I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 305 Chapter 169-170: Damn it, what kind of technology is this! (Two chapters in total)

"If we only achieve this step, then this car will just be a simplified version and a stylish version of Hillhouse Song. For me, it is far from enough." Gao Huaijun shook his head at this moment.

Isn't this enough?

Everyone present could not help but be surprised!
This product, both in appearance and interior, just feels more fashionable and ordinary in later generations.

But when I saw the low-smell gray artificial leather and the smell of gasoline, formaldehyde and various phenolic toxic gases mixed in the car, it was a low-end car that made people feel like vomiting after smelling it.

In the eyes of people in the automotive industry in 2012, this car was simply a prototype of a hit!
What kind of bike do you want?

This kind of appearance, then controlling the cost, keeping down the materials and so on, and controlling the total price, is better than anything else.

Today's consumers are short of everything except money.

If we add more, the cost might be higher than Hillhouse Song. Wouldn't that be funny?

Seeing the suspicious look below, Gao Huaijun smiled slightly and did not continue talking. Instead, he asked Li Yinxin, who was outside the conference room, to call Andrew Ng, the executive president in charge of the artificial intelligence BU, directly over to join the meeting.

The benefits of freeing your hands go far beyond these.

This joke is not easy to make at all!
You know, the unmanned driving system can be said to be ultra-high-end artificial intelligence, the black technology among black technologies.

So much so that in just two years, he went from a second-tier artificial intelligence researcher to one of the core leaders in this field!

Gao Huaijun didn't let them wait too long. He gently clicked on the large-screen controller, and four big words were written directly on it: Unmanned Driving System!

This is really a plan that cannot keep up with the changes.

In terms of software, it is not practical, but it can be said to be quite practical.

Gao Huaijun laughed loudly and clicked on the next page.

Could it be that I don’t learn Chinese well and am not good at studying?
Nope!
She feels that although her Chinese proficiency is not as good as that of a native speaker, it is not far behind.

Finally, it frees up the driver’s hands, and at the same time unlocks many very exciting ways to play!
For example, when driving in driverless mode on the highway, the driver can put down the back seat.

When Ng Enda came over in a trot, quite out of breath, Gao Huaijun took off his gold-rimmed glasses, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said leisurely, "Old Wu, I'm going to bear the burden for you this time. "

Then came Yixi!
Surprisingly, they now have a lot of tasks on hand. Although they already have about 1000 people on hand, this is far from enough compared to the artificial intelligence research and development tasks on hand.

Next is the driver of a large truck. Large trucks only need targeted fuel replenishment at outlets along the highway to reach their destination quickly. What else do drivers of large trucks need to do?

The executives present could not help but become curious.

If this thing can be realized, it will definitely be subversive!

All the executives present were used to the new words Gao Huaijun used from time to time.

Some thoughtful people even collected the vocabulary spoken by Gao Huaijun and named it: Gao Lingyu!
However, Li Yinxin who was on the side couldn't help being surprised when she heard this.

three people. . .

There is no surveillance and it is absolutely private. Just thinking about it makes some experienced drivers present feel yearning for it.

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but burst into an uproar when they saw these four words!
What?

These vocabulary words all feel so advanced, but I feel a little bit incomprehensible.

Driverless system?

"And now, what I need you to do is..." At this point, Gao Huaijun paused for a moment and looked around.

The first people to lose their jobs are taxi drivers. With driverless cars, who needs taxi drivers?

Whether it is the beauty artifact of the previous Nova mobile phone or the Hillhouse Map of Hillhouse Song, they are all bug-level existence.

Boss Gao, are you kidding me?

Two people. . .

The good news is that their team has now digested some of the previous creative points and is now in a bottleneck period. If Gao Huaijun gives them some inspiration, maybe they can continue to work on innovation (innovation points) and move forward. Take one step forward!
He originally just wanted to work at Hillhouse for a while and earn a little money, so he went back to college to be his professor.

And these three application scenarios are just a small part of this black technology.

Ng Enda was shocked.

So now, what does Boss Gao want the artificial intelligence department to do?

"Hahaha!" Gao Huaijun laughed, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I hope that Hillhouse's artificial intelligence department can empower the current new model, Hillhouse Dolphin, and I hope that you can stretch the graininess and make Come out with a product that satisfies me.”

Is this kind of black technology among black technologies really sure to make its first appearance in a 100,000-class model?

But I didn’t expect that Boss Gao had such an accurate grasp of the direction of artificial intelligence!

Start a wonderful car multiplayer vibration game!

Moreover, are you sure it is an unmanned driving system?

four people. . .

But. . .

So now he is trying his best, hoping to shine in Hillhouse!
"Mr. Gao, just ask me, Old Wu, and I will do my best." Andrew Ng nodded and said in a deep voice.

After the game is over, you can drive home directly.

A driverless system on the head of a 100,000-class car?

This is too dreamy!
At this time, everyone's expectations were completely filled in an instant.

"Now you still have a long way to go in the direction of unmanned driving systems. Naturally, it is impossible to have mature unmanned driving technology in the direction I gave." Gao Huaijun said to Ng Enda with a smile.

The executives below couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

You should have told me earlier!
However, their sense of anticipation was still raised at this moment.

Although there is no mature version of driverless technology, there is a beggar's version of a beggar's version, using dolphins for experiments, which will definitely be a rare highlight!

This will definitely empower and pave the way for Hillhouse Technology’s listing.

"At this stage, we will implement the first stage of autonomous driving technology, which is L1!"

[Chapter 170] Later, during Gao Huaijun’s introduction, the executives present had a rough idea of ​​what this autonomous driving technology L1 was.

This so-called L1 indicates some technologies that can only be used on specific road sections (such as highways or elevated sections). Representative functions such as adaptive cruise, lane keeping assist, braking, etc.

