When Lao Wang landed in Bincheng, he naturally received a grand welcome from He Xiaojun.

He even saw Mr. Yu who came to pick him up, which made him feel very strange.

Lao Yu is a very important boss in Warwick. He doesn't usually talk about his daily life, but his itinerary is accurate to the fifteen minutes.

This guy spends most of his day in the sky, and sometimes he often has to fly to several cities to catch up with the venue a day.

But he didn't expect that this guy would stay in Bincheng for three days this time.

On the earliest day, this guy called himself and said that there was a Spark Company in Bincheng very well-informed and asked him to come and take a look.

It was also out of trust in the partners and the infinite association of the team behind the Spark Company and the Ninth Laboratory that Lao Wang sent Xiao Wang to bring people to see it in person.

Unexpectedly, I saw this and found a surprise. Not only did the problems of the electrical appliances and induction switches that have always troubled them were solved, but Xiao Wang even found an epoch-making sensor here.

So on the day when Xiao Wang reported like him, Lao Wang took a plane from Pengcheng to Bincheng in the afternoon.

He didn't feel anything about He Xiaojun's warm welcome, but seeing that Mr. Yu had been here for three days without leaving, which made him even more strange.

Because it was getting late and it was not convenient to go to Xinghuo Company, they went to the hotel first.

The place where Lao Wang stayed today is also the Pannevilla Peninsula Hotel, and he took the same car with Mr. Yu.

"What? Is this company really special?"

In the car, Lao Wang couldn't help but ask Mr. Yu.

After all, they are close partners and the company is in the same city, so they have been dealing with each other many times.

He Xiaojun from the Ninth Laboratory and he were just nodding. As for the CEO of Xinghuo Company, a foreigner who can speak fluent Chinese, Lao Wang couldn't believe it very much.

After all, the contact time was still too short. Although Xiao Wang had emphasized to him many times that this company was magical.

But Lao Wang still thinks that it is more reliable to ask about this matter yourself.

And the answer given by Mr. Yu is also quite blunt: "It's very special. If I read it correctly, this will be a giant that is about to rise again."

"It's really that awesome?"

Mr. Wang raised his eyebrows, and Mr. Yu smiled: "You will know after you go and see their products tomorrow."

"Then why haven't you left yet? As far as I know, it seems that there should be nothing else you are interested in when the MLCC is released in this Spark Factory?"

Lao Wang asked a tentative question, but from Mr. Yu, he only got one answer, which is two words: Hehe.

The next morning, Lao Wang got up early, accompanied by Xiao Wang and the company's technicians, and after having breakfast in the hotel, he went straight to the Spark Factory in the bonded area.

As soon as they arrived at the factory, they were immediately stunned by the material delivery robot walking in the factory.

It was a yellow tracked robot with one or two small tracks under its feet. The upper body looked like a big square box with two robotic arms on it.

A head was like a double barrel telescope above his head, and his two mechanical arms pulled a large cargo box back.

The cargo box is filled with various industrial waste.

The robot pulled the truck of waste out of the factory and headed straight to the waste recycling center in the distance.

Then on the other side, there were several same robots, pulling the same box, entering the factory, sending it to the feeding port of the production line inside, and then pouring it in.

During the whole process, there were no few workers on the ground.

Although this picture is very simple, it has a very visual impact, which makes Lao Wang stunned.

The content of this picture is very simple. We can often see it in animations, but in the real world, there seems to be only the only factory in the world that can truly achieve such automation.

"What you said is..."

After all, Lao Wang is an expert. He pointed to the head on the head of the robot in front that looked like a telescope.

"That's right, Mr. Wang, that guy like a telescope is the set of millimeter-wave radar integrated camera sensors I mentioned!"

When Mr. Xiao Wang is very regular when there are many people, he will call his father Mr. Wang.

As an expert, Mr. Wang looked at the robots, dragging the cargo boxes, walking back and forth on the road, and could also make corners, fast forward and brake freely.

The most important thing is that they will also avoid various obstacles and formulate their travel routes based on the distances of the obstacles ahead early.

If you encounter a robot driving over the opposite side, you will stop and give way, or take a detour...

Mr. Wang and his group stood for more than half an hour, just watching the robots carrying back and forth.

The content seemed boring, but it had already stirred up waves of storm in Lao Wang's heart.

Because he made electric cars, he understood where Tesla was more powerful than the others.

