For the gift, start research and development of graphene batteries

Chapter 105 The Group of Death

Although the Dou Ya Dou platform left the location of the Xia Ke Academy team, the discussion about Jiang Ming and the others did not stop on the live broadcast platform.

Some people are questioning Jiang Ming's strength. As a lithium battery expert, he is researching intelligent driving technology. This kind of crossover is a bit grandstanding.

Some people think that Jiang Ming is a hard-working person, who is not arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat. In the field of lithium batteries, he has achieved such achievements. It is rare to be able to calm down and study seriously. In today's impetuous age, it is very rare.Be a role model for me!
What's more, they are studying the technology used by Jiang Ming, and by analyzing the configuration of the vehicle, they can speculate on the technical route of Xia Keyuan's automatic driving.

In addition, the models of Siris were also mentioned a lot by the way.

Basically, no one had heard of the Seris brand before. This time, led by Jiang Ming's topic, everyone began to pay attention to this brand.

No matter, in Weibo, in the news media, the car logo of Siris, accompanied by the figures of Jiang Ming and Xia Keyuan, appeared frequently.

Shancheng, the headquarters of Siris, the general manager's office.

"Mr. Zhang, good news."

Li Minghao, the manager of the marketing department, walked into the general manager's office and shouted at the general manager Zhang Yong.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Seeing Li Minghao's excited expression, which usually shows no signs of emotion or anger, Zhang Yong frowned a little.

"I said Manager Li, such a stable person, what is there to be so excited about?"

Zhang Yong asked.

"It's Mr. Zhang. I wonder if you've been paying attention to the Qinghai Lake Intelligent Driving Challenge recently?"

Li Minghao asked.

"No, is there something wrong?"

Seris does not have a professional autonomous driving development team and did not participate in this challenge. Therefore, Zhang Yong did not pay much attention to this competition.

As for the information of the game, it is enough for the managers and directors below to pay attention.

"It's a big situation. I wonder if you still remember the Autonomous Driving Institute of Xia Ke Academy?"

Li Minghao continued to ask.

"Oh, you mean them, we talked before, they went to compete?"

Zhang Yong remembered that his subordinates had reported this to him before, and Seris Company still took it seriously.

If Zhang Yong was not on a business trip at that time, Zhang Yong would definitely meet him in person.

"Yeah, they've arrived at the scene."

Li Minghao said excitedly.

"At the scene? Could it be that the results came out and good results were achieved?"

"Mr. Zhang, the game hasn't started yet."

"Then this is not good news. We already knew the information that they were going to participate in the competition. Later, I checked the Autonomous Driving Research Institute of the Xia Ke Academy. It seems that it is not very famous and has limited influence in the industry."

They are all insiders, Zhang Yong didn't hide it, and said directly.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yong didn't pay much attention to this challenge. According to Zhang Yong's speculation, he should not get any good results.

"Here, Mr. Zhang, let me show you a video."

Li Minghao saw that he had been talking for a long time, but he still didn't get to the point, so he was rather anxious.

Thinking of this, Li Minghao took out his mobile phone, clicked on the video recording area of ​​the Douya Dou platform, and then clicked on a video.

This video is an interview with Xia Ke Academy on the Dou Ya Dou platform.

In the video, Siris's car has always been displayed there in a relatively cool posture, especially the big car logo, which is very eye-catching.

Seeing the car of Siris and the logo of Xiake Academy, how could Zhang Yong not understand that this should be the automatic driving system built by Xiake Academy using the car of Siris.

"Is this Jiang Ming, Professor Jiang?"

The images of the video continued to flow, and in a blink of an eye the camera was on Jiang Ming, and Zhang Yong exclaimed.

"That's right, it's Professor Jiang."

Li Minghao said.

"Uh, the last time the Xia Ke Academy team came to our Sirius, did you meet Professor Jiang?"

Zhang Yong asked suddenly.

"See you."

Li Minghao said.

Good guy, Zhang Yong was so angry that he died.When someone as important as Jiang Ming came to Seris, you didn't tell me and only let the ordinary middle-level people receive him. This is so rude.

"Professor Jiang came to Serris, why didn't anyone tell me?"

Zhang Yong was really angry, and then asked in a deep voice.

