Domestic car manufacturing is weak, what does it have to do with our land tanks?

Chapter 117



“It’s like this, your company’s autonomous driving technology really shines at the auto show, and our Didi is a company specializing in road traffic. We want to work closely with Hongqi to develop an unmanned taxi system. By then, all taxis will not need drivers and will pick up and drop off passengers by themselves, which can completely unify the domestic taxi market!!”

Cheng Tao said.

He believes that he is fully confident of impressing Hongqi. At present, Didi has the largest passenger resources in the country.

Baidu Group has also done this project before, and has also worked closely with Didi.

However, because the field of autonomous driving is too difficult, it eventually burned a lot of money and gave up.

But Hongqi’s current technology has given them hope!

Once it is truly implemented.

By then, the profits generated by the entire domestic taxi market will be able to double their market value several times!!

“You mean you want to entrust us with a self-driving system that can automatically pick up passengers?”

Lu Yan hesitated for a moment and confirmed it with words.

“It is a deep cooperative development. It would be best if it could be deeply integrated with our Didi app, so that once the customer calls a taxi, a nearby car will automatically arrive.……”

Cheng Tao said.

Lu Yan listened and shook his head:

“Sorry, I’m afraid our Hongqi 23 can’t do this.……”

To be honest, this wish is absolutely wonderful for capital.

As long as a perfect algorithm is used, all manual labor can be perfectly replaced.

With the strength of Red Flag, there is no technical problem in developing such a system.

But the difficulty of the problem is not here.

“Uh… Mr. Lu, what do you mean? Are you kidding? Everyone knows the strength of Hongqi. You have achieved this level in autonomous driving. If you say you can’t do it, who else can? ?”

Cheng Tao was stunned. He felt that Hongqi was deliberately refusing.

He had watched all the demonstration videos. It can definitely reach the level of unmanned driving. No other company can do this except Hongqi.

Lu Yan said straight to the point:

“Mr. Cheng, since you are engaged in road driving, you should have a certain understanding of road traffic laws and current L3 level autonomous driving regulations.……”

“The goal of your Didi company is to completely replace all human drivers and take over the domestic taxi market. With a set of algorithms and self-driving vehicles, you can achieve zero labor costs and the lowest operating costs to make huge profits.”

Cheng Tao was stunned:”Yes, what’s wrong with this?”

Lu Yan continued:

“However, the current road traffic law stipulates that L3 autonomous driving can replace manual driving in 99% of road conditions, but there must still be someone to supervise the car during driving and prevent the 1% of accidents that cause personal and vehicle losses.”

“So even if we Hongqi has made such a system, you still need a qualified safety officer on your car, otherwise you can’t go on the road.”

Admittedly.

Hongqi’s current algorithm is already very powerful, but it is still within the L3 level.

The 1% of unexpected situations include a very small number of system misjudgments, sudden road conditions and force majeure, which must be taken over manually.

For example, natural disasters such as ice and snow, earthquakes, large-scale sudden damage to roads, and serial car accidents not caused by one’s own factors. In this case, as long as the self-driving car is involved, it will definitely be difficult to solve without manual processing, and it will also cause more obstacles to the road.

As soon as these words came out, even Cheng Tao frowned.

Does each car need to be supervised by a qualified safety officer?

What’s the difference between this and taking off your pants to fart?

Even if their Didi company purchased this algorithm, wouldn’t they still have to pay for labor costs, and would they still lose money at that time?

Lu Yan then added:

“However, the country currently has relevant laws and regulations for the pilot of autonomous driving vehicles on fixed roads. On fixed routes within the city, unmanned vehicle operations can be realized within a certain range. The previous technology was not up to standard and was only limited to a very small range.”

“But if you are willing to cooperate, with our Hongqi as the main body, purchase a full set of perception hardware to install on the vehicle, and share the profit of the payment algorithm, then it should be possible to achieve driverless vehicles picking up passengers in at least one-half of the city.”

“Of course, human safety officers should also be set up at the nodes of each urban road section so that they can arrive and deal with emergencies in time.”

