All round car designer

Chapter 593 ADAS System

Zhou Fei and his team soon came to this area of ​​the test track. Most of the projects have been completed, and only some road sections with special test conditions are still under construction.

The scale of the entire test track is comparable to the test track built by Tesla in Shanghai, but the functions of the R&D center test track are more comprehensive, especially in terms of driverless driving. A place where a dedicated test site for autonomous driving has been built.

"Mr. Zhou, this section of the road is used to test the road condition recognition ability of the unmanned driving system. During the test, we will randomly throw various objects on the road, including living things, to test the accuracy of vehicle recognition. degree and sensitivity of response.”

After arriving at the test track, this time it was Ramsey who explained to Zhou Fei.

Zhou Fei looked around carefully. On both sides of the road, there were some boxes distributed irregularly. These should be tools for projecting objects.

"Is this section of road used to test the vehicle's road memory ability?" Zhou Fei asked, pointing to another section of winding and complex road conditions.

"Yes, the design of this section of road actually refers to the design principle of the maze. For the road conditions that the map can cover, the vehicle can directly call the data in the map to plan the driving route. For the route that is not displayed on the map, you need to The vehicle performs automatic memory, and this road condition is used to test the memory function." Ramsey nodded with a smile.

Zhou Fei smiled and nodded, "It sounds a bit like the principle of a robot vacuum."

"It is indeed a bit similar, but what we want to study is more intelligent. The sweeping robot scans and stores at the same time. Only the road it has traveled can be memorized. The goal of automatic driving is more active. Every time it walks, the system will Detect the road ahead in advance, and then make a choice on your own. Simply put, after all, the robot is guided by the human, while the autonomous driving is the vehicle that guides the human.”

Ramsey tried to explain in plain language.

Immediately afterwards, Ramsey took Zhou Fei and others to visit the rest of the unmanned driving test road conditions, but all the types of experiments that Zhou Fei could think of had corresponding road conditions to match.

"Tomorrow's test should also be carried out here, right?" Zhou Fei asked as he walked out of the test track.

"Yes, all tests have been conducted here since May this year." Ramsey nodded.

Previously, because there were no test conditions, all tests had to be carried out in Detroit, and it took a long time to prepare for the test.

Afterwards, Zhou Fei visited the interior of the R&D center. There are so many large-scale equipment, many of which Zhou Fei can’t even name, it looks like a scene from a sci-fi movie.

"What kind of equipment and conditions do you need? You can apply to Mr. Ma, and the group will fully support you." After coming out of the R&D center, Zhou Fei said to Lin Hua and Ramsey who were accompanying him.

A lot of money has been invested in the R&D center in the early stage, and the supporting facilities in the later stage must keep up.If you want to do initial innovation, you can't worry about money.

"With Mr. Zhou's words, we can apply with confidence." Lin Hua replied with a smile.

Backed by such a big financial backer as the Feichi Group, many things have become easier. Before, Lin Hua Management Company had to make deductions, but now he really understands what is meant by "things that can be solved with money, that's not What does that phrase mean.

The next morning, Zhou Fei and his team came to the R&D center again, preparing to participate in the actual vehicle test of the DAS system. This was the first time Zhou Fei participated in such a test.

On the test track, two Tesla Model Ys have been placed there. All other conditions of the two cars are the same, except that one is the original version and the other is equipped with the DAS driving assistance system to form a group control test.

"According to the feedback from the previous test, we have further improved the program of the system. The current DAS system is not only perfectly compatible with all Tesla models, but also has better performance than our original patent application. Time is more advanced and comprehensive!"

Before the test started, Ramsey began to introduce the DAS system to Zhou Fei.

"Then the current DAS system is also compatible with the new car that Tesla is developing?" Zhou Fei asked.

Ramsey nodded, "It can be done. I have already communicated with the project team. As long as the new car development follows the same underlying protocol, this DAS system can be compatible with any electric car under the group."

"Good job." Zhou Fei patted Afraid Ramsey on the shoulder in relief, and then walked towards the test vehicle.

On the test track, the test personnel are doing the final inspection of the vehicle, mainly to test the stability of the DAS system, to ensure that the output data is true and valid when the test starts.

Soon, the staff responsible for checking the condition of the car walked up to Ramsey, said something in a low voice, and then Ramsey trotted up to Zhou Fei, and said with a smile, "Boss Zhou, everything is ready, the test is OK." here we go."

"So which car do I start with?"

"Let's start with the comparison vehicle." Ramsey said, pointing to the Tesla without the DAS system installed.

Although Zhou Fei had already driven the original Tesla, Zhou Fei still sat in the car for the purpose of the test. According to the requirements of the test, he ran two laps on the test road before stopping. .

"Mr. Zhou, wait a minute." Just as Zhou Fei was about to get into the car equipped with the DAS system, Ramsey smiled at him.

Finally, Ramsey took a small spray bottle from his companion, sprayed it on Zhou Fei's hand a few times, and then said, "President Zhou, sit in the car and take a look."

Zhou Fei put his hand on the tip of his nose and smelled it, then frowned and asked, "Is this alcohol?"

"Yes, medical alcohol." Ramsay nodded with a smile.

Although he didn't understand why he had to spray alcohol on his hands, Zhou Fei got into the car as usual, but not long after Zhou Fei put his hands on the steering wheel, there was an alarm sound in the car,

"The alcohol concentration has exceeded the limit, please confirm whether it is drunk driving?"

Then, two choices of "Yes" and "No" appeared on the central control screen, and the system reminded again, "If no choice is made for a long time, the system will automatically lock the vehicle, please confirm whether it is drunk driving as soon as possible. "

Zhou Fei stared at the scene in front of him in surprise, then immediately unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car and said to Ramsey, "This DAS system is so smart? Can it even detect drunk driving?"

If this is the case, then this DAS system is worthy of being promoted all over the world, and how many traffic accidents will be reduced!

"Currently, the drunk driving detection function of this DAS system is relatively low-level, but the ADAS system we are developing should be able to do this more perfectly." Ramsey replied with a smile.
