The interior of Yibo Heavy Industry is very large.
A professional circular track was also built for testing vehicles.
Here, you can hear the sound of cars speeding past.
The whistling sound continued.
A total of eleven Art Expo cars are running here day and night.
People keep parking.
This is the actual mileage of the car.
During the whole process, various problems with the car will be detected and then solved.
In addition to roads, there are also various testing sites.
Such as steep slope test and so on.
It can be said to be a relatively complete testing site.
A straight runway that is three kilometers long and wide enough to carry out many tests.
A group of people entered here.
On the runway, there were five Yibo cars parked.
These are just engineering vehicles, not production cars.
"Master Zhong, these cars have been improved for autonomous driving. You just need to load your autonomous driving program."
Yang Qi introduced.
With a hint of pride on his face, he said: "Each of our vehicles is equipped with six laser radars."
I have to say, this really cost a lot of money.
If you want to know how many cars there are, there are only two lidars.
The most is four.
Now he has upgraded it to six laser radars at once, making it one of the models with the most laser radars on the market.
LiDAR is not cheap at the moment.
Zhong Jiande nodded.
In fact, for autonomous driving technology controlled by artificial intelligence, even cameras are sufficient, because its analysis database is the same as that of the naked eye, rather than their current recognition methods.
But with lidar, it's naturally better.
Since Yang Qi and his team have already undergone the transformation, it naturally saves a lot of time.
"Please check whether the conditions are met."
Zhong Jiande gestured.
The engineers under him immediately got into one of the cars to check it out.
Autonomous driving requires the installation of a lot of motors, such as the steering wheel, and an electronic control system controlled by autonomous driving.
Not only that, things like brakes, accelerators, etc. all need to be modified.
Of course, this refers to the later installation of autonomous driving technology.
Some of these cars come with self-driving capabilities installed right out of the factory, while others are designed to exist.
After more than ten minutes, the inspection was completed.
"Mr. Zhong, no problem."
One of the engineers said.
Zhong Jiande said: "Let's import our autonomous driving module."
From beginning to end, Zheng Chao and the others just stood by and watched without saying a word.
There was a strong look of disdain on their faces.
Importing the autonomous driving module only takes a few minutes.
To avoid being seen, the engineer fiddled with it on a notebook.
In fact, Zhou Xianxian hidden in Zhou Qiang’s personal smart terminal has already completed the introduction of the autonomous driving technology module and can control the car freely.
"Dad, do you want to start the car and scare them?"
"Hmph, you dare to look down on our autonomous driving."
Zhou Xianxian displayed it in text form on Zhou Qiang’s personal smart terminal.
The personal smart terminal is like a smart watch, and no one doubts the personal smart terminal on Zhou Qiang's wrist.
Zhou Qiang smiled.
This Zhou Xianxian is really smart.
Know that the other party has bad intentions.
Zhou Qiang shook his head.
"All right!"
Zhou Xianxian looked a little bored and aggrieved.
When the import was complete, the engineer put away his notebook.
“Is that all?”
Yang Qi was a little skeptical.
After all, it will definitely take a lot of time to deal with the people from Baogao Company.
Zhong Jiande smiled faintly: "Of course, our autonomous driving technology is not that complicated."
At this time, Zheng Chao, who had been silent, said, "Mr. Yang, this time we came here mainly to confirm the compatibility of our autonomous driving technology with your Yibo car. How about this, we take this opportunity to compare our autonomous driving with that of Mr. Zhong?"
Yang Qi looked at Zhong Jiande.
Zhong Jiande nodded indifferently and said, "It's good to compare them so that you, Mr. Yang, can identify the parallel imports."
Zheng Chao was not angry, because in the end it all depended on the technology.
"Go and drive our test car over here."
Half of this batch of engineering vehicles are equipped with Baogao’s unmanned driving technology.
So, they don't need to prepare much.
A car drove out from not far away, they checked it, and then took out their laptops and started working again.
They will need to make minor modifications to the driverless technology.
In fact, Yang Qi was happy to see the two tigers fighting each other.
His purpose in bringing the two sides together was to let them both show their real skills.
In fact, Yang Qi is inclined towards Baogao Company in his heart, after all, it is the top unmanned driving technology company in the country.
Zhong Jiande's technology is great, but his company is a new one, and there is a lot of uncertainty. Self-driving technology is too important, and if something goes wrong, it will make the headlines, so he can't afford to be careless.
Zhou Qiang crossed his arms and watched Zheng Chao and the others busying themselves, finding it interesting.
How powerful is our own driverless technology.
