"Mr. Meng, after sending out the invitation, seven F1 racing teams have accepted our invitation and sent a total of nine professional F1 racing drivers to participate in the challenge. Four of them have won the F1 world championship, including the new world-class car king.
Miston!" Assistant Deng Yun said in the office.
"Let the propaganda department work harder on this matter. The whole world must be aware of it by then!" Meng Xiaobai warned.
"Well, we have started to publish the press release now." After Deng Yun finished speaking, she asked curiously, "Mr. Meng, can our driverless car really outperform professional racing drivers?"
Every professional racing driver invited has a very high appearance fee. And all the expenses for this event will be borne by Blue Star Motors. If it goes wrong, it will probably become the laughing stock of the world!
"Of course there is no problem. Even the world's car king will be defeated by our driverless technology!" Meng Xiaobai said confidently.
…
Blue Star Automobile Super Factory, the super factory has been initially completed, and government departments have also passed the acceptance inspection.
In the super factory, Meng Xiaobai is mobilizing a group of professional automotive designers and mechanical engineers to cooperate with him in building a Blue Star super new energy racing car.
It is definitely not feasible to use the civilian version of Blue Star car to compete with professional F1 teams. The limitations of car performance hinder the performance of the driverless system, so Meng Xiaobai wants to build a Blue Star super racing car within this period of time.
.
From the body appearance to the motor structure, everything was designed by Meng Xiaobai, assisted by designers, and Jin Mu was responsible for reviewing and proposing modifications.
The manufacturing of this super racing car started when Blue Star Motors planned to submit the certification of L5 fully autonomous driving technology. It has been more than a month now. All components have been basically manufactured, and we are just waiting for it to be unveiled to the public.
…
At the Magic City International Circuit, the professional teams and racers invited by Deep Space Technology came here a week in advance to adjust the track and train.
Behind these professional teams are internationally renowned automobile manufacturers.
For example, Mercedes-Benz, McLaren, Ferrari, Renault, etc., they sponsor these teams and form the World Formula One Championship (referred to as F1), which is known as one of the world's three major sports events along with the Olympic Games and the World Cup Football Tournament.
!
Every racing car participating is the pinnacle work of the automobile manufacturing industry costing hundreds of millions of euros! And those who can compete in F1 events are the world's top professional drivers.
And now, these professional drivers have been invited by Deep Space Technology to drive top-level racing cars to compete against Blue Star's driverless racing cars!
When the news was released, the world's attention to cars and racing was focused on the International Circuit in Shanghai. This was not only a challenge to car driving caused by artificial intelligence technology, but also the first car debut of Blue Star Motors, a subsidiary of Deep Space Technology. What will happen in the end?
How, everyone wants to know!
Therefore, before the official start of the race, the media has already blocked the circuit and the hotel where the professional drivers are staying.
In the racing track, an intense training race had just ended.
British F1 racing driver Miston took off his helmet and looked at the track with a relaxed expression. Just now, he drove the car for dozens of laps, and his performance was very stable, and he even broke a small record.
Miston now plays for the Mercedes-Benz team. Not only was he the F1 world champion last year, but he has also won six world championships. He is known as the new generation of world car king! He has broken world records many times, and his strength and
Popularity is skyrocketing!
"Miston, you are in really good shape!" behind him, another professional racing driver, Roberge, exclaimed.
Roberge is also a Mercedes-Benz driver and has also won the world championship. He is also one of the drivers invited this time.
"Not bad." Miston smiled slightly, "Besides the competition, it is quite interesting to play this kind of relaxing racing car. What's more, there are people willing to pay."
The appearance fees for these people are no less than those of international superstars. In this competition, Blue Star Motors has spent a lot of money.
"Don't underestimate them. The boss said that their driverless technology should not be underestimated," Roberge emphasized.
"Don't worry, I will never underestimate any opponent, even if the opponent is artificial intelligence!" As a professional driver who has won the world championship six times, Miston will never be arrogant. He will go all out in every game.
.
"What artificial intelligence, what autonomous driving! I will prove that humans are stronger than artificial intelligence on the track!" Miston put on his helmet again and started the next training session.
…
At the entrance of an international hotel, reporters who had been crouching for a long time finally caught a well-known racing driver, Austrian racing driver Witt from the Red Bull Racing Team. Witt was the second-ranked player on the invitation list after Miston.
, he has won the Formula One World Championship four times in a row!
As soon as Witt appeared, he was surrounded by reporters, both Chinese and foreign.
"Mr. Witt, do you think driverless cars can beat professional drivers?" someone asked.
Witt seemed to be in a good mood and did not reject the interview. He said: "I think driverless cars are more suitable for driving on uninhabited roads in the countryside. On the track, it can't even eat the exhaust from my racing car!"
An interview about Witt was immediately published in the media, "Champion driver Witt: Unmanned driving will lead to defeat!"
