Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 32 True Centimeter-Level Environmental Perception
"Ma'am, Ma'am"

Tang Zhijie's words of persuasion were cut off with a beep.

Thinking of Tang Zhijie's current state, Wei Jiang gave himself 99 points for his performance.

Red Star, this name was completely thought up by him on the spur of the moment.

As we think about the increasing amount of technology we will get from the panel in the future, it will definitely be more convenient if we have a fixed identity to communicate with the outside world.

Taking Tang Zhijie's business card from the driver's seat and putting it aside, Wei Jiang fixed his eyes on the business card of the person in charge of safety technology for Ideal Vehicles.

"Continue to contact Ideal Yang Feng."

After waiting for a while, a hoarse male voice was heard.

"If you don't take out a loan or buy insurance, you're doomed."

Hearing the beep, Wei Jiang's face froze.

Shit! I was misunderstood!

"What's going on?"

The female voice of the in-vehicle intelligent terminal explained:
"It may be because the analog signal is used to call the other party's mobile phone, and the numbers displayed are out of sequence."

Speechless, the mission has not started well.

"Can you make a fake phone number? Or just show 10086?"

Since it is an analog signal, theoretically any digital signal should be possible.

The on-board terminal gave a positive answer.

"can."

"Okay, then use the simulated 10086 to continue contacting Yang Feng."

The call waiting tone rang a few times again, and Wei Jiang heard Yang Feng's hoarse voice again.

"My phone number is from China Unicom, did you make a mistake?"

Wei Jiang felt embarrassed when he could hear the doubt in the other person's tone.

MD! Use simulated 110 next time!

"Mr. Yang, your company is facing a decline in sales due to the push of Tesla's FSD. I guess the senior management is very anxious. How is the development of your intelligent driving service going?"

Wei Jiang's two consecutive questions clearly caught the other party by surprise.

“Mobile operators still care about this?”

"Mr. Yang, you can call me Red Star. I suggest you record the following conversation and send it to your boss immediately after hanging up."

Wei Jiang had no intention of wasting time with the other party and went straight to the point. He still had several other companies to contact and time was of the essence.

“The end-to-end technology is designed to build upon the integration of sensor data for autonomous driving environment perception.”

Wei Jiang ignored Yang Feng's thoughts and told Hua Wei Tang Zhijie the algorithm overview and technical key points that he had just told him without reservation.

It was more than ten minutes after he finished giving a brief talk on the algorithm. Wei Jiang drank some lemon water to moisten his throat.

"That's all. Mr. Yang, you don't need to be confused. What you need to do now is to send the recording to your company's CEO and the Zhijia team."

"I will inform some domestic car manufacturers of these contents tonight. Also, remember to contact Huawei Zhixing. I will contact you again at 12 o'clock, and then I will hand over the complete L4 autonomous driving technology to you."

After Wei Jiang finished speaking, Yang Feng immediately asked:
"Your name is Red Star, right?"

"How can I be sure you're not playing with me?"

Wei Jiang chuckled, took Yang Feng's business card and put it aside.

"I advise you to send the recording out. Someone will help you make a judgment. Of course, you can also ignore it and pretend nothing happened. The choice is yours."

"Okay, bye, I still have to contact other car manufacturers."

With a beep, Yang Feng, who was sitting on the sofa in the hotel suite in his pajamas, looked confused.

There were two mobile phones on the table at this time. The screen of the phone that had just received the strange call gradually went out, while the recording program of the other phone was still working.

"Is it real?"

"10086? This is a hacker, right? A prank?"

"Forget it, let's contact Lao Li just to be on the safe side."

Thinking of the calm and composed tone of the sweet female voice during the call, Yang Feng would rather believe it.

The recording is there, and someone will judge whether the algorithm this woman mentioned is authentic.

The person behind was surprised when he received the call and saw the caller ID. After all, receiving a 110 call in the middle of the night would make anyone shudder.

Because of this Wei Jiang’s subsequent communication efficiency was quite high.

That night, several CEOs of Dongda New Energy Vehicle Factory received telephone reports from the company's technical staff.

An unidentified hacker named Hongxing shared a new autonomous driving environment perception algorithm with all of them. Especially when they learned that the other party would contact them again at 12: midnight to hand over more content, this unconventional behavior made the bosses at a loss.

Despite their doubts, the bosses still chose to hand over the content sent by the other party to the company's intelligent driving team for review.

