Let you build cars, and you will be happy to produce them?

During a remote video conference.

Yan Qing directly played the test video about Wuling's autonomous driving.

Originally, the engineers at Tesla's American R&D Center didn't take it seriously, but after watching the video, these people fell silent.

The content of the video is exactly the entire process of Mavericks testing Wuling’s autonomous driving.

In the video of more than ten minutes, the one that shocked these engineers the most was when they encountered a car accident in an urban village and the self-driving car actually chose to cross the sidewalk.

And then,

It was on the viaduct auxiliary road that I raced with that Ferrari and directly passed the Ferrari with one move.

This seemingly simple operation, but the algorithms and mechanisms involved are simply terrifying.

"This is impossible. I suspect this video is fake. The current core algorithm of autonomous driving simply does not support this."

A Tesla autonomous driving R&D engineer named Kerry is a top student in the field of intelligence at Harvard University and one of Tesla's chief R&D engineers.

"Everyone, I seriously doubt the authenticity of this video posted by President Yan Qing. As we all know, the core algorithms of autonomous driving developed around the world will never reach this level."

"Don't forget, these two operations may seem simple, but how difficult they are to achieve."

"The simplest, the core program AI that controls autonomous driving must be at least 95% anthropomorphic."

"No one can develop an AI program of this level currently."

As the world's top engineer and a strong person in the field of autonomous driving, Kerry knows very well what support is needed behind this seemingly simple operation.

It's like an Internet cafe.

One host drives hundreds of machines to access the Internet.

The configuration program of the host determines the quality of the machine used to access the Internet in the Internet cafe.

The same goes for autonomous driving.

There is a host that serves as server support, and all vehicles using autonomous driving are connected to the host.

“Currently, the world’s top AI programs can only achieve 90% anthropomorphism.”

"Everyone knows how difficult it is to improve the anthropomorphism of AI by even 1 percentage point."

"We at Tesla have reached the pinnacle of 90% anthropomorphic autonomous driving, but it is definitely not up to this level."

Kerry's words made the other engineers nod secretly.

Even Musk agrees with him.

At this time, Musk was attending a meeting in his luxurious villa, casually wearing pajamas.

"Kerry is right. The most anthropomorphic AI intelligence in the world is developed by us at Tesla."

"On this basis, the autonomous driving we have developed has reached its extreme."

"But I will never doubt the authenticity of this video."

"Because I believe that President Yan Qing will not use a fake video to rush all of us into a meeting so late."

"So no matter how incredible we are about this matter, it shows that Wuling Motors has definitely mastered higher anthropomorphic AI intelligence. Only by relying on this AI intelligence can we develop this set of autonomous driving."

If you want to develop true autonomous driving, you must study AI intelligence.

This is a cut that cannot be circumvented.

Now on the market, those equipped with L2 level intelligent driving can actually only be regarded as assisted driving.

It has nothing to do with true autonomous driving.

Tesla's own autonomous driving has long surpassed the L2 level.

Musk's words, on the one hand, gave Kerry face, and on the other hand, he firmly supported Yan Qing and made his attitude clear.

"Thank you Mr. Musk for your trust. Everyone, the purpose of my emergency meeting is not to argue with you about what is true or false."

"I want to inform you that the development of autonomous driving needs to be stepped up."

"Today, the most competitive market for new energy vehicles in the world is Longguo."

"And Longguo's market is also one of the most important markets for automobiles in the world."

"In the wave of new energy, we used to compete for appearance and power, but now that time has passed."

“Today’s new energy is all about intelligence…”

"Trusted is well-deserved to be the number one electric vehicle in the world. In other countries, no brand can compete with Tesla."

"But here in Longguo, Tesla's sales in the past few quarters have been suppressed by the Longguo automobile brand."

"In the past few months since I took office, I have adopted a series of countermeasures. Last month, Tesla Dragon's sales ranked first in the world, exceeding 20 units."

"In addition to Dragon Kingdom, sales in the entire East Asia region have also exceeded 5 units."

"I don't take credit for this achievement, but I want to tell you that before, Tesla's autonomous driving and intelligence were very strong, but now our biggest competitor to Tesla has appeared."

Many engineers are actually not convinced that Musk has appointed Yan Qing as Asia Pacific president.

but,

When they heard that Tesla's sales in Dragon Country exceeded 20 last month, they were all shocked.

The previous Asia Pacific president often chatted with them, and they knew very well the previous sales volume of Tesla in Longguo.

