"Can you please describe the situation in more detail?" The reporter only wanted first-hand news material. A normal car accident was small news, but if it was related to the driverless car, then it would be hot news.
Wei Jian's saliva flew everywhere as he described the situation with great exaggeration.
On the other side, the traffic police were calming down the female driver and investigating the situation of the accident.
"Comrade traffic police, may I ask if this accident was caused by a mistake in the operation of the driverless car?" After the reporter asked Wei Jian, he continued to ask the traffic police.
"No, there is no direct evidence that it was caused by the driverless car. According to what we know now, it could be caused by the illegal driving of an unlicensed electric vehicle. "The traffic police were very tight-lipped and did not reveal any information.
This incident had already alarmed Wu Changfeng, the director of the Traffic Bureau. He personally ordered that before the actual cause of the accident was investigated, they could not jump to conclusions.
If this was really caused by the driverless car, then it would be a big problem! The L5 automatic driving test license that had just been approved would probably be cut in half.
The person in charge of Pengyun Automobile was also investigating the situation of the driverless car and reported to the headquarters at the same time.
"The car is in good condition, the automatic driving system is not faulty … Okay, boss, I will take care of it."
After the traffic police kept the evidence, they first towed the damaged car away to keep the road clear. Then, they brought the group of people to the Traffic Bureau to deal with the specific problem.
They had just entered the Traffic Bureau when reports about the accident appeared on the Internet and news media. No matter what the content of the report was, the title was extremely eye-catching and used the words "Pengyun driverless car accident" to attract the audience's attention.
Some viewers and netizens who did not know the truth began to complain after reading the title.
"I knew it! This kind of car is not safe, isn't this an accident? "
"It's only been half a month and there's already a car accident, did anyone die?"
"Sigh, I was looking forward to it for nothing. I still wanted to buy this kind of fully automatic car, but now I don't dare to buy it. "
"Please look carefully, okay? The driverless car is fine, the accident happened to other cars. "
"Didn't the driver say that it was caused by the sudden deceleration of the driverless car after merging? Is this fine? If you drive on the highway and the car in front suddenly decelerates, won't you hit it? "
…
Inside a guesthouse, Zhuang Yan had just contacted another media outlet to reveal to them. He wanted to blow up this matter even more. Wei Jian had already contacted him. Peng Yun Automobile did not seem to want to compensate them, so he wanted to increase the pressure of public opinion.
In the Traffic Bureau, Wei Jian still insisted on his "victim" statement and demanded compensation.
The traffic police were also discussing how to deal with this matter.
"There were no surveillance cameras in the area where the incident took place. The driver's driving recorder has been damaged. Female driver, Yang's driving recorder shows that there was indeed a driver of an electric scooter who suddenly changed directions, leading to the accident. "
"However, this Wei's statement that Peng Yun's driverless car overtook, merged, and suddenly decelerated, causing his car to be knocked over, and subsequently causing damage to the goods in the car, is very difficult for us to judge right now."
A traffic policeman said, "If what I said is true, then Pengyun's driverless car and the female driver, Yang, as well as the motorbike driver who violated the rules, will all bear the corresponding responsibility. But I don't think we'll be able to find the scooter driver who violated the rules. "
The scooter that Zhuang Yan was driving was a worn-out second-hand car. It had no license plate and no clear surveillance video. It was almost impossible to find it.
Therefore, the remaining responsibility of the accident would be shared by Pengyun Automobile Company and the female driver.
"Is this Wei's goods really worth a few million?" An old traffic policeman questioned, "Why do I feel like he's here to scam us!"
He had encountered similar cases before. Some scammers would prepare a box of broken porcelain and put it in the car park or in the car, purposely letting the car owner bump into it and then compensate for the cost. The car owner who fell into the trap also had unspeakable difficulties.
"This needs to be verified, but the evidence now shows that this Wei is the victim."
"Now, a few media outlets have come to our door, asking us for the details of the incident."
"The bureau chief has instructed us to handle this carefully."
Just as the traffic police were in a dilemma, the comrade in charge of the accident investigation walked in with a happy face and said, "Good news, Pengyun Automobile Company has a technician. I heard that he can use virtual projection to show us the scene of the accident."
"They have this kind of ability?" The traffic police were surprised. The driving recorder didn't find any useful clues for the accident that happened before, but if there was a reconstruction of the scene, then it would be much easier to judge.
"Let's go and take a look!"
…
Three hours after the accident, the traffic police department still hadn't announced the result of the accident. The public opinion of the society had already started to deviate.
On the Internet's trending topic list, the number one topic was "Pengyun Autonomous Car Accident." The popularity was still rising, and there were many comments.
"Boycott fully autonomous cars, we can't let such cars on the road!"
"Don't come out and harm people if the technology isn't mature. Luckily, no one died this time!"
"Where's the person who boasted about autonomous cars? Face slapping! How can artificial intelligence be compared to humans? They can't handle sudden incidents! "
Even Wei Jian, as a victim, expressed on the Internet that he had suffered an undeserved disaster. Not only was the car damaged, but the goods were also broken. Those were goods that his family relied on to make a living. If he didn't get compensation, his family wouldn't be able to survive!
Such comments attracted the sympathy of many netizens who didn't know the truth. They expressed their support and asked for full compensation from Pengyun Automobile Company.
"Three million, at least three million!" Zhuang Yan, who was hiding in a guesthouse, saw the public opinion on the Internet. His face was full of excitement, but at the same time, he was a little regretful. If he had known, he would have been bolder and forged five million or ten million worth of broken handicrafts. They could have earned more.
He thought that this "scamming" was done perfectly. Now that the traffic police hadn't found any evidence, relying on the pressure of public opinion, Pengyun Automobile had no choice but to compensate.
While he was happily looking forward to the future, in Pengcheng's Traffic Bureau, Chief Wu Changfeng, a few traffic police comrades, and a technician of Pengyun Automobile were preparing to watch the reconstruction of the accident.
The technician of Pengyun Automobile said, "Around the Pengyun autonomous car, there are dozens of miniature cameras that can capture the surrounding scene in all directions. Inside the car, whether it's electrical power, speed, temperature, humidity, or other data, it will all be recorded in real-time in the quantum chip. Now, we can use the artificial intelligence to restore the previous scene. "
