My science and technology museum - Chapter 152 Officially launched

For smart cars with driverless technology, the higher the speed, the more difficult it is to ensure their stability, and the higher the probability of an accident.

Moving the press conference to the highway will allow Xingyuan smart cars to reach higher speeds.

This can better demonstrate the power of driverless mode.

After all, the audience’s eyes are sharp, and they can distinguish the difference in overall performance between the two cars. What’s more, although Tesla’s previous press conference broadcast the actual driving process, it was on urban roads, and the driving speed was very limited. .

However, after Jia Zhongjie heard Xu Lei’s proposal, he seemed a little stunned.

“Move to the highway?”

After repeating the sentence in a low voice, a lot of thoughts flashed through his mind as his mind was running rapidly.

Thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.

Normal new product launches are mainly held at venues or racetracks.

At least this way you can keep all emergencies under your control.

If you really run to a place like the highway, then no matter what happens, it is possible.

In addition to being difficult to deal with in time, it will also have an impact on our own products. I have to say that this is a very bold approach.

But on the other hand, this proposal is really gimmicky and can stir up the nerves of users.

Just as Jia Zhongjie was thinking about it, Wang Dawen next to him suddenly said: “Mr. Xu, I think this solution is feasible. Our Xingyuan smart car can withstand any test.”

Jia Zhongjie was still a little hesitant at first, but after hearing Wang Dawen’s words, he immediately made a decision secretly.

As soon as Wang Dawen finished speaking, he took over the conversation and said: “Mr. Xu, leave this matter to me. I will immediately communicate with the relevant departments to choose a suitable expressway.”

“Well, just go ahead and do it.”

Seeing that both of them agreed to his proposal, Xu Lei naturally said nothing more and finally just nodded in response.

Then the two of them immediately turned around and exited the office.

——

Since the specific time of the press conference is initially set for next week, Jia Zhongjie and Wang Dawen do not want to continue to delay the time.

Previously, Tesla used public opinion to discredit the driverless mode of Xingyuan Smart Car. Although netizens did not believe this, in their view, this was also a shame.

So both of them were holding back their energy.

We want to seize the time to put the Xingyuan smart car on the market, and then use the most realistic user reactions to slap Tesla in the face.

Let them know that domestic high-end new energy vehicles are not so bad.

So in this situation, Jia Zhongjie and Wang Dawen didn’t waste any time. Instead, they cooperated with each other to quickly resolve the specific preparations for the use rights of a certain section of the highway and the press conference.

Friday, March 18, 2022.

Today is definitely an extremely happy and exciting day for users who want to buy new energy vehicles.

Because Xingyuan smart car is finally officially launched.

Ten o’clock in the morning.

Before the press conference officially started, a large number of users had already crowded into the live broadcast room.

Barrage messages were sent one after another.

“coming.”

“I’ve finally waited for this day.”

“Ready to order.”

“Put your words here, as long as the price is cheaper than Tesla’s, I will pay immediately.”

“Warm reminder, whoever buys this car will regret it.”

“Trus’ trolls, please don’t mess around with the rhythm in the live broadcast room.”

…

And at the same time.

On a certain highway section in Binjiang City, a white Xingyuan smart car was parked here.

However, it is worth mentioning that there is nothing in the entire car except for the camera installed in the front row.

Not to mention the passengers.

It can be said that if there were no public vehicles on this section of the highway for the time being, I would probably have called the relevant departments to report it as an accident vehicle.

When the scene shifted to the venue of Longfor High-Tech Park, Wang Dawen and Jia Zhongjie were already standing on the podium.

Yes.

Xu Lei did not serve as the keynote speaker at the press conference.

He directly handed over this task to Jia Zhongjie and Wang Dawen.

Mainly for the design and development of Xingyuan smart cars, Xu Lei did not personally participate in it. Most of it was Wang Dawen and relevant personnel in the research center.

It is perfect for them to be the keynote speakers.

“Welcome everyone to attend this new product launch conference. This time we sincerely launch the Xingyuan smart car.”

With the press conference officially started.

After Jia Zhongjie took the lead in speaking the opening remarks according to the procedure, two Xingyuan smart cars with different colors suddenly appeared on the big screen behind him.

Next is an explanation of the advanced electronic control system of the Xingyuan smart car and the special polymer materials of the motor body.

It can be said that it crushes the data released by Tesla’s smart driving cars in all aspects.

Of course, what everyone is most looking forward to is the price and the real-time live broadcast on the road.

that’s all.

With the audience’s patient waiting, after an hour-long explanation of various performance, the live broadcast finally switched to the car on the highway.

Then, with everyone watching, Wang Dawen remotely started the vehicle and set the destination by operating a special program on his mobile phone.

