Global monopoly of technology

Being able to be praised and recognized by Luo Sheng is very exciting to the engineers present. Even if the same evaluation comes from different people, the weight is completely different.

After staying in the test workshop for a while, Luo Sheng and others also left the place. The latter asked Ding Ping who was accompanying him: "Which partners are there currently in the field of autonomous driving?"

Ding Ping replied: “There are more than three hundred companies, large and small, among them, they have reached in-depth cooperation with ZF, the world’s top auto parts supplier, including the cooperation between Aurora and Uber. Talking."

Luo Sheng nodded and said: "The technology of the Shining project will be integrated into a variety of commercial scenarios by the blue pure electric car. However, the main focus of the layout is on the domestic market. The future of the international environment has too many uncertainties and uncertainties. Stability factors, the systemic risks of cross-border trade are magnifying, and excessive investment may cause the company to lose money."

Luo Sheng is not the only one who is worried about this problem. Any multinational trading company hopes to have a stable business environment, but this kind of thing is often wishful thinking.

Let's just talk about the international market for this big white robot. Although it successfully raised 1 trillion euros this time, the contract was also signed.

But can it really be shipped in large quantities?

Luo Sheng himself has no absolute certainty of this, but it doesn’t matter to the Côte d’Azur. Anyway, it’s the money from overseas capital. The big deal is that this has never happened. Anyway, he won’t lose much .

Taking overseas financing channels was originally to prevent this uncertain international trade environment.

Ding Ping’s brief report: “We have already started negotiations with some potential partners in China. We plan to cooperate with domestic car-sharing service providers and plan to launch a system equipped with the Shining system at the end of this year. Fully automatic stance sharing of cars is the first step in the commercial application of this system."

Luo Sheng said: "Well, the technology has been freed up for you. You can start with the specific commercial applications."

"understand."

The two chatted and left the Blue Coast Lab. Luo Sheng accompanied Ding Ping to the Blue Pure Electric Automobile Company and came to his office.

"As for the commercial application solution, we have already formulated it internally three months ago. We intend to provide a batch of SUV-level autonomous driving test fleets equipped with the core computing equipment of the Shining, and we will cooperate with Didi in the future. New cooperation is launched on autonomous driving taxi services, Mr. Luo, take a look."

After Ding Ping finished speaking, he handed the plan plan to the other party, and poured two glasses of water by himself.

Luo Sheng opened the overview, Ding Ping came over and sat down on the opposite sofa, adding: "Fully automatic driverless driving is a brand new disruptive technology after all, and solving the trust problem of customers who dare not ride is the first priority."

"Indeed." Luo Sheng nodded and agreed: "The biggest problem lies in the sense of security and trust. The technical problem is solved. This is the biggest obstacle to commercial applications. As long as this problem is solved, it will usher in vigorous development."

Ding Ping continued: "So our plan is to start from another industry."

Luo Sheng looked at the solution in the planning book and saw it, and was surprised: "The food delivery industry?"

Ding Ping nodded and said: "Yes, transport people, people are worried about insecurity, but there will be no such problems with box lunch."

Luo Sheng: "How to implement it?"

Ding Ping: "We are still focusing on testing. We plan to cooperate with Meituan or Ele.me. We will designate a number of pilot communities in this city. We will first produce 100 multi-function unmanned vehicles on a small scale and equip them with Dabai robots. Linkage, do observation and research for about three months to further determine the follow-up plan."

Hearing such a plan, Luo Sheng couldn't help but shine.

You know, Dabai robots are now a hot artificial intelligence home product. If this pilot is successful, it means that the families that have purchased Dabai robots are potential consumer groups for multi-function unmanned vehicles.

Because Dabai can also play the role of a driver, there are so many things Dabai can do. Home travel service is one of the necessary skills, otherwise he would not be an excellent smart housekeeper.

Luo Sheng directly agreed: "Okay, that's it. The pilot will be tested as soon as possible. Meituan is hungry. I have my investment. Bluestar Technology is its largest shareholder. They have long wanted to use Dabai. I replaced the rider, who was just pressed by me. I believe I will be willing to actively promote this pilot. There is no problem with accessing these two takeaway apps."

Ding Ping said: "But the Shining system does not yet support access to Dabai. It is still under development. It will take a while..."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "I understand what you mean, I will take them personally, and update you in three days."

Hearing this, Ding Ping immediately smiled and said: "I am relieved with your words."

...

In the following days, the blue pure electric vehicle manufacturing department obtained the technology of the blue coast laboratory, and began to work overtime at no cost to quickly manufacture 100 multi-functional unmanned pure electric vehicles as a pilot.

And Luo Sheng also personally joined the developer sequence to update and upgrade the "Shining" system, and he completed the system upgrade within three days, which is his strength in the field of programming and artificial intelligence.

Ding Ping also contacted the heads of two domestic food delivery companies to discuss the pilot cooperation, and it went smoothly.

As Luo Sheng said, since the great white fire, whether it is a takeaway company or a courier company, it wants to let Leasing Dabai replace the current courier or takeaway rider.

The leasing service is not open to enterprise-level customers, unless one-time direct purchase. Although this method is not explicitly rejected, it is equivalent to indirect rejection.

A price of 600,000 yuan, a gap of millions of delivery staff, even if you sell these takeaway companies and express companies, you can’t afford it.

If it is a small purchase, it will not be useful, which is equivalent to rejection.

Although this cooperation is only a pilot test, it is a very clear trend-oriented after all. Luo Sheng is also his own major shareholder, and it is also happy to see if it is a hit.

...

In July, the first batch of 32 fully-automated, driverless, multi-function electric vehicles passed the safety test, and the blue pure electric vehicles also obtained the local government’s special test license, and the vehicles can be legally driven on the road.

At the same time, the Cote d'Azur side also delivered 32 large white robots, but the yellow skin became the blue hue of the hungry delivery staff, and they also wore a hat, which inexplicably hit the cute point.

The custom-made style of the multifunctional unmanned vehicle is a food delivery car. The car is equipped with a large area of ​​glass. It is also a blue-style small blue car for takeaways from Ele. It is cute and full of science fiction elements.

The first batch of unmanned vehicles tested were small blue cars of the Ele.me series, and the second batch of unmanned cars that were rushing to work were small yellow cars of the Meituan series.

On July 4, the first batch of test unmanned vehicles was put into pilot operation. In the early morning, 32 big whites, it should be said that "Fat Blue" boarded their own little blue cars and drove out from the Blue Pure Electric Automobile Company. Start the work of the first single business on the first day.

...

Code 0328 "Fat Blue" took a takeaway order, and then transmitted the address of the restaurant to the "Shining" system of the driverless car, and the driverless car quickly followed the address to the restaurant. .

After driving for about ten minutes, we arrived at the destination. "Fat Blue" got out of the small blue car, accurately located the store, and entered the hotel.

"Boss, takeaway 0328 came to pick up the meal, the order number is..."

After Fat Lan entered the restaurant, he found the owner of the shop and expressed his intentions. The owner and some customers were taken aback for a while.

Is this great white outfit a takeaway?

"This is your soup dumpling for takeaway..." The lady boss came back to her senses, and handed a copy of the takeaway comparison order number that had just been baked to the big white robot in Ele.me costume.

A young hungry takeaway who was waiting to pick up the food in this restaurant was stupid when he saw this scene, and subconsciously said, "Nani...?"

At that moment, the takeaway boy suddenly felt that he would soon be unemployed.

The people in the store were all surprisingly unanimously watching this Dabai leaving the restaurant with his lunch box in his small steps.
