All round car designer

Chapter 558 Goodbye Mueller
At 90.00:[-] noon Yanjing time, which is also [-]:[-] midnight local time in the United States, Tesla officially announced that Tesla has acquired a [-]% stake in the American artificial intelligence company Human and has become a major shareholder of the company.

At the same time, Tesla also announced that the two parties will carry out in-depth cooperation on autonomous driving, and will establish the company's overseas research and development center for autonomous driving in Silicon Valley, striving to make breakthroughs in the next few years.

And this news has also attracted the attention of all walks of life. While reporting this incident, many media also reviewed the previous cooperation with Baixun. At the same time, the background of Human, a start-up company, was also dug up by netizens. come out.

"With the acquisition of the technology company Human, Tesla opens a new chapter in intelligence!"

"From the start-up company Human, why did Zhou Fei choose it?"

"A new battle has been ignited, Nikola + Baixun VS Tesla + Human!"

"Tesla will build a new overseas R&D center for autonomous driving!"

…………

In forum communities such as Autohome, many car friends also had heated discussions on this matter.

"Tesla has finally found a suitable partner."

"Although Human is just a small company, I only found out after looking it up that this company is so powerful. It not only holds several patents, but also has been pursued by many investment institutions. Even Nikola has quoted several times. Finally convinced by Tesla."

"Compared with Baixun, this Human company is still a bit incompetent, and I am worried for Tesla."

"Nikola's investment in Yangcheng seems to be starting soon. I don't know if Tesla has other actions in Europe and the United States. We can't lose to Nikola in electric cars!"

"In any case, I hope Tesla can make a breakthrough in driverless driving, and I look forward to the arrival of this day!"

Although the cooperation with Human this time did not cause as much sensation as the cooperation with Baixun, but with the blessing of Tesla's aura, it is still hot.

After a short rest, Zhou Fei and his party arrived in Munich the next afternoon, and met several important figures in the political and business circles in the evening.

For Tesla's upcoming investment and construction of a factory in Munich, the local government naturally agreed with both hands, and the industrial land has already been prepared for them, in the industrial park where Mercedes-Benz is located.

It is worth mentioning that Nikola's factory in Munich is also in this park. I don't know if it was intentional.

The next itinerary has been finalized. Zhou Fei will visit the industrial land tomorrow morning. If there are no problems, he can sign the investment agreement directly in the afternoon. Once the agreement is signed, the next thing will be much easier.

"Tomorrow at [-] o'clock in the morning, let's go to the park to have a look, and we can also inspect the production situation of the Mercedes-Benz headquarters by the way, and then the signing ceremony at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, everyone is ready in advance."

After meeting those people, Zhou Fei and the other three came out of the hotel.

"I'll go with Dayang to see Professor Muller in a while, Ma, you can just go back and rest." Zhou Fei paused and continued.

Although Muller has resigned from all his positions in Mercedes-Benz, he still served as an outside director of the company at the request of Zhou Fei. It is reasonable to say that he and Jiang Yang should visit the elderly when they come to Munich this time. After all, Mueller helped Zhou Fei a lot back then.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Ma Huafu nodded.

After Ma Huafu left, Zhou Fei and Jiang Yang took a taxi directly to Mu Le's home.

Soon, the two met Mueller, and they had already greeted Mueller before coming.

Seeing Zhou Fei and Jiang Yang, Muller looked very happy. Since retiring from the Munich University of Technology and resigning from the management position of Mercedes-Benz, Muller basically has nothing to do now. They chatted about the car, which was Muller's greatest happiness.

"How is the investment discussion this time? There shouldn't be any problem, right?" Mueller asked impatiently after calling the two of them to sit down.

"Everything is going well, we can sign the contract tomorrow afternoon." Zhou Fei replied with a smile.

"That's good." Mueller nodded, and then said with some emotion, "How long has it been? It seems that the whole world is now discussing electric vehicles. The development of the automobile industry has far exceeded my imagination."

"The transition from gasoline vehicles to electric vehicles is an inevitable historical development. Just like in the future, there will definitely be a brand new car model that will replace electric vehicles. The wheels of history are rolling forward and have never been tireless. Yes." Zhou Fei smiled, and the content gradually became philosophical.

"You were the first to propose the four modernizations of automobiles, and you were also the first to develop autonomous driving. Can you tell me how long it will take for autonomous driving to be realized? Can my old bone wait until then? If you can experience what it's like to drive a driverless car, then you really have no regrets." Muller asked very eagerly.

"At least three years, as many as five years, I will definitely be able to let unmanned driving enter the small-batch test, and I will definitely invite you, the professor, as the first batch of users to experience it." Zhou Fei promised.

Although it is impossible to commercialize unmanned driving on a large scale in a short period of time, or even within ten years, Zhou Fei is still confident that he can conduct a small-scale ride experience like Google and Baidu in his previous life. It's not that hard at all.

Just like electric vehicles, unmanned driving also needs a process of being slowly accepted by the public. Small-scale fixed-point promotion will be a very important stage.

"Then I'll take it seriously and try to live a few more years, hahaha." Mueller couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Professor, tomorrow morning we are going to the park to take a look at the land granted to us by the government, and go to the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz by the way. How about I pick you up tomorrow and go take a look together?" Zhou Fei asked with a smile.

"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't visited the company for a long time." Mueller readily agreed.

The three chatted for almost an hour, Zhou Fei saw that it was getting late, so he got up and said goodbye to Jiang Yang.

"If you need my help, you can tell me directly, I still have some contacts here." Before leaving, Mu Le still did not forget to say this to Zhou Fei.

The cooperation with Zhou Fei at the beginning can be regarded as the realization of a long-cherished wish in Muller's heart, especially the rotor engine project, which made Muller very grateful. I am content.

"Thank you, Professor, for your kindness. If there is a need, I will definitely come to you. Then we will go back first. I will pick you up on time at 08:30 tomorrow morning." Zhou Fei smiled and nodded.
