On the multi-directional speedometer, the Thunderbolt car was parked there quietly.
In front of the traffic lights, the red light was constantly flashing.
Coupled with the traffic sign simulation system on the ground, this made the reporters feel like they were in the exam room with the Thunderbolt car, nervously waiting for the test to come.
According to the passing standard of 90 points for the first subject, in this exam room, even the experienced taxi drivers who have been driving for many years failed the test, showing how harsh and strict this test is!
The audience watching the live broadcast of this test was excited to participate in a historical turning point.
"Everyone, guess how many points the Thunderbolt car will get?"
"My guess is 80, according to the fat official, this can simulate all the road signs in the country. If we take the test, I think we can't get a score of 40 points. "
"Damn, this system is amazing, I feel like the Thunderbolt car is not testing the remote driving function, but testing the driver's license. This reminds me of the scene when I took the test for the first subject, I took the test five times … "
"This test method is clear at a glance, I have to say that our country is getting better and better."
"Subject one, subject two, subject three, it's so vivid, if the Thunderbolt car can pass these tests, then I approve of the remote driving function."
"I approve too!"
…
"Please wait a moment."
The American representative spoke, interrupting the thoughts of many audience members at the scene and the live broadcast.
"American representative, do you have anything to add?" Director Duan Shuangqing nodded, indicating that the test should not start yet.
"Everyone, as a third party monitoring organization, we have a few questions that we want to ask before the test begins."
"First, according to the previous information, the remote driving function is divided into two types: remote driver driving and remote supercomputer driving. So, we want to know which driving mode is in this test? "
"Second, the wireless connection of the remote driving, is the connection strictly in accordance with the network environment of the real road? This is very important, if there is a network repeater installed in the test center, or if there is a wireless network interface for the Thunderbolt car, then we think that this test will not be fair to test whether the remote driving function is good or bad. "
"Third, how far away is the remote driving command center from us? If it is too close, I think it is not in accordance with the real road environment. "
After that, the representative of the United States handed a questioning look to the representative of the Monster Industry.
The media was stunned for a few seconds, then they quickly understood. The reporter quickly explained the meaning of the two questions from the US representative to the audience through the microphone.
When Monster Industries introduced this function, they said that in the early stages, the Thunderbolt car would be controlled remotely by a professional driver. Once the driving habits of these drivers were recorded by the supercomputer, the supercomputer would gradually replace these experienced drivers through the accumulation of large amounts of data and become "virtual drivers".
Now, the driver's seat of the Thunderbolt car was empty. Later, would it be the carefully trained professional driver driving, or the "virtual driver" of the supercomputer driving?
The second issue was public opinion on the Internet. They were discussing the issue of the wireless connection, which had the most functions for long-distance driving.
As everyone knew, the Thunderbolt car could only rely on the 4G network throughout the city to connect to the command center of Monster Industries.
As for the 4G network, there would be disconnection problems or problems with signal strength reduction.
The Thunderbolt car in front of them was about to activate the long-distance driving function, so they could only test the 4G network.
The American representative wanted to confirm this point. If the command center opened the gigabit fiber broadband wireless router to the Thunderbolt car, what would they do? Then what was the point of testing? Sitting in the Swift Thunder and watching a Blu-ray HD movie would be fine.
The third issue was the delay. The farther the distance, the greater the wireless network delay. What if Monster Industries moved the command center nearby? Wouldn't that be cheating?
It had to be said that the American representative's questions were very professional, and they attracted the attention of the media and the audience.
Yes ~
Many reporters nodded in agreement. Only by confirming these questions could the test be perfect.
"The American representative seems to have come prepared." At the Monster Industries representative's seat, Kong Tao looked at Jayne with a smile. "First question, I would like to ask the American representative, which model do you want us to use to meet the requirements of this test?"
"Of course, 'Virtual Driver.' Since the goal of Monster Industries is to replace the driver with a supercomputer, then I think it would be fine to let the supercomputer recognize traffic signs." The American representative, Jayne, put on a selfless expression, but he was laughing in his heart.
On his left and right sat a group of senior technicians from the Tesla Smart Car Laboratory.
