"Mr. Bao, what happened just now? Is that video real?"
"Yes. Could it be that remote control was installed to create false propaganda?"
"Mr. Bao, can you explain it to me?"
Before Mr. Bao could go on to explain the theme of this press conference, the reporters in the audience impatiently asked about the video just now.
The "talking car" thing isn't important, you should explain the "self-driving car" first.
In addition to industry peers, everyone present here is familiar with the various technologies of new energy vehicles, even columnists, so they naturally understand what it means if the video just now is true.
That means... today they will witness the world's premiere of an A00-class mini car with automatic parking function...
"A new level of involution! Will autonomous driving enter the mini-car field?"
"A dying company releases a shocking bomb!"
“Aidou New Energy’s PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds!”
Just thinking about the sensational effect that such a headline can cause, the reporters present seemed to have found the traffic password, and each one seemed impatient, eager to confirm the authenticity of the video.
And the children who came from a major were even more so that their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
If it is just pure automatic parking, there are not seven or eight but three or four technical routes. If you pile up materials and take tricks at any cost, it is not impossible to achieve similar effects.
But the strange thing is, why does the video continuously play the footage of "parking failure" and the final perfect storage?
For mature "autonomous parking", it is a bit superfluous.
Unless...the other party is hinting...
This car's "automatic parking system" has a self-learning function...
To know the iterative evolution of the current "automatic parking" technology, it can be roughly divided into four categories: "APA automatic parking", "RPA remote control parking", "self-learning parking", and "AVP autonomous valet parking"
Staged development process.
And "self-learning parking" is the third generation of cutting-edge parking technology.
The fourth-generation autonomous valet parking technology that “gets off the car and walks, and the pedestrians arrive” is almost only one step away!
Even the Xiaopeng G3, which will be released at the end of the year and has a similar automatic parking function, is currently only a quasi-third-generation product.
At present, the only one that can truly reach the third generation technically is Tesla, and it is a high-end sedan version if you look around the world.
Isn’t it possible that a domestic company that is almost in disgrace can suddenly develop its autonomous driving technology by leaps and bounds and be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Tesla?
That’s outrageous!
"Impossible! Cheating! This must be cheating!" Xiaopeng tried hard to keep his three views intact.
"hehe!"
Faced with doubts from the audience, Mr. Bao smiled confidently.
He took out his cell phone and spoke into the phone.
"Bajie, help me park the car in parking space No. 1!"
【Okay.】A gentle mechanical sound came from the phone.
Then the next moment, the exhibition car on the stage automatically started to flash twice, and under the astonished eyes of everyone, it started to reverse at a relatively slow speed...
Multiple parking spaces with different angles and orientations have been drawn on the stage in advance.
At the same time, the large screen behind Mr. Bao immediately switched to appear to be a projection of the car-machine interface.
The interface does not have a camera screen in the traditional sense, but is replaced by a 3D simulation screen.
The highlighted blue car body, surrounding obstacles, automatically marked parking spaces...even Mr. Bao standing aside is displayed as a humanoid object without facial features.
Finally, the car made a side and rear parking maneuver that was very accurate even for experienced drivers, and accurately drove into the standard parking space with "1" written on it.
Just when everyone was shocked, Mr. Bao seemed to feel that the demonstration was not enough, and spoke into the phone microphone again.
"Bajie, I don't like this parking space very much. Please help me park in parking space No. 5."
【Okay, we will switch to parking space No. 5.】
The exhibition car slowly left the garage, changed its angle, and parked firmly into parking space No. 5 using side parking.
Then there is parking space No. 3...
"Bajie, come and pick me up now."
【OK, just a second.】
After the vehicle had bypassed most of the booth, it stopped steadily in front of Mr. Bao...
"Wow~" The whole audience was in an uproar, and the flashlight flashed again.
Regardless of whether there is cheating or not, when there is no one in the driver's seat, you can control the car with just a mobile phone, accurately recognize voice commands, and perform parking and summoning functions.
This scene in 2018, when new energy vehicles have just emerged and have not yet been widely popularized, the sense of technology is absolutely exploding!
Even Tesla, which is currently the leader in autonomous driving in the world and started the automotive revolution with its "Edamame" series, is almost at this level...
Is it possible that the technical level of "This Bean" is almost catching up with "Bedou's"?
"This is impossible!"
Seeing this, classmate Xiaopeng's face was completely shattered.
In the scene just now, let alone the level of automatic parking, the advanced "mobile terminal car-machine interconnection" and "accurate voice recognition" alone are high-end technologies that are rare in the market.
It may not be the first one created by the other party, but it is definitely the cutting-edge technology!
The key is... such an advanced intelligent control system is actually installed on a mini car that gives people the impression of "cheap" and "poor"...
This design... is simply unreasonable!
Just like the 86 of Fujiwara Tofu Factory, it is obviously covered in a cheap shell, but once you lift the hood, you will see that it is a racing-grade modified treasure!
The other two "friends" around me also looked unacceptable.
Is it possible that Mr. Bao, knowing that he can't compete with his competitors in terms of hardware, secretly exerts his efforts in software, and has grown to this level of obscenity?
The point is...
"Are you crazy? Realizing car-machine interconnection, intelligent assistant and automatic parking on mini-cars..."
How much material did Mr. Bao pile on the car? How many laser radars were installed?
But even if one is piled up, the price of this car shouldn’t be 100,000+?
Who would buy a mini car if they really had a budget of 100,000?
What about market positioning? What about target customers?
Is it so arbitrary to build a car?
Quite satisfied with the reaction from the audience, Mr. Bao continued to speak and immediately dropped another shocking news!
“Everyone, the two new cars we released this time have completely abandoned the original third-generation Douban system.
At the same time, we strategically introduced the ‘Tianxuan Zhixuan’ vehicle-mounted intelligent control full-scenario solution newly developed by Baiyeji Company!”
"Oh~" There was another burst of discussion in the audience, and many people looked surprised.
"So they brought in foreign aid? No wonder this sense of technology... is completely different from before!"
"The confidentiality is pretty good, there was no news at all before."
"Bai Yeji? Why haven't I heard of this company? Are there any dark horses like this in the industry?"
"It seems a bit familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere..."
"It seems that this is Mr. Bao's trump card. This press conference... seems to be promising!"
Generally speaking, new energy car companies will choose to develop their own car-machine systems unless they have to. After all, they will not be controlled by others at critical times.
Moreover, software is the core soul of new energy vehicles.
If software cannot be autonomous, it is nothing more than a soulless body.
Outsourcing the entire software system can already show that Mr. Bao has almost reached the end of his rope and can only try to make a comeback with the help of external forces.
"The 'Tianxuan Intelligent Selection' system... uh..."
To be continued...
