprised.
