Chapter 110 I'm Embarrassed, The Cars Are Congested

During the entire competition, participating team members are not allowed to be in the car, only safety personnel are in the car.

And for the sake of fairness, each vehicle is equipped with several cameras to monitor images inside and outside the vehicle, and specialized staff will follow up and view them remotely in real time.

The purpose of doing this is to ensure the fairness and justice of the challenge.

Before the departure of the vehicles, each participating team will adjust the status and route of the vehicles in advance, and then let the vehicles start in batches at intervals of 10 minutes.

Although there is a total of nearly [-] kilometers around Qinghai Lake this time, it will take a long time.However, for the sake of safety, the maximum speed of self-driving vehicles is still limited, and the maximum speed can only reach [-] kilometers.

This means that no matter how fast a self-driving vehicle is, it still takes three hours.

The final race is about to start, and the team of Xiake Academy is also preparing for the Qinghai Lake Tour.

In fact, there is not much work to prepare.

Because the loop line is fixed, you only need to mark the starting point and destination of the vehicle, and then set the route it travels.

As for the performance on the road, it depends on the intelligence of the automatic driving system.

In the Qinghai Lake Intelligent Driving Challenge, the evaluation of the participating teams is based on the performance of the vehicle on the road, not based on the speed of the vehicle.

Of course, in order to avoid the speed of the intelligent driving vehicle being too slow and taking advantage of the speed, the competition organizing committee still set a cut-off time of 5 hours.

In other words, if you don't come back for more than 5 hours, you will lose.

With the whistle of the referee, the ultimate competition of this intelligent driving challenge, around Qinghai Lake, finally started.

Xia Keyuan's team is the third batch to set off.

According to Jiang Ming's calculations, a total of ten teams were divided this time, starting in batches.

When the vehicle set off, you can see the gap between the teams.

Better self-driving vehicles can determine the surrounding vehicles in advance, choose the best driving route, and avoid interference from relatively crowded vehicles around them.

However, some driving systems are too poor, perhaps due to the influence of the absolute safety set by the programmer. When the driving system determines that there are obstacles around and the driving speed is not high, it determines that these obstacles may affect the driving system. safety.

Furthermore, it is set in the strategy to run at a relatively much lower speed.

Originally, there was no problem with this strategy, but when dozens of vehicles were all using this strategy, many vehicles began to run slowly, unable to keep a distance at all.

Seeing this situation, everyone was dumbfounded, especially the netizens on the live broadcast platform, who were a little speechless.

Dou Ya Dou live platform barrage:
Wang Dahammer: Good guy, are these self-driving vehicles here for tourism? What are they going to do? Can they run slower than anyone else?

Concubine Xi: Yes, yes, what the hell are these people doing? According to the current speed, even ten hours will not finish the run.

Seeing the barrage in the live broadcast room, Ke Ke and the two guests in the studio were also a little dumbfounded.

"Teachers, what do you think of the traffic jam at the air outlet?"

Keke opened her mouth and asked Wang Shuang and Zou Ming.

"Let me talk about it first."

Zou Ming took the words and spoke.

"This exposes some problems of autonomous driving. That is the solidification of the program, which will cause a potential chain reaction. Just like this time, the vehicle detects that there are targets around, and there is nothing wrong with reducing the speed to maintain safety. But due to mutual The interference between them caused everyone to be in a state of mutual hostility."

Zou Ming's analysis in this way is quite thorough.

"Following Teacher Zou's words, this is actually caused by the relatively closed driving system and information interaction between each other. Each system works independently without information exchange."

Wang Shuang added.

Jiang Ming was in the waiting room, looking at the chaotic arena, feeling a little helpless. He didn't expect this to happen.

If the comparison continues like this, it completely defeats the original intention of the game.

However, Jiang Ming believed that this would not happen in the Fuxi system.

According to Jiang Ming's settings, when the Fuxi system judges that there are objects around, it will mark the objects.Obviously, the surrounding objects are vehicles and will be tagged as vehicles.

Jiang Ming's thinking is different from that of ordinary people. In the Fuxi system, there is a core strategy.

That is, the system tries to avoid running parallel with the vehicle for a long time, resulting in long-term occupation of the lane.

This situation, in fact, occurs more often on the highway.

Jiang Ming often heard that on the expressway, there was a sudden traffic jam, and the entire travel speed was very slow.

