Chapter 645 Simplified Unmanned Driving
Different from the original DAS system, after the ADAS system is equipped, the driving mode of the vehicle has also become three options. In addition to the previous normal driving mode and assisted driving mode, a semi-automatic driving mode has been added!

But what does this semi-autonomous driving mode mean?
Does that mean you can drive with one hand?

"Mr. Zhou, you can take your hands away." Ramsey on the side said to Zhou Fei with a smile after switching the driving mode.

"Is it like this?" Zhou Fei raised his left hand, placed it on the back of his head, and asked suspiciously.

"The other hand can also be removed," Ramsey continued.

"Like this?" Zhou Fei put his right hand on the back of his head again, but subconsciously put his left hand on the steering wheel.

"No, I mean, Mr. Zhou's hands can be removed at the same time." Ramsey explained with a smile.

Take it away at the same time?

Zhou Fei was stunned for a while, how could he drive if he didn't let go of the steering wheel?

But immediately, Zhou Fei's face burst into ecstasy, "Could it be...you can already drive automatically?"

Doesn't require the driver to control with both hands, isn't that automatic driving?
"Mr. Zhou, try it first, and I'll tell you about it later." Ramsay said deliberately.

"Okay, I'll try." Said, Zhou Fei gently raised his left hand, but within a few seconds, he suddenly put both hands on the steering wheel again.

I am used to touching the steering wheel while driving, but now I am sitting in the driver's seat and suddenly told him not to touch the steering wheel. Zhou Fei is really not used to it, and he doesn't know where to put his hands. Subconsciously, he wants to put his hands on the steering wheel , it seems that only in this way can Zhou Fei gain a sense of security.

Seeing Zhou Fei's bewildered look, Ramsey on the side couldn't help but smile. When Lin Hua operated like this for the first time, it was exactly the same as Zhou Fei now.

"How about we switch seats, Mr. Zhou takes the co-pilot, and I take the driver's seat, what do you think?" Ramsey asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, I can try again." Zhou Fei shook his head quickly and said, although there was an inexplicable fear in his heart, but more excitement and anticipation. Besides, since Ramsey dared to let himself do this, then It shows that he must have confidence.

After taking a deep breath, Zhou Fei slowly took his hands away from the steering wheel again, first holding the back of his head, and then putting it on his legs, but his eyes were focused on the front.

And after Zhou Fei took his hands off the steering wheel, the car didn't show a particularly obvious change, but Zhou Fei could clearly feel that the car was accelerating!
Accelerating automatically!
Zhou Fei's feet obviously didn't step on the accelerator, but the speed of the car was slowly picking up!

Fortunately, the vehicles are still running straight now, and there are no obstacles on the road, Zhou Fei's hanging heart also slowly fell.

But soon, Zhou Fei became nervous again, because the road ahead was a gravel road!
Driving at the current speed, if no measures are taken, the direction of the vehicle will inevitably lose control!
"Mr. Zhou, don't step on the brakes." Just as Zhou Fei was about to use his left foot, Ramsey suddenly reminded him.

Zhou Fei looked at Ramsey suspiciously, and finally withdrew his left foot, choosing to trust Ramsey, but his body was still in a state of high tension.

Just when the vehicle was about to drive into the gravel road at a distance of about three meters, the speed of the vehicle slowed down significantly, and on the entire gravel road, the vehicle was able to maintain a generally stable direction, and the vehicle did not lose control. Zhou Fei's The body also slowly relaxed.

After walking the gravel road, the speed of the vehicle increased again, and Zhou Fei was completely relaxed, looking at Ramsey with excitement and doubts in his eyes, "What's going on? I remember When the ADAS system was developed, there were no such high-end functions!"

This is definitely the happiest thing for Zhou Fei since the beginning of the year. Judging from the performance of the vehicle just now, it seems that it is one step closer to realizing driverless driving!
"This is also an accidental result of our team. We did not expect to realize such a function. When we added functional modules such as visual computing to the original DAS system, such a magical scene appeared. After we perfected the algorithm Later, such a semi-autonomous driving mode was added,” Ramsey explained with a smile.

"The reason why Mr. Zhou was not allowed to step on the brakes just now is because this function is not yet perfect. Manual driving and the current mode cannot be switched at will. After stepping on the brakes, the vehicle will really lose control. Therefore, this driving mode, It will only appear during testing, and this mode will not appear in the real mass-produced ADAS system." Ramsey continued.

While the two were talking, the vehicle had arrived at the corner of the runway, and Ramsey also changed the driving mode to normal driving mode, and reminded Zhou Fei to turn manually.

"The reason why it is called semi-autonomous driving is largely because the current function can only be used as a demonstration, and it cannot be widely used, and the intelligence of the entire system cannot reach such a high level, especially when turning. If there is no manual operation, the turning angle will deviate greatly." Seeing that Zhou Fei was a little puzzled, Ramsey explained.

"How much deviation can there be?" Zhou Fei asked curiously.

"Then why don't we try it at the next turn?" Ramsey replied with a smile.

"Okay, then give it a try." Zhou Fei nodded without hesitation. Anyway, it will automatically slow down when turning, and the surrounding area is very empty. No matter how the angle deviates, it will not cause a catastrophe.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Fei learned from Ramsey's previous operation, and switched the driving mode back to the semi-automatic driving mode, and then put his hands on the back of the chair, resting his head on his hands, so that he was no longer nervous.

Soon, the vehicle came to the next turning.

"Mr. Zhou, hold the seat up, it might be a little... floating." Ramsey reminded Zhou Fei with a smile, while holding the seat with both hands.

Zhou Fei didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly followed Ramsey's example, holding the seat tightly with both hands.

Soon, the speed of the vehicle slowly slowed down, and then Zhou Fei saw that the steering wheel also turned at an angle, but there was indeed a big deviation in the angle control, which was far behind normal drivers. It looks like a novice who has just learned to drive is turning.

Although the speed has dropped, it has not dropped to an appropriate level after all. In addition, the turning angle is too large, the vehicle tilted obviously, and the bodies of Zhou Fei and Ramsey sitting inside also turned to the right in an instant. Tilting, if Zhou Fei hadn't grasped the seat tightly in advance, Zhou Fei's head would have hit the inner wall right now.