Basically, it’s [-] to [-] yuan a month.

Now it exceeds 20 a month, which is enough to prove Yan Qing’s methods.

"Haha... I feel happy when I talk about this. I am very surprised by President Yan Qing's ability. Last month's sales were the highest in Tesla's history."

"Originally I wanted to talk about it at the annual general meeting next month, but now it has to be brought forward."

"In view of the results achieved by President Yan Qing, the board of directors, after discussion, decided to award President Yan an annual dividend reward of US$500 million."

$500.

Other engineers and executives were envious of Yan Qing when they heard Musk's words.

No one doesn’t love money, and Musk likes to reward his executives with real money.

But there have never been so many rewards at once.

It can be seen how much he prefers Yan Qing.

Musk also wanted to use this action to tell everyone how much he values ​​Yan Qing.

"Thank you Mr. Musk..."

Yan Qing was also surprised, but then he understood what Musk was thinking and was very grateful to him.

"Okay, now everyone in the technical field, let's talk. I have just one idea."

“All of our technologies at Tesla can only be ranked first in the world.”

"We must not be surpassed by others. Now that the autonomous driving we are proud of has been seriously threatened, what I can be sure of is that Tesla's sales in Longguo will definitely continue to decline."

"Kerry, Jayne, Bruce, I will give you six months. No matter how much money you spend, you must improve the anthropomorphism of intelligent AI to 95%. After six months, our autonomous driving level must be Reaching the level of Wuling.”

"Otherwise, our core competitiveness will be gone."

This time Wuling's autonomous driving gave Musk a deep sense of crisis.

He put this pressure on the entire R&D department.

There is no limit on spending this time, and results must be produced within six months.

"If other people from the Dragon Kingdom can do it, we can definitely do it too."

"Yes."

"We are America, the world's top engineers."

These engineers from the United States were very unconvinced. They quit the meeting directly, got up in the middle of the night, and went to the company for the meeting.

The first step is to find a way to build a Wuling Lightning to study the other party's autonomous driving.

In meetings, Musk has long been accustomed to the behavior of these people.

"Yan Qing, before our new autonomous driving is developed, I don't care what method you use, you must stabilize sales."

"Even if we sacrifice 90% of profits, we must stabilize sales."

If within this period of time, Tesla’s domestic sales cannot be stabilized.

Then even if Tesla develops the latest version of autonomous driving, it will be difficult to compete with Wuling.

So this can be considered a tough battle, the kind that involves risking one's life.

As long as the sales volume is stable, Tesla's brand awareness will still be able to dominate the world after the new autonomous driving is released.

"it is good."

Yan Qing nodded.

"Don't be nervous. Although we have a very strong opponent this time, only the stronger the opponent can we become stronger."

Musk said with a smile: "Actually, I'm really curious about what kind of person the boss of Wuling Motors is. I haven't paid attention to him before."

"I just asked my assistant to check the information of this car company. I was really impressed."

"In less than two years, a small, bankrupt car dealership has been transformed into a scale of tens of billions. If Wuling goes public, its market value will definitely exceed [-] billion US dollars based on its autonomous driving!"

"Next time I go to the Dragon Kingdom, I must meet this man and have a good chat with him."

Musk is very arrogant. As a technology nerd, there are only people like him in the world that he can look up to.

Regarding Wuling Motors, Musk feels that the rise of this car company is a miracle among miracles.

The person at the helm of this car company is definitely a genius among geniuses.

"If you have a chance, I'll introduce you to Wuling's boss."

Hearing that Musk spoke so highly of Qin Hao, Yan Qing felt extremely happy for some reason.

"Oh? Do you know the boss of Wuling?"

Musk discovered this keenly.

As a lover, the smile on Yan Qing's lips couldn't be concealed when he praised Wuling.

That can only illustrate one problem.

She has a relationship with Wuling's boss.

"We are very good friends and rivals. I already knew him when I was working at Mercedes-Benz."

Yan Qing explained.

Musk knew in his heart that the relationship between the two people was probably abnormal.

He held it in for a long time before finally saying something.

"Ms. Yan Qing, you are now the Asia-Pacific president of Tesla. I hope that your personal relationship will not affect your business judgment."

It’s impossible not to say this. The next few months will be very important to Truss.

If Yan Qing was bewitched by the other party and made a decision that was unfavorable to Truss, Musk would probably want to go home and kill them both.
