Chapter 115 Who is the first to cross the line?

The Tour of Qinghai Lake Challenge has entered the final stage.

The next challenge is a bit special. It is for the participating teams to cross the vast prairie.

And this grassland is a bit special, it is the kind of primitive grassland, purely used for herdsmen to graze.

In other words, whether there is a road or not in theory for the next part of the journey depends entirely on how the autonomous vehicle is planned.

Of course, in fact, there is a road in this grassland.It's just that the roads are on the other side of the grassland, and this side is used as a pasture.

And it’s not just that there are no roads. On the pasture, there are streams, cattle and sheep, and pasture dividing lines erected by herdsmen with wires and fences.

These scattered objects added a bit of difficulty to the last part of the journey.

The netizens in the live broadcast room and related practitioners all stared intently at the vehicles of Xia Keyuan and Oudi, wanting to see how these two teams would respond.

I saw that Oudi's vehicle slowed down after entering the grassland.

Moreover, Aodi's vehicles are not static, but stop from time to time, turn around, and find the route again.

It can be seen that the situation of no standard roads in the grassland has a great impact on Oudi's vehicles.

On the other hand, although the vehicles of Xiake Academy were affected to a certain extent, their speed was much faster.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Ming felt much more at ease.

According to Jiang Ming's estimation, for this kind of grassland, there is no standard road, and the Fuxi system is quite difficult to deal with.

Because if you want to drive smoothly on it, you must plan a road in advance.

This road needs to be removed on the map, clearly marked as a river, and a fixed obstacle point.

In addition, according to the actual situation, it is necessary to bypass the barriers used by herdsmen to separate different pastures.

These actions look simple, but are actually very complex.

In addition, in the pure green environment of the grassland, the automatic driving system will also produce so-called fatigue, and it is easy to miss the obstacles in it.

On the grassland, there are no markings and other indicators, so it is easy to hit obstacles.

Therefore, the Fuxi system is controlling the vehicle, and it is also driving at a very cautious speed.

After all, many herdsmen use barbed wire to distinguish different pastures.

It is very difficult to identify these barbed wire fences.

Fortunately, the speed is not fast. If you really want to touch the barbed wire, the collision sensor can sense it, and it won't cause too much damage.

But such mistakes are inevitable.

No, the vehicle of the Xia Ke Academy accidentally touched the wire.

Seeing his own vehicle bumped into an obstacle, Jiang Ming also became nervous for a while, and quickly checked the data on the scene to find out what was going on.

When Jiang Ming saw the photos of the scene, he was a little dumbfounded.

The Siris vehicle hit a thin barbed wire, and it was very isolated, not that kind of barbed wire.

This kind of wire is used to gather grass. There are not many of them on the grassland.

Therefore, even herdsmen can easily encounter them unless they release them themselves.

It is very difficult for the driving system to recognize such a thin wire under the sun from a distance.

After detecting the obstacle, Xia Ke Academy's vehicle recognized the iron wire, then retreated and bypassed the iron wire. The problem was not a big problem.

On the other hand, Oudi encountered big trouble.

Oudi's vehicle ran into a small river.

This small river crosses the entire pasture vertically and horizontally, dividing the pasture into two halves.

And it just so happened that Oudi's vehicle crossed the river in a relatively wide place.According to the judgment of the driving system, the vehicle cannot pass.

Therefore, Audi's vehicle was stuck there, a bit at a loss.

Seeing this situation, everyone was a little confused. What kind of situation is this? A simple river can't be crossed by Ou Di's car. Isn't this a bit too bad?
How did the vehicles of the Xia Ke Academy pass by?

Everyone looked at the picture. Since there is no fixed route on the grassland, the route planned by the Xia Ke Academy is very shallow where the river is crossed.

After the driving system judges that there is no danger of falling into it, it controls the vehicle to pass by.

It can only be said that Oudi's vehicle is unlucky. The position of crossing the river is a bit deep and wide, and the driving system encountered difficulties.

After waiting for half a day, Oudi's vehicle made a judgment and made a detour.

It's just that the distance of the river is very long, and after a long way, Oudi's vehicles finally passed through a relatively narrow location.

The judgment of Oudi's driving system cannot be said to be wrong, but what everyone thinks is wrong.

