Chapter 1083: Smart Cars

"This ......"

After hearing Bai Ningyuan's words, Sun Ying's train of thought paused for a moment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

To be honest, even if he is already very familiar with it, Sun Ying is still very unaccustomed to Bai Ningyuan's leapfrog thinking.

However, he is not the kind of person who eats a corpse meal, and after reacting quickly, he smiled at Bai Ningyuan and said, "Isn't the next step to launch a new model?" With the help of Land Rover's technology and development strength, a new concept prototype has been developed, as the prototype of EMP's new electric SUV and the next generation of Land Rover models, now with the increase in people's income, the demand for urban SUVs is also increasing, the next step, SUV will be an important market, plus we can not give up the launch of new models, because if we are complacent, for our types of enterprises, it is undoubtedly equivalent to death. ”

Sun Ying's answer is a decent answer, and there are no too prominent highlights, and this is also one of Sun Ying's characteristics, that is, pragmatism.

From the moment he made up his mind to follow Bai Ningyuan to make a career, Bai Ningyuan was in charge of his imagination, and Sun Ying was the one who was responsible for turning his imagination into reality.

Therefore, Sun Ying's answer now means that this is something that EMP is working on.

He is right, in the future, there will indeed be a golden age of SUVs, but what Bai Ningyuan wants to say is not just that.

"Brother-in-law, when I say the future, I mean the further back, that is to say, the SUV has been made, and the new generation of Falcon, including other model series, has also been made......" Bai Ningyuan was slightly silent, and then continued to Sun Ying.

Hearing Bai Ningyuan's words, Sun Ying was slightly stunned at first, and then the whole person was involuntarily silent, and after a long time, he raised his head with a bitter look on his face: "I won't tell you, I really haven't thought about this, after all, the work you just said is at least enough for me to work hard for three or four years or even longer......

When he said these words to Bai Ningyuan, Sun Ying didn't mean anything embarrassed, he didn't have any shame because he didn't think what Bai Ningyuan thought, in his cognition, he was more down-to-earth to do a good job in the company's current business.

As he said, the next EMP work will take at least three or four years to complete, or even longer, and such a long time is enough for him to slowly think about the next step.

Hearing Sun Ying's words, Bai Ningyuan also laughed, but he didn't continue on the topic just now, but said directly to Sun Ying: "Brother-in-law, have you ever thought about what the next generation of cars will be like?"

Sun Ying didn't answer, and his silence was already the best answer.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, after more than 100 years of development, the automobile industry has reached a bottleneck, or a place close to the end, because the process has been constantly mature, and more can only use various new technologies.

In many science fiction movies, the answer has actually been given.

Of course, science fiction movies are science fiction movies after all, and as a business person, what Bai Ningyuan and Sun Ying discussed is something that can be applied to reality.

"In my thoughts, I will name the next generation of cars as smart cars, just like the current smartphones!" Bai Ningyuan said his thoughts to Sun Ying.

"Smart car?" Sun Ying chewed the term slowly, and then, he raised his head, looked at Bai Ningyuan with a bit of incredulity in his eyes, and then spit out a word in surprise: "Autopilot?"

Through this word, he almost naturally thought of this, and coupled with this naming method, he also seemed to be able to sense Bai Ningyuan's ambition.

Once, when Bai Ningyuan launched Lophone, he redefined mobile phones with this product named smart phone, and in the future, he will also launch smart cars to change the situation in the automotive industry.

"Almost, but can not be simply described by automatic driving, in detail, it should be a set of environmental perception, planning and decision-making, multi-level assisted driving and other functions in one of the integrated system, it focuses on the use of computer, modern sensing, information fusion, communication, artificial intelligence and automatic control and other technologies, is a typical high-tech complex. Bai Ningyuan said to Sun Ying in detail, "If you say it in more detail, it is to add sensors, controllers, actuators and other devices based on radar and camera equipment on the basis of ordinary vehicles, and realize intelligent information exchange with people, vehicles, roads, etc. through on-board sensing systems and information terminals, so that the vehicle has intelligent environmental perception capabilities, can automatically analyze the safety and danger status of the vehicle, and make the vehicle arrive at the destination according to people's wishes, and finally realize the purpose of replacing people to operate." ”

"In addition to automatic driving, there are many rich human-computer interaction functions, in the future, the car is not only a car, but also an entertainment device with car functions, you can make and receive calls, surf the Internet, watch video programs and even play games through the car, and through the automatic driving system equipped with the car, while entertaining, it will not affect the progress and safety of the car, and it can even become a second home for people!" Bai Ningyuan continued to explain his concept to Sun Ying.