The starting speed of the motor is inherently faster than the engine. In addition, the Xingyuan smart car uses a solid-state power battery. It reaches extremely fast speeds in just a few seconds, running as fast as a cheetah on the highway.

But even if the car’s speed exceeds a hundred yards, the body is still very stable.

Its driving condition is even better than that of an experienced driver.

And obey traffic rules completely.

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room saw an empty car speeding steadily on the highway, and their excitement continued to rise.

To sum it up, I can only use two words to describe it.

Damn it.

So much so that the barrage style in the live broadcast room became strange.

“What a shame. This speed is almost 120. It’s really awesome.”

“The car body is still so stable.”

“The driverless mode can reach this level, and I’m afraid it has already crushed Tesla’s model.”

“I feel like this speed can continue to increase.”

“I have to admit, it’s really better than me.”

“Truss has never been on the highway at all. Who knows the specific situation.”

“Who originally said there was a technical problem with the driverless mode of Xingyuan smart car? It seems like there is a problem.”

“Don’t say anything, I have to buy it.”

…

In addition, after the car started driving normally, the originally closed highway section was also unsealed, so other social vehicles soon appeared on the road.

But even in increasingly complex road environments, Xingyuan smart cars are still extremely flexible.

Even if traffic regulations allow it, intelligent analysis and judgment can be made to change lanes and overtake. The whole process can only be described as smooth.

The final real-time driving scene ended with the car driving into the battery replacement station in the service station, which can be said to be very satisfactory. When the scene was switched back to the big screen in the venue, there was an extra row of numbers on the original vehicle.

It is the price of Xingyuan smart car.

663,000 yuan.

Compared with Tesla smart driving cars, the price is much more affordable.

The determination of this price has nothing to do with Xu Lei. It is the final result obtained after analyzing all aspects directly through Xingtong.

Because many parts of the entire car use its own technology, there is a big gap with other car brands.

In addition, the body also uses special polymer materials newly developed by the research center, which not only has stronger performance characteristics, but also is cheap.

This has led to a decrease in the production costs of Xingyuan smart cars.

The price of more than 600,000 yuan is a figure calculated after taking into account the interests of Xingyuan Battery.

Xu Lei is also very satisfied with this.

It is also worth mentioning that in fact, there is still room for the price to fall. However, since Xingyuan Smart Car is advertised as a high-end brand and has to compete with Tesla in the market, if the price is too low, it will become the same as domestic new energy vehicles. The brand is involuted, which is not appropriate.

But despite this, the price still makes users feel crazy.

I never expected that the price was much lower than I thought.

Originally, everyone thought that since the Xingyuan smart car was aimed at Tesla, the price would definitely not be too low.

In all likelihood, it will be similar to Truss.

But the fact is that the price of Xingyuan smart cars is much lower than Tesla.

In this way, Truss’s advantage was instantly eliminated. In this case, only those with a stupid mind would continue to support Truss.

As a result, users went crazy and started panic buying after the press conference officially ended and opened for sale.

I am afraid that I will not be able to grab it and have regrets.

However, the first batch of Xingyuan smart cars are only open for sale in a dozen selected cities. Users in other cities will have to wait for a while if they want to buy them.

Although the urban users who were not selected in the first batch were very sorry about this, they understood this approach.

After all, everyone knows that the supply of Xingyuan smart cars is limited, and it is not easy to satisfy the national market.

For this reason, I can only comfort myself by getting a good meal and not being afraid of being late.

In short, the official launch of Xingyuan smart cars has once again ushered in a wave of upsurge in the new energy automobile industry across the country, accelerating the transformation of the traditional automobile industry into new energy vehicles from the side.

The next day.

While all the car owners who purchased Xingyuan smart cars were waiting to get their cars, there was a brand new black Xingyuan smart car parked in the Modulus Industrial Zone.

“I have watched yesterday’s press conference. If this car can maintain that level on the highway, I’m afraid the other party’s driverless technology is not inferior to ours.”

Deng Wan, who looked very ugly, walked up to Wu Kangsheng, his eyes fell on the car, and his voice was a little cold.

The other party’s press conference was so successful, and all the data exceeded their previous press conference. This has had a serious impact on Tesla’s sales. It would be strange if Deng Wan was in a better mood.

Upon hearing this, Wu Kangsheng paused for a few seconds, and then replied: “Don’t worry, I will definitely find out the problems with this car.”

He also watched yesterday’s press conference. Although he was a little surprised by the performance of the Xingyuan smart car, he still firmly believed in his inference.

Therefore, in order to find out the technical flaws of Xingyuan smart car as soon as possible, Wu Kangsheng specially obtained an existing car from special channels.
