Chapter 229 Super sports car and unmanned bus together

As soon as the words fell, the project team members who accompanied them also made small voices of discussion.

The project team is composed of personnel from various departments, and most of them don't know much about vehicle-road coordination technology. At this time, they heard the introduction from the team leader Bai Qiang, and the people were not as nervous about Hu Lai as before, so the atmosphere became more active.

A young member of the design department asked:
"Lao Li, you are from the technical department. Is the vehicle-road coordination mentioned by the team leader the Internet of Everything?"

"..."

"I am professionally in charge of the power system, and I don't know much about network communication, but I heard from the team leader before that 'road informatization' is actually to install high-definition cameras on red street light intersections, smart street lights and other equipment on the road, and then real-time The road image is uploaded to the cloud server through the network."

"Uh, what does vehicle informatization mean?"

"As the name suggests, vehicle informatization is to upload the road condition information around the car to the cloud server."

The voice of discussion in the crowd reached Bai Qiang's ears, he smiled, turned to Lao Li and said:

"Lao Li is right, but not entirely right."

The discussion of the crowd came to an abrupt end as Bai Qiang opened his mouth, and everyone's eyes fell on Bai Qiang.

He smiled and said:

"Lao Li's 'road informatization' is correct. The 'road' of vehicle-road coordination is to install 'eyes' on all traffic roads in the city, and use high-definition cameras to obtain real-time road conditions and send them to cloud servers. .”

"Lao Li's explanation of "vehicle informatization" is not accurate. In fact, the "vehicle" in the vehicle-road coordination will not upload the information and images of the surrounding road conditions to the cloud server. The data uploaded by the "vehicle" is very Less."

Ok?
Bai Qiang's point of view surprised many people.

In everyone's impression, isn't vehicle-road collaboration that the car uploads information to the cloud server, and the road also provides information to the cloud server, and the combined data is fed back to the car after the two "run in two directions"?

Why is this a little different from the impression?
Bai Qiang didn't mean to be tricky, and explained:

"Actually, you can imagine that in our current network environment, even if there is full coverage of the 5G network, if all the cars on the road upload the image information around them to the cloud server, what will it be like? Scenes?"

"The data of dozens or thousands of vehicles is acceptable. If hundreds of millions of vehicles across the country are all transmitting data to the cloud in real time, how will such a huge amount of data be processed? How will the network traffic cost be afforded?"

"so."

"In practical applications, the 'car' of vehicle-road coordination generally only transmits a small amount of data upward, unless it triggers the preset 'alarm mechanism' inside the car, such as feeling a strong collision of the vehicle, such as discovering a traffic jam, etc. .”

"The 'road information sharing' function we are using on the 'Qingluan' car is actually based on this principle."

"We 'Qingluan' will only trigger the 'collection mechanism' when we find traffic jams, road repairs or even potholes on the road. Only after the mechanism is triggered will the corresponding data be uploaded, and finally calculated by the cloud server and shared with everyone' Qingluan's car owner."

Having said that, everyone basically understands the principle of vehicle-road coordination.

Director Zhang, who has been accompanying Hu Lai all the time, is also nodding frequently at this time. He hosted the "Qingluan" new product launch conference before, so he also knows something about the "road information sharing" technology.

He asked in a timely manner:
"Group leader Bai, can I understand this way?"

"The main force in 'vehicle-road coordination' is 'road', which is based on the information provided by 'road' as the cornerstone, and 'vehicle' is only auxiliary, as a supplement for emergencies and details."

Bai Qiang nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, for the 'vehicle-road coordination' technology, road access information is the main source, and the car is only a supplement."

"Only after the 'road informatization', a large number of fixed cameras can truly obtain all kinds of information on the road in real time and quickly."

After saying this, Bai Qiang didn't wait for Director Zhang to answer, and changed the subject:
"Mr. Zhang, you should know that the L3 level 'autonomous driving' technology of our Phoenix car is very good."

"Whether it is on the shared car or on our 'Qingluan', it can achieve 50% response at speeds below 100KM/H."

Factory Manager Zhang didn't know why Bai Qiang suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded.

Bai Qiang continued:

"but."

