In front of the live broadcast on the TV station and the internet, the audience was waiting curiously. Those automobile manufacturers and technology companies were also waiting silently.
Peng Yun Automobile's autonomous driving test had a very important meaning. If there was a mistake, it would cause a huge negative impact. If it was successful, it would mean a revolution in driving!
On the screen, Peng Yun Automobile's CEO Jiang Xunmei had already sat in the car. Along with her was Peng City's Traffic Bureau Chief Wu Changfeng, a driving supervisor, and the TV station host.
"Is this car safe? If something happens … "The audience looked at the live broadcast and discussed in the comments section or live broadcast bullet screen.
"Even the Traffic Bureau Chief is sitting in the car. Nothing should happen right?"
"They are on XX road. There are a lot of cars on this road! I don't even dare to drive fast normally! "
"Eating melons in the front row."
"This is Peng Yun's autonomous driving car. I heard that the AI system was provided by Hongxin? If it is good, I want to buy it too! "
In the car, Jiang Xunmei was answering the host's question.
"Our car is completely different. I am worried about safety. The autonomous driving system is 90% safer than a real person! "
"If all the cars in the future use autonomous driving systems, I think there will be fewer traffic accidents and traffic jams!"
"Looks like CEO Jiang is very confident in Peng Yun's autonomous driving car. Then what is the real situation? We can see it now! "The host said as the camera switched to the drone camera.
On the spacious road, the first Peng Yun autonomous driving car started to move. Turn on the left turn signal, start, enter the straight road … A series of operations were completed automatically by the AI. It was very smooth.
When the car merged into the traffic, it was the real test of the autonomous driving system.
Inside the car, through the mini camera and virtual projection, the surrounding environment could be seen. Wu Changfeng was paying close attention. He was still slightly worried.
This time, he decided to give Peng Yun Automobile an L5 autonomous driving test license. He was under a lot of pressure. He was afraid that there would be a problem with the autonomous driving system!
However, the car was moving very smoothly. The speed, braking, lane change, overtaking, these were all similar to the operations of a ten year old driver.
"Wow, it is really similar to a real person driver." The audience was amazed. On the screen, the driverless car could perfectly respond to all kinds of situations. Its reaction speed was quite fast!
"We can see that when the Peng Yun driverless car is responding to various traffic situations, its reaction is very fast. It made the corresponding response in almost a microsecond. When we sit in it, we can hardly feel the body of the car shake. It's as comfortable as sitting on the sofa in our own house! "The host introduced.
The driverless car drove a full circle around the designated route, which took more than two hours. On the Internet, many viewers were bored.
"Boring, it's too stable!"
"I thought something bad would happen! In the end, there was nothing. "
"It's good that you're fine. This means that the technology for autonomous vehicles has matured. The day where I can drive without a driver's license is coming soon! "
"That's hard to say. What will happen if there's an emergency?"
…
No matter how they looked at it, on the first day, Peng Yun's driverless car drove safely on the roads of Shenzhen City without any accidents.
The media also reported this incident one after another, predicting the future of autonomous vehicles.
This car and a few other cars with L5 autonomous vehicle test license plates still had to drive day and night on Shenzhen City's roads for a month before it could be preliminarily proven that this technology was desirable.
Half a month passed quickly. Peng Yun's driverless car had been driving safely for half a month. During this time, there were continuous media reports. The discussion on whether autonomous vehicles could be on the road became more and more intense. There were many people who agreed and disagreed.
At two o 'clock in the morning, a Peng Yun driverless car was driving steadily on the road. The test data was continuously fed back to the quantum brain. Behind this car, a small car driver in his fifties was chewing on betel nuts and discussing with his friend in the front passenger seat.
"Don't you think this is strange? The car in front doesn't need a driver to drive itself! If it becomes popular in the future, won't we lose our jobs? "The driver said in a dissatisfied tone." The technology companies now only invent useless things! It's enough to have us drivers to drive, but they still want to drive without a driver! When we lose our jobs in the future, will they pay us a salary? "
"That's right, I really want to smash that car!" The person in the front passenger seat was also a driver. However, he was an unlicensed driver and did not work in a formal transportation company.
"If we smash it, won't we have to pay for it?" The small car driver scolded. "I heard that this thing is quite expensive. There's also a camera on it. We can't afford to pay for it!"
"Hey, you say, if their car crashes, who should pay for it?" The person in the front passenger seat suddenly asked.
"In their car, there were people in the first few days, but now there's no one. If they crash, who should we look for? "
In the second stage of the driverless car test, there was no safety driver in the car. This was approved by the traffic bureau.
The small car driver thought for a while and said, "I think it's better to look at the traffic rules. Whoever violates the traffic rules will have to pay."
"That's hard to say!" The person in the front passenger seat said, "There are many situations where we have to violate the traffic rules."
Both of them were experienced drivers for many years. They knew that sometimes, for safety, they had to slightly violate the traffic rules when driving. However, it was hard to say for a driverless car. It was not a human, so under normal circumstances, it would abide by the traffic rules.
However, if for safety reasons, it violated the traffic rules and caused a safety accident, then the problem would be very complicated.
"If that kind of situation really happens, I think we should look for the manufacturer to pay for it!" The small car driver said casually, "And they should have bought insurance, and the insurance company will pay for it. It seems to be written on the news."
"Let me search!" The person in the front passenger seat took out his phone and searched. As expected, he found the relevant report. It said, "Peng Yun Driverless Car has a high insurance for every driverless car. Once a safety accident occurs, Peng Yun Car Co., Ltd. promises to not shirk the responsibility and protect the interests of the victim …"
"Huh?" Seeing this report, the person in the front passenger seat suddenly had a thought.
He immediately said, "Old Huang, you say, if this driverless car crashes into us, will they have to compensate us?"
"Of course they will!" The small car driver said, "But this driverless car is very stable. I think it's impossible to crash."
"Under normal circumstances, it's impossible, but what if it's a special situation?" The person in the front passenger seat said with a hint of strangeness and joy.
