My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 564 Bridge
"Mr. Bao, although I highly approve of your company's technology and insurance solutions, this cannot completely avoid the safety risks of advanced intelligent driving."

The press conference was still going on when a well-known automotive expert in the industry stood up and raised questions.

“As you know, there is no fully unmanned autonomous driving solution in the world yet.

So I just want to ask a question, if your company’s vehicle is in autonomous driving mode and a traffic accident occurs that results in death.

So who should bear legal responsibility, or even criminal responsibility, for the victims?
Is it the driver who is not present, or your technicians?"

This question is tricky and sharp, and it also raises the concerns of many potential buyers.

Regardless of whether this colleague attacked Idol out of competition, safety issues are always a hurdle that autonomous driving cannot avoid.

Not long ago, a case occurred in Los Angeles across the ocean where a Maodou series car killed two people while in Autopilot mode.

As a result, the driver was charged with manslaughter and sentenced to seven years in prison.

As the developer of the edamame series, Tesla has naturally come under scrutiny.

However, since Autopilot is only Tesla's advanced driver assistance system, it has been clearly stated that it cannot make the vehicle fully autonomous, the division of responsibility still mainly focuses on the driver.

But the "Badou" series of Aidu New Energy are different. They are promoted with "fully automatic driving" as the core.

For example, I took out my cell phone to call my car, but this car hit and killed a passerby in the underground parking lot.

So, should the car owner be held responsible, or should the car manufacturer be held responsible?
"Haha! Strictly speaking, this is a legal issue and should be addressed by our legal affairs department.

But in my opinion, this question is also very simple!" Mr. Bao still had a smile on his face.

"Since the accident occurred in fully autonomous driving mode, the owner of the car has a perfect 'alibi'.

Then all responsibilities will naturally be borne by us.

As the car owner, you just need to wait for our legal services and insurance company to arrive and handle all matters.

Of course, the premise of all this is that our car really has an accident.

If this really happens, then congratulations, you will not only be exempted from all responsibilities, but you will also receive a large amount of compensation from our company.

The amount of compensation shall not be less than three times the price of the vehicle itself!"

"Wow!" Everyone's eyes lit up.

If it’s fake, I’ll pay you three times the price!
This is a live broadcast with millions of people present.

How confident do you have in your own products to say such things at a press conference?
What security guarantee can compare to compensation in real money?
This eliminated most of the safety concerns in everyone's mind.

There are even some people with dark intentions who want to try to "artificially" create accidents and maliciously crack down on counterfeiting...

"Mr. Bao, in my opinion, 'Bajie' is already an amazing product.

But you just said that this series of models deeply integrates the upgraded version of 'Bajie', and the human-computer interaction is more convenient...

What specific upgrades have been made?”

At this time, someone in the audience asked another question.

Although many people present were focusing on the newly released models.

But many veteran "Bajie fans" who came for the "buy a speaker and get a car for free" offer were not there for the car. Instead, they were more concerned about the "included" smart voice assistant.

"On this point, we would like to ask our General Manager Hu to explain it to everyone." General Manager Bao smiled and extended his hand.

The big screen focused on Hu Yifei who had been standing nearby, and everyone then remembered that today was a joint press conference for their idol and Bai Yeji.

Bai Ye Ji seemed to have almost no presence in the new car launch just now.

However, Hu Yifei smiled and waved his hand.

"Haha! I'm not the protagonist of the White Night Chronicle today. Since you're asking what kind of optimizations Bajie has made, why not let it introduce itself?"

He walked to the flagship model "Love Bean" in the center of the stage and knocked on the hood of the car.

"Hello, Bajie."

【Hello! Mr. Hu! 】

brush!
A light suddenly appeared in front of the car.

When everyone looked closely, they realized that it was actually the image of a silver robot.

People who are familiar with Bai Ye Ji can recognize it at a glance. This is almost exactly the same as Bai Ye Ji's corporate logo...

