A genius tech empire

Chapter 48 Super Charging Station

The seventh day of the end of the Guangzhou International Auto Show.

The multifunctional hall on the second floor of the ultimate headquarters.

Some reporters came here again within a month.

Standing on the podium, Chen Qingshan looked at the long guns and short cannons in the multi-function hall below, and his ambitions surged in his heart.

Recall that a year ago, Yang Congming bought his company and invited him into the ultimate car scene.

At that time, I still thought about it when I joined, and now it seems that the decision I made is extremely correct.

"Thank you media reporter friends and other guests for participating in the launch of our Xtreme Auto. I am Chen Qingshan, President of Xtreme Auto." Chen Qingshan said.

"Papa!" There was a burst of warm applause from below.

At this time, on the big screen, I switched to a page of PPT, which contained various performance introductions of the ultimate car.

Chen Qingshan continued: "The main reason for this press conference today is that everyone may not know the performance of the Xtreme car. I will give you a detailed introduction. There is one more thing to be announced afterwards."

Yang Congming sat in the front row, watching Chen Qingshan in front of the five-hundred journalist group without any timidity, and talked fluently. He couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction. He was completely relieved that Chen Qingshan was still good and could take on a big responsibility.

At this time, Chen Qingshan turned his head, pointed to the big screen and said: "This is the performance introduction of S1, everyone can take a look."

The screen is very clear, even if you are sitting in the back row of the lobby, you can see clearly.

750 kilometers mileage, unmanned driving technology, top speed 200 kilometers per hour, acceleration from 100 kilometers per hour for 5 seconds, fast charging time 1 hour.

Seeing the above data, the hall exclaimed. Before the reporters came to the press conference, they still had some understanding of the pure electric vehicle market.

S1's unique unmanned driving technology will not be mentioned first, other data are better than other manufacturers.

Of course, unlike the reporters who exclaimed, Yang Congming is still not satisfied with the S1 data. The mileage and speed are nothing. The most important thing is the charging time. The charging time of 1 hour is still far behind compared to the gas car. If you can’t do it, just charge and go.

"Battery, because we use a ternary lithium battery and a battery management system developed by ourselves, we maximize the use of electric energy and the mileage has reached 750 kilometers."

"Unmanned driving technology is also a technology we independently researched and developed, and this is the world's most advanced and only driverless technology."

When he said this, Chen Qingshan looked very proud, just as he wrote on his face, "Don't tell me, other manufacturers' autonomous driving technologies are rubbish."

However, he does have the capital to be proud of. Compared with manufacturers who are still struggling at the L4 level of autonomous driving technology, the driverless technology of Xtreme Auto (L5 level autonomous driving, also known as fully automatic driving) can be said to be a level ahead. .

"How advanced is it? Let me popularize the level of autonomous driving technology. There are five levels of autonomous driving technology from L1 to L5.

L1 level, assisted driving

At this level, the vehicle can assist some functions, such as automatic braking.

L2 level, partial automation

At this level, the car can assist steering or acceleration functions, allowing the driver to be free from these tasks, but the driver must be ready to control the vehicle at any time, and is still responsible for most safety-critical functions and all environmental monitoring.

L3 level, conditional automation

From level 2 to level 3 is a huge leap. Starting from level 3, the vehicle itself controls all monitoring of the environment (using sensors like lidar).The driver's attention is still important at L3 level, but it can be disengaged from "safety-critical" functions such as braking, and handed over to the vehicle to handle it under safe conditions.Many level 3 vehicles do not require human attention on roads where the speed is less than 37 mph.

L4 level, highly automated

At this level, the vehicle can steer, brake, accelerate, monitor the vehicle and the road, and respond to events to determine when to change lanes, turn, and use signals.

At level 4, the autonomous driving system will first notify the driver when conditions are safe, and then the driver will switch the vehicle to this mode.It cannot judge between more dynamic driving situations, such as traffic jams or merging into a highway.

L5 level, fully automated

Level 5 automation is the least important in terms of driver participation. This level of autonomous driving absolutely does not require human attention.There is no need to step on the accelerator, brake or hold the steering wheel, because the automatic driving system controls all key tasks, monitors the environment and recognizes unique driving conditions, such as traffic jams.

Our unmanned driving technology has reached the level 5 of automatic driving, which does not require human driving at all.It can recognize traffic signals, can recognize virtual and solid lines, can recognize traffic police gestures, and can implement emergency braking.

Even, I can say that our driverless technology is safer than human driving, because we have installed cameras around the body, 360 degrees without blind spots, and there will be no traffic accidents that cause death due to blind spots in the field of vision.

Moreover, it responds faster than humans.

Under normal conditions, the reaction time for humans is about 0.1-0.5 s, and the reaction time for complex selective reactions is 1-3 s, and the average reaction time for complex judgment and understanding is 3-5 s.

The reaction time of our S1 is only 0.02 seconds, which is 5 times the fastest human reaction speed."

Speaking of this, Chen Qingshan paused, leaving the audience time for reaction.

Sure enough, there was a lot of discussion in the audience that the reporters had reached such a point that the safety of the driverless technology of the ultimate car was safer than human driving.

"The ultimate car is awesome, this reaction time is much faster than the human reaction."

"The era of driverless driving is finally here, and students who haven't taken a driver's license yet don't need to take another test."

"Thinking a lot, what about the policy?"

"Extremely worthy of its name, this car is really the ultimate, 360 degrees without dead ends, I will ask you to accept it."

"Horrible, what about artificial intelligence rebellion in the future?"

"Is another profession going to die? What about renting out?"

"Don't talk about renting out, I am selling large-scale goods, and I don't know how many years I can open it."

"..."

After introducing the performance of the car, Chen Qingshan said passionately.

"For the convenience of charging, we will build a super-high-density network of super charging stations. Now we have deployed super charging stations within 20 kilometers of first-tier cities. In the future, we will further increase the density of super charging stations in first-tier cities and expand to second-tier cities. Third-tier cities, and even small towns, strive to have a super charging station about 10 kilometers away from first-tier cities, and a super charging station within 50 kilometers of remote areas..."