At this stage, it is actually necessary to rely on adaptive cruise to release the feet, but the hands cannot leave the steering wheel, and the driver still needs to control the car.

In the second stage, L2, the driver can partially free his hands, but needs to continuously monitor the driving conditions of the car.

However, there is still a long way to go.

However, even so, when the executives below heard the functions of L1 mentioned by Gao Huaijun, their eyes lit up.

Adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and automatic braking. Each of these three technologies is a very practical driving technology.

In the true sense, the first car to use cruise control was the mass-produced Chrysler in 1958. However, the current car cruise technology is nothing more than cruise control.

Maintain a certain speed, that is, just that speed. When there are many cars, emergencies can easily occur.

Adaptive cruise is completely different!

It can configure completely different speeds according to the conditions of the front, rear, left and right vehicles.

If you are fast, I will be fast, if you are slow, I will be slow!
And this requires the relevant assistance of radar.

Lane keeping assist is even better!
It can control the steering system based on the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) to assist the vehicle in keeping in its own lane.

When driving, a camera is used to recognize the markings of the driving lane and provide support for keeping the vehicle in the lane.

If the vehicle is close to the recognized marking line and may leave the driving lane, the driver will be alerted by the vibration of the steering wheel or the sound, and the steering wheel will be slightly turned to correct the driving direction so that the vehicle is in the correct lane. If no one actively intervenes, an alarm will be issued to remind the driver.

This kind of technology should not be used on dolphins.

Used on Hillhouse Ming, it is a big killer!
As for the automatic braking technology, after activating this function, for example, when parking and waiting for a traffic light, it is equivalent to not having to pull the handbrake. It can avoid using the handbrake or electronic handbrake and simplify the operation.

Automatic transmission models also don’t need to switch back and forth from D to N and D to P frequently.

When a car is temporarily stopped and must be restarted after a short period of time, stopping in this case will be achieved by brakes operated by an electric submersible pump.

The computer will check the levelness of the car body and the torque of the wheels through a series of sensors, judge the sliding tendency of the car, and apply appropriate braking force to the wheels to keep the car stationary.

This braking force is just enough to stop the car from moving, but not too much, so that when you step on the accelerator again, there will be no obvious forward movement.

After listening to Gao Huaijun’s explanation.

The eyes of the executives below are getting brighter and brighter!
These three autonomous driving technologies look complicated, but are actually very simple to drive.

The core is still artificial intelligence algorithm, which is a simple control problem for detection radar and camera.

It does not involve very high-end underlying logic!

However, these three technologies are very practical.

If it can be used on the Dolphin model, the effect can definitely be said to be outstanding!

There’s no need to boast, it’s definitely comparable to the effect of using the beauty tool on Nova!

"Mr. Gao, this adaptive cruise, lane keeping assist, and automatic braking technology is really too high-end and too powerful. If it can be used on the Hillhouse Dolphin, it goes without saying. I am absolutely confident that it will be used on this model." Cars are selling like hotcakes!”

"These three technologies, at first glance, look like three black technologies, but when you think about it, they are not that difficult. How did Mr. Gao come up with it?"

"Yes! Mr. Gao is really awesome!"

"This technology is completely unexpected, but it is also reasonable!"

"My first reaction is that it can be implemented. Now let's look at the artificial intelligence brother unit!"

Ng Enda couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the excited people on the side.

This technique seems simple, but in reality it is very troublesome!

They have already dabbled in driverless technology.

If driverless driving is in a dedicated area or road, he feels that there are no technical difficulties. Whether it is sensors, positioning systems, or automatic control, they can all complete the expected tasks well.

As for the biggest technical difficulty, he thinks that it is to realize autonomous driving in the current existing environment. Fundamentally speaking, it is to let the regular algorithm challenge various random events. What tests the adaptability and calculation of the algorithm. Speed ​​and decision-making outcomes.

After all, once a serious safety accident occurs in unmanned driving in an open environment, it will definitely be questioned and resisted by public opinion.

Moreover, the current entire transportation system in China is not designed for driverless driving. In order for driverless driving to be compliant and normal on the road, the entire traffic management system must be adaptively transformed.

With signal lights, guardrails, sidewalks, etc., vehicles need to carry out related underlying adaptations. This is a big project!

You mean lane keeping assist?

City roads, even highways, are not always clear.

How to play this?
The artificial intelligence team needs to consider everything that needs to be blurred.

This is very testing!

Autonomous driving seems to be a local technological issue, but it is actually a collision between artificial intelligence and human wisdom, a discussion of strict rules, logic and self-consistency.

"I'll try my best! I'll try my best!" Ng Enda touched his nose and said with a wry smile.

"This is not as simple as trying your best, Mr. Wu! This is a mission! With an artificial intelligence team of over 1000 people, no big BOSS in the university can compare to you, Mr. Wu." Gao Huaijun picked up the tea and took a sip. After tea, he glanced at Ng Enda.

Generally speaking, an ordinary professor in a university has a team of dozens of people, which is a super large team.

Like Hillhouse Artificial Intelligence BU, if the direct staffing is full and the number of people is over 1000, it is an accident among accidents.

Another reason why Andrew Ng doesn't want to leave is that the cheap labor force here is so abundant that it cannot be compared to the top universities in some beautiful countries.

He could only nod helplessly.

At this moment, Li Yinxin looked at Gao Huaijun in shock!
At this moment, she seemed to know him again.

Driverless technology?
Such advanced technology, such a technology that will change the world, was actually proposed at such a company meeting?
If it were in China, I don’t know how big a disturbance it could create!

Gao Huaijun, how many surprises does he have left for her to discover?
At this moment, she looked at Gao Huaijun with some awe.
