Global monopoly of technology

"Let's report from the most basic core computing power..."

The technical director of the project immediately took out a motherboard hardware and showed it to the leaders of Luo Sheng and Ding Ping, saying: "This is our finalized chip, code-named'The Shining', which is optimized for AI scenarios by our project team. This is a development motherboard designed based on this chip."

Luo Shengyan asked concisely: "What is the computing performance?"

The technical director immediately replied: "The motherboard is equipped with two'Shining' chips and two independent GPUs, which can provide up to 450 trillion floating-point computing performance. It can be said that even L4 and L5 fully automated driving technology support There is also no pressure."

In contrast, the floating-point computing performance that Nvidia's development board can provide is only 3 trillion operations per second, while the former overlord of automotive chips, Mobileye, which specializes in computer vision chips, was acquired by Intel for more than $15 billion. Their EyeQ5 chip can only provide 40 trillion floating-point operations per second.

Compared with the "Shining" of the Côte d'Azur Lab, it is not at the same level. No wonder the director of the technical department of this project said that it has an absolute technological lead.

After all, I have been studying for 12 years.

Luo Sheng: "Where is the test car?"

Technical Director: "In the test workshop."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng stood up and said: "Go, go and see."

The technical director put aside the motherboard chip in his hand and immediately led Luo Sheng and Ding Ping to the testing workshop.

Luo Sheng explained as he walked: “In terms of fully automatic driverless driving, it is very important to provide sufficient computing power for the perception and decision-making of artificial intelligence. As one of the hottest AI application scenarios, the field of autonomous driving is welcoming In an unprecedented technological bonus period, we must be prepared to take off at any time as soon as the wind blows."

The accompanying technical director nodded: "Understood."

Within a few minutes, Luo Sheng and others came to the test workshop. There are 20 engineers and employees working here. The space is large and the tools are messy.

There are also some quilt pillows on the floor, some empty happy water bottles, and some lunch boxes are still on the side.

Luo Sheng said in a circle: "What kind of plane? You eat, drink and sleep in this workshop with you? People who don't know think that I am a black-hearted boss and squeeze employees, so I won't be hafnium."

Seeing a young engineer looking over with a tool, with a spray-painted face on his face, Luo Sheng shook his head in tears.

"Boss, don't worry, these are all voluntary. We are all technical houses and singles. We have no other hobbies except for the technology... It's just a little messy, hehe~~"

Luo Sheng said solemnly: "Don't come to this set, I won't give you processing money, you will be bailed out by yourself."

"You don't need to increase your salary, but... Boss, I have a suggestion."

"What proposal?"

"Can you arrange for us a big white robot to come and do some sanitation..."

"...Alright, it's arranged."

This is just a small episode. The developers really like the free atmosphere of the Côte d'Azur Lab. There are not so many boxes. Under the principle of guarantee, the employees are given as much freedom as possible to choose their favorite working methods.

The technical director of the project department found an employee and gave a few instructions. After a while, a prototype car drove automatically in front of Luo Sheng and others.

"Mr. Luo, this is it. A customizable, multi-seat, multi-function, fully automatic driving unmanned tram, with a combination of hotels, dining cars, logistics and mobile hospitals.

"Its functional design is integrated with our autonomous driving platform, and can be operated through the smart phone APP. Of course, it can also be authorized to Dabai. Just ask Dabai to do it. However, the team is still under development and currently does not support Dabai hosting. ."

At this moment, Luo Sheng and others are looking at the prototype car parked in front of them. From the appearance, it adopts a very sci-fi design style. The white car shell is matched with a large area of ​​glass. It uses a van. Like a piece of white bread.

A little cute van, but the design is very futuristic, and there is no such thing as a front or rear, because it is fully electric and driverless.

Luo Sheng entered the car and took a look. Ding Ping who followed up looked around and couldn't help but nodded: "Whether it's color matching, floor, interior decoration, seats, etc., they are all quite humane."

The accompanying technical director laughed and said: “This concept car should be called a'multifunctional electric chassis with fully automatic driving capability', because we designed this car’s main function to replace the cabin connected to the chassis. That’s why it was designed as a van structure in order to be able to exchange carriages with different functions to achieve functional changes."

Luo Sheng said: "For example?"

He did not understand, because he did not participate in the design and development of this driverless car, but the key technology is inseparable from Luo Sheng, which is the application of the core artificial intelligence technology.

The technical director introduced one by one:

"For example, if you put a shelf bay on it, then it is a mobile unmanned vending machine; if you install a business cabin, then this is a mobile office space; if you install an empty cabin, then this is an unmanned freight vehicle. Small trucks can act as mobile catering trucks, hurry up delivery trucks, etc..."

"The length of the body can be adjusted from 5 meters to 8 meters, and the tires can also be arranged in 4 or 8 according to the actual situation."

At this moment, Luo Sheng's carriage is a special travel compartment with 7 seats. If you add standing space, you can take more than 20 people.

Luo Sheng sits in the side seat, next to a console panel, you can manually plan the route, you can also voice input, and you can complete it through the mobile APP.

"Ok……"

Luo Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "Very good design. For most people, their lives are connected by different'scenes', such as their own apartment, company office, restaurant or convenience store downstairs. , Small parks or gyms near home, restaurants or shopping malls for weekend gatherings, and nearby movie theaters or bars, etc..."

"The connection to these'scenes' is often a car, but it is not so much a car as a mobile platform. The future car, in addition to the'transporter' and the'transportation', may also be able to'transport the scene'. Right. Not bad, this driverless car and Dabai have this huge linkage effect."

Luck scene?

What the big boss said is compelling. It's worthy of being a big technology guy. That's obviously the case. Changing a noun will make it inexplicably high.

Luo Sheng repeatedly nodded and praised: "Well...standardized, customizable, personalized, and multi-functional. It brings clean, interconnected, safe and energy-saving mobile travel to consumers and enterprises, which can meet various travel and transportation needs. . Yes, very good, remember that the cost of the cabin should be reduced, as much as possible, so that customers can customize more styles of personalized cabins, which fully reflects its competitive advantage."

"Imagine that when you get in the car, it will ask you what kind of riding and driving style you like? What kind of sound effects do you need? Maybe everyone buys the same car, but you can customize completely different services, resulting in different You can change the style at any time."

"Some are racing styles, some are comfortable styles for presidential cars, some can be their own shopping baskets, and some can be their own private kitchens, etc., but all of these are based on the precise control and application of customer data. Star Technology has data that can provide support. The future of the car may be rebuilt by this model to build a new ecosystem and a new lifestyle."