Zhou Qiang is clear.
Look at yesterday’s test, it’s so awesome.
They are challenging it now, which is simply courting death.
The technology of both sides is not at the same level.
"We are ready."
After spending more than ten minutes, Zheng Chao said confidently.
Yang Qi said: "Let's test the active braking first."
Strictly speaking, this is also a branch of unmanned driving technology.
Autonomous driving is a system.
Both sides quickly set up test model vehicles.
Yang Qi really invested a lot of money. These car models came from abroad and are professional test model cars.
Some companies use cards to draw the shape of a car, but this is actually not rigorous.
"Let's go first."
Zheng Chao, who was eager to show off, spoke first.
Of course Zhong Jiande didn't compete with him and made a gesture of invitation.
The first is 30 kilometers.
Active braking means that when a vehicle senses a car that is slower than itself while driving, it will brake without the driver having braked.
Zhong Jiande rolled his eyes as he watched the other driver climb into the cab.
Still need personnel to operate in advance?
The test started quickly. The car moved forward at a speed of 30 kilometers. When it approached the test model car, the driver did not brake. Then the active braking system intervened and applied an emergency brake.
"good!"
Of course the vehicle braked firmly.
Zheng Chao and the others shouted happily, clenching their fists in celebration.
Next is 50 kilometers.
This time he braked again, but he was already very close to the rear of the car.
I have to say that being able to brake at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour is a very good achievement.
After all, it is just an auxiliary system, a supplement for when the driver is careless.
“See? This is our technical strength.”
Zheng Chao sneered, his nostrils almost pointing to the sky.
Zhong Jiande smiled and said, "You guys continue."
Active braking also includes the ghost-peek feature.
30 kilometers, braked.
But at 50 kilometers per hour, the car failed to brake at all and smashed the paper child crossing the road to pieces.
In fact, this result is already excellent in active braking.
This is the case with the active brakes of many luxury cars.
"It's your turn." Zheng Chao smiled faintly, with an expression that showed he was sure to win.
Zhong Jiande waved his hand and said, "Let's just go straight to the point."
“120 km test.”
“Starting from 30 kilometers is something only people with low confidence do.”
This Zhong Jiande is so arrogant.
Yang Qi and the others were stunned.
Zheng Chao sneered and said, "You are overestimating your own abilities and are just making people laugh at you."
Currently, only a very small number of cars dare to be tested at 80 kilometers, so 120 kilometers, are you serious?
Yang Qi said, "Mr. Zhong, would you consider this?"
"No, just 120 kilometers."
Zhong Jiande shook his head and rejected Yang Qi's kindness.
In this case, Yang Qi did not insist. He also wanted to see what kind of confidence Mr. Zhong had.
This place is long enough, so the car quickly reached a speed of 120 kilometers per hour after accelerating.
Then, ahead, a parked model car appeared.
After the car entered the dangerous braking distance, the speed and the driver did not respond, and the active braking system intervened to brake. It is actually similar to real-life driving, so enough braking space is reserved.
With a sharp brake sound, the car successfully stopped about two meters away from the other car.
Zheng Chao and the others widened their eyes.
"How is this possible?"
120 kilometers of active braking.
Look at how smooth their braking is, it’s even better than their 30km test.
"Impossible, the driver must have stepped on the brakes in advance."
Zheng Chao yelled.
The driver was from Yibo Car, but he was trusted.
Zhong Jiande laughed and said, "You can send someone to open it."
Zheng Chao had an ugly expression on his face. He simply didn't believe that there was a company with such advanced technology.
"Xiao Wang, you go."
Zheng Chao quickly sent out one of his drivers.
Xiao Wang didn't hesitate to get into the car. He turned around and quickly accelerated to 120 kilometers per hour. He had no intention of stopping. He kept pressing the accelerator and let the car continue to climb, even reaching 130 kilometers per hour.
But at about forty meters, the automatic brake responded.
During emergency braking, the accelerator was disconnected.
Again, it braked just over two meters away.
Not to mention Zheng Chao's ugly face, even Xiao Wang who was driving also had a bad face.
He had secretly increased the speed to 10 kilometers, but the car still braked.
In comparison, their barely 50km performance was nothing to brag about.
Yang Qi's eyes also lit up.
Just from this test, you can tell who has better skills.
He was totally excited.
The 120-kilometer active braking range alone is a gimmick and is unique in the market.
This will undoubtedly add a lot of advantages to his Yibo car.
"Mr. Zhong, your skills are very good, very good..."
"No, it's just wonderful."