"We didn't expect Professor Jiang to come to Sirius before. We only saw it on TV once, but we didn't see it in reality. Moreover, Professor Jiang was wearing the staff uniform of Xia Ke Academy at that time, which was no different from other people. Usually, we don't pay attention."

Li Minghao quickly explained.

In fact, Li Minghao was also rather strange, why he didn't leave any impression when he saw Jiang Ming last time.

For this reason, Li Minghao went to check the surveillance system and saw that Jiang Ming was wearing work clothes and looked like an ordinary engineer.

Moreover, during that period of time, Jiang Ming went to the workshop and went to the welding station, and was so busy that he didn't look like a boss at all.

And no one said that Jiang Ming's status was relatively high, which caused such an embarrassing situation.

Moreover, the person we received last time was Director Zhang of the company. Although the director has a relatively high level of vision, he does not know much about the technical staff.

In this way, the senior management of Siris successfully ignored Jiang Ming when they met for the first time.

Until now, during the Qinghai Lake Challenge, Li Minghao and the others noticed that there were more and more discussions about Siris on the professional automobile website. Only then did they know that the team of Xia Ke Academy actually had Jiang Ming as the leader.

And according to what Jiang Ming said, his own role in it was very important.

Although Jiang Ming didn't perform too much, somehow, Li Minghao was inexplicably full of confidence in Jiang Ming's team.

When people in the circle were paying attention to Jiang Ming, Siris' car also caught fire by the way.

"In other words, Dou and Dou platform gave us free advertising for several days?"

Zhang Yong was very excited when he heard that the Douya Dou platform interviewed the Xiake Academy team many times, and then introduced the Siris car used by the team.

Zhang Yong had a premonition that if he could seize this opportunity, Siris' reputation would surely go out of the circle.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yong said to Li Minghao:
"Hurry up and book the earliest plane for me. I will fly to Qinghai with my colleagues from the brand department. This challenge is very important to Seris. The car is famous."

Zhang Yong said so.

Immediately, Zhang Yong took Li Minghao and his colleagues from the brand department to Qinghai in a mighty way, and found the team of Xia Ke Academy to do work for the event and product promotion.

Jiang Ming naturally ignored the large number of comments on the Internet. The team is currently intensively debugging and preparing for the upcoming competition.

The teams, vehicles and systems participating in the challenge are all ready, and the challenge is officially started.

Generally speaking, this challenge is divided into two parts, the first part is functional testing, and the second part is intelligent driving.

The function test is divided into many sub-items, including smart parking, emergency avoidance, emergency lane keeping, intersection assistance and other functions.

As for smart parking, it is actually a road test and a practical operation.This part is more difficult, and it is also the focus of this round of Qinghai Lake. The vehicle is required to drive automatically along the entire Qinghai Lake.

There is no human involvement in the entire operation of the vehicle. The human only plays the role of safety officer when something abnormal happens to the vehicle.

The jury will score according to the performance of the autonomous driving system, and finally determine the ranking of each participating team.

There are a lot of vehicles participating in this competition. In order to improve the efficiency of the competition, the organizing committee arranges the vehicles to be tested in batches. There are almost five teams in one test.

At the same time, several groups started to test, striving for one project, and finished the test in half a day.

This results in many vehicles being tested at the same time.

What kind of car to broadcast live, this has become a problem.

The Dou Ya Dou platform will focus on some key models based on the actual performance of the vehicles, and strive to express the technical level of this challenge.

In fact, the Dou Ya Dou platform obtained a list of powerful participating units from the organizing committee, including BMW, Oudi, and Texela.

It's just that although there are many teams on the list, there are no teams from Xia Ke Academy.

Keke also reported this situation to the official Shake and Shake, but although the official recognized Jiang Ming's technology in the lithium battery industry, considering the past strength of the Xia Ke Academy, the Shake and Ya Shake official did not take the Xia Ke Academy's technology into consideration. The team will be placed on the list of seeded players.

In fact, even though Wang Shuang and Zou Ming are optimistic about Jiang Ming and recognize Jiang Ming's technology in battery, they don't think Jiang Ming's technology in the field of automatic driving.

Of course, by shaking the platform, considering Jiang Ming's influence, Keke and the director were specifically told to tilt the camera towards Jiang Ming's team appropriately when there was time to give Jiang Ming face.

