Vol 6 Chapter 2851: The taxi of the future has no driver

How is this different from the functionality in the navigation apps we use? Susie couldn't help asking when she heard the words.

Seeing Susie's inquiry, Peng Gong explained with a smile: "Its function and purpose are the same, it is to provide the public with surrounding information services.

However, our system is more suitable for the actual needs of users and will help users filter out some unnecessary information. And the entire push mechanism is more intelligent, it is like your personal assistant helping you to filter, and the selected ones are all in line with your actual needs.

Unlike other navigation apps, it only pushes based on search results or bids. "

Having said that, Peng Gong clicked on the sky display screen above his head, and then said: "More importantly, the information it pushes is more comprehensive and practical, and it will distribute the same location on dozens of platforms. The information is synthesized, and the necessary information is selected and displayed, so that our users do not need to jump to more than a dozen platforms, just click here, and the useful information about this place will be displayed.”

"To give a simple example, for example, if we want to choose a restaurant to eat, the intelligent system will automatically screen out your favorite restaurant or flavor, or other requirements.

For example, if you like Sichuan cuisine or Huaiyang cuisine, the environment of the restaurant, the price standard, the taste of the dishes, the signature dishes, and whether the restaurant has parking spaces, or whether there are no parking spaces nearby, etc. display.

And that function cannot be used in conjunction with the intelligent driving system. Before he chooses that restaurant, the vehicle will automatically drive to the door of that restaurant, and before he gets in the car, the vehicle will automatically drive under the parking space and stop. When he is eating dinner, he only needs to click to call the vehicle, and the vehicle will automatically come to the door of the restaurant to pick him up and get off when he walks out of the restaurant. "

In that case, it is very convenient, and it really solves your pain point of parking in the city. Peng Gong nodded and said: "It's like you, when you don't have time to go to the restaurant to eat, if there is a parking space, you need to hear the car from the parking lot far away, and then walk over. So you don't bother to drive out over time. Taking a taxi is less convenient than driving.”

Yes, Susie nodded and said: "The technicians in your team hate that function very much, and they rush to test it during the test. Few people are lazy and don't even drive. They let those equipment go after work every day." The vehicles of your low-level automatic driving system come to retreat to pick up and drop off, which is called a regression test."

So in the future, those taxi drivers and online car-hailing drivers will lose their jobs. Xing Ting was stunned for a moment after hearing Su Qian's answer, and then asked.

In addition, after the L-level fully autonomous driving technology has not been commercially available, the coverage of the L4-level automatic driving system is unlimited, which means that it has dead spots in coverage, and no taxis and online appointments The car is completely affected.

However, in the process of carrying passengers in the vehicle, the vehicle will give priority to completing the task of receiving orders, and then respond to the owner's call. "

Why, it’s not that whether it’s a manned taxi or a manned online car-hailing car, all rely on artificial intelligence. Although they are stupid, they are only stupid, so their service is bad, but there is no temperature, it is considerate enough .

It is only necessary to purchase vehicles and obtain operating qualifications. Those taxis and online car-hailing vehicles equipped with low-level automatic driving systems cannot be degraded to manned driving operations. If a driver is needed, those vehicles cannot complete the entire process of receiving orders and carrying passengers.

First of all, it is not the cost. The cost of the L4-level low-level automatic driving system is not cheap. Whether taxis and online car-hailing can be applied has not been actually verified. "That question is very sensitive, and if the answer is bad, it may cause very little controversy. So Xing Ting glanced at the man with a beautiful face behind her, then smiled and shook her head and said: "Yes, for sure, in the future, there will be people driving taxis. If there are fewer and fewer cars and online car-hailing vehicles, they cannot completely replace drivers.

Of course, the whole process will affect the use of the car owner himself, and the car owner has no unlimited right to use it. The owner of the car cannot reset the relevant setting timing according to his own needs, nor can he use one-key calling to call the car behind him.

Speaking, Susie glanced at Peng Gong, then changed her tone and said: "Of course, that function may give birth to few taxi companies or online car-hailing companies in the future.

On the other hand, long-term passenger carrying will reduce the life of the vehicle and accelerate the aging of the facilities and equipment in the vehicle, so car owners will definitely refuse.

Hehe, Xing Ting couldn't help laughing when she heard Susie's words, and then she suddenly thought of something, and then asked Susie: "Speaking of which, you heard what Mr. Wu said at the press conference Is it true that the car cannot take orders and carry passengers to support itself?"

It is only for taking orders and carrying passengers, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com and it can't go to the charging station to charge or go to the gas station to refuel by itself, and it can even go to the automatic car wash room to return the car to wash the car.

So when he sees whether there will be a taxi driver in the future, he must be surprised, it will be very common. In fact, the current technology is fully mature, and what is lacking is industry technical standards, as well as the formulation and management of corresponding laws and regulations. "

No more, it’s not the kind of manned taxis and online car-hailing drivers that have certain restrictions, such as limited to which areas, beyond that area, it’s okay, and they can move across regions, such as driving from the northeast to the South China Sea, and driving from the west Xinjiang To Shanghai, those are possible. But no taxis and online car-hailing can't, as long as he wants to.

Only those problems can be solved, so that the dream of allowing private cars to become public transportation and allowing vehicles to support themselves can be realized. "

Su Xi smiled and nodded and said: "It's true, as long as you get the authorization of the car owner and cooperate with the relevant platform, the car can't go out to pick up orders by itself and become a manned network." About car.

Speaking of that, Susie said anxiously: "Yes, many car owners may not be willing to do that. On the one hand, a small number of car owners may hate making their private vehicles so public and allowing fewer people to ride. It's too hygienic.

No, this is not related to relevant laws and regulations. It is still in a blank stage in that area. How to regulate and formulate corresponding industry standards and regulations are also issues that need to be studied and thought about.

Nowadays, very few boys take taxis or online car-hailing cars late at night. Is it because they are afraid? Before the taxis and online car-hailing cars are driven by people, Xiaojia is afraid because there is no one outside the car. Slightly increases its sense of danger.
