Homo sapiens

Chapter 336 Brave New World (3)

During the 73-kilometer journey, the train stopped at the Johor Electronic City and then headed towards Kampong City at full speed.

Homo Sapien's comprehensive urbanization investment strategy will, to some extent, help speed up trains because they don't need to stop at too many stations.

46 minutes later, the train arrived at Kampong City.

"Dear passengers, the train has arrived at Kampong City, please take your personal belongings with you."

With the help of Zhao Jingcai, Chen Yanxiu and his family got off the bus smoothly, then took the elevator back to the ground station.

Zhao Jingcai booked a self-driving taxi and took Chen Yanxiu and his family to Building 204 in Kampong Chengnan District.

Looking at the orderly traffic flow on the street, Chen Yanxiu found that there were many traffic controllers with guns on the street here. He asked curiously:

"Jing Cai, the traffic management personnel here are also equipped with rifles? Is it because everyone has guns?"

Zhao Jingcai turned the steering wheel: "The gun is required by the Internal Security Department. It is mainly to guard against things outside the wall and to facilitate emergency situations at any time."

"As for everyone holding guns, this is actually a misinformation. Only elite employees who have been certified and audited by the Internal Security Division are eligible to purchase firearms. Currently, there are about 150 million elite employees registered by the Internal Security Division."

Haha, Chen Yanxiu couldn't complain in his heart. How many employees does Homo Sapien Company have in total? Even if Dongba Branch and Motor Island Branch are included, it's only about 800 million.

The 150 million elite employees basically cover a large part of the young and middle-aged employees.

In fact, the 150 million elite employees represent 150 million new human employees within the Homo sapiens company, but new employees like Chen Yanxiu are not sure about the connection.

The car detects the traffic light ahead and automatically slows down.

Chen Yanxiu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also saw that Zhao Jingcai didn't seem to be operating much, and the car began to slow down on its own.

"Is this car self-driving?"

"No, it's auxiliary driving. It's mandatory to install it. It's mainly to reduce traffic accidents. The department I work in develops in-vehicle auxiliary computers."

"Is there a risk of losing control? Those car companies engaged in self-driving don't seem to have mature self-driving technology, right?"

Zhao Jingcai explained: "Don't worry! Our company's technology is very mature. In fact, I think it can be used for autonomous driving directly. However, the headquarters does not seem to have approved autonomous driving. All vehicles are still required to use assisted driving mode."

In this regard, Chen Yanxiu quite agrees with the approach of Homo Sapiens. After all, the current self-driving technology still has some shortcomings and can easily arouse public concerns.

He expressed his thoughts: "Although the company's chip technology is powerful, autonomous driving seems to require advanced vehicle radar, right? I have seen that many car companies' tests are conducted in a very ideal environment. When it comes to real In the driving environment, it is difficult for the on-board computer to cope with all emergencies.”

"You're right, but our department has a different solution."

"Huh?" Chen Yanxiu was confused: "How do you solve it?" Suddenly he reacted: "Haha, if it involves confidentiality, just pretend that I didn't ask."

The car stopped in front of the zebra crossing.

Zhao Jingcai smiled and replied: "There is no confidentiality involved. Even if you tell it, other car companies will not be able to imitate it."

At this time, Chen Yanxiu also became interested: "Oh? What is the method?"

"You guys got smart bracelets, right?"

"Smart bracelet?" Chen Yanxiu raised his hand, revealing the black smart bracelet: "Is there any mystery in this?"

Zhao Jingcai explained: "All employee bracelets and mobile phones have their own positioning function. Similarly, all vehicles running internally also have their own positioning function. We use this positioning function to achieve autonomous driving."

"In other words, the company can determine everyone's location through bracelets and mobile phones?"

"That's right."

Chen Yanxiu suddenly thought of a question: "What if I forget to bring it? Or the bracelet and mobile phone are out of battery?"

"No, there is an automatic voice reminder device at the door of your residence. Once it is detected that you go out without your mobile phone bracelet, the system will automatically issue a voice reminder."

The car detected that the red light reading returned to zero, then started the motor and continued to move forward.

"As for the lack of power, the mobile phone bracelet will also automatically remind you, and the company is equipped with public chargers and shared power banks in various places. It is quite difficult for the mobile phone to run out of power."

"Even if there is really no power and there are no power banks around, there is another solution, which is to walk with someone who has a bracelet and mobile phone, or simply walk on the sidewalk, so that motor vehicles will not threaten you."

But Chen Yanxiu still had doubts: "What if a disobedient child ran onto the motorway without a bracelet, wouldn't it be easy for something to happen?"

"That's why the company doesn't agree to promote autonomous driving immediately!" Zhao Jingcai shrugged helplessly.

In fact, neither of them knew that the Homo sapiens company planned to use pheromones and magnetic field radar to match autonomous driving in the future.

It’s just that because pheromones and magnetic field radar are currently confidential, the autonomous driving project has been hidden.

Although Chen Yanxiu is a little worried about the reliability of autonomous driving, he is still optimistic about this technology as an assisted driving.

"This technology is a good solution in reducing traffic accidents."

"Needless to say, at least speeding, drunk driving, fatigue driving, red light running, overloading, intentional dangerous driving and other situations are directly killed by the assistance system."

Since Homo sapiens launched assisted driving, traffic accidents in cities using this technology have dropped by 99%, leaving only a small number of traffic accidents caused by mechanical failures and wild animals.

Although some car owners complain that assisted driving is too rigid, the company just wants the assistance system to be more rigid.

After all, many people have a devil hidden inside them.

In many car accidents, there are countless accidents caused by drivers losing control of their emotions, especially those who suffer from road rage.

In addition, female drivers who are prone to brain freeze are also at high risk of car accidents.

The existence of assisted driving systems is to reduce human abnormal factors during driving.

Safety is the development direction that cars should pursue.

At present, all the automobile manufacturing subsidiaries of Homo sapiens have put a lot of effort into various safety measures.

For the Homo sapiens company, the life of every employee is actually the company's property. In order to protect these properties that can continuously work for the company, it is also a reasonable strategy to specialize in some safety cars.

With the assisted driving system, Zhao Jingcai dared to chat while driving.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at its destination.

Zhao Jingcai got out of the car, picked up his suitcase, and pointed to the residential building not far away: "Here we are, the building next to the crocodile statue in front is yours."

Chen Yanxiu took a look around and found that the exteriors of the buildings here all looked the same. Fortunately, there were numbered neon signs hanging above the buildings.

Moreover, at the entrance of each residential building, a statue of an animal will be placed, and some different fruit trees will be planted around it to make it easier for residents to find their way around.

Liu Meizhu held her little daughter in her arms and came to the bronze statue of the Malayan crocodile. After posing, she took a selfie.

"Let's go, we have to buy daily necessities later." Chen Yanxiu took his son and walked towards the door of the residential building with Zhao Jingcai.