Not only the Chinese media, but also the media in the United States, Europe, island countries and other countries have reported it. Regardless of the victory or defeat, at least the driverless challenge held by Blue Star Motors to challenge professional drivers has gained worldwide recognition.
focus on.
In European betting companies, there are already predictions for this game. Among them, those who think Miston will win account for 40%, those who think Witt will win account for 20%, and those who think Roberge will win account for 20%.
10%, the other drivers combined totaled a little more than 20%, but only less than 10% thought the Blue Star driverless car could win!
And according to the survey, the reason why these people placed bets was because they saw the high odds of driverless driving and chose it with the mentality of taking a gamble.
In fact, less than 5% of people think Blue Star driverless cars can beat professional racing drivers!
…
"Assembly is complete!" At the Blue Star Automobile Super Factory, a Zanxin Blue Star new energy super racing car came out!
The blue body painting adopts the color of the earth itself. The streamlined outer contour can reduce air resistance to the greatest extent. The overall structure is also designed based on aerodynamics, and every component is professionally manufactured.
Especially the engine system. F1 racing cars all use special engines with powerful performance and sufficient horsepower. The Blue Star New Energy Super Racing Car uses electric motors!
Yes, insufficient power of the motor is a common problem for automobile motors in the world. Secondly, battery life and energy output are also a technical barrier. But in front of the Blue Star New Energy Super Racing Car, these problems are no longer a problem.
"Bluestar 1-22 super motor, equipped with deep space technology automotive lithium-air battery, has reached the peak level of fuel performance in terms of horsepower and endurance!" Guan Yang said proudly, "I never thought that one day, we would
You can also build your own racing car, and it also has a motor engine!"
"I think we should give it a name." Xie Lingbo said, "At any rate, this is the first super racing car we have built."
Everyone looked at Meng Xiaobai. He was the main designer of this car and he should be the one to name it.
"Name? Hmm..." Meng Xiaobai touched his chin and thought: "This is a racing car. Its characteristic is that it is fast. With our Blue Star brand, why not just call it Extreme Blue Lightning."
"Blue Star - extremely blue lightning! This is a good name!" Xie Lingbo nodded, "When it drives, it looks like a blue lightning, vivid and vivid."
"Then, let's call its on-board intelligent system Lightning." Meng Xiaobai said, waking up its on-board intelligent system.
Blue Star Automobile's in-vehicle intelligent system is based on Deep Space Technology's intelligent voice assistant and adds functions related to autonomous driving and detection.
Because of the existence of car-grade smart chips, this car can still perform driving operations as usual even without a network. Not only is the security of the hardware, but also in terms of software, the on-board intelligent system uses a special network security protection system to protect
No hacker will remotely invade and control the vehicle's intelligent system.
"Lightning, drive to the test site." Meng Xiaobai gave the order.
"Yes, it is expected to arrive in five minutes." The Ultra Blue Lightning started automatically, and it drove through the established passage and onto the test road outside the factory.
"Are you all ready? Start the speed test!"
Everything went well during the testing of Ultra Blue Lightning, with only a few minor issues, which were quickly corrected.
In fact, in Xiaowanzi's simulation calculations, this Extreme Blue Lightning has been tested tens of billions of times, and there will be no problems.
…
The 15th arrived as scheduled. The day was sunny and windy, with no clouds in the sky.
A large number of media and spectators came to the Magic City International Circuit. Car enthusiasts, racing enthusiasts and artificial intelligence technology practitioners from all over the world are paying attention to this showdown.
On the Internet, fans have been arguing for several days. Some people think that Blue Star Motors loves to hype too much. OICA has already rejected their L5 fully autonomous driving technology certification, but they still don't admit it.
Others support Deep Space Technology and Blue Star Automobile, believing that driverless technology will eventually surpass human driving. Now they are only waiting for the results of the competition to be announced to know the rights and wrongs of both parties.
The official race starts at 14:00, and in the morning, the drivers are practicing on the track.
Blue Star Motors, on the other hand, was holding a press conference.
One is to promote this grand event of driverless cars competing against professional racing drivers, and the other is to announce some of the technological achievements that Blue Star Motors has achieved.
In front of the media, spokesman Hou Yuquan said: "We have confirmed that we have L5 fully autonomous driving technology. In addition, Blue Star Motors also already has high-performance automotive motors and automotive lithium-air batteries developed by Deep Space New Energy.
The energy density, power output, and safety guarantee are much stronger than existing car batteries, and the overall performance is no less than that of high-end fuel vehicles!"
“The one taking part in the event today is our specially manufactured Blue Star new energy super racing car, Ultra Blue Lightning!”
"Dr. Hou, can you tell us more information about Ultra Blue Lightning?" the reporter asked.
"The Ultra Blue Lightning car will officially debut before the race starts, and we will announce its specific information after the race."
