Chapter 113
Ma Dongyuan is an early owner of Hongqi S9.
He is also a freelancer.
As a writer, he has published many articles on the platform and is also an art photographer.
With several years of persistence, he has achieved personal financial freedom.
After mentioning the Hongqi S9 car in a relatively early period, he wrote tweets specifically for the Hongqi brand and took many photos.
Later, with the trend of Hongqi’s popularity, he gained a large number of fans.
As a technology enthusiast, he bought out Hongqi’s automatic driving package as soon as possible.
On this day.
He came out of the mall to buy groceries and was about to go home.
Sitting in the seat, a message suddenly appeared on the lit car computer
“What? The latest update… can the autonomous driving be enabled?!”
Ma Dongyuan’s eyes lit up, and he could see the joy in his eyebrows!
Hongqi’s public release time is today, and the autonomous driving system of all cars in the country will be enabled. However, due to the delay of the system, there will be a delay of several hours to one day in different regions.
He has been waiting since he bought it out, but he didn’t expect that it would be his turn on the first day!!
“Okay, now you can try it.……”
Thinking of the functions introduced at the auto show last night, he was very excited. He took a photo immediately.
He sent a message in the Hongqi car owner communication group.
Then he clicked on the car computer update.
The car computer immediately turned off and an update display bar was displayed.
The progress bar grew very fast, and the entire car computer restarted in less than three minutes.
From the system interface, it seems that there is no difference.
But the button on the left side of the steering wheel that turns on the ACC assisted driving has now become the switch for global navigation driving.
Ma Dongyuan opened the live broadcast of the car owner group
“Brothers, I have finished the update here, and I will show you the latest automatic driving function!!”
……
Dozens of car owners and a few passers-by immediately came into the live broadcast room.
“Oh my god, so fast?”
“Ma, please try it. I bought it yesterday, but I haven’t received the notification yet!!”
“Brother, open it and take a look. I haven’t bought it yet. I think 80,000 is a bit too much. I’m going to wait for the daily rental price.……”
“Let’s see if it’s as amazing as what they said at the auto show?”
……
Facing the crowd of riders
, Ma Dongyuan was very happy. Although he was only given a push notification in advance, it was still a great feeling to be noticed. This was also his first time using the app, so he was ready to try it out.
“I’ll try navigation first…`…”
“Hongqi – Navigate to the parking lot of Building xxx, Huayuan Community, Longgang Vanke City.
He navigated directly to the parking lot of his own community. As soon as he finished speaking , the soft voice of the Hongqi car machine rang out.
“OK, do you want to turn on the full-area autonomous driving navigation?”
“”Yes.”
Ma Dongyuan replied. He immediately felt a slight push on his back.
He was surprised to find that when the navigation started, the car automatically shifted gears and drove out of the parking space in the mall where he was currently.
“Wow, so smooth!!”
Ma Dongyuan was a little surprised.
There were quite a lot of cars parked in the parking lot of the mall where he was currently staying, and some cars were parked next to the wall. When he turned, he still needed to observe the distance, but after the car turned on the automatic driving system, it drove past these cars very smoothly without any stagnation.
“Hello, car owner. We have detected that this is a toll parking lot. We are about to arrive at the toll exit. Please pay attention to scan the code to pay.”
The voice of Hongqi sounded.
Ma Dongyuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code on the wall to pay.
After the car drove onto the road, he drove like an experienced driver, advancing and retreating in a reasonable manner. He followed the car in front closely and maintained a certain distance.
You should know that the road conditions in the city of Guangdong are very complicated, and the behaviors of cutting in and crossing the line are very serious. (To read the novel of Baoshuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
As he was about to reach the most crowded section of the road, Ma Dongyuan began to worry.
Although the current automatic driving performance of this car is very experienced, it is still too gentle after all. If you encounter someone who cuts in forcefully, you may suffer a loss, resulting in low traffic efficiency.
At this moment, the voice of Hongqi sounded again.[]
“Hello, car owner, frequent congested roads are detected. The current commuting efficiency is low in normal mode. In order to improve your efficiency, do you need to start the fast commuting mode? This mode will produce some strong acceleration and tilt, please confirm carefully.”
Ma Dongyuan was stunned for a moment.
He quickly reacted.
Hongqi’s automatic driving system actually has different modes for different road conditions and sections??
“”Yes, yes!”
Ma Dongyuan replied immediately.
Soon his eyes gradually widened.
With a thud, the driving mode of the whole vehicle was switched to”sports mode”. The fastest gear of Hongqi S9 is 2.7 seconds of acceleration, and the normal sports mode also has a strong acceleration of 4.5 seconds, which is enough to cope with the traffic conditions.
The moment the power mode is switched, a sense of push comes spontaneously!!
“My slot……”
“Oh my god!”
Facing the bustling convoy on the elevated road, this car seemed to have changed its character all of a sudden, with its power rising sharply, turning into a swimming fish, weaving in and out of the lanes, and starting to take advantage of every opportunity!!
And it was very flexible.
Ma Dongyuan’s eyes widened, and he cursed repeatedly!!
There were some lanes where he would not have had time to react, or would have hesitated.
But this car did not even hesitate, as if the most professional racing driver had calculated the perfect overtaking opportunity, and did not even cause much trouble to the car behind.
As long as it saw an opportunity, it would keep moving forward.
In the live broadcast room
“.Damn, you can drive so fast in a traffic jam?”
“Damn, this is too cool.”
“I admit, this autopilot system is a little bit more advanced than I thought!!”
“Is this uncivilized? Crazy overtaking on a crowded road?”
“You can see clearly that the Hongqi car has very good control over the overtaking opportunities. Although the speed is very fast, it is civilized to overtake. And the cars behind it are those slow cars that deliberately slow down in the fast lane and the middle of the road. Some of them will affect the overtaking distance of the following cars. Instead, it will look for other opportunities. In summary, it is civilized and technically excellent.……”
“Oh my god! I usually get a headache when I see this kind of traffic jam, but this car seems to be driving much faster than me!!”
……
According to Ma Dongyuan’s usual driving habits, it would take at least 20 minutes to drive through such an elevated highway.
But with the perfect automatic driving of this car, it only took 12 minutes to pass!
After passing, the car computer even more considerately automatically switched back to the normal automatic driving mode, no longer as aggressive as before
“I’m impressed. If I wasn’t sitting in the driver’s seat (of Qian Li’s car), I would even feel like a super veteran driver who has been driving for ten years.”
“But then, the most difficult part came. My parking lot is very narrow, and even the parking spaces have been reduced by the developer. Let’s see if this car can park in perfectly.”
Ma Dongyuan said to the live broadcast room.
To be honest
, driving outside is secondary. What bothers him most is his own parking lot. It is too crowded, the distance between parking spaces is close, and some people’s quality is not good.
But soon, the car automatically went down to the parking lot and began to identify the parking space.
After seeing the picture displayed by the car computer, Ma Dongyuan manually selected a parking space.
For this parking space, he usually has to put a lot of plates and spend several minutes.
But under the operation of the car, the whole process was completed. It took only one minute for the car to be completely parked. Every adjustment was made at the perfect distance of the front, back, left and right limits. There were several times when Ma Dongyuan felt that the car had already hit it and almost couldn’t help stepping on the brakes, but the facts proved that this car drove better than him!.