At first, everyone thought they had encountered a traffic accident, but unexpectedly, it was two novices walking side by side on the expressway, blocking the lane tightly.

The people behind know to go beyond.But the car in front is not allowed to enter.

Based on this situation, Jiang Ming decided on this strategy.

Of course, to implement this strategy, a lot of data needs to be judged.

For example, it will detect whether the current road is an ordinary urban road, a national road, or a highway.

In addition, it is necessary to detect the surrounding environment and judge as many objects as possible.Through the judgment of the object and the environment, a suitable scene is finally found.

The other important thing is the average speed of the surrounding vehicles in this environment.

When all the conditions are judged, the system will automatically complete the action.

In fact, even if the Fuxi system did not make a correct judgment, Jiang Ming believed that the Fuxi system would finally complete the challenge.

Because the goal set by the Fuxi system this time is to complete the game within five hours.

Jiang Ming didn't understand other people's driving systems, but the target execution rate of Fuxi's system was still very high.

When it was time for the team of Xia Keyuan to set off, at this time, the team of Xia Keyuan was quite nervous.

After all, after seeing the 'comparison' between the teams in front, everyone lost confidence in their own system.

I saw that the Fuxi system, after the start signal was sent out, controlled the vehicle and jumped out suddenly. The speed was so fast that it was a bit frightening.

You should know that the Siris vehicle used by Xia Ke Academy is an extended-range vehicle, which is driven by a motor.

And in order to ensure the performance of the vehicle, Xiake Academy asked Siris to equip it with a high-performance four-wheel drive version.

When the system is at full power, it can accelerate from 4 kilometers to [-] kilometers in only about [-] seconds. This result is quite excellent in the new energy industry.

Everyone saw Siris' vehicle, and disappeared with a cloud of dust.

Only other vehicles were left on the scene, stuck in the slow state of the previous batch of vehicles.

"This……"

The netizens in the live broadcast room were a little dumbfounded when they saw Siris ride away.

Good guy, why is this guy so smart? He planned it in advance and was ready to exert force while everyone was still counting the seconds?
Even the members of the Charcot Academy were a little unbelievable after seeing Siris' performance.

How does the Fuxi system judge, and how does it know to leave early to avoid possible congestion?
With doubts, everyone turned their attention to Jiang Ming.

"Jiang Gong, what's going on?"

Liu Ming has the air of a man, and he is not shy. He just asks questions when he doesn't understand, and speaks directly.

"You say this, it's simple. You know there's a traffic jam, why don't you start early and wait to be stuck there?"

Jiang Ming said lightly.

"But how did the Fuxi system know that this would happen?"

Another engineer asked again.

Everyone gave the engineer an appreciative look, which meant that the words were answered well.

"There are so many traffic jams in front of you. As long as the Fuxi system is connected to the Internet for a while, it will know the congestion. Combined with the surrounding environment determined by the Fuxi system when it set off, it is easy to calculate."

Jiang Ming said it as a matter of course.

"That is to say, the Fuxi system first detected through online data that there is a congestion ahead. And it is speculated that this congestion is because everyone is walking slowly?"

Hearing Jiang Ming's words, Zhang Ru couldn't help interjecting.

"That's what it means."

Jiang Ming gave him an appreciative look.

Let alone the team leader, this comprehension ability is not comparable to that of ordinary engineers.

Seeing Jiang Ming's eyes, Zhang Ru was also a little speechless. What admiration for this.Fuxi's software was written by her organization staff, failing to guess the intention of the system itself is a sign of incompetence, why is it that she has a strong comprehension now?

It should be said that the task Jiang Ming gave Zhang Ru and the others was to write various modules in a targeted manner and leave various interfaces.

Some of these modules are dedicated to data transmission, some are for processing data, and some are for logical judgment.There are tens of thousands of various modules.

As for how these modules are connected together and what the whole strategy is, Zhang Ru doesn't understand.

It's just that the recent workload is a bit heavy, and Zhang Ru doesn't have time to study it thoroughly.If Zhang Ru can be given a period of time, he can still figure it out.

Therefore, at this time, Jiang Ming is the only one who understands the operation rules of the Fuxi system best.

"No, it is not difficult to realize the function of detecting congestion, but how can it be linked with the challenge? How can it be determined that it is caused by the slow speed for everyone's safety? Is this unreasonable?"