Half an hour later, the originally quiet and peaceful night was broken one after another.

In a five-star hotel in Shangdu City, Yu Dazui was lying on the bed to rest after a tiring day at work when someone knocked on the door of the guest room. The sound was rapid and it could be heard that the person outside was in a hurry.

"Boss Yu, Boss Yu! Something happened!"

Turning on the light in the room, Yu Dazui squinted his eyes, put on his slippers, walked slowly to the door and opened it.

His most trusted chief technical engineer stood outside the door, looking anxious, with messy hair and a notebook in his arms.

"Mr. Tang, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"

"Are there any new moves in the West?"

In Yu Dazui's eyes, he has seen many storms and waves, and every time something happens, it is nothing more than the old Western powers attacking him again.

"No! Those are just small matters!"

"Let me in, big deal! Big deal!"

Without waiting for Yu Dazui's invitation, Tang Zhijie walked into the room with his computer in his arms.

Putting the notebook on the table, Tang Zhijie pointed at the notebook screen and said seriously:

"Come here quickly! Look at this!"

"This algorithm improves the precision of vehicle environment perception to less than centimeter level!"

"Our engineers have determined that this algorithm has the ability to integrate timeline data. Even if the vehicle currently does not perceive environmental data, the algorithm can trace back historical data for integration and analysis!"

With a background in science and engineering, Yu Dazui has led Huawei Zhixing for many years. He knows the standards for judging the performance of intelligent driving environment perception algorithms better than most people.

If what Tang Zhijie said is true, this is definitely a big deal! Even a big deal that will affect the entire industry!
I went to my notebook and checked it, which contained the algorithm review report sent by the company team.

He was very familiar with the signature on the review report, who was none other than the chief executive of Huawei Zhixing's intelligent driving technology.

Dozens of seconds passed, and Yu Dazui slammed the table and said loudly:
"Wow! The team is awesome! With this algorithm, I have more confidence in ADS 3.0!"

"Old Tang! What good news! Hahahaha."

Tang Zhijie looked at Yu Dazui, who was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and realized that the other party had misunderstood something.

"Don't be too happy, Mr. Yu. This algorithm was not produced by our team. It came from a female hacker named Red Star."

Under Yu Dazui's surprised gaze, Tang Zhijie slowly began to narrate what happened an hour ago.

"An hour ago, the other party contacted me via mobile phone and took the initiative to explain to me the algorithm framework, implementation principles and difficulties. The algorithm review report you saw was the result of my urgent contact with the team to discuss implementation and testing."

Tang Zhijie's explanation left Yu Dazui confused. He didn't understand why he had to hide if he had such strength?
"A hacker? A woman?"

"Yes, she also said that she would contact us again at 12 o'clock and ask us to contact domestic car manufacturers. At that time, she will fully explain the details of L4-level autonomous driving technology with L5 potential."

Tang Zhijie himself found it unbelievable when he stated it.

Software engineers around the world have racked their brains to develop autonomous driving technology, which has now reached L2 and is close to L3. Now some people say that she wants to share complete content on L4 level autonomous driving.

This sounds like a dream!

"12 o'clock? The other party wants to contact you?"

Yu Dazui looked at the time in the lower right corner of the laptop screen. It was 10:48.

"Yes, Mr. Yu, should we prepare according to the other party's instructions?"

Yu Dazui fell silent. The dignified Hua Wei was actually surpassed by a little female hacker.

In addition to the algorithm in front of them, the other party actually has something else to bait them.

"Should we contact the technical team to locate the other party? Or contact the police?"

Tang Zhijie couldn't help but suggest that if it was really a talent company, it would be necessary to take unconventional means to approach it.

"No rush. Let the core members of the intelligent driving team get ready. They should still be working overtime at this point."

"In more than an hour, we will meet this person together."

Before figuring out the other party's intentions and strength, Yu Dazui chose to sit back and do nothing.

People with ability should be respected wherever they go, especially when the other party has shared the autonomous driving technology algorithm to show goodwill.

"Should we follow Hacker Red Star's advice and contact other car manufacturers?"

Tang Zhijie asked, thinking that if Hongxing really had something in mind, sharing the technical content with competitors might not be a good thing for Huawei Zhixing.

As the general manager of Huawei Zhixing, Yu Dazui understands this principle better than Tang Zhijie.

"We do what she says. We don't take the initiative until we get what we want."
