Chapter 663 Driverless Tour (2)

After hearing Ramsey's words, Zhou Fei quickly turned on the computer. Sure enough, he saw the email in his mailbox. After clicking on the attachment, Zhou Fei couldn't wait to read it.

The video is divided into two parts. The first part is a three-dimensional dynamic simulation. In this part, the vehicle can drive normally along the road without a driver according to the established procedures, and can brake, All operations such as avoidance and acceleration.

The second part of the video is the actual measurement stage. The Tesla, which has undergone software and hardware upgrades, is also driving on an empty road. Whether it is turning or avoiding obstacles, all of them can perform perfectly. accident.

Although the entire test video is only less than 2 minutes, which means that the measured distance is not too long, but for the automotive industry, this is definitely a historic moment, because he announced that the driverless driving has achieved zero breakthrough , This is a thing worthy of being recorded in history!

"Mr. Zhou, have you seen all the content of the video?" A few minutes later, Ramsey's voice came from Zhou Fei's ear again.

"See, please give me a detailed introduction to the progress of unmanned driving." Zhou Fei suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to ask.

"The current development of the unmanned driving system has ended. The content shown in the first part of the video is the theoretical result of our first-generation unmanned driving system, but this is only a relatively primitive system. The artificial intelligence embedded in it It is impossible for the system to think like a human brain, or in other words, AI may never reach the level of a human brain, Zhou always understands these words, right?"

Although artificial intelligence was proposed to replace the thinking of the human brain, so far, there is nothing as "sophisticated" as the human brain. Taking the driver as an example, when an emergency occurs, the driver The reaction made at that moment includes not only human instinct, but also accumulated experience in the past, and even the information collected at that moment, but whether AI can do this is still in doubt.

Maybe one day in the future, the level of artificial intelligence will be further improved, but Zhou Fei still finds it a bit unbelievable to want to reach the same level as the human brain, or even surpass the human brain, so he naturally understands Ramsey's meaning.

However, although it is impossible for artificial intelligence to play at the level of the human brain, it does not mean that unmanned driving has no research value. Through certain algorithm compilation, it is still possible to replace existing drivers with unmanned driving. big possible.

"I can understand what you said, you continue to talk." Zhou Fei replied immediately.

"Theoretically, the current unmanned driving system can drive automatically on normal road conditions, and make a series of responses according to the corresponding situation. Mr. Zhou should have seen the second part of the video, such as turning, braking and accelerating. And other basic operations are achievable, and there were no problems in the first two tests. In the next stage, we plan to test in more complex road conditions, adding factors such as traffic signals and pedestrians, to see if the vehicle can react correctly."

Ramsay continued.

Unmanned driving test is a step-by-step process, which needs to be carried out in order from simple to difficult, so as to ensure that the final unmanned vehicle can perfectly perform the driving task.

"When will the work you mentioned be completed?" Zhou Fei continued to ask.

"If all the testing work is completed, it should be in mid-January next year. Why, does Mr. Zhou have any requirements?" Ramsey replied.

"I want to do a driverless public tour before Tesla officially rings the bell and goes public. Can you organize it?" Zhou Fei replied immediately.

Unmanned driving is part of Tesla's business scope. If a driverless tour can be carried out before listing, it will be a catalyst for Tesla's stock price, which will definitely make the stock price go up again. One floor!

This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Fei chose to start the listing process of Tesla this year, because all the news is positive for Tesla's stock price.

"Tesla's bell will go public, when will it be?"

If you want to organize an unmanned public tour, then Ramsey needs to do a lot more work. Not only must you work hard on the accuracy of unmanned driving, but you must also prepare a batch of unmanned vehicles in advance. convoy.

"It will be around March next year." Zhou Fei thought for a moment, then replied.

If the stock issuance starts in January, the remaining stages should be completed soon, and the listing in March should not be a problem, but Zhou Fei has to discuss this with JPMorgan underwriting groups.

"That's no problem, even if the results are bad, all my testing work can be completed in February, and I will definitely be able to organize a public tour before going public." Ramsey replied with a smile.

Everything is available in time.

In the following time, Zhou Fei had a detailed chat with Ramsey about the unmanned driving situation, and finally emphasized, "Your side will notify me as soon as you are ready, and don't forget that I will The first passenger of the driverless car, no one is allowed to take my place."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Fei couldn't help but rubbed his hands. Two good news came in a row. Zhou Fei's disposition may not be able to suppress the excitement in his heart.

After calming down his excitement, Zhou Fei shared with Jiang Yang, Ma Huafu and others about the progress of unmanned driving and the public tour of unmanned driving. I heard that Ramsey has already realized it. Don't mention how happy a few people are about the preliminary research on unmanned driving.

In the following time, Zhou Fei paid attention to Tesla's listing preparations, and at the same time learned about Ramsey's research progress. These two things are now closely related. In the final analysis, they are actually one thing.

In this way, the time quickly entered December.During this period of time, both Ma Huafu and Ramsey have reported good news. Tesla's listing counseling has entered the final stage, and it will be over in about ten days.

Ramsey's unmanned driving test is also progressing smoothly. In the past two months, Ramsey has conducted more than 20 real vehicle tests for unmanned driving. In the next day, the system will be modified and improved according to the data obtained from the test, so as to ensure that the unmanned vehicle can complete the driving work under various road conditions.

According to Ramsey, in another month, even if the second phase of unmanned driving is completed, a public tour can be formally organized.