Hearing what Bai Ningyuan said, Sun Ying was stunned, looking at Bai Ningyuan without blinking, with a somewhat strange look in his eyes.

He never imagined that certain scenes that only existed in science fiction movies would be so close to him.

In Bai Ningyuan's words, he had already heard infinite possibilities, and the functions listed by Bai Ningyuan were not impossible to achieve, and Sun Ying believed that with the continuous study of technology by human beings, it was simply a simple thing to achieve them.

Sun Ying was silent, and after a long time, he let out a long breath, and then looked at Bai Ningyuan with a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's just that if you want to study autonomous driving technology, it can't be done overnight, and this alone restricts the development speed of the entire smart car." ”

The earliest research on autonomous driving technology can be traced back to the early 20th century, since Carl Benz invented the world's first automobile in 1886, people gradually found that this kind of machine that was still a little noisy and dangerous at that time could increase its own movement speed and range of action, and began to have the idea of making it drive autonomously, and the real idea of putting this idea into action began in the 20s of the 20th century. However, in an era when automotive mechanics were not yet mature, the germ of driverless vehicles may seem rather naΓ―ve today – just like today's remote-controlled toy cars.

Later, radio, electromagnetic technology, lidar and other technologies have been continuously applied and developed, and a variety of research and attempts on autonomous driving have never stopped, and even in the 21st century, with the rapid development of computer, map, sensor and automotive electronics and other related technologies, more and more institutions and manufacturers have begun to intervene in the study of autonomous driving technology.

"Yes, brother-in-law, I admit that since the past 100 years, although it seems to be advancing by leaps and bounds, there is no real autonomous driving, but it does not mean that it cannot be realized, with the current technological progress, I think the development of an autonomous driving system does not require a long-term process. Bai Ningyuan said to Sun Ying.

"But as you said, the big car manufacturers have been involved in the development of autonomous driving for a long time, and they have accumulated a lot of experience and technology over the years, and compared with them, we have no advantage at all. Sun Ying's eyes were full of worry.

His worries are not without a way, as he said, whether it is the German Mercedes-Benz, or the Japanese Toyota, Honda, they have been studying the technology of automatic driving for more than ten or even decades, and they have no substantial breakthroughs at the moment.

Don't underestimate these technology accumulation, which has taken countless hours and experiments to get valuable experience and data, the technical strength and technical reserves of these old companies are absolutely beyond their imagination.

Hearing this, Bai Ningyuan laughed, then looked at Sun Ying, and in his puzzled gaze, he said faintly: "Indeed, just like what you said, brother-in-law, those old car companies, whether it is talents, resources, brands, channels, Capital or something, almost everything, is stronger than our EMP, and even in front of them, EMP is as fragile as a newborn baby, but one thing you should not forget, just like in ancient times, those dinosaurs who once ruled the earth, their extinction, not because their opponents are too strong, but the environment in which they live, has undergone great changes, so that they can no longer survive, and in the automotive field where we are located, at present, with the continuous development and combination of technology and Internet technology, it has a deep impact on every current field, and the automotive industry is no exception, and the entire industry is facing the environment, is because of science and technology and earth-shaking changes, the original things and theories, no longer adapt to the changes in the current environment, so, even if they are still very strong, but their strength, but can not help them adapt to this rapidly changing environment and world, and even on the contrary, their strength at this time is precisely to drag them into the quagmire of lag and cannot get out, restricting them from breaking through a heavy shackle!"