“As you can see, in order to make Bajie more realistic, we used a combination of micro-projection equipment and an in-vehicle HUD (head-up display) to simulate its specific image.

Whether you are inside or outside the car, it can communicate with users face to face in this way.

"Wow~" There was an exclamation from the scene.

Although the projected image is a bit blurry and cannot achieve the 3D virtual image like in the movies.

This is the first time they have seen such in-vehicle human-computer interaction.

Compared with the monotonous mechanical sound coming from the loudspeaker, this face-to-face communication method with projected images is indeed more realistic and more in line with human communication habits.

At the same time, many people immediately thought of the application scenarios of this unique interaction mode in high-level autonomous driving.

For example... even when the owner is not present, Bajie can take the initiative to communicate with others...

Imagine that when you are busy, your car can pick up the express delivery according to your command.

Or, go to a snack stand and buy you a pancake?
Based on their actual testing of Bajie, they found that he had no problem understanding the logic and communicating with the other party in this simple scenario.

The new car hasn't even arrived yet, but "Bajie fans" and their respective media bloggers have already started imagining all kinds of things to do with it...

"Bajie, it seems that everyone is very curious about your new functions. Now it's your turn to explain them to everyone."

[Okay, please leave it to me! ]

The avatar turned to the audience and spread its hands in a very human gesture.

[Regarding what kind of technical upgrades I have made, unfortunately, I am afraid that it is not easy for everyone here, even professionals, to understand.

This is a new neural network structure and algorithm model pioneered by my developers, which is completely different from the current world AI system.

My underlying designers named this system 'Adult AGI', which is designed to perceive and understand the complexity of the real world, giving me the ability to make complex decisions in real-world scenarios...】

Hmm...I don't understand it but it seems pretty impressive.

After confusing everyone with a bunch of confusing professional terms, Bajie continued his introduction.

[In addition to the intelligent upgrade and optimization, another important update function of mine is that it is endowed with the ability of 'end-to-end artificial intelligence'. ]

The virtual image suddenly turned into spots of light and scattered, and then combined into parts and modules that made up the car...

[Take this 'Xiangsi Bean' as an example, it includes vehicle function modules, three-electric control systems, and the core intelligent driving system...

From machine vision to driving decisions, everything will be deeply integrated and controlled by my neural network.

In other words, this car is my body, and I am its brain, able to complete all vehicle control actions according to the user's instructions.

It is also possible to set custom functions.

Not only that, through the specific new Web3.0 Internet architecture, I can also connect to mainstream electronic devices in the real world with user authorization.

For example, smart wearable devices, mobile phones, computers...even a sweeping robot.

As long as the user needs it, they only need to download a terminal, and I can appear in any device equipped with audio playback and receiving devices through the Internet, and use voice mode to help users remotely control the vehicle...】

Mr. Yu below was stunned by what he heard.

What is "end-to-end artificial intelligence"... Isn't this the "Internet of Everything" they are planning to do...

It’s just that the other party doesn’t use application ecology and communication protocols to connect everything…

But an artificial intelligence? !

[Humans have created a brilliant civilization and developed a wide variety of electronic and mechanical products.

However, with the development of technology, the more advanced the electronic mechanical products are, the more complex their functions become.

An ordinary fuel vehicle has dozens of buttons, indicator lights and hundreds of functions.

This "Acacia Bean" has more than 300 intelligent functions, which is a huge learning project for humans.

In my opinion, human talent is creation, not learning and memory.

But this is exactly my strong point.

I think this is also the original intention of me being created as an AI.

Humans’ favorite way of communication is language and text, while electronic machines’ way of communication is 0 and 1.

I am fluent in both languages.

Therefore, rather than calling myself an "in-car smart speaker", I prefer to call myself an "assistive intelligent AI".

I am willing to be a partner of mankind and build a bridge between mankind and electronic machinery to connect all things...】
