Having said this, Wu Hao looked at everyone and said: "From this aspect, the capabilities of the autonomous driving system have far exceeded that of manned driving.
When a person encounters this kind of situation, he will subconsciously choose what he thinks is the best solution, but what he thinks is not necessarily the best solution.
This is mainly because our reaction time is limited. Most people who have not received special training will only think of the most common and simple solutions when driving a vehicle when encountering such a situation.
And because we ordinary people will inevitably panic when encountering this kind of situation, this greatly increases our reaction time and increases the chance of making mistakes.
And because there is a lot of time, we humans cannot estimate all the information. For example, the situation on both sides of the vehicle, the situation behind, etc.
Many car accidents often occur because drivers avoid danger and cause bigger accidents.
As for our high-end autonomous driving system, it can perform repeated calculations based on all the data information obtained around the vehicle, and finally generate a series of solutions, from which the most reliable solution can be selected for execution.
The entire process takes milliseconds or even microseconds, and can be calculated hundreds of thousands or millions of times within such a period of time to generate a series of solutions. This kind of response and decision-making time is far beyond the reach of humans."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao smiled and said: "I remember that in the field of self-driving cars, a well-known executive said that safety is the greatest luxury.
We have always adhered to this concept, or fundamentally, the foundation of everything is safety.
It should be said that the foundation or core of autonomous driving technology is safety. If safety is lost, no matter how advanced the autonomous driving technology is, it will be worthless."
Wu Hao's speech was like a breeze blowing by, deeply shocking the audience present. Of course they had heard this sentence and recognized it from the bottom of their hearts.
In fact, everyone engaged in electric vehicles and autonomous driving technology in the entire industry understands this. However, as competition in the domestic electric vehicle field has become increasingly fierce in recent years, everyone has become involved.
This kind of competition, or industry involution, is actually beneficial to the development of the entire industry, and the entire consumer group, including the entire society, can benefit from it.
But if it is too rolled, problems may easily occur.
In order to be original and express themselves, some people blindly pursue the so-called number one in the industry, so many unwise behaviors occur.
For example, the most common data is mixed with water, exaggerated, and even falsified in some places. Or the claims are based on some fancy technologies and forget that the core of autonomous driving technology is safety.
Therefore, for a while, some manufacturers' cars suffered several major accidents due to autonomous driving technology, which had a huge impact. This also made many people begin to question the safety of autonomous driving technology, thus affecting the entire industry.
In the end, many large companies, including technology suppliers, came out to provide clarifications, explanations, guarantees, and even test drives in person. Only then did the adverse effects gradually disappear.
Even so, the entire industry suffered huge losses due to this accident, and its development was stagnant for several months.
So everyone present felt very emotional after hearing Wu Hao mention this again.
"So, in our view, autonomous driving is not only to improve the convenience of travel, but more importantly, to protect the life safety of every passenger."
Wu Hao's tone became more firm: "Our high-end autonomous driving system is not just a stack of technology, but also a reflection of respect for life."
He paused, looked around, and continued: "Some people may say that machines are always machines, so how can they know how to handle complex traffic situations better than humans? But I want to say that this is the advantage of the autonomous driving system.
"
He pointed to the busy road outside the window. The minibus they were riding in had to slow down due to the heavy traffic and slowly moved with the traffic.
This also made the journey that was originally a few minutes long.
"You see, when this car is driving, it not only has to deal with the road conditions in front, but also always pays attention to the dynamics of the vehicles on the sides and behind.
Not only the movement of the vehicle, but also all situations around the vehicle, such as motorcycles, bicycles, and even pedestrians, animals, etc. that are rushing out quickly.
Everyone has driven a car and naturally knows what we are most afraid of, which is the "ghost probe". In many cases, we have no time to react to such sudden situations.
But our autonomous driving system can collect and process this information in milliseconds and generate the best response plan."
"More importantly, our system will not be disturbed by emotions." Wu Hao's voice was full of confidence, "Humans often make wrong judgments due to emotional fluctuations during driving. And the automatic driving system,
But he can always remain calm and rational, and always choose the safest option."
After hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone present nodded, their expressions revealing their thoughts. Wu Hao's words were like seeds, deeply implanted in the hearts of the audience, making everyone start thinking about this technology again.
"Of course, the development of autonomous driving technology still requires our continuous efforts and improvement."
Wu Hao changed the subject and said: "We still need to solve many technical problems, such as how to better handle complex traffic conditions, how to ensure the stability and safety of the system, etc.
Even though we already have more advanced full-area autonomous driving technology, that is, L5-level high-end autonomous driving technology, our exploration and research and development angles are not stopping.
Because no technology is perfect, it has its own strengths, and of course it also has its own limitations or shortcomings.
Our dream is to uphold respect for life and the pursuit of technology, overcome these difficulties, and make autonomous driving technology truly benefit mankind."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue burst into warm applause. The audience was deeply moved by Wu Hao's speech, and they were full of expectations and confidence in the future of autonomous driving technology.
Immediately, the atmosphere in several cars became lively, and everyone's discussion on autonomous driving technology became more and more in-depth, as if they suddenly forgot the purpose of their trip.
However, the time left for them to discuss was not too long, because before they knew it, the vehicle had arrived at its destination, the Linghu Business District Medical Research Center of Anxi Hospital Affiliated to the Air Force Medical College.
Everyone who was having a heated discussion was obviously a little unhappy to be interrupted like this, and there was a look of regret on their faces.
But when they thought about the purpose of their trip, everyone began to calm down and got out of the car.
Everyone who had just gotten off the bus was shocked by the scene in front of them.
