Chapter 472: Driverless Experience
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, at 12 o'clock at noon, the first 1,000 places to be released soon appeared!
"Connection successful!"
On the holographic screen in front of Chu Feng, the one thousand test quotas all turned green, which also meant that these thousand people were waiting for the quotas to be released in real time.
However, what many people don’t know is that although the announced quotas are distributed fairly, if someone can collect all the data, they can find that none of the first batch of quotas issued has previously opposed driverless driving!
Those who didn't get a spot, some shook their heads and sighed, some cursed, but no one wanted to sell Origin Cars!
It is easy to move from frugality to luxury. It is difficult to move from luxury to frugality. It is difficult for people who have enjoyed Origin cars to like other cars again.
As a first-come-first-served city near the water, Hailing City also officially launched driverless online car-hailing services at 12 noon!
I can’t afford a car at Origin, but it’s not a problem to get a taxi!
Han Li is a flight attendant and does not need to board the plane until three o'clock this afternoon. She lives in the south of the city and needs to take a taxi for nearly half an hour to reach Hailing Airport.
But today, Han Li directly dragged her best friend out together.
"Lili, why are you going out so early!"
I originally planned to take a beauty sleep and dress up before boarding the plane, but now it was better, Han Li pulled me out before twelve o'clock.
"Today is the first time that driverless online ride-hailing has been launched. Don't you want to give it a try?"
Han Li automatically ignored her best friend's confused expression and kept chattering.
Many girls may have imagined that as a flight attendant, they can fly everywhere, have an easy job, and have a high salary. However, only when they actually come into contact with this industry do they realize that the truth is not that simple!
Just like them, they are just ordinary flight attendants, with a monthly basic salary of only 2,000, plus a flight subsidy of 25/hour, which means that the maximum monthly salary is about 5,000 to 6,000.
Coupled with some subsidies such as car and house subsidies, it is not bad if you don’t have eight or nine thousand a month.
However, their expenses are also high, so it is difficult to save money, especially if you are an intern!
Moreover, because flights are not fixed, many times they have to arrive in the middle of the night!
There were no buses at that time and the only option was to take a taxi, which was expensive and safety could not be guaranteed.
My best friend and I just wanted to go back to our room to rest quietly, and had no intention of chatting with the driver.
Moreover, there were several times when the driver of the taxi they took was eager to step on the accelerator in order to save time. The speed was not to say fast, it was flying too low!
Several times, Han Li almost thought she saw Naihe Bridge!
But now, Origin's driverless online ride-hailing service is officially launched. The fare that originally cost nearly 100 for 20 kilometers is only over 50!
The price was completely cheaper by half, which is why Han Li was so excited to take her best friend to experience it.
As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, Han Li, who had already booked the route, asked her assistant to help her get the order!
"I grabbed it! The car is coming soon!" Han Li was so excited that she held her best friend's hand.
My best friend was dragged around by Han Li, looking helpless.
"Okay, my hand is almost broken by you..." My best friend looked up at the bright sun above her head, and she was so basked in the sun that she didn't even have the thought to complain.
In just about three minutes, an Origin taxi that was put on the market appeared in front of Han Li and the others.
"Number 9527 is at your service. Please place the suitcase in the trunk."
The car with the Origin logo spray-painted accurately stopped in front of the two of them. Seeing the real Origin car for the first time, both of them were attracted by the shape of the Origin car. It was so handsome!
After being reminded for the second time by the smart assistant, the two hurriedly placed the suitcases and finally got into the car.
"Hello customer, please fasten your seat belt. The vehicle is about to depart. The destination is Hailing Airport. The estimated arrival time is 12:37... Please make plans in advance!"
Han Li and the two looked curiously at the interior of the car in front of them. The spacious interior space was not crowded at all.
The unique internal purification and cooling system isolates the hot climate outside, and the smart tinted glass softens the dazzling sunlight, making the inside and outside seem to be two worlds.
The most important thing is that there is really no driver in the driver's seat. This feeling is really special!
"It's quite stable."
My bestie, who was dizzy from the sun, seemed to come to life again, and she watched the vehicle slowly start to move away in surprise.
Smoothness is the biggest feeling, and the method is that for an experienced driver who has been driving for decades, there is no feeling of jerkiness.
To be honest, there was no driver in front, so the two people who were used to having a driver were a little skeptical. However, Origin's driverless technology conquered them both.
Moreover, there are not many drivers here making noises and asking questions. Based on this, the two of them have a higher evaluation of this self-driving car!
The owner of a BMW passing by was immediately attracted by the beautiful shape of the Origin car. The streamlined body without rearview mirrors is something that only Origin cars can do nowadays.
However, when the car was parked at a zebra crossing and waiting for a red light, the BMW owner inadvertently looked at the driver's seat of the car, and the hair on his body stood up!
There is no one in the driver's seat of the origin car waiting at the red light!
In the back seat, you can vaguely see two beautiful beauties taking selfies with their mobile phones!
"Midnight Train"..."Death Comes"...Many horror movies about cars flashed through the minds of BMW owners.
"Beauty! There's something weird about your car!" Looking at the scorching sun above his head, the BMW owner yelled at Han Li and the others.
"It's okay, this is the origin of self-driving online ride-hailing, it's amazing, isn't it?"
I opened the car window and said something, but the rolling heat wave made my best friend urge me to close the car window.
As soon as the light turned green, the Origin car started off smoothly and left without wasting any time. However, the BMW owner remained stunned in place, waiting for the car behind him to honk his horn before reacting.
Suddenly, the BMW owner felt that the car he had spent hundreds of thousands on was no longer good...
Han Li, who was amused, looked proud, as if the car belonged to them.
"When I get rich, I will also buy an Origin car!" Lying on the comfortable seat, Han Li nodded involuntarily at her best friend's words.
Although they already have driver's licenses, they still don't have the money to buy a car. However, they really have no interest in driving. So they might as well buy a car with driverless driving, which simply comes with an excellent driver who provides unconditional service all day long.
!
What a deal!
"Thank you for your love, little master. I hope you can take Yuanyuan home soon!" The on-board intelligent system also responded in agreement.
Chapter completed!
