In the beginning, everything was normal.
The car did have the option of autopilot, but it could only be activated after the car reached a public road.
Zhang Yan did not pay much attention to it. She drove to a public road and found an online taxi booking job.
Then, on the way to pick up the passenger, she turned on the autopilot. She placed her right foot on the brake, and her palms faced up, resting naturally on her knees. They were less than two centimeters away from the steering wheel, and she was ready to take over the car at any time.
After all, the company only said that this was an L2 level autopilot. No one could say for sure whether this thing was reliable or not.
This was a game, not reality. If she really crashed into someone, she would just have to spend some in-game currency to fix it, and if she killed someone, she would just have to find a new sister. However, after playing the game for so long, Zhang Yan had developed a habit of zero accidents.
Even when she was racing, she tried her best to avoid all kinds of small bumps, but she crashed into a car in the middle of a city? That would not do. She could not let her reputation be ruined by this car!
After getting on the road, the situation was more normal.
The car followed the navigation, and it drove smoothly. It stopped at red lights, and when it made a right turn, it would check for pedestrians. Its actions such as overtaking and changing lanes were also very agile and safe.
Not only that, the car's navigation was better than the other cars in the game.
Under the premise of retaining the dashboard, the K1 was equipped with a relatively large display screen. The screen was split into two. The left side was the vehicle's detection of the road situation, including the presence of vehicles in front and pedestrians by the roadside. All of this would be displayed in real time. The right side was the current navigation route, and it was clearly planned.
Every time the car made a turn, the Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator's steering wheel would follow. Zhang Yan did not need to do anything. All she had to do was stare at the screen and pay attention to the situation around her.
This kind of driving experience was quite magical to Zhang Yan.
Of course, it could also be because there were fewer pedestrians and cars on the road, and the situation was not that complicated, so the process was smooth.
The first order was completed very quickly, and the customer was sent to the destination without a hitch.
"This autopilot is quite impressive. There shouldn't be such a level of autopilot in real life, right? It's been driving for so long, and it doesn't even need human intervention? "
Actually, Zhang Yan was prepared to take over at any time, but the actual autopilot experience of this car exceeded her expectations.
"No wonder everyone says that this car's autopilot is a bit ridiculous. But this is not its limit. It can find a more complicated place. "
"Hmm … let's go take a look around the Tengda experience store in the game!"
There were a few places in the game that had a lot of traffic and human traffic, and Tengda's experience store was one of them. That was because there were two huge shopping malls, subway entrances, GOG's competition venue, and the largest Tengda experience store in the country.
In the game, although a miniature version of Jingzhou City had been created, important landmarks like that had been perfectly displayed.
This time, Zhang Yan didn't accept the order because she might not be able to get the person who was going there. So, she paid for the trip. Anyway, the car used electricity, and the electricity in the game was very cheap.
Very soon, Zhang Yan drove the K1, no, the K1 drove itself and brought Zhang Yan to the vicinity of their destination.
The road conditions here were indeed complicated, especially at several intersections. There were often pedestrians walking on both sides of the road. There was even a pedestrian who was playing with his phone while walking forward, approaching the moving vehicles.
Of course, he didn't look out like a ghost. Instead, he turned back in time. However, the K1 still managed to detect him in time. At the same time, it gave the driver a warning and quickly slowed down to avoid any accidents.
Although the pedestrian didn't actually run in front of the car, Zhang Yan was still scared out of her wits.
"This car is also very good at handling complicated road conditions. In some aspects, it's even better than a human driver. That's quite ridiculous! "
Zhang Yan finally understood why the bullet screen comments were praising how awesome this car was.
That was because it had completely relied on itself to pass through a very complicated road without any accidents even when there were many people and cars. If it could pass, it would pass normally without crawling slowly. If it couldn't, it would stop and wait patiently. If a pedestrian suddenly appeared from the side, it would be able to detect it in time and reduce the speed to avoid danger.
Of course, the car itself rang a few times to remind the driver to focus and take over in complex road conditions. However, Zhang Yan didn't take over, and the car continued to drive normally.
In some emergency situations, such as a ghost looking out, the car's reaction speed was even faster than a human driver's. After all, human drivers had blind spots, but the car had a camera and lidar, so it could see more clearly.
When the pedestrians were still in Zhang Yan's blind spots, the car's display would show them, and it would be marked in red, reminding the driver to avoid them.
Of course, the car's autopilot wasn't perfect. From Zhang Yan's perspective, compared to a human driver, especially an experienced one, there was still a gap.
