Chapter 111 I got stuck at a toll booth
The netizens in the live broadcast room also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the challenge competition had become normal again.

The line around Qinghai Lake was originally a national highway.

Due to Qinghai's vast land and sparse population, there is not much traffic on the national highway, so it is relatively friendly to the automatic driving system.

As long as you can avoid the herds of cattle and sheep that appear from time to time, as well as the scrapped cars with dead bodies lying on the road, the problem is not very big.

In the sky, looking down, a large number of cars are driving, rushing forward at a fast speed.

Among them, the vehicles of Xia Ke Academy can be said to be the best.

After the previous traffic jam, the vehicles of Xia Keyuan had clearly distanced themselves from the vehicles behind them, and had faintly caught up with the previous group of vehicles.

At this time, it is time to test the autonomous driving technology.

All I saw was that the vehicles of Xia Keyuan were driving forward without any sign of slowing down.

Ke Ke and the two special guests who were live broadcasting in front of the live broadcast room were also a little confused when they saw the vehicles of Xiake Academy being so reckless.

"Teachers, the vehicles of the Xia Ke Academy are driving so fast, so there will be no problems, right?"

Keke faced the camera and asked the two teachers for advice.

"The problem is not very big. You can see that vehicles operate in accordance with standard traffic rules when merging and overtaking. Moreover, the distance between the two parties is basically kept at a safe distance of more than 100 meters. In this case , it can be stopped on the highway, and there should be no problem on the national highway.”

Wang Shuang evaluated it from a technical point of view.

"The driving system of the Charcot Institute chose this way, probably because it wanted to keep a distance from other vehicles, so as to avoid entanglement with the convoy and cause too much interference."

Zou Ming analyzed it like this.

It does make sense. After the mutual interference in the initial stage, everyone is still wary of the driving system, which still has a shadow.Zou Ming's analysis like this is also reasonable.

"And you see, other convoys also have vehicles accelerating. They have the same purpose as the Xia Keyuan team. They want to get rid of the interference of the convoy and play the leading role."

Zou Ming continued to add.

It seems to be the case. The camera clearly shows that there are several vehicles in each convoy trying to speed up and distance themselves from other vehicles.

Among them are giants such as Tongyong, Oudi, and Boshi, as well as emerging car manufacturers such as Future and Lixiang. Generally speaking, they are all companies with technology and strength.

Jiang Ming was in the monitoring room, watching the operation of the Fuxi system and the operation of the driving systems of various vehicles from a distance, but he was also silent.

Jiang Ming has been judging the reasons for each step of the Fuxi system and whether the countermeasures are appropriate.In addition, it is to predict the actions of other vehicles.

After seeing the cars from other manufacturers speeding up and leaving the convoy, Jiang Ming nodded his head.

At present, it seems that leaving the convoy is the most sensible choice for the driving system.

Because the driving systems of each manufacturer are closed and do not communicate, they rely entirely on their own data collection.In this case, it is completely unpredictable what actions the opponent's driving system may make.

If it is a human-driven vehicle, there is still a certain track for the judgment of the behavior.

But the behavior of driving software is sometimes less predictable.

Especially this kind of immature software, which is still being tested and has no driving system launched on the market, is more prone to problems.

Your own judgment may be fine, but if you can't keep the surrounding vehicles, you will make wrong judgments to interfere with you.

In this case, the driving system determines that it is necessary to stay away from the convoy, keep a distance from other vehicles, and maintain the independence of its own driving.

Jiang Ming was a little curious as to whether this would happen if these vehicles all used Fuxi's driving system.

According to the software architecture, if the surrounding vehicles are all Fuxi systems, the vehicles will exchange driving information with each other to ensure timely sharing of vehicle information.

The driving system operates on driving behavior based on the shared information.

This is an ideal situation, but after the crosstalk of the previous driving system, Jiang Ming is a little uncertain.

The driving system may become timid due to too much shared data, and the driving behavior becomes conservative.

These invisible shared data may form an electronic fence, which limits the performance of the driving system.

Although in this electronic fence, the vehicle will be very safe, but after all, this is out of the normal driving habits, for the sake of safety and safety.

The automatic driving system will evolve into an intelligent driving system, which is the final form.

