Great Power Army Reclamation

Chapter 2602 Public opinion is guided

Self-driving taxis soon became a landscape in Junken City, attracting many media reporters to interview.

There are also some self-media bloggers and big Vs who have started live broadcasts on driverless taxis.

For a time, all the Chinese people knew about this matter, and some rich and idle people went to Junken City to experience it.

Junken City was originally a gathering place for foreigners, and most of them were people with status.

Although these people don’t take taxis very often, how could they not experience such a new thing?

So, foreign media also began to join the dissemination army. The Internet has no delay. Basically, wherever the media goes, the news will start to spread at the first time.

As we all know, the pace of foreign countries, especially Western countries, is relatively slow.

This slow pace is actually full of various industries and corners, even hospitals.

If you are sick, you have to make an appointment with a doctor first, but when it’s your turn to see a doctor, the disease is basically cured.

The same is true for the taxi industry. There are not many taxis in the industry. Except in busy places, if you want to order a taxi, you really need patience to wait.

And driverless taxis are exactly what Westerners urgently need.

This thing is not limited to time and place. It will definitely arrive within the specified time on the Internet or by phone. If it fails to arrive, you will be compensated.

How could ordinary people not like such a thing? So, people in the United States and Europe began to talk about it.

As we all know, there are parliamentary systems over there. What do the parliamentarians do? They wander around with their salaries all day long. Isn’t it just to listen to public opinion, put forward it, and implement it after discussion by the parliament? Be a good leader who works for the people.

You must know that every member of parliament is elected by the people. If they do nothing, they will collect salaries all day or seek convenience for their own business, and they will not be elected in the next term.

Selfishness is human nature. It is not that these members of parliament are really dedicated to the people. They just want to use their status to do things for themselves.

But this status is given by the people, so naturally they have to give back some, otherwise they will change people.

As a result, many congressmen began to write letters detailing the benefits of driverless taxis and suggested that the government introduce or call on companies to develop them.

When there are enough voices, the government will have to pay attention to them, because convenience and safety are more important than the opposition of taxi workers.

As we all know, the United States is composed of 50 states and a special district.

The relationship between the United States and the states is based on the principle of federalism. There is no direct superior-subordinate relationship between the federal government and the state government, but two parallel governments.

The federal government is mainly responsible for national affairs, such as defense and diplomacy.

The state government is responsible for state affairs, such as education and medical care. This relationship enables the United States to maintain a certain degree of flexibility and independence, while also ensuring the unity and stability of the country.

The federal government is responsible for national fiscal needs, such as defense and federal project funding, while the state government manages state fiscal needs, such as education and state infrastructure.

The federal government has the highest command of the country's military forces, including the army, navy, air force, etc., and each state has its own National Guard, which may be called up by the federal government in a national emergency.

The federal government makes national laws through Congress, while state governments make state laws in their own state legislatures, and these laws must comply with the provisions of the federal constitution.

In other words, if you want to promote driverless taxis, then it can only be implemented independently by state governments, and the federal government only has the right to suggest, not the right to decide.

In principle, the US federal government is not friendly to China at present, partly because of ideological differences and partly because it is a competitor.

State governments can only consider the interests of their own states, but the federal government cannot, because they need to stand at the highest level to decide their own positions and attitudes.

The last time the Warrior electric car was curbed was the federal government's move. Later, the people of each state spoke out, and then the local courts made efforts, and the Warrior Group quickly won.

And this time, the taxi move in Junken City has undoubtedly achieved such results. This is unexpected.

Originally, I wanted to make a sample, so that I could use it as an example to explain when promoting it in the future, but the media did it by the way.

After Ye Feng learned the news, he called his father to ask, and he naturally knew that Ye Yuze would not shoot without purpose.

Ye Yuze did not hide it from him and told him his plan. Ye Feng said "got it" and hung up the phone.

After children grow up, they usually talk the least to their father. Basically, there is no nonsense. If there is something to say, they talk about it. If there is nothing to say, they go away.

The joy of family life only exists when children are young, which is why grandfathers love their grandchildren.

It is the same with Yang Wei. Although he stays at home all day, he basically doesn't talk to Yang Geyong.

If Yang Geyong stays in the living room, Yang Wei will definitely stay in his room. On the contrary, Yang Chenglong is always around his grandfather.

Yang Geyong doesn't like to stay at home now, mainly because Zhao Linger has retired. The two of them quarrel when they meet.

For decades, Zhao Linger's temper has basically not changed. She is still so hot-tempered, and Yang Geyong has not changed much either.

The only harmonious thing was the grandson Yang Chenglong. Every time the two quarreled, Yang Chenglong would wave his hands and call out:

"Hey, stop quarreling. Can't you see that I'm annoyed?"

The two of them would be quiet for a while and play with their grandson, but it wouldn't last long and they would start all over again.

Yang Wei and Ye Qianqian discussed it and simply moved out, saying that it was convenient for work.

Yang Geyong naturally understood why his son was quarreling, but he didn't pay any attention to them. After all, when the parents-in-law quarreled, the daughter-in-law didn't know what to say. Anyway, just put the grandson down to him.

So, when Liu Qinghua decided to go to New York, Yang Geyong discussed with Ye Yuze to go together.

Ye Yuze originally wanted to stay at home to watch his grandson and accompany his wife, but Yang Geyong insisted on leaving, so he followed him.

Unexpectedly, Yang Geyong ran away secretly and brought Yang Chenglong with him. Ye Yuze followed suit and kidnapped Ye Guigen.

As a result, the phone was ringing while he was still in the sky. First, Zhao Linger was desperate and scolded Yang Geyong, and then wanted to follow.

Yang Geyong didn't care. It's up to you. Come if you want. You haven't been out much anyway.

