Chapter 203: Live Streaming of Autonomous Driving Road Tests
About 15 kilometers south of Shenkeng Hotel, it is located on the north bank of Pujiang River.
On a highway leading to the Shenkeng Hotel, there were a number of special groups of people standing on both sides and on some of the surrounding building domes. They overlooked the whole place, looked around, and wore wireless communication headsets.
I saw a helicopter slowly passing by in the sky...
These people are from the Ministry of National Security, and they want to ensure the safety of the entire driverless test route leading to the Shenkeng Hotel. This shows that the country's safety level for Ye Hua has been continuously raised again and again.
He is not only an entrepreneur, but also a rare technological genius. This kind of talent is priceless in any country.
The country pays more attention to the protection of top talents than some people imagine. According to legend, in those days, even dietary supplies needed to be tested, and even the toothpicks used had to be tested and confirmed to be safe before use. There were even a batch of
The professional health team is only responsible for Qian Lao's dietary safety.
This shows the protection of talents, especially talents of the century like Mr. Qian.
The country's security protection for Ye Hua may not be as high as that of scientists like Mr. Qian, but his importance has become more and more important than before.
At the same time, on a road on the north bank of the Pujiang River, a large group of people gathered together. There were reporters, staff, and security personnel in public, with faces from home and abroad. Almost more than a hundred people gathered together.
.
At this moment, a live broadcast is taking place here. Thousands of people are watching in the Shenkeng Hotel conference hall 15 kilometers away. People from all over the world who are paying attention to the live broadcast of this calibration conference are also watching.
"Debug that coil...and this sensor is not working. No need to test it, just replace it." Ye Hua was surrounded by cars, with a small screwdriver between his teeth. He personally went into battle to broadcast the transformation and transformation live to the world.
Debugging self-driving cars.
This was also the first time that he showed his engineering skills in front of the world. He skillfully removed a sensor component module, looked at it and said casually: "Whose accessory is this? It's terrible."
As soon as these words came out, a foreigner at the scene was frightened and broke out in sweat.
At this time, a technician said: "This is TI's sensor."
It’s a great touch, but the CEO of Texas Instruments who was far away at the Shenkeng Hotel conference was very embarrassed. It can be said to be extremely embarrassing. After all, he is an industry giant with a resounding brand. In front of the whole world and the industry’s live broadcast, his own products were so
There was a wave of diss, which is not a good thing. The ti boss's face was a bit gloomy. Most likely, after the person in charge in front returned, he would not be able to eat and walked away.
At the scene, a large number of sensor suppliers immediately came forward to recommend themselves. This was an excellent advertising opportunity, and all of them were very attentive.
"Meas? American products? Forget it, let's try German products. Are there any German products?" Ye Hua took a few glances and asked.
Immediately, the Germans at the scene were excited. People from Bosch and Sick immediately offered their sensor components eagerly. In the end, Ye Hua chose Sick's smart sensor products for replacement.
The Germans were very excited, and their favorable impression of Ye Hua immediately soared. This was not a matter of changing components, the brand name was out, and the advantage in competition was self-evident.
In fact, meas is actually not bad, and ti is not bad either.
But the careful Ye Hua did it on purpose. Where are the Germans? That's Europe. The country's westward expansion strategy and the Silk Road are to open up transcontinental trade in the Eurasian continent.
It is much better to raise one hand to a German than to raise another hand to an American.
After installing it, Ye Hua debugged it for a while, nodded with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up, saying: "Classic German craftsmanship, praise!"
The Germans suddenly became happy.
In fact, the Americans also made a lot of money, because the car tested was an American car, and it was a Tesla electric car. Tesla Motors invested in building a factory in the commercial capital just two years ago, and Elon Musk said it at the previous meeting.
After raising his hand, Ye Hua still wanted to repay the kindness, so he chose Tesla this time.
Competition in hard power and hard technology is certainly the core, but no one these days believes that it really depends on hard power.
When choosing the test car, the major automobile giants were rushing to promote their own brand cars. They told Ye Hua a lot about how good and excellent they were, and even added some historical and cultural details.
Ye Hua also deeply agreed, and the boss was very happy.
Then Ye Hua silently chose Tesla Motors.
Then again, only Ye Hua dared to play like this and live broadcast modifications. How much technical confidence did he have to dare to do this?
There is no doubt that everyone is looking forward to it.
"Remove the lidar from the car, it's not needed." Ye Hua instructed the technicians who were cooperating with him. Tesla is also working on driverless autonomous driving technology. The car itself is a driverless car, but due to the
The recognition technology and artificial intelligence technology are not up to standard, and they still cannot drive normally on the road.
