"In conclusion, we think that the current stage is not suitable to develop maglev cars." Cheng Mu gave a conclusion.
Lu Zixin did not give him a clear denial or affirmation. Instead, he said, "List out the specific problems and submit them to me. The more detailed the better."
"Okay, I'll go back and sort it out." Cheng Mu nodded.
After Cheng Mu left, Lu Zixin began to think about the maglev car problem. Of course, he knew that this kind of car was very difficult to make and popularize. Otherwise, other car manufacturers would have already started to develop and produce it.
The more it was like this, the more challenging it was for him. Bringing the black technology of ten thousand worlds to the real world and letting technology develop at an extremely fast speed, this kind of life would be more interesting, right?
While Lu Zixin was still researching the maglev car project, Pengyun Automobile's first new energy car had already been built.
All the raw materials and components were top of the line. Compared to other car brands, its most outstanding feature was its extremely long lasting lithium-air battery, large power motor, automatic magnetic induction brake safety system, and the recently perfected autonomous driving system.
In order to distinguish Pengyun Automobile from other cars, the exterior design of Pengyun Automobile was very recognizable. It was detailed and full of dynamic feeling. The body lines gave people a sharp intuition. It had a kind of sharp visual feeling.
The interior was also designed by a professional designer. It took more than a year of continuous design and adjustment. Together with the quantum brain's intelligent design ability, the interior space was intelligently adjusted to the largest and most comfortable design. It was full of technological beauty.
It was worth mentioning that Pengyun Automobile had many virtual projection holes. It allowed every passenger in the car to operate the virtual projection and connect it to the on-board quantum computer to experience the network.
From the beginning, Pengyun Automobile was positioned as a luxury car. Different from the quantum computer, Hongxin's quantum computer all used its own core technology. After eliminating the high cost of intellectual property that the traditional computer needed to add, its price was still a bit cheaper than those luxury computers.
However, it was very difficult for Hongxin to reduce the cost of manufacturing the car. A lot of raw materials and components had to be imported. In addition to the virtual projection, the on-board quantum computer, the autonomous driving system, the battery motor, and so on, the total cost of these supporting equipment was destined to not be low.
Pengyun Cars were not in a hurry to be sold. Instead, they were waiting to pass the unmanned driving system and obtain the relevant department's review.
This was their biggest problem at the moment. Although there were many companies on the market that were developing autonomous vehicles, such as automobile manufacturers, new Internet technology companies, and veteran companies, none of them were allowed to officially sell them on the road.
Even the most cutting-edge enterprises could only obtain the qualifications to conduct road tests. With the assistance of a driver, they could conduct test driving on the designated roads.
To obtain the recognition of the relevant departments and the masses, Pengyun Automobile still needed to prove itself.
"Apply!" Lu Zixin gave the order to solve the issue of the license plates for the autonomous vehicles before dealing with the maglev vehicles. Otherwise, everything was just empty talk. If the driverless car could not be driven on the road, then the maglev car would be half useless.
Thus, among the subsidiaries of the Hongxin Group, the Pengyun Automobile Company and the Pioneer Autonomous Vehicle Development Company, which had always kept a low profile, jointly issued a statement saying that they had successfully developed "completely autonomous driving technology." They wanted to apply to the relevant departments for an L5 car license plate.
Once this news came out, it immediately exploded on the Internet, pushing Pengyun Automobile and the Forwarder Autonomous Vehicle Development Company to the cusp of the storm.
Autonomous vehicles were not rare. What was rare was the "completely autonomous driving system!"
The International Association of Automotive Engineers and the United States Department of Transportation had a standard for intelligent vehicles, which was also used domestically.
And from the L0 level of manual driving to the L1 level of assisted driving, the L2 level of semi-autonomous driving, the L3 level of high autonomous driving, the L4 level of ultra-high autonomous driving, and the L5 level of fully autonomous driving.
The first title of the homepage of the Automobile Home website was the latest announcement of Pengyun Automobile.
The website report wrote: "At present, whether it is internationally or domestically, the autonomous vehicles can only achieve high autonomous driving and obtain the L3 level test license plate. The L5 level of fully autonomous driving license plate has not appeared in any country in the world yet!"
"Completely autonomous driving means that the car does not need the assistance of a driver to drive. It completely relies on intelligence to carry out traffic behavior! Can Pengyun Automobile really do it? "
This question was what everyone wanted to ask. The person in charge of Qiandu's autonomous driving project said in the latest news interview: "Qiandu's high autonomous driving technology has matured, and is currently perfecting the L4 level of autonomous driving technology. In his personal opinion, Pengyun Automobile can only reach the L4 level at most. L5 full autonomous driving is a bit exaggerated! "
An expert said: "In terms of autonomous driving, Pengyun Automobile and related departments should be very cautious! This is related to traffic safety. Once there is a small error, it will directly threaten the safety of the masses! At the current stage, it is recommended that the related departments not open the L5 car license plate. I hope that Pengyun Automobile can also start experimenting with the L3 car license plate and perfect it step by step. "
The masses were also very worried and expressed doubts.
In the survey of "Do you support Pengyun Automobile's fully autonomous driving on the road?", more than 95% of the participants expressed concerns.
Respondent A: "I don't really believe it. Although intelligence is very convenient, it can't be compared to humans. What if it makes a mistake? Then wouldn't the passengers be screwed? "
Respondent B: "I think it is better to have the assistance of a driver. It is that kind of semi-autonomous driving. Completely autonomous driving doesn't sound very reliable. If it was me, I would definitely not dare to take it. "
Respondent C: "Firmly boycott this kind of car. It will bring a huge hidden danger to our traffic safety! Also, if it is autonomous driving, then won't all the drivers in the country lose their jobs? "
Respondent D: "If it was someone else, I wouldn't believe it. But they are using Hongxin's artificial intelligence. It should be a bit credible. I think it can be tested. It is best to wait for a period of time before officially going on the road. "
… …
Not only did public opinion express doubt, even the relevant departments were in a difficult position. Should they approve Peng Yun Car's application? What kind of method should they use to test and prove that the fully autonomous driving technology was qualified or not? These were all new problems that they had never encountered before.
Pengcheng's transportation department was holding a special meeting to discuss this matter.