Although other people are not optimistic about Xia Ke Academy, for some reason, Ke Ke remembered Jiang Ming's words: Our automatic driving technology is a bit special.

Thinking about it again, Jiang Ming started from basic research and development in obscurity, and developed carbon-based batteries, which changed the entire new energy industry.

This kind of experience seems to be more and more similar to autonomous driving.

Could it be that Jiang Ming can bring unexpected results to everyone in the field of autonomous driving?
This question arose in Ke Ke's mind. Unconsciously, Ke Ke arranged for the camera to focus on Jiang Ming's team.

It's just that it doesn't matter if you don't look at it. Ke Ke was shocked when she saw it. Xia Ke Academy's luck is too bad. In a team, there are actually two veteran rivals. Ke Ke even wondered if it was deliberately arranged by the organizing committee , Arranged the team of Xiake Academy to go inside.

Of course, Keke just thought so. The arrangement of the group was determined by drawing lots on the spot, so there was little chance of cheating.

In Jiang Ming's group, the other four teams were Oudi, Tongyong, Xiaopeng and Bo Shi.

Two major international manufacturers, Oudi + Barrel, plus a traditional parts giant, Boshi, plus a relatively strong Xiaopeng from a new car-making force, anyone in this team feels a little guilty.

Although this challenge is not for group PK, but when facing such a strong opponent, in comparison, you will feel that your skills are very low and you will not be able to stand on the stage.

Affected by this, the performance will be much worse than usual.

The team of Xia Ke Academy, Qin Ruya, also turned pale when she saw that the team of their No.12 team was actually these competitors.

Although Qin Ruya has confidence in her team, but she is not compared with these teams, Qin Ruya is still uncertain.

After all, the level of autonomous driving technology of these automakers cannot be obtained from the outside world.

This smart challenge is to pull each company to a track and compete.

The members of the team were a little worried, but Jiang Ming didn't feel much.If you can't compare to others, you can't compare to others. Jiang Ming believes that his technology is not inferior to others. The only difference is the development time and the accumulation of system data.

Jiang Ming believed that if he gave himself some time to optimize the system, he would not have to participate in any challenge competitions, and just drive the system directly on the road, and he would definitely blow them up.

Ke Ke and the others were very worried about the performance of Jiang Ming's team, and the water friends in the live broadcast room were also worried about the team of Xia Ke Academy.

After all, it would be a bit embarrassing for such a rolling team to perform poorly.

In order to save time, the testing of the challenge starts at multiple tracks.

Qin Ruya, Jiang Ming and the others did not dare to be distracted, and did their best to deal with the test.

The first hurdle is smart parking technology.

Parking is no stranger to all drivers. As for self-driving parking, it is to replace manual labor and park the vehicle in the parking space.

Ordinary parking spaces may not be difficult for autonomous driving technology.

In order to increase the difficulty, the organizing committee prepared different scenes and props to test the autonomous driving technology.

The first is normal automatic parking.

After the participating teams set the program, all the personnel left the vehicle, and the vehicle automatically backed up and then parked in the parking space.

The referee will judge whether the parking is standard and meets the requirements according to the speed and flexibility of the parking, as well as the front and rear positions and line pressure.

Normal parking is easy for the automated driving system.

After all, the wide field of vision and clear markings are purely for verifying the vehicle's functions. If the vehicle stops properly, it means that there is a problem with the basic functions of the system, and there is no need to proceed to the next step.

At this step, most manufacturers can get full marks.

Of course, some manufacturers do not know whether it is a software bug or the system has not been adjusted well.

I saw that the automatic driving system reversed the vehicle without adjusting its position when driving.

In this case, crimping is unavoidable.

Although it was judged that the line would be pressed, the system on the car did not stop operating. After repeatedly moving the car to no avail, the car was finally parked at the cost of pressing the line.

As for the other manufacturer, it did not take measures to press the line to stop the car.

Instead, the vehicle was re-aligned, backed into the garage again, and the parking operation was completed.

It's just that although the vehicle was straightened, the vehicle was parked because of two times.

Therefore, deduction of points is inevitable.

After all, in terms of judging the automatic driving system, there is an indicator of the parking rate once.