The scene and many people in the industry who followed the live broadcast were shocked when they heard what Ye Hua said. Lidar is an important component of intelligent connected cars. Most self-driving cars rely on extremely expensive lidar. Remove this module.
How else to play?
At this time, Ye Hua seemed to have expected that many people had such an idea. When the staff uninstalled and modified the module, he stood aside and looked at the camera and said: "The AI currently on the market is all based on the depth of big data.
Learning relies on big data to do small tasks; Coastline's artificial intelligence technology is small data to do big tasks."
After pausing for a moment, he added to the live broadcast camera: "...and this means that many of the original hardware components can be cut off, which greatly saves costs. Whether it is an automobile manufacturer or a consumer car owner, just cutting off this lidar can
This will save the cost of each unmanned self-driving car by 100,000 yuan in the future. I said at the AI Conference that future products must be more and more affordable and high-quality, and products with the same level of knowledge content must be better than before.
Cheaper and more affordable.”
In about ten minutes, the basic module components were completed. Ye Hua immediately entered the car to debug and search, and a camera followed him into the car.
In the passenger seat, the audience saw a PHC host placed on the seat. Many integrated lines were connected to the components of the car. The interior of the car seemed extremely unergonomic.
Apart from anything else, this console definitely cannot be left in such a Buddhist-like position in the passenger seat.
So, isn’t this the reason for this calibration system planning conference? In the future, this set of vehicle PHC system modules should be placed in the space of the car. Everyone has discussed it and established the standard. When it is produced in the future, it will be 4.0 or something like that.
The factory produces and manufactures according to this standard, and the same applies to other modules, etc.
As for now, these are not important, and it is not a big problem to plug an on-board PHC into the car. Compared with a car, it does not take up a lot of space.
Twenty minutes later, all the retrieval and debugging were completed. People watched Ye Huaxiu's technical demonstration for more than 30 minutes. The most anticipated moment finally arrived.
"Boss, why don't you let me do it?" At this time, when preparing for a test ride, a technician from Coastline Company came to Ye Hua.
"No need, there is nothing more convincing than my personal test drive. The technical issues are correct and the car cannot be turned over. If I don't come in person, it means I lack confidence." Ye Hua rejected his suggestion. It was true.
But as the founder and soul of Coastline Company...in the end, he still failed to overturn his boss.
By about 17:00 in the afternoon, everything was ready. Thousands of spectators in the conference hall and tens of thousands of viewers watching the live broadcast could not take their eyes away, because what was about to happen might be a moment of landmark change for the global automobile industry.
It's a moment that will go down in history.
In the car, Ye Hua fastened his seat belt, glanced at the camera in front of him, and then took his hands back from the steering wheel to show that he was not manually controlling the car.
"Xiaoyin, go to Shenkeng Hotel." Ye Hua said, and as soon as he finished speaking, an electronic synthesized voice sounded: "Yes, Master, do you authorize the hosting of autonomous driving?"
"Yes, you drive." Ye Hua said calmly.
"Autopilot mode is now online..."
A holographic projection screen immediately appeared in the window in front of the car, and the windshield in front seemed to be an independent smart display screen.
In fact, it is the result of the floating projection screen fitting the perspective of the driver's seat looking forward.
Suddenly, the large screen was divided into a main screen and several small screens shrunk to one side. The cameras at each corner of the car's exterior received the live images transmitted back from the viewing angle, and PHC's artificial intelligence system began to identify them.
If it is traditional artificial intelligence, then if you want to identify road condition information, you will need a large amount of data to support it, and you will also need complete road traffic infrastructure as auxiliary driving, road signs, lidar systems on the road, and intelligent network connections.
Wait, only with the support of a series of data can you travel smoothly.
Too much big data and many auxiliary devices are needed to provide support. The more things there are, the more likely it is to cause bad things, and you will face a problem. Then you may face a small obstacle that causes autonomous driving to stagnate, such as insufficient road signs on the road.
It is clear that if he cannot receive feedback from these big data, something may go wrong. He may not leave at all. If he suddenly stops on the road, it will cause a series of rear-end collisions.
But the artificial intelligence developed by Ye Hua is completely different. It can do big tasks with small data. It has the ability of self-emotional logical analysis and understands cause and effect. This is completely different from the artificial intelligence of other companies or institutions.
For example, the road signs have disappeared, but it can still analyze cause and effect relationships, which means that cars driven by this set of artificial intelligence technology can travel on many roads, not just highways, but also mountainous and wild roads, because it can
It's possible to accomplish a large task with very little data, and it's the right choice.
After successfully switching to autonomous driving mode, under the attention of more than a hundred people at the scene, the attention of thousands of people in the conference hall, and the comments of thousands of viewers who followed the live broadcast of the conference...
