This is no longer a road in the traditional sense, or even a road no longer. Maybe many people, 99% of them, will never encounter such a road in their lifetime, let alone enter such an environment.
It should be said that at this moment, this is the ultimate test of this car and this set of L5 fully autonomous driving technology. Its test intensity and difficulty have far exceeded those of other car companies' test projects.
The test vehicle was still driving in this river valley. After passing through many difficult sections, the vehicle finally tried to get out of the valley and then began to enter a desert.
Different from the endless Gobi desert, the desert here is relatively undulating and consists of tall sand dunes. The sand is very soft, so driving in this desert also requires certain skills.
Slowly cross water, walk fast through sand, don't rush and don't go slowly through mud. This is also a very vivid jingle summarized by many off-road players.
Among them, Quick Walking Sand talks about driving fast in the desert, otherwise the car will easily get stuck. In addition, there are also techniques for climbing over sand dunes. Always pay attention to the angle. If the angle is too large, the speed of the vehicle will be affected.
If you don't have enough, it's easy to get stuck in the car.
I saw that this test vehicle quickly began to adjust its conditions after entering the desert, such as automatically deflating the tires to increase the friction between the tires and the sand.
In addition, the torque power distributed to each wheel has also been adjusted to be more suitable for desert driving.
Compared with the test vehicle that drove easily on the desert, the two technical support vehicles found it extremely difficult to drive in the desert. Although they followed closely in the footsteps of the test vehicle, they could not avoid the embarrassment of being trapped in the vehicle.
On the contrary, the test vehicle drove more and more smoothly, galloping through the sea of sand.
The technical support vehicle that cannot follow can only keep up with the test vehicle while releasing the drone, and simply follow behind the test vehicle to observe the condition of the test vehicle.
At this moment, the sun has set in the west, illuminating the entire desert with a golden glow. Under the warm light, the test vehicle seems to be covered with a layer of clothing.
The background music also started from the melodious cello sound and became more and more exciting. After climbing over the dunes one after another, the test vehicle finally came to a lake. This is the destination of this trip, a tear in the desert, a lake.
The safety officer in the car unfastened his seat belt, opened the door, and walked out with a relaxed expression. Then he came to the lake and looked at the lake for a while.
The angle of view of the drone began to increase, the height became better and better, the test vehicles and safety personnel on the lakeside became smaller and smaller, and finally everyone saw the whole lake.
As Wu Hao introduced, in this desolate desert, this lake is like a pearl inlaid on it, which looks particularly colorful.
Bang bang bang...
There was warm applause at the scene, and almost everyone looked extremely excited because they were the first guests to witness this technology offline.
In addition, this technology is really shocking. It traveled a thousand kilometers and traveled for more than ten hours, covering multiple terrains and climate environments, which fully verified the advanced performance of this technology.
In the face of this technology, won’t those manufacturers that previously released so-called L4 technology feel ashamed?
In fact, these manufacturers do not feel ashamed, but are now anxiously discussing how to conduct public relations. After all, after the announcement of this technology, the technology they previously released was as embarrassing as clowns.
Thinking of this, these manufacturers couldn't help but scold Wu Hao and the others. You said that you can just release L4-level high-end autonomous driving technology. Why do you have to release this L5-level fully autonomous driving technology and have to be one generation ahead of the industry?
, it seems you can do it.
What should we do now? You have released this technology, what should we do?
Of course, Wu Hao doesn't know what these manufacturers think. Even if he does, so what. In terms of technology, everyone depends on their strength, so there is nothing to say.
Looking at the excited people in the audience, Wu Hao said with a smile: "The above is the test video of our L5 fully autonomous driving technology. Although we have added a lot of fast-forward and editing shots during this period, what I can assure you is that
, the technologies here are completely real and reliable, and they have already been used in some fields.
However, laws and regulations related to L5 level fully autonomous driving technology have not yet been introduced, so this technology is not yet available to the public."
Looking at the slightly disappointed expressions of everyone in the audience, Wu Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, because there is not much difference between L5 fully autonomous driving technology and L4 high-end autonomous driving technology, at least on our side
Not much different. In general, our L4 level autonomous driving technology retains more than 90% of the performance of L5 level fully autonomous driving technology. It is only unreachable in some areas, but for everyone’s daily driving experience
Has little effect.
To put it simply, L4 level high-end autonomous driving technology already covers 99% of our daily driving needs, but it is not as comprehensive as L5 level coverage. For example, the Gobi deserts introduced in the previous short film
, and terrain areas such as river valleys and deserts, the L4 level cannot be reached.
However, our L4 high-level autonomous driving technology can still achieve common urban roads, highways, national and provincial roads, rural roads, and even some dirt roads.
And we will also decentralize relevant technologies to L4-level high-end autonomous driving technology to bring everyone a better driving experience."
Bang bang bang...
Waiting for the applause to fall, Wu Hao continued: "Actually, at this point, I think this press conference should be over, because I have basically finished what I want to say. You can verify it by experiencing it.
Is what I said true?
But if this is the case, then this press conference is too short, so in order to shorten the time, I will say a few more words."
Ha ha ha ha……
After hearing his words, everyone in the audience laughed.
Wu Hao also smiled and said: "As you all know, I am not willing to report those data parameters in detail. I don't think it has much significance, at least it does not have much significance with our people's daily life and experience.
I don’t quite know when the parameters were announced at the popular press conference, and I don’t quite know whether these parameters are really felt by each consumer, or are they just a comfort in the heart.
Of course, in order to show everyone our technology and to facilitate everyone's understanding of our technology, we will publish the relevant data parameters. If you are interested, you can intercept images, or go to our official website and social media
You can download them from your account, and we will make them public."