Some engineers thought of this and raised their own questions.

"There is nothing difficult to explain. In fact, after the Fuxi system is powered on, regardless of whether the vehicle driving system is activated or not, the Fuxi system is analyzing the surrounding environment and processing the visually sensed information."

"Moreover, the processed data will be used as a behavior judgment for driving behind. The Fuxi system combines the previously collected data, the congestion situation of the vehicle in front, and the challenge race being held, information on the track, etc., to obtain a comprehensive conclusion."

Jiang Ming explained.

Uh……

Hearing Jiang Ming's words, everyone fell silent, as if they were getting to know the Fuxi system for the first time.

Speaking of the Fuxi system, it was jointly developed by everyone. Only at this time did everyone realize how intelligent it is.

If it is really like what Jiang Ming said, the Fuxi system at this time already has part of the meaning of artificial intelligence.Compared with the traditional intelligent driving system, it is far ahead.

Involuntarily, everyone was full of confidence in this driving challenge.

Dou Ya Dou Live Streaming Platform:
Obviously there is you: Good guy, whose car is this, so fierce?
Feike: Hey, this car’s logo is so handsome. Why haven’t I seen this kind of vehicle before? Is it imported?And it starts so fast.

Raiden Leader: This is not an imported vehicle, it is a purely domestic vehicle.Today, my leader will give you a good popularization.

Next, the Raiden leader introduced the car company Siris in detail, focusing on the products it sells.

At the end, the leader of Thunder said:
Xia Ke Institute is very satisfied with the performance of the Seres vehicle, and the two parties are currently conducting in-depth cooperation in the field of autonomous driving.This time, it is a project officially developed by the cooperation between the two parties.

Although the Raiden Leader is suspected of being an advertisement, it is quite impressive anyway, allowing many netizens to know about the Siris vehicle.

Under the popular science of Raiden Master, many netizens have visited the website of Siris to learn about the brand of Siris.

On the forum, there are gradually more discussions about the Seres brand.

In a room in a hotel not far from the Qinghai Lake Challenge.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Li Minghao, manager of the marketing department of Siris, said to the general manager Zhang Yong.

"Well, you did a good job. This time, the science popularization is in place, and it really promotes Seris. I asked the IT staff to count. Recently, the number of people visiting the website has increased."

Zhang Yong was very satisfied with Li Minghao's science popularization at the critical moment.

"Recently, in terms of brand promotion, Manager Li, you have done a good job."

Zhang Yong praised.

"Mr. Zhang, this is all the result of Jiang Ming's team."

Li Minghao didn't dare to be greedy for merit, so he said so.

"Mr. Zhang, you don't know that Siris's vehicle runs at full power from the very beginning. The power is absolutely explosive. The effect is also very good, attracting the attention of many people."

"Besides, with Professor Jiang in charge, the attention has increased."

Li Minghao continued.

"Yes, Professor Jiang helped us a lot this time. After the competition is over, we must thank Professor Jiang very much."

Zhang Yong also said with emotion.

Not to mention the promotion of Siris's management, everyone is paying attention to the situation of the Challenger League.

Not all team autopilot systems can judge congestion and set off ahead of schedule like the Fuxi system.

Most of the vehicles will get stuck in congestion.

The emergence of this situation has made the game more enjoyable to watch.

Although the manufacturer was embarrassed, the organizing committee was also disgraced.

There is no way, the organizing committee can only think of a way to prevent this kind of thing from spreading.

First of all, the organizing committee changed the departure time of the follow-up vehicles, instead of adopting a uniform departure time, but departing every few tens of seconds.In this way, the congestion of vehicles can be avoided.

In addition, it is aimed at vehicles that have already departed and are congested.The organizing committee urgently set up many roadblocks in front of the road to forcibly divert vehicles.

For example, it used to be a relatively wide road with no markings or street signs.

Now the organizing committee uses barriers to forcibly divide the road into several lanes. In this way, the distance between vehicles is slightly opened.The mutual influence is weakened a lot.

Practice has proved that this scheme is very effective.

A large number of vehicles, after passing through these barrier sections, automatically diverged, could no longer detect each other, and began to accelerate.

The organizing committee also breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the participating vehicles were diverted away and the competition became normal.