These current restrictions will limit the possibility of intelligent operation of the driving system and turn it into a purely safe driving tool.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming felt that he still needed to plan the Fuxi system carefully after the game.

These core essentials still need to be clarified.

At this moment, the entire challenge team was stretched very long.Although they are on the same road, the speed of each vehicle is different.

Of course, the highest speed of the national highway is there, and it can't be faster if you want to.

Jiang Ming looked at the real-time vehicle road conditions on the screen, and was analyzing the speed settings between different driving systems.

In terms of vehicle speed, to be honest, Jiang Ming didn't impose too many restrictions on the Fuxi system.As long as the road safety regulations are followed, the specific speed depends entirely on the judgment of the driving system itself.

In terms of speed determination, there are many factors that affect it.

The quality of the road, the surrounding traffic flow, the control measures on the road surface, and the number of pedestrians on the car.Therefore, even Jiang Ming, the developer, cannot predict the next speed of Xia Keyuan's vehicle.

I saw the vehicles of Xia Ke Academy moving forward at a relatively high speed without the slightest hesitation.

It seems as if the surrounding vehicles are nothing.Seeing this situation, Jiang Ming also fell into deep thought.

The autonomy of the Fuxi system is beyond Jiang Ming's imagination.

This is only running on one car, without interconnection with other vehicle systems. Jiang Ming can't imagine what it will be like when all the cars use the Fuxi system.

The Fuxi system, under the training of massive data, will be more intelligent than people imagined.

Siris' vehicle moved forward at a very high speed, and it didn't take long to catch up with the team from the first echelon.The vehicles in the first echelon were slowly hanging while not being very far apart.

Seeing the strategy of Fuxi's system, Jiang Ming was a little taken aback. Fuxi's level of intelligence is a bit beyond imagination.

Jiang Ming guessed that in the perception of the Fuxi system, all vehicles are competitors. What kind of strategy to use to deal with competitors and win beautifully is what the Fuxi system is considering.

The competition around Qinghai Lake was in full swing, and the competition entered a relatively calm stage.

Because the stage of the national road has ended, the next section is the expressway.

Expressways, compared to national highways, are much simpler.

After all, on the expressway, the markings are clearer, there are no traffic lights, and the number of vehicles is small. It is an ideal place for sports cars.

Everyone thought it was nothing to watch, but in the process of getting on the expressway, an accident happened.

And this accident happened because someone could be on the team of Xia Ke Academy.

Because on the highway, you have to go through the high-speed toll booth.In order to improve the efficiency of traffic, each vehicle is equipped with ETC equipment, which can ensure that the self-driving vehicle can quickly pass through the toll booth without stopping.

Other vehicles have no problem passing through the toll booth, and they can all pass at one time.

As a result, when the Xia Keyuan vehicle passed by, it was not known whether it was a problem with the equipment or the angle of the vehicle. The vehicle of the Xia Keyuan team was not recognized by the ETC equipment, and the pole was not lifted.

This is a bit embarrassing, the vehicle cannot pass and is stuck there.

And more importantly, another car came behind Xia Keyuan, parked behind it, waiting to pass.

Such a situation created a dilemma for the vehicles of the Xia Ke Academy.

According to common sense, the vehicles of the Xia Ke Academy should back up, pass by again, and try again, maybe they will be able to pass.

It's fine now, I want to retreat, but there is not enough space.

And the point is, the car behind didn't realize at all that the car in front had encountered a problem and needed to make enough space.

The members of the Xia Ke Academy were dumbfounded when they saw this situation in the monitoring room.

How can this be good?

Even when Jiang Ming saw it, he was a little helpless, and his ideas were a bit out of his mind.

Jiang Ming also wanted to see how the Fuxi system would deal with this challenge.

On the Dou Ya Dou live broadcast platform, because of the problems encountered by the Xia Ke Academy team, the atmosphere suddenly became much more lively.

You know, the Xia Ke Academy team has gone through a series of events, and their popularity is already very high at this time.Seeing that Xia Keyuan was deflated, everyone looked like they were eating melons.

"Teachers, what do you think of the problems faced by the Xia Ke Academy team, and what solutions do you have?"

Having a topic, Ke Ke hurriedly asked.