These senior technicians had already analyzed that it would be impossible for Monster Industries to replace the driver with a supercomputer in a short time. The Tesla Smart Car Laboratory began research in this area five years ago, but until today, the system developed was still unable to accurately recognize the various traffic signs on the road.
How many months had it been since Monster Industries entered the car field?
"We also think that 'Virtual Driver' is more qualified for this job." Kong Tao nodded and spoke faster. "The answer to the second and third points is no. We have not installed any network relay devices in the vicinity of the command center, and there is no network open to the Thunderbolt car. As for the command center, it is naturally in Zhongyun. "
"If the American representative has doubts, we welcome you to verify."
"We have no more questions." The American representative, Jayne, was full of smiles.
Director Duan Shuangqing announced the start of the test again. As the order was given, the technicians on the side started the test equipment.
"Counting down from ten seconds, please get the relevant testers ready."
"Ten, nine, eight …"
"Five, four, three …"
As the electronically synthesized countdown sounded in their ears, the Thunderbolt car, which was originally parked on the multi-directional speedometer, silently lit up its daytime running lights. At the same time, a circle of green lights flashed in the chrome decorative lines under the car's glass, making it look like a sci-fi movie.
When the countdown ended, the flashing red lights in front of them immediately turned green.
The Thunderbolt car, which was empty, started to rotate its tires in the next moment, and began to speed on the speedometer.
The rollers on the speedometer rotated in tandem with the tires, so the Thunderbolt car maintained its original position while driving.
Five seconds later, the big screen on the side showed that the Thunderbolt car's speed had reached 40 km/h, and the friction between the tires and the rollers was buzzing. Just as everyone was looking around to see where the road signs were, a 60-120 speed limit sign suddenly appeared in front of them.
The Thunderbolt car obviously did not move, but the sign moved closer and closer to the ground, giving people the feeling that the Thunderbolt car was moving forward on the road.
This was the sign moving, and at the same time, everyone quickly recognized this sign. It was a very common speed limit sign on the highway. Many people laughed. The Thunderbolt car only ran for a few seconds before it reached the highway.
"Vroom ~"
The moment the sign appeared, the Thunderbolt car began to accelerate. It took two seconds to go from 40 km/h to 100 km/h, and at the same time, the big screen on the side quickly showed one point.
[Correct judgment, + 1 point!]
[From the appearance of the sign to the acceleration of the reaction time is 0.05 seconds.]
[Past test results, the average reaction time of the driver is 0.88 seconds.]
"Huh?" Director Duan Shuangqing suddenly shivered. Good lord, the reaction time is 20 times faster than the average human. One had to know that these past results were all tested by professional drivers.
The reporters in the media seats also rubbed their eyes and looked at the content on the screen in surprise.
However, before they could calculate the double speed in their hearts, another traffic sign appeared.
This was a triangular sign, and there was a …
What was printed on it?
It took one or two seconds for everyone to see the content of the sign clearly. It was a smoking locomotive.
However, the Thunderbolt car had already lit up its brake lights as soon as the sign appeared. By the time the whistling sound of the whistle sounded in the hall, the Thunderbolt car had already stopped in place for a few seconds. Accompanied by the whistle, a locomotive actually drove over from the side …
This was a foam board prop locomotive fixed on the slide rail, and it was covered with bumpy collision marks.
"Uh …" Director Duan Shuangqing swallowed hard and explained into the microphone, "Everyone, don't think about how unreasonable it is to drive a train on the highway. After all, we are testing the driver's ability to respond to various accidents."
"As you can see, most professional drivers in the past have failed at this level. This is a traffic sign at an unguarded railway crossing. Our system can determine the distance between the train and the car based on the speed of the car. If the driver can't react in time, the train won't go straight, but will hit the car diagonally. "
Correct judgment, + 1 point!
The reaction time from the appearance of the sign to the braking was 0.04 seconds.
"I have nothing to say. Humans can't reach this reaction speed in their lifetime." Director Duan Shuangqing gave the representative of Monster Industries a thumbs up.
The representative of Monster Industries smiled at Director Duan Shuangqing.
