Chapter 3717 Sometimes it is not the bottleneck that hinders technological progress, but the people
"Brother Xuan, do you think these driverless buses will become the mainstay of urban public transportation in the future? I feel that they are not only practical, but also have low operating costs, comfortable riding experience, and are very cool!" A netizen suddenly thought,
It sparked a bit of discussion.
Li Xuan smiled and nodded, his eyes flashing with expectations for the future: "Definitely, these driverless buses not only represent the progress of science and technology, but also a trend of urban modernization. In the future, they will become more and more popular
The more it appears in our lives, the more it becomes an important choice for our travels."
"Brother Xuan, do you think there will be fully self-driving taxis in the future? Just like in the movie, they will arrive with just a wave of your hand and then automatically take you to your destination?" A netizen asked with great expectation.
, as if it has foreseen the convenience of travel in the future.
Li Xuan smiled slightly when he saw this barrage and said: "Didn't driverless taxis already exist several years ago? Many cities have already started operating them. This is very common here in Anxi. I came out of the airport yesterday.
What we do is driverless taxis.
Self-driving taxis like this are more common here in Linghu. You see, all the taxis on the street are marked with driverless and there are many sci-fi-looking special cars that are driverless."
As Li Xuan turned the camera, the bustling scene of the entire street was shown on the screen.
The sun shines on the clean road, reflecting dazzling light. On the street, a variety of driverless vehicles shuttle, they are fast or slow, but they are all in an orderly manner.
Small self-driving taxis shuttle flexibly on the lanes, with a sci-fi appearance, like messengers from the future world; while large self-driving buses drive steadily on the dedicated lanes, but their huge bodies appear extremely flexible.
Every stop is accurate.
In the live broadcast room, the comments from netizens reached a climax again.
"Oh my god! Brother Xuan, there are too many driverless vehicles on this street! It feels like we have entered a future world!" exclaimed a barrage, his tone full of shock.
"Haha, it seems that Linghu is really a driverless paradise! Brother Xuan, next time you broadcast, can you take us to take a ride in one of those driverless taxis and experience what it feels like?" Another netizen said
Jokingly, but also curious about driverless taxis.
"Brother Xuan, how do these driverless vehicles identify road conditions and obstacles? Are they really more reliable than people?" A netizen raised questions, obviously still worried about the safety of driverless technology.
Li Xuan smiled, and his eyes in the camera were firm, as if he was full of confidence in driverless technology. He spoke slowly, with a gentle and powerful voice: "This water friend's problem is also a problem that many people have in common with driverless technology.
Confuse.
In fact, driverless vehicles mainly rely on a complex and sophisticated perception system to identify road conditions and obstacles.
First of all, from a technical point of view, these vehicles are equipped with various sensors such as lidar, millimeter wave radar, and cameras. Lidar can accurately measure the distance and shape of surrounding objects, while millimeter wave radar is good at detecting obstacles in severe weather conditions.
Objects, and cameras can capture rich image information and identify traffic signs, pedestrians, other vehicles, etc.
These sensors work together to provide the vehicle with 360-degree perception capabilities without blind spots."
Next, there is the power of algorithms. Unmanned vehicles have built-in advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. These algorithms can process massive data collected by sensors in real time and quickly and accurately identify road conditions and obstacles through deep learning, pattern recognition and other technologies.
.
More importantly, these algorithms can also predict the action trends of other traffic participants based on historical data and real-time conditions, thereby making more intelligent and safer decisions."
Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused for a moment, and then continued: "From a social perspective, the safety of driverless technology has also undergone multiple guarantees.
During the development phase, these technologies will undergo rigorous testing and verification, including simulation testing, closed field testing, and actual road testing.
Only if it passes these layers of tests and ensures that safety performance meets standards will it be allowed to operate on the road.
Moreover, during the operation process, relevant departments will also conduct continuous supervision and evaluation to ensure that driverless vehicles are always maintained in a safe and controllable state."
“In addition, compared to manned driving, the popularization of driverless technology will also bring a series of positive social impacts.
It can significantly reduce traffic accident rates and reduce traffic violations and accidents caused by human factors.
At the same time, the efficient operation of driverless vehicles can also alleviate urban traffic congestion and improve travel efficiency.
More importantly, with the maturity and popularization of driverless technology, we are expected to usher in a greener and more environmentally friendly travel era."
"Of course, any technology has its limitations, and driverless technology is no exception."
Li Xuan's tone became a little more serious, but he still remained calm and objective. He sighed and said: "Although driverless technology has shown the potential to surpass human drivers in many aspects, it still faces challenges.
Some challenges and issues that need to be addressed.
First of all, in terms of technical limitations, although the perception system of driverless vehicles is very advanced, in some extreme or complex environments, such as heavy fog, heavy rain, heavy snow and other bad weather, or when encountering unexpected road conditions,
During construction, obstruction by obstacles, etc., their perception and decision-making abilities may be affected to a certain extent.
In this case, the driverless vehicle may require additional assistance or the intervention of a human driver to ensure safety.
Secondly, the popularization of driverless technology has also brought about some social problems. For example, with the increase in driverless vehicles, the traditional driver profession may be affected, causing some people to lose their jobs or need to change careers.
This is not only an economic problem, but also a social problem that needs to be faced and solved by us together.
At the same time, the ownership of safety responsibilities for driverless vehicles is also an issue that needs to be clarified urgently.
When an accident occurs, should the vehicle manufacturer, software developer or vehicle owner bear the responsibility? This needs to be clarified through laws and policies."
“In addition, the popularization of autonomous driving technology also faces the challenge of public acceptance.
Although many people are full of curiosity and expectations about driverless technology, some people are skeptical or worried about it.
They are concerned about issues such as safety, privacy protection and ethical decision-making of driverless vehicles.
So sometimes what blocks technological progress is not the technical bottleneck, but people, and the society itself!
