Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 16 Autonomous Driving, L4 Intelligent Driving
[Obtained vehicle intelligent driving architecture technology, supporting L4 level autonomous driving capabilities. ]

Because a large amount of scientific and technological knowledge related to algorithm software was poured into his head in an instant, Wei Jiang, a programming rookie, had a face twitching from time to time.

Intelligent driving solution base architecture, efficient algorithm design, environment perception synchronization algorithm, and optimal path planning algorithm.
Hundreds of intelligent driving knowledge that surpasses current human technology were stuffed into Wei Jiang's head.

Noticing the words on the panel in front of him, Wei Jiang thought:
"MD! Such a complex technology, can my brain handle it?"

"Depend on!"

The rapid operation of the brain consumed a lot of energy from the body. Wei Jiang even felt his body temperature rise by several degrees.

His cheeks became hot and his blood flow accelerated, causing Wei Jiang to sweat profusely.

"It is detected that the owner has a fever, and the cooling zone in the car is activated, and the temperature is set to 20 degrees."

When the in-car smart terminal made the announcement, Wei Jiang felt a slight cool breeze blowing around his body.

The skin then felt a cool sensation, and all that was left was to persevere and wait for the transfer of technical knowledge to be completed.

"The air purification module in the car is activated."

When Wei Jiang was standing still, the in-vehicle intelligent terminal automatically started the air purification.

It seems that this time, Wuling mini has a lot of new things that Wei Jiang doesn’t know about.

More than half an hour later, Wei Jiang exhaled a breath of foul air, collapsed on the chair and breathed heavily.

The knowledge related to intelligent driving technology has finally been transmitted. Now, as long as he brings up an idea related to intelligent driving, the related analysis, optimization and solutions will emerge simultaneously.

"Damn, I'm so tired!"

“This is really not something that most people can accept.”

Wei Jiang felt like he was completely paralyzed. Not only did he not want to open his limbs, he even didn't want to open his eyelids.

He was very sure that his body had secreted a lot of sweat in the past half hour.

Even with the air purification and cooling control in the car, he could still feel the short sleeves sticking tightly to his skin.

"The strengthening mission is not easy, and this journey after strengthening is not easy either."

Wei Jiang rested for more than ten minutes, but still felt that his condition was not very good.

I glanced at the display screen in front of me. Since I didn't have the energy to drive, I might as well try out the in-car smart terminal.

Wei Jiang forced himself to fasten his seat belt, resting his head on the seat, his voice weak.

"Start autopilot and take me home."

"Okay, please tell the terminal owner your home address."

"No. 19, Xiaxia Village, Shanxia. Go ahead and I'll show you the way."

Wei Jiang thought that the other party didn't know the way and needed his directions, but the in-car smart terminal directly refused.

"Please rest assured, the terminal has downloaded public map data from the Internet and the destination location has been determined."

Wei Jiang grinned and closed his eyes.

"Okay, good job, call me when you get home."

In the darkness, Wei Jiang felt the vehicle beneath him sway slightly and turn around. The seat wrapped around his body, and he barely swayed or rocked.

The sound of the vehicle's motor could be faintly heard. Wei Jiang didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the sunlight coming in through the front window of the car had become much dimmer. With his eyelids closed, he couldn't even feel the changes in the external light.

Due to physical fatigue and the vehicle was running smoothly enough, Wei Jiang fell into a deep sleep within a few minutes after the vehicle started. His light snoring sounded rhythmically in the car.

The afternoon sun was still scorching, and this Wuling mini was the only car driving fast on the mountain road.

When the Wuling mini drives to the exit of the mountain road, there is a monitoring probe installed at the intersection ahead, which is usually used to monitor vehicles entering the mountain for personnel safety and forest fire prevention needs.

Before the Wuling mini enters the shooting range of the surveillance camera, if there are people on the scene, they will find that the light transmittance of the front window changes rapidly.

I used to be able to see the situation inside the car through the window, but now I can only vaguely see someone sitting in the driver's seat.

Coming out of the ring road, the Wuling mini merges into the road, less than 4 kilometers away from Xiafang Village where Wei Jiang's home is.

Although it is not a busy section of the city, there are still many vehicles and pedestrians on the road.

The Wuling mini drives smoothly, weaving between different vehicles, and occasionally turns on the turn signal to alert nearby vehicles.

It was less than 4 kilometers away, and a few minutes later the Wuling mini slowly and steadily drove into the open gate and stopped in the yard.

Several workers in work clothes who were tamping the ground in Grandpa Wei Jiang's yard were sitting under a tree in the yard to rest and eat watermelon. Several people looked at the Wuling mini, they knew it was the employer's car, the employer drove out a few hours ago, it seemed that the work was done.

"Hey, this kid is having fun driving this little Wuling. Look, he even washed it after going out. Did he even do some maintenance?"

A smoking worker couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the shiny Wuling in front of him.

He always felt that this Wuling had become different after a trip.

The whole car body looks newer and more textured.

An elderly worker nearby also nodded.

"Don't mention it, this Wuling mini commuter car looks pretty good."

While several workers were chatting, the terminal voice in the Wuling mini car rang again.

"Owner, we have arrived at your home."

Wei Jiang was sleeping soundly, and the terminal's wake-up service obviously failed.

Keeping in mind the car owner's instructions, the terminal adjusts the built-in massage module of the driver's seat to perform physical wake-up.

"Car owner, wake up, we are already home."

The tilt angle of the driver's seat changed, and the massage tentacles inside the seat turned. Wei Jiang groaned and woke up.

He felt like he could go on sleeping for hours.

He raised his arm and rubbed his eyes gently.

Wei Jiang opened his eyes, looked at the familiar door in front of him, and unbuckled his seat belt.

"Thanks for your hard work."

“It is my mission to serve you.”

Listening to the voice that matched his own, Wei Jiang frowned and said:
"I'll find a new voice later. It feels a bit abnormal to keep using my voice."

"Ok."

As soon as his finger touched the car door, the terminal determined that Wei Jiang was about to get off the car and the door opened automatically.

Wei Jiang took a step forward, his body slumped and he looked listless.

With a push, the car door closed.

"Everyone, is the progress going well inside?"

Seeing the cut watermelons on the table in front of several workers, Wei Jiang had bought them in advance.

"Don't worry, boss. It will be completed on time. You can rest assured about the quality."

A middle-aged man raised the half-smoked cigarette in his hand and made a promise to Wei Jiang.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Wei Jiang nodded, responded and walked into the house.

Wei Yonghe heard the sound and came out of the room in a wheelchair.

"came back?"

"Well, Dad, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going back to the house to sleep for a while. Call me when it's time to make dinner."

Wei Jiang checked that his father was fine and went into his room.

Seeing his son Wei Jiang looking obviously very tired, Wei Yonghe was not sure what his son had gone out for.

But when I think about the fact that my son is the one supporting the family now, it must not be easy.

"I know, go to sleep and don't worry about it."

Watching Wei Jiang walk into the room, Wei Yonghe's eyes swept over the Wuling mini parked in the front yard.

Why does this car feel different from when I drove out at noon?

Having been repairing cars for half his life, he is still very sensitive about cars.