Because everyone discovered that this small river is actually very shallow, not deep at all.

And the river bed of the small river is that kind of gravel, not silt.

Therefore, in theory, passing through any place, the vehicle is not in danger of being trapped.

But no matter whether it was Xia Keyuan's vehicle or Oudi's vehicle, they hesitated in front of Xiaohe, very uncertain.

This shows that the autonomous driving system still has problems in judging the danger level of the river.

The driving system recognizes that this is a river, which by its definition is dangerous.

But it is not clear when it is more dangerous.

This kind of confusion can easily define a small stream as a more dangerous factor.

Jiang Ming looked at the picture and was also thoughtful.

It seems that how to solve the detection of the depth of the river by self-driving vehicles.

Let Fuxi understand that not all rivers are dangerous.

The following herds of cattle and sheep, as well as the vehicles of Xia Keyuan, all passed smoothly.

As for the houses of herdsmen, they are much simpler.

After all, it is relatively easy to identify a fixed building like a house from its appearance.

In this way, the vehicles of Xia Keyuan and Oudi are very close to the destination.

Moreover, the distance between the two cars is not very far.

As mentioned before, Audi's vehicle traveled a long distance while circumnavigating the river.

This situation, at the time, seemed like a waste of time.

But when they drove out of the prairie and went back to the national highway, everyone suddenly found that Oudi's car was in front of Xia Keyuan.

Good guy, Odi actually copied the hometown of Xiake Academy?

Everyone looked at the vehicles of Xiake Academy before, and they were relatively stable.But it never occurred to him that Ou Di accidentally took a shortcut and came to the front.

Of course, although Aodi's vehicle was in front, Xia Ke Academy's vehicle was not very far away.

It's just that although the distance between the two is not far, it is not very far from the terminal.

The road condition of the national highway was very good, and the two cars were driving at full speed towards the terminal.

Xia Ke Academy's vehicles are full of horsepower and maintained the 80 mile speed limit throughout the entire journey.

Audi's vehicle is also very powerful, and its speed is not inferior to that of Xia Ke Academy.

If this is the case, it must be Aodi's vehicle that passes through the terminal first.

Although the vehicle that passes through the terminal first is not necessarily the champion.

But the first team to cross the line must have a huge advantage in terms of points.

Seeing Audi's vehicle in front, the Xia Ke Academy team at the scene were extremely nervous.With such a short distance to catch up, does Xia Ke Academy still have hope of being the first to cross the line?

The Dou Ya Dou live broadcast platform paid close attention to the final sprint stage of the Ring of Qinghai Lake Challenge.

Everyone was a little disappointed when they saw Xia Keyuan behind and Audi in front.

After all, although the Xia Ke Academy is unknown, it represents the Xia Kingdom after all.

Although Odi is strong, he is an outsider.

In Xiaguo Qinghai Lake, in this home field, it is okay from a rational point of view for an outsider to cross the line first, but from an emotional point of view, it is a bit unacceptable.

Everyone hoped that Xia Keyuan's vehicles could be faster and catch up with Oudi.

But everyone knows that it is impossible.

The speed of the two has reached the highest speed limit on the national highway. If the speed is increased further, it will be a violation and points will be deducted.

Is it God's will that the Oudi team should be the first to cross the line?
From a distance, thanks to the excellent air quality near Qinghai Lake, everyone could see the two cars several kilometers apart.

At this time, the two cars were moving forward quickly, not daring to delay in the slightest.

At this time, it was like two athletes, racing and persevering.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming knew in his heart that there was no hope for Xia Keyuan's vehicle to be the first to cross the line, and the distance between the two was here.

Compared to the loneliness of Xia Ke Academy, the staff of the Audi team had already begun to cheer and celebrate for the first one to hit the line.

Even, some staff members took out their country's national flag from behind and began to celebrate, as if the overall situation had been decided.

Tens of thousands of netizens on the Dou Ya Dou live broadcast platform felt very uncomfortable seeing this scene.

It's not that I can't afford to lose, it's that the hotness in my heart has been poured with cold water at this moment, and it's a little cold.

Outside the competition venue, many news media saw this situation and were already sorting out their reports. They were waiting for Aodi's vehicle to hit the line and immediately released the situation on the scene.