Lu Yan proposed a plan.

At present, Hongqi has not yet achieved the ability to achieve unmanned driving in the whole country or even the world.

But it is completely possible to achieve unmanned taxi driving within one-third or even one-half of the area of each city.

And it is also in full compliance with national traffic regulations.

After listening to it, Cheng Tao couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Although the one-half area of the country’s cities cannot completely save labor, it also saves a lot of labor costs.

This is still exciting!

However, he noticed the problem of sharing raised by Lu Yan

“I wonder how much of the software algorithm share you want from Hongqi?” he asked.

Lu Yan said:”After deducting the net profit of operation and labor costs, we want 70% for Hongqi. There is another requirement that road safety officers should be recruited from the unemployed Didi drivers themselves.”

Once large-scale unmanned driving is realized, it may cause a large number of full-time drivers to lose their jobs. Lu Yan does not want a large number of innocent people to be affected by the actions of the two companies.

Of course, everything has its pros and cons. (To read the violent novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

For example, recently Tesla’s factory has lost a large number of workers due to poor sales orders.

However, several domestic car companies have made efforts, but they are constantly recruiting ordinary workers, and even feel that there are not enough people, which has made the economy of several industrial cities more vibrant.

From a macro perspective, the rise of domestic enterprise technology will definitely bring better economic recovery effects.

Cheng Tao did not consider this at all, but frowned slightly, thinking that the share ratio was too strict:

“Mr. Lu… 70% is too high! You want us to buy the hardware, and we have to share the software, but we are the ones who attract the customer resources!!”

Lu Yan said with a smile:

“This is something that you, Mr. Cheng, can only consider on your own. We have a lot of business recently at Hongqi, and we may need to accept cooperation from other companies. When you are interested, we will communicate again.”

After that,

Lu Yan hung up.

The taxi industry is a way to make money, but after all, it can only realize unmanned driving in some areas.[]

Compared with selling batteries and algorithms to other car companies, the profits are completely incomparable.

Moreover, he believes that Didi is not the only one in the industry that is anxious. There will be no worries about no one contacting them when the time comes. This aspect can be laid out slowly.

…………

On the other hand, in addition to the constant turmoil in the domestic automotive industry, a joint military exercise that has attracted the attention of many military fans around the world has also kicked off.

This military exercise was organized by China and Russia. As we all know, in addition to testing equipment, the biggest role of international activities such as joint military exercises is to demonstrate combat power and deterrence to countries with potential conflicts. After all, if a country is publicly targeted as the”imaginary enemy 977″, it is very unfriendly.

China does not care.

But everyone knows that

Russia has been in constant friction with Russia some time ago, and many countries are trying to fish in troubled waters…

It has almost made Russia really angry, and it can’t wait to show deterrence to the outside world.

So , this military exercise was soon held.

Although the overall scale is not large, with only two brigades of the army participating, it can be seen that the two countries attach great importance to it.

Russia attaches importance to it-because it is eager to demonstrate its strength and deterrence.

As for China’s importance, it is because Russia’s military strength is indeed not to be underestimated. After all, it is the second highest in the world. If it is not taken seriously, the pressure will be great.

“General Suvorov, what do you think of this military exercise? Are you under pressure to deal with the military exchanges with China?”

On the side of the Russian military.

As the commander of this exercise, General Ivorov was questioned by international reporters before the war.

The Russian character is quite straightforward, and he responded to the interview in the same style as always.

“Pressure? The bear is never afraid of pressure!”

“This time we will achieve victory within ten days!!”

General Ivolov said.

The international journalists’ eyes lit up and they added fuel to the fire and asked

“Is it the result of victory? ?”

Hearing this,

General Ivolov frowned.

Although he was honest, he would not say such a low political IQ statement, which would affect the exchanges between the two countries.

“No…I mean���Friendly competition, exchanging equipment, the process is important, who wins or loses is not important!!”

Although he said so. But his face was full of confidence and wildness, and his eagerness to win was almost written on his face..
