For the gift, start research and development of graphene batteries

Chapter 101

Although Wang Mingyang is interested in Jiang Ming's cross-bank research on autonomous driving, the prospects are not promising.But at least Jiang Ming came to compete with the team, and Wang Mingyang couldn't beat him anymore.

"How is it, are you confident?"

Wang Mingyang asked with 'concern'.

"Basically, it's not a big problem. But aren't there too many teams participating this time?"

Jiang Ming asked.

Hearing Jiang Ming said that there were not many problems, Wang Mingyang was a little speechless. Is Jiang Ming big-hearted, or is he really confident?

You know, there are more than 100 teams participating in the Smart Driving Challenge this time, far exceeding the previous ones.

This is related to the explosion of the new energy market in recent times.

In particular, the introduction of carbon-based batteries has completely dispelled consumers' mileage concerns. Therefore, the market acceptance of electric vehicles is higher.

Many consumers now take the initiative to look at new energy vehicles when they replace them with new ones.This shift is becoming more and more obvious.

According to industry estimates, sales of new energy vehicles are expected to double this year.In the next few years, it will increase exponentially.

And it can be estimated that all vehicles on the market will use carbon-based batteries.

In the case that the batteries are all of the same type, if the car manufacturers want to have a selling point and widen the gap between them, they can only make efforts in the fields of electrification and autonomous driving.

As a result, the autonomous driving challenge has been very popular since this year.

There are more and more participating teams, and the complexity of the event is getting higher and higher. With this scale, the organizers can't handle it.

Therefore, for this challenge, the organizer has brought in many assisting units, including the New Energy Industry Association.

At the same time, in order to expand the scale and influence, many media were also invited to report.There is also a live broadcast platform for live broadcast around the clock.

The scale of this kind of competition is already very large.

"There are a lot of teams participating this time. According to our statistics, there are more than 120 teams, not only from Xia, but also from abroad."

Wang Mingyang said.

"No way, why are there so many from abroad? I remember that in the past, there were only a few companies, and the total number of entries was only a few dozen. Is the technology so strong now?"

Jiang Ming asked strangely.

"No, new energy is so popular now. With carbon-based batteries, new energy is destined to be the next protagonist. These car companies are now rushing to launch smart driving projects."

"However, although there are many contestants, there are not many who are really capable. Most of the manufacturers are here to learn. At the same time, they will show up and advertise."

Wang Mingyang explained.

Jiang Ming could also understand this point.

Many exhibitions and competitions in China, although they know that they will not get any rankings, but they still have to participate.

After all, the car brand is about long-term operation.

You think that the return rate of participating in the conference is not high, so if you don’t attend, it’s okay once or twice. After a long time, there are really rumors that your company has closed down.

There are living examples of this.

Especially with the popularity of self-media, many self-media are keen on these hot spots, and they will expose and misinterpret them for you.

"Well, I didn't expect intelligent driving, it's really on the cusp."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ming was still thinking about it.

There are many participants in this competition.Although many are soy saucers, there are still many relatively capable teams.

Traditional auto giants: Dazhong, BMW, Oudi, Benchi, and Tuyong.

Although these auto giants set foot in the new energy field late.But it is undeniable that in the automotive field, the strength of these giants is very strong.

Now that I'm working hard, I might come up with some technology that shocks the world.

Although there are rumors in the industry, these giants stick to traditional interests and are unwilling to develop new technologies.But it is not guaranteed. The project teams that have already been established within these giants are making technical reserves.

It's just that the technology has not been launched because of market problems.

No, as soon as the market changes, these giants come here, and there is no shortage of technology.

In addition, there are some traditional auto parts giants, such as Boshi and Pad Mount.

These parts giants are also facing huge challenges.

The three-electric system, motor control and battery of new energy vehicles.

At present, it seems that none of these parts giants can get involved.

In terms of motors and batteries, there are specialized manufacturers, and it is not easy for them to participate. In these two fields, there is no layout.

As for the overall control, they can have a hand in it, but currently the car manufacturers conduct their own research on the overall control.

It seems to work well when used.It's really unnecessary, go to the international parts giant to purchase.

Looking at it this way, international parts giants can only provide some auxiliary parts, and the proportion is getting smaller and smaller.

Thinking about it this way, these giants can't bear it.Thinking of the breakthrough, it is the intelligent driving technology.