"You should also know that our speed below 50KM/H means that the computer can respond 100% of the time, not that it can avoid accidents 100% of the time."

"For example, in emergencies such as someone driving head-on and someone crossing a zebra crossing, although our technology can respond quickly to avoid vehicles and pedestrians, it does not mean that we can avoid accidents 100% of the time!"

"So, I just said that the 'vehicle-road coordination' technology itself is used to assist the 'unmanned automatic driving technology'. Once the 'vehicle-road coordination' and road informatization are realized, then all the vehicles connected to the 'vehicle-road coordination' system Cars can obtain relevant scene road information, and even the number of pedestrians on the zebra crossing will be known in advance.”

"In this way, the 'unmanned autonomous driving' technology will become safer, and the car's sensing of the scene will have no blind spots; under the 'vehicle-road coordination' system, the computing chip can even perceive road information in advance, truly realizing Beyond-horizon perception!"

Director Zhang let out a sigh of relief.

However, before he could speak, Bai Qiang turned his head to look at Hu Lai, with a look of expectation on his face.

"So, the core of 'vehicle-road coordination' is to realize 'road informatization'. Only when the entire city's road network is covered by full-network video can we truly realize 'vehicle-road coordination'."

"And once the 'vehicle-road coordination' is realized, in the future our cars will enter a city not only in a geographical sense, but also like an airliner, it will connect to each airspace after entering each airspace. Control tower."

"In the future, when entering each city, each vehicle will first connect to the city's 'vehicle-road coordination' system, and then it will be able to know all the road conditions in the city!"

After saying this, Bai Qiang smiled slightly and looked at the crowd:

"This way should be the operating mode of the future city."

Before he knew it, Bai Qiang took the topic a little deeper.

However, before everyone could react from his words, it was he who broke the silence first:
"So, this question goes back to the question we had earlier!"

"The 'Vehicle-Road Coordination' function we envisage needs to transmit a large amount of data to the cloud server for analysis and processing. There are tens of thousands of cameras in each city. Cars in the 'Vehicle-Road Coordination' system."

"Such a huge data transmission requires very high network speed and transmission quality, which is impossible to achieve with the current 4G network."

"So, this is why Mr. Zhang Feiyang said just now that 'vehicle-road coordination' is more dependent on 5G than 'remote intervention'."

Hu Lai didn't ask a word just now, but now he has completely figured it out.

"Vehicle-road coordination" is actually a large-scale application scenario under the 5G network. Its technical difficulty is not high, but it relies heavily on network transmission.

The meaning of the subtext is that cities without 5G coverage should not popularize this function at all.

really.

As expected by Hu Lai, Zhang Feiyang looked at Hu Lai and Director Zhang, and added:

"Boss, in fact, although we have developed the 'vehicle-road coordination' technology, to use the 'vehicle-road coordination' technology, we need not only a 5G network, but also a large amount of 'road informationization' data."

"Even in our mountainous city, the most important roads in the urban area have achieved 'road informatization', so the current 'vehicle-road coordination' function can only be regarded as half a function."

"but……"

"Because the 'unmanned bus' is not like a family car, the route of the 'unmanned bus' is relatively fixed, so we only need to realize the 'road informatization' of the roads on the bus line, but we can also realize the 'vehicle-road coordination' technology .”

"We can also take advantage of the opportunity of this 'unmanned bus' delivery. If we can persuade the city to let us build a 'vehicle-road coordination' system for the mountain city, it will be a win-win business for us."

"Not only can I make some money, but I can also learn from the experience of 'vehicle-road coordination' system construction!"

Zhang Feiyang brought the topic back to "unmanned bus", and Hu Lai also understood Zhang Feiyang's plan, and nodded his head as he had no objection.

Hu Lai did not continue to talk about the "vehicle-road coordination" technology. His main purpose of coming today is to understand the "unmanned bus". After listening to the introduction, he remembered the solar panels and the "no steering wheel" mode.

After pondering for a moment, he said:
"Feiyang, I've heard so much, so let's make a suggestion."

Everyone was stunned, and all looked at Hu Lai.

"At first you mentioned the issue of solar panels for cars. To be honest, I don't know if solar panels will be used in cars in the future."