For example, its speed wasn't that fast, but it definitely wouldn't exceed the speed limit. However, when the road was unclear, it would slow down slightly. It wouldn't be as slow as a turtle, but it would still be slower than an experienced driver. That way, the time needed to complete the same distance would be longer, but the advantage was that it wouldn't accelerate or slow down too often.
This couldn't be experienced in the game, but in real life, it would obviously bring a better ride experience, and it wouldn't be easy to get carsick.
Other than that, it was a little too cautious when it came to following the traffic rules. There was no need to mention things like making turns and letting the other person go first. There were places where it could have been squeezed in, but it didn't do that. When it was squeezed in, it didn't speed up either. Instead, it slowed down to allow the other person to squeeze in. This caused it to take longer to pass through some congested roads.
However, it couldn't be blamed for this, because the behavior of many experienced drivers to "save time" was a kind of uncivilized driving in itself.
Not letting others squeeze in and squeezing in could indeed make it faster in traffic jams, but the problem was that on the one hand, it would increase the probability of accidents, and on the other hand, it would also play the role of bad money driving out good money, making the city's road traffic more chaotic.
If everyone didn't squeeze in, then the road conditions in the city would definitely be greatly improved. However, if you didn't squeeze in when others squeezed in, or if you gave in when others squeezed in, then the end result might be that you would be stuck in the same place while everyone else ran ahead.
It was like queuing. If everyone else was cutting in, it would be difficult for you not to cut in.
Would Zhang Yan be anxious when others squeezed in? Of course she was.
It had to be said that the car in the game was quite intelligent, creating all kinds of complex road conditions, including the drivers who randomly squeezed in. Obviously, this was to increase the difficulty of the players on the road and maximize the authenticity.
Therefore, when they encountered a jam in the game, many players would be angry and speed up to not give way. They would even knock it over. In any case, the other party was fully responsible.
In reality, they were afraid of getting into a car accident and did not want to repair the car. However, they could not care so much in the game. They could not be spoiled!
However, Zhang Yan did not do that because she realized that the AEEIS in the car system would actually comfort her!
"AEEIS has decided to be polite. After all, he's in a hurry to reincarnate. He's in a hurry."
"Every driver has the same number of jams. Whoever finishes first will leave first. Seeing that he's in such a hurry, he probably doesn't have many jams left. AEEIS has decided to be polite."
"Even though we should be polite when turning, he did not give in to AEEIS. However, it doesn't matter. There will be one day when his turn will become a side collision or a 25% offset collision."
Zhang Yan was quite angry when she was jammed and robbed. However, after hearing AEEIS's words, she immediately stopped being angry. Instead, she wanted to laugh!
This was a little like when a driver was driving. It was inevitable that he would have road rage and want to curse at the stupid driver. However, if the co-pilot cleverly complained at this time, the driver's anger would naturally calm down quickly.
AEEIS was not the kind of angry scolding. Instead, it was elegant and eccentric. The effect was even better.
In addition, this car was actually driving on autopilot. It gave people the feeling that AEEIS was driving while complaining. Zhang Yan found it especially interesting.
"This AEEIS voice pack is amazing! I think we should install one in every car in the future. It can effectively calm road rage. "
"Yes, the test is over. It's about time to go back and continue working."
"I'll drive myself. I haven't driven a family car in a long time. I'll leave the downtown area quickly and earn money."
Zhang Yan gently stepped on the brakes and took over the car again, preparing to drive out of the downtown area.
The logic of autopilot was that a light tap on the brakes or a change in direction would be equivalent to taking over. However, a light tap on the accelerator did not count. Only a heavy tap on the accelerator would count.
K1's autopilot could also deal with complicated road conditions, but it was too focused on safety after all. It would be slower to drive. It would be too slow to earn money if she drove an online car in this place. It was better to pick up orders at a place with better road conditions. She would run a longer distance and earn money faster.
What's more, Zhang Yan had not had time to test the performance of this car after it had been on autopilot for so long.
Step on the accelerator and go!
Zhang Yan was now a true veteran driver. She might not be able to drive on the city roads with the racetrack, but she still knew the routine operations of an experienced driver, such as jamming.
AEEIS was still navigating normally at first. However, as she drove, Zhang Yan suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Please maintain a distance. You're just one step away from sending you and the car in front away."
"Now, you're only one step away from a full rear-end collision. AEEIS thinks that you should have a clear estimation of the driving level of a human driver and lower the standards appropriately."