"I have examined so many driverless technologies, and none of them is necessarily better than yours."
Yang Qi has become a little speechless.
Zhong Jiande was holding a cigarette in his mouth at this time, and he said in a carefree manner: "Boss Yang, driverless technology cannot be limited to such tests. It is a comprehensive system, such as the recognition of two-way streets, three-lane roads, four-lane roads, traffic lights, crosswalks, and intersecting roads, as well as how to deal with complex traffic conditions, such as merging, changing lanes, and overtaking."
"So, I suggest that these small tests are unnecessary."
“We really play for real.”
“On-road testing.”
"Boss Yang, you must be qualified for the road test, right?"
Yang Qi nodded and said, "We have paid a 20 million yuan test deposit, and we can go on the road for testing at any time. However, it is limited to Ji'an Avenue, which has less traffic and pedestrian flow."
Zhong Jiande glanced at Zheng Chao and said, "Manager Zheng, right? Why don't we compare the actual tests? We only need to run a round on the roads outside to know whose driverless technology is better, right?"
Zheng Chao was confused.
What about the promised driverless test? Isn’t it conducted in a closed environment?
Road test?
No matter how confident he is in his company's technology, he wouldn't dare to do this.
What’s more, what Mr. Zhong just said may not be achieved even with the current LV5 unmanned driving technology.
Zhong Jiande sneered, a look of disdain appeared on his face, and said: "Why, you don't dare to play?"
Zheng Chao's face turned red, but he didn't dare to respond.
At present, Baogao Company has only tested its driverless car on the Guinness dedicated test road in the United States, and the results can only be described as average, not even excellent.
When it comes to real practice, their technology is still far from enough.
Baogao is a top company in China, but it still lags behind Google, Mercedes-Benz, and Tesla. These companies don’t dare to conduct road tests easily. How could they dare?
"Hehe, stop bluffing here. Do you dare?"
Zheng Chao's eyes rolled and he sneered.
He was very calm. The other party was just trying to scare him. He was also a paper tiger.
Zhong Jiande laughed and said, "Of course we dare."
It’s not that I dare, but that I have already done it.
They tested it directly yesterday without even needing approval. This is absolutely audacious.
Anyway, they refused to admit the testing. They hid the two cars and were not afraid of punishment from relevant departments as they had no evidence.
"Mr. Yang, let's apply for a road test."
There was also a gleam of light in Yang Qi's eyes.
If unmanned driving can be achieved in road tests, it will be a big gimmick.
"good!"
Yibo Company is qualified to conduct the test, so to apply for a road test, you only need to submit a report to the higher authorities.
It was approved in less than half an hour.
Can be tested.
"Mr. Zhong, is this really possible?"
Yang Qi was still skeptical, mainly because domestic companies did not have the technical capabilities to do so.
Generally speaking, only a few large foreign companies have the ability to conduct real unmanned driving tests.
Zhong Jiande said: "Mr. Yang, I have confidence in my driverless technology."
The test is simple.
Just put the car on autopilot to a certain point and then return.
During this process, the robot will enter traffic, see zebra crossings, traffic lights, and various complex road conditions, and even various traffic signs that need to be identified and obeyed. Since this is a real test, all of this is no different from a human driving a car.
To be honest, Yang Qi didn't quite believe that the unmanned driving technology in Zhong Jiangong's hands could do it.
If I could…
Yang Qi knew that for Yibo Auto, it would definitely be a hit.
How cool would it be to have the first truly driverless car?
Amid Yang Qi's eagerness and Zheng Chao and others' sneer and suspicion, the car loaded with the autonomous driving module turned around and accelerated at an incredibly fast speed, and knew how to turn and rushed out of the gate of Yibo Industry.
In the blink of an eye, I merged into the traffic.
This wave of operations left Zheng Chao and his colleagues dumbfounded.
Is this a test car?
I feel like he drives more skillfully than an experienced driver.
Which of the driverless test cars doesn't move forward slowly, bit by bit?
Good job.
The car in front of us not only quickly merged into the traffic flow, but also, like an experienced driver, stepped on the accelerator after completing the lane change, making the car rush out. In the blink of an eye, it overtook again and increased the speed to 80 kilometers.
"Fuck, what the hell."
“Is this unmanned?”
"I'm a 20-year veteran driver, but I can't do such a swift move."
"This operation is so smooth, how could it be unmanned?"
Looking at the car road condition test images sent back by the camera.
Zheng Chao and the others opened their mouths wide.
They are engineers in this field, how could they not know what driverless cars are like?
Their worldview collapsed.