"Maybe in the future, the battery life will increase, the charging efficiency will be higher, and the solar panels will become useless and completely launched into the automotive market; of course, it is also possible that the solar panels' power generation efficiency will be improved while the cost will be reduced, and they will be more and more favored by buses and buses. "

"Just like we use solar panels now, if the cost of 5 yuan is reduced to 2 yuan, the cost can be paid back in three years, which is very cost-effective for the bus company; if the cost is reduced to 3 yuan, or 1 yuan can be charged a day It is bound to become a hot technology.”

"So, I think we still need to reserve solar panel technology. As for the price, I can accept a lower profit and share the cost of use by customers."

After receiving Hu Lai's definite answer, Zhang Feiyang also breathed a sigh of relief.

His thinking is the same as that of Hu Lai. Although the cost-effectiveness of solar panel power generation is low, the current speed of technology is likely to achieve rapid development in a year or two. It is absolutely correct for Phoenix Motors to reserve technology in advance.

Immediately afterwards, there was another nonsense voice in my ear.

"As for the "non-steering wheel mode" + "remote intervention" buses mentioned earlier, since the third- and fourth-tier cities do not have 5G network coverage, there is no way to use 'remote intervention' to ensure 100% safety, so for the time being, we will first use them in cities covered by 5G. Promote."

"As for the third- and fourth-tier cities, if there is a real market demand, we can also launch buses with 'steering wheel mode'. If there is no 5G network coverage, we can also arrange staff. The technology is iterated step by step, so we can't be too extravagant complete in one step."

"In this way, although our input costs are higher, now is not the time to care about profits."

Hu Lai made a decision on the spot, and finally solved the problem that the "unmanned bus" project team had not settled down.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Lai experienced various functions inside the "unmanned bus" compartment. After some experience, he was quite satisfied with the "unmanned bus".

Seeing that the matter of understanding the "unmanned bus" came to an end, Hu Lai was about to leave, but just as he got out of the car, he happened to see the super sports car being tested on the circular track.

Hu came to see that it was still early, so he decided to learn about the progress of the super sports car.

soon.

The super sports car that was still on the runway also stopped in the parking area. Before Hu Lai and others approached, the door of the Phoenix super sports car opened slowly, and most of the people present were stunned for a moment.

I saw the two doors of the super sports car rising slowly upwards. The doors opened upwards like the wings of a spreading eagle. After the doors rose to a sufficient height, a driver wearing a professional test suit came out of the car.

"Seagull Gate?!"

Hu Lai was also a little surprised when he saw it. Although he had heard the director Zhang say that the door was opened in a special way before, seeing it with his own eyes at this time still has a strong visual impact.

Even if Hu Lai was like this, the members of the "unmanned bus" project team on the side exclaimed even more. Supercars are a highly confidential project of Phoenix Motors, and they have no contact with this project at all on weekdays.

At this time, the project team with mostly young people has already been fried.

"Seagull door! Seagull door! Zesla model X, the seagull door only available on Mercedes-Benz SLS-AMG! So cool!"

"This low body with seagull doors is really good-looking, and it is very convenient to get in and out of the car. I feel that it is matched with the high-end temperament of our Phoenix car, and it is just right."

"The overall feeling of the headlights and lines and the way the seagull doors are opened will give you an imposing manner. Master Wei, the actual car effect is better than the effect picture!"

Zhang Feiyang stood aside and laughed loudly, his happiness could be heard in the laughter.

He looked sideways at Hu Lai, smiled and said:

"Boss, this is our final mass-produced version. With the help of the 'simulated wind tunnel test software', we finally determined this optimal wind resistance solution."

"We are now busy with the final durability test, and strive to mass-produce within one and a half months. Once mass-produced, we plan to take the supercar and the 'unmanned bus' together to participate in the Frankfurt International Motor Show!"

Supercar and unmanned bus to participate in the Frankfurt International Motor Show? !
Hu Lai smiled, and his eyes fell on the supercar again.

As he walked towards the sports car, he asked:
"I remember that the application of MQ-1 polymer materials was mentioned once before. Has the result been used in our super sports car?"