Even some small media outlets couldn't contain their excitement and sent out the manuscripts.

The Oudi team, overcoming the waves, completed the race in the shortest time in the automatic driving around Qinghai Lake, creating a precedent for automatic driving vehicles.

This is the title of one of the media, which has been published on its official website.

A century-old Audi is the best in autonomous driving! ——Remember the miracle of crossing the line first in the Qinghai Lake Driving Challenge.

This is the headline of another media. In order to seize the first opportunity, the editors of the two media have already sent out the news release.

Douya Dou live broadcast platform.

"Teachers, what do you think of the value of being the first to cross the line in this competition?"

Although Audi was the first to cross the line, it was a little hard to accept, but Keke adjusted her state as quickly as possible and asked like this.

"I have to say that Audi's technology is indeed extraordinary. It is well deserved to be the first to hit the line this time. You must know that Audi's investment in research and development for a hundred years is absolutely beyond imagination. It is exactly Due to this massive investment, it has created a technological advantage far beyond the industry."

Zou Liang also talked eloquently and admired Ao Di very much.

"I think the Xia Ke Academy team is also pretty good. Although they are not the first to cross the line, their performance is also remarkable."

Ke Ke was a little bit pursed when Zou Ming flattered Ou Di.

Then Keke quickly brought the topic to Xia Keyuan.

"Well, Charcot's performance is indeed good, but this kind of good performance is only compared to domestic manufacturers. In this kind of international competition, it is still a traditional car manufacturer, such as Oudi, Benchi, and Tongyue Geli. "

"Although the results obtained by many major international manufacturers are not very outstanding, the design of their driving systems is still very essential. I believe there will be greater improvements after the challenge."

Zou Ming highly praised the technology of major international manufacturers and praised them endlessly.

Wang Shuang disagreed with Zou Ming's opinion.

When it comes to technology leadership, Wang Shuang feels that Xia Ke Academy’s technology has the advantage.

As for other car manufacturers, although their performance is not very good, they are not far behind compared to the international major manufacturers.Zou Ming's words of belittling himself and elevating others made Wang Shuang very unhappy.

But no matter what, after all, Audi was the first to hit the line this time, and Wang Shuang couldn't say anything.

Therefore, Wang Shuang could only frown and listen quietly, unwilling to say anything.

It's just that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, Wang Shuang's frown made Zou Ming very unhappy.Seeing this, Zou Ming's heart skipped a beat, then he changed the subject and pointed the finger at Wang Shuang.

"Teacher Wang, I don't know how you see Audi's performance this time. Can Audi get No. 1 in overall performance this time?"

Zou Ming asked in such a pretentious manner.

"This"

Wang Shuang was a little speechless. This Zou Ming is really a bit mean. It is a bit embarrassing to ask this question at this time.

Although you worked in a foreign company before and you are full of confidence in international giants, there is no need to hit people at this time, right?
Forget it.

"what!"

Just when Wang Shuang was about to say a few words and admit that Oudi was very powerful, suddenly Keke's scream interrupted Wang Shuang's train of thought.

Wang Shuang looked at Keke, a little speechless.What is Ke Ke doing at this time, such an important game, making a fuss, too calm.

Before, Wang Shuang felt that Keke was pretty good, unlike many female anchors who were purely vases.

Ke Ke still has a certain understanding of autonomous driving and vehicles.

Looking at it now, a webcaster is just a webcaster, with absolutely no focus.Such an important live broadcast, the sky is falling, and it has to be broadcast without changing face, what the hell is it called?
Wang Shuang looked at Ke Ke with a displeased face.

Keke also realized that she had lost her composure, and then Keke quickly pointed to the big screen, motioning for Wang Shuang to look at it.

Wang Shuang followed Keke's hand and looked, good guy, there are so many accidents in the challenge competition.

This kind of thing can happen in a heavyweight competition like the Challenger League, isn't it too funny?

Moreover, what plan did Audi's technical team make? How could this situation occur, and at such a critical moment? It's a bit funny, right?
Not only did Keke and the two guests lose their composure, the water friends in the live broadcast room and all the participating friends and businessmen also looked confused, which was a bit funny!