Intelligent driving technology is very difficult and requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and this is not a problem for component giants.

And they especially like this kind of high-tech things. Only in this way can there be technical barriers, and the added value will be high after they are made.

Moreover, if my smart driving technology is adopted, the corresponding supporting components, such as radar, camera, and sensor, should be used accordingly.

In this case, the entire new energy parts industry will be able to turn around.

Thinking about it this way, intelligent driving technology can be regarded as an entrance to new energy.

As for the new energy and new forces participating this time, there are more.

The international new energy vehicle giant, Tesla.It has always been the leader in autonomous driving, and its technology is well-known in the industry.

Many of its technical standards have been borrowed by many manufacturers, and finally became the general industry standard, which shows its strength.

It is also the seed player of this intelligent driving challenge.

As for domestic manufacturers, there are not only old car manufacturers such as Dongfeng, Long Press, and Changcheng, but also new car manufacturers such as Future, Lixiang, Xiaopeng, and Weimar.

These car manufacturers all have a certain reputation in the industry and have guaranteed technical funds. They are likely to win the ranking in this challenge.

As for other small and medium-sized enterprises, there are countless of them.

This challenge, if it weren't for the organizer's limitation of the scale, there would be more teams participating in the competition.

But even so, the colorful flags and messy car models on the scene are still eye-opening.

Among them, the team of Xia Ke Academy is very inconspicuous.

However, the team is not conspicuous, but the models are quite eye-catching. After all, the models of Siris are very rare.

Although the streamlined design elements of Siris are somewhat similar to the sports car of a certain international manufacturer.But this side shows that this design element has natural advantages in aesthetics.

Otherwise, the price of a car from a major international manufacturer is so expensive, and it is impossible for it to sell so well.

In the competition venue, besides the various teams, there are also various interview media.In other words, it is the staff of the official live broadcast platform of the Dou Ya Dou platform.

The biggest highlight of this year's challenge is the live broadcast of the whole process, which is convenient for netizens to understand the entire process of the competition.

Because of autonomous driving technology, there is still a threshold. The so-called layman watches the excitement, and the insider watches the doorway. It is not enough to just watch the excitement.

Therefore, the Dou Ya Dou platform specially invited two professionals to explain the competition process from a professional perspective.

One of them, named Wang Shuang, was the former director of BID's autonomous driving division. He has been engaged in autonomous driving for many years and has a lot of work experience in the industry.

As for the other Qiu Liang, he was the former regional technical manager of Benchi China, and he also has a certain influence in the field of automobile circles.

As for the host, it is Keke, a well-known and popular female anchor on the Douya Dou platform.

Of course, in addition to the official live broadcast of the Douya Dou platform, there are also many anchors, big and small, who come to Qinghai Lake to catch a wave of traffic.

The perspectives of these individual anchors are different, which can be regarded as enriching the perspectives of the majority of netizens.

It's just that these anchors are not official personnel, so the core venue of the challenge cannot be entered, and they can only shoot outside.

Since the autonomous driving competition is different from ordinary competitions, the vehicles participating in the challenge competition need to occupy a certain space.

Therefore, the organizer has divided small venues one by one on the huge square, as the participants' own territory, where debugging and maintenance can be carried out.

Of course, the team's office is also inside.

The venue is not very big and can only be used as a fixed place. If you want to conduct a road test on the vehicle, you still have to drive the car to a special track.

There are only a few days before the competition, and the participating teams are working overtime to do the final debugging of the vehicles.

The team of Xia Ke Academy is no exception.

At this moment, Jiang Ming was in the office, watching Liu Ming and the others, confirming the vehicle step by step.

Although the challenge will start in a few days, the live broadcast of the Douya Dou platform will start now.

Since there is no competition, the Douya Dou platform arranges to take pictures of each participating team, and then invites professional personnel to interpret.

'Hi everyone, netizens, I am your friend Ke Ke, and today I bring you the Intelligent Driving Technology Challenge around Qinghai Lake. '

"Our current live broadcast venue is located in Qinghai Lake, QH Province. Behind me is the beautiful Qinghai Lake. The blue sky, green water, sea and sky are the same color, it is so beautiful."

In the screen of the live broadcast room, following the perspective of the photographer, what is presented to everyone is the pure sky, emerald green water, and towering snow-capped mountains of Qinghai Lake.