Although he has a domineering personality, he can't do anything about his wife. When she comes, he can find a way to hide.

Zhao Linger is not stupid. She doesn't dare to go, so she goes to find Yu'e and wants to take her with her.

Unexpectedly, Yu'e doesn't want to go to Boston. It's useless for her to persuade her.

But this woman is not someone who will give up easily? And she doesn't care about other people's feelings at all. She drags her hard.

Yu'e is kind and soft, so she can only agree to accompany her on the trip, mainly because she also wants grandchildren.

When Ye Guigen and Yang Chenglong arrived in Boston, they were happy to see so many children.

Humans are social animals. Since childhood, they like to be lively, so the group of children here make them very excited.

Originally, Ye Hong and Ye Bai were the youngest here, but suddenly these two little ones came, and they finally got promoted.

Moreover, it was not only their age that got promoted, but also their generation. They became uncles and aunts.

Jackie Chan and Guigen were just over two weeks old this year, and they could run around everywhere, but they were not very stable.

Their speech was also sometimes clear and sometimes vague.

The children here spoke Chinese and English at times, which also confused them, after all, they had never been exposed to English.

However, the children's language talent was amazing. Under the guidance of these children, they soon mastered simple words.

Ye Feng was naturally happy that his son came. He ran home every day when he had time. The little guy was unfamiliar with him. He was a little repulsive.

However, Ye Feng made his son close to him in one day. It was the nature of father and son, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Now the public opinion here is still on the crest of the wave, and the call for self-driving taxis is getting louder and louder.

The federal government has already begun to guide and try to downplay this matter, and even some conspiracy theories have emerged.

It is nothing more than the argument that such taxis will pose a threat to national security, and they are well-founded.

The people of any country are prone to blindly follow. After all, there are only a few professional talents. Once a few prestigious experts fool around, a large number of people will believe it and soon follow suit.

"Boycott foreign products, boycott warrior cars."

Of course, professionals soon began to oppose this argument. They refuted this statement in detail from a professional perspective, with reason and evidence, and soon gained the upper hand.

The legislators and officials closely watched the direction of public opinion. Most of them were fence-sitters, who would side with the wind and speak ambiguously.

But some of them had obvious tendencies from the beginning.

For example, they supported the introduction of self-driving taxis, or firmly opposed the introduction of self-driving taxis.

Susie is a legislator from Massachusetts, so she naturally attaches importance to public opinion from this state.

You must know that Massachusetts is a large industrial state, and 80% of the population is engaged in industry, commerce and services.

The industry is mainly engaged in the manufacture of electronic equipment and machinery. Traditional industries include textiles, shoemaking and shipbuilding.

Well-known products include: Waltham, Salem and Boston clocks, Gardner skates, Greenfield knives, Springfield motorcycles, Peabody leather goods, Hollock paper, Newburyport silverware and Boston razor blades.

Harvard University in Massachusetts is a member of the Ivy League and ranks first in the United States.

And three universities belong to the Seven Sisters: Mount Holyoke College, Smith College and Wellesley College.

Technology-oriented universities include MIT and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, as well as Clark University, which is well-known for psychology and geography.

Famous colleges and universities located near the Midwest in the state include the five colleges in the Pioneer Valley (Mount Saint Eugene College, Smith College, Amherst College, Hampshire College, the headquarters of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst) and Williams College.

Music schools include Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory of Music.

The state has a population of nearly 7 million, and its per capita income ranks among the top three in the United States, so it naturally has a lot of say.

Because Susie was opposed to the government's sanctions on warrior electric vehicles last time, she was naturally classified as a supporter of self-driving taxis in this electric vehicle incident.

But strangely, Susie did not show any inclination this time, and she was very cautious in her public statements. Many people thought that she did not seem to support the introduction of self-driving taxis.

Nowadays, Warrior electric cars have begun to enter thousands of households, and their shadows can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Because good driving feel and outstanding appearance are undoubtedly the biggest plus points.

Of course, the configuration is very important, with a large display screen, comfortable and massageable seats. There are also electric adjustment functions, which show the difference from traditional fuel vehicles everywhere.

Every car owner will show off how great his car is, making others jealous.

Of course, there will always be a group of nostalgic people. When automatic transmission cars have become popular, aren’t there still a group of people who like old-fashioned transmission cars?

So, don’t speculate on this kind of thing with common sense. This is called personality.

People who own Warrior electric cars are naturally supporters of self-driving taxis.

In the United States, cars are people’s legs. It is basically difficult to move without a car. This is also related to their living habits.

Most Chinese people like to live in cities. The more lively the place, the more people there are.

But Americans prefer to live in quiet places, so most people with good conditions live in the suburbs. And they are all single-family villas.

Such residential areas are often sparse and far from supermarkets and commercial areas, so cars are needed to buy groceries and daily necessities.

Although every household here has a car, there are always people who can't drive for various reasons, so taxis have become an important means of transportation.

And the taxis here are really expensive. For low-income people, they can't take taxis often and can't afford it.

So self-driving taxis have become their hope.

You know, the oil price here is very low, and the reason why taxis are expensive is that drivers need to make money.

In addition, people here like to take vacations and don't like to work overtime, so taking a taxi has become a matter of luck.

It is normal that you can't get a taxi for one or two hours. What does your urgent matter have to do with the driver?

Susie is actually busy with this matter now. She is counting the base of this part of people.

You know, no matter which country, the bottom population is the largest. They get the minimum wage, eat the cheapest food, but do the heaviest work.

Susie is very close to the people, especially those at the bottom of society. She likes to visit every household and ask about their demands.

The reason why she became a federal congressman so quickly has a lot to do with this.

I am here, how about you?