"How should I put it? This is a practical problem. It is very difficult for Xia Keyuan's vehicles to drive out of the ramp."

Zou Ming thought for a moment and then said.

"Now it's actually a test of the intelligence of the car behind, to see if it can recognize the predicament and take the initiative to back up and avoid it."

Wang Shuang said so.

It's just that the car in the back is smart enough, everyone is very skeptical.

This is a Lifan vehicle, which is rarely seen by ordinary people.

In the early years, Lifan still had a certain reputation.However, as time went on, Lifan's good cards were finally wiped out, and the current operations became problematic.

This time I came to participate in the challenge competition, and I also wanted to be able to get acquainted, and show my face in the international competition.

Who ever thought that showing his face was indeed showing, but it was a bit embarrassing.

Lifan's vehicle just stood there motionless. He didn't pay attention to the obstacle ahead, and didn't think about how to get around it.

Seeing Lifan's performance, in the live broadcast room, everyone was yelling, this performance is too bad.

Even the technicians of Lifan feel a little helpless when they see the performance of their own autopilot system.

The two cars stopped on the ramp for tens of minutes, at this time the vehicle of Xia Keyuan moved.

I saw the vehicle of Xia Keyuan turned on the reverse gear and slowly moved to the rear, trying to make the vehicles behind receive the information of reversing and back up.

It's just that Lifan's vehicle still doesn't move.

Next, the vehicle of Xia Keyuan turned on all kinds of alarm flashing lights, and slowly backed up, trying to force Lifan's vehicle, telling the other party that it encountered an emergency and required special treatment.

It's just that these are all invalid. After waiting for a long time, Lifan's vehicle still didn't move.

Could it be that the staff must be required to manually open the gates of the toll booths to allow vehicles to pass through first?

It's just that this is a bit bad. After all, the vehicle's information has not been entered into the highway system, which is a bit against the rules.There is no need to do this kind of violation when it is not critical.

Jiang Ming looked at the scene in the distance and kept thinking in his mind about how he could let the vehicles pass without violating his principles.

Suddenly, Jiang Ming saw the road next to him, which seemed to be moving. Thinking of this, Jiang Ming quickly checked it with his mobile phone.

This is the backup channel!
Generally, at the entrance of expressways, there are backup passages, so that vehicles that cannot be identified can pass through the backup passages and take artificial ramps.

In the past few years, there were often reports in the news that some vehicles would maliciously rub other people's ETC.

Those who rub ETC are basically turning from the backup channel, from the side channel.

After this kind of thing happened, many high-speed toll stations used movable plates to block the backup channel.

It will only be reopened if necessary.

Is it feasible to open the backup channel to allow vehicles to pass through the side channel?
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Ming was very excited.

According to the level of intelligence of the Fuxi system, it should be able to perceive the side passage.

And doing so will not involve violations.After all, this is an alternate channel, which is prepared for special circumstances.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming hurriedly contacted the organizing committee and asked the organizing committee to discuss the matter.

After a few minutes of communication, the highway staff, the fence next to the Siris vehicle.

Sure enough, just a few minutes after the fence was evacuated, the Fuxi system detected the road, and then calmly passed by the road next to it and drove onto the highway.

After Xia Keyuan's vehicles passed by, the road ahead was cleared.

The vehicles behind Lifan also moved very quickly, moving forward quickly.

It just seems that there is really a problem with this passage, and Lifan's vehicle can't recognize it.

At this time, the performance of Lifan and Xia Keyuan's vehicles was immediately different.

The Xia Ke Academy's vehicles were rerouted and passed through the side passage.

But Lifan's vehicle was stuck here and did not move.Turn a deaf ear to the road around you.

Seeing this performance, Lifan's staff felt very helpless.As for the netizens in the live broadcast room, they were a little speechless, and their performance was too poor.

Of course, professionals know that it's not that Lifan's performance is poor, but that Xia Keyuan's driving system is too good.

Generally speaking, driving systems, in this case, are difficult to perform scene planning.Especially a road that has been reopened.

This road is not on the navigation map.

The driving system needs to carry out detailed modeling of the surrounding environment, infer the possible driving route, and plan the final destination of the route clearly before driving on the new road next to it.

Obviously, Lifan's vehicle driving system does not have this capability.