I have to say that the scenery of Qinghai Lake is really beautiful. Even without the beauty function, what is presented to everyone is still a beautiful scenery.

On the Dou Ya Dou live broadcast platform, following the live broadcast of the official account, netizens frantically flocked into the live broadcast room.

In particular, the beauty anchor Keke's hosting has attracted many fans, and the popularity of the live broadcast room is gradually rising.

"Because it is a professional event, this time we have invited Mr. Wang Shuangwang and Mr. Qiu Liangqiu to provide us with professional knowledge."

Keke introduced.

"This Qinghai Lake Intelligent Driving Challenge is an unprecedented event. As you can see from the camera, there are many teams outside. With so many teams participating, it will be extremely exciting compared to this challenge."

"I don't know the two teachers, what do you think about this challenge? Teacher Wang."

Keke asked.

"How should I put it, the level of this challenge should be very high. We have seen that the technologies of many domestic companies are improving one after another. As far as I know, there are quite a few companies that have brought very novel technologies. Technology, I believe it will be able to achieve a good ranking.”

Wang Shuang said confidently.

"Teacher Zou, what do you think?"

"There are indeed many teams participating in the competition this time, but whether the technology is mature or not, there are very few companies that can catch up with international giants. There are even fewer teams that can reach the level of Tesla. In this regard, The domestic car team should work hard."

Qiu Liang is a middle-aged man who looks like an uncle. He is dressed in formal clothes and looks very decent.

Wang Shuang on the opposite side looked like an engineer, dressed very casually.

At this time, Wang Shuang felt a little upset when he heard Qiu Liang's words that domestic car companies were not good enough and that they had to work hard to match foreign car companies.

It should be said that Wang Shuang came out of BID, and he is well aware of the difficulties of domestic car companies.

Regardless of the current boom in the car manufacturing industry, in fact, the development time of the entire car manufacturing industry is only about 30 years.Compared with the century-old history of international giants, it really pales in comparison.

Even so, domestic car companies still seized a short period of time to expand the market, barely allowing domestic cars to occupy a place in the Xiaguo market.

Wang Shuang, who was born as an engineer, knows all about the hardships involved.

Although the gap is there, it is not as far away as Qiu Liang said, and it is not to the extent that they cannot keep up.

It's just that although Wang Shuang was unhappy, he had a different opinion from the other party just after the live broadcast, which was a bit too disrespectful to the live broadcast party.

Therefore, Wang Shuang could only hide his dissatisfaction in his heart without words.

Wang Shuang didn't say anything, but in the live broadcast room, many people had different opinions.

Some of the people who came to the live broadcast room were fans of Ke Ke, and they came to join in the show.

The other part is people who are interested in autonomous driving and new energy vehicles.Although these people couldn't come to the scene, they still hoped to learn about the grand occasion of the challenge through the live broadcast.

Therefore, this group of people has a relatively good understanding of new energy.

Hearing Qiu Liang's words, they all left messages in the live broadcast room:

Xiaobaibu: This Mr. Qiu, you are a bit absolute. Although there is a gap between domestically produced cars, it is impossible to talk about catching up with them.

This fan is somewhat similar to Wang Shuang's point of view.

Xiaobaibubai: I understand new energy vehicles. In terms of autonomous driving technology, Tesla is still the strongest, and everyone else is rubbish.

Good guy, the troll is here, so confident!
Simile: It’s funny upstairs, the others are rubbish, I think you are the rubbish.

When the people downstairs saw Xiaobaibubai's barrage, they immediately started spraying.

Xiaobai Bubai: Don't be dissatisfied, everyone, there are some extremely capable people in this challenge, and I will give you three kowtows in the live broadcast.

This one is short-tempered, and set up a FLAG here to support Terela.

Zzz: Good guy, it's only been a few months, it's not time to go to the grave, and a son is going to kowtow to his grandfather, 666.

Under the leadership of Zzz, a netizen, the wind in the live broadcast room instantly changed.

Some of them were buried in the southeast corner of Grandpa’s grave, and some said that they don’t need to wait, they can knock it down now, and if it doesn’t work, I will pay you back later.

Seeing these bullet screens, the people in the live broadcast burst into laughter.

Compared with the relaxation of the water friends, Ke Ke's side is a bit more difficult.