For example, Tesla's current Autopilot autonomous driving system is the most powerful player in the field of intelligent driving software and hardware.

I won’t talk about artificial intelligence in software for the time being.

Let’s talk about the hardware used in it. The most important thing is the sensors of the perception system for intelligent driving.

Previously, in the field of perception systems, there were two sets of solutions.

One set is a visually dominant solution represented by Tesla.

The other one is a lidar-led solution represented by Google.

The two sets of solutions have their pros and cons.

Tesla's solution is to use cameras as the mainstay, cooperate with millimeter radar, ultrasonic radar, and low-cost lidar to form a hardware perception system.

Google's solution is dominated by lidar, combined with millimeter radar, ultrasonic sensors, and cameras.

Google's solution has the advantage of the detection accuracy and distance of the lidar, and the ability to actively scan the situation around the vehicle, which is active vision.

You can accurately cross obstacles even at night to ensure the safety of the vehicle.

But the disadvantage is that the cost is very expensive. The cost of a lidar is 20,000 yuan, while the cost of a camera is only 2,000 yuan. In addition, the size of the lidar is very large, which will affect the appearance design of the vehicle and will also face problems such as serious heat generation.

Tesla's solution uses cameras as the main focus and then uses artificial intelligence to identify images. This is probably much simpler for Google's solution.

The most important thing is that the cost is very cheap, which is also the main reason why Tesla's smart driving solution can eventually defeat Google, which was earlier than them, in the field of smart driving.

However, this solution also has its own obvious weakness, that is, the camera's distance measurement ability is limited, and it is greatly affected by ambient light.

For example, windy days, cloudy days, heavy rains, hail days, etc. will seriously affect the imaging capabilities of the camera.

This affects the ECU's judgment of the vehicle's external environment.

Therefore, Tesla has spent a lot of money on camera photosensitive chips and imaging recognition algorithms, and has even launched long-term cooperation with the world's largest graphics card company.

Ask the company to design a set of graphics cards for them...

This is also where other car companies have been blocked by Tesla after they engage in intelligent driving.

Because other companies can't find such awesome sensors and imaging hardware.

And now the millimeter-wave radar integrated camera sensor they saw at Spark Technology is simply an advanced version of Tesla's hardware!

After watching the robot work, the group was soon invited into the conference room by Mr. Hu, the CTO of Spark Company.

Then He Xiaojun stood up and first connected with Xinghuo and Mr. Wang. The supreme leaders of both sides officially met.

Then Mr. Wang went straight to the point and asked Spark to introduce their set of millimeter-wave radar integrated camera sensors.

Mr. Hu, the CTO of Xinghuo Technology, personally explained to Lao Wang and the others.

It turns out that the imaging principle of this set of sensors is to integrate a set of millimeter-wave radar equipment into the camera.

This not only greatly improves the problem of camera distance measurement, but also greatly improves the accuracy of camera imaging.

Because millimeter-wave radar has the characteristics of far-range measurement and strong penetration, although it is still slightly worse than lidar, it can greatly assist in improving the accuracy of camera imaging.

In terms of their background, there is also a set of algorithms that can provide calculations in the background to restore object characteristics based on obstacles detected by millimeter-wave radar.

For example, one hundred and fifty meters away, it is difficult for the camera to see clearly what the object is moving in the distance, and only a moving black dot is seen.

However, the reception system of the millimeter-wave radar can determine which black point is an active vehicle or a person based on the feedback data of the millimeter-wave radar.

They can even measure the mass of which object, which requires the accuracy of millimeter-wave radar to be very high, and the background algorithm is very awesome, and it can only be done accurately.

But they did it in a real way.

If it hadn't been seen with my own eyes, Lao Wang wouldn't believe the movements of the robots in their factory, even if he was beaten to death.

After all, he has lived in Pengcheng, which is known as the most developed technology in Country H for a long time. However, in that city that claims to be the strongest innovation ability, he has never heard of any company that has developed such a set of hardware.

What's more, this is a company in Bincheng?

However, this also confirms the speculation that Mr. Yu had told him before. Mr. Yu said that this company is likely to have close ties with the scientific research team behind the Ninth Laboratory.

Now it seems that it should be true, otherwise with the level of the domestic scientific research team, you will definitely not be able to create such awesome equipment.

After repeatedly confirming the capabilities of this system, Lao Wang made the decision to cooperate with BYD and Spark Technology on the spot...
