"Would you like to prepare?" Kong Guanyu asked, "Prepare some materials or something."

"Forget it!" Ji Fan said, "It's not about welcoming investors and big clients, that's all."

They continued to work, and after more than an hour, Lu Zixin and others arrived.

"It's here. I was here last time. Although the place is small, it's really good." Xu Xiuying led Lu Zixin the way.

"Welcome to visit our company." Ji Fan came to greet him out of courtesy.

Lu Zixin said: "Today I want to learn more about your project. Next to me is Mr. Zhu Liangyan, who is also an expert in the field of unmanned driving."

Zhu Liangyan was in his forties and wore a neat suit. Because he was much older than Lu Zixin, Ji Fan paid more attention to him, guessing that Zhu Liangyan might be a capable person.

"Hello sir, please come in."

They walked into the company and looked around. Other employees at the Forerunner startup seem to be accustomed to this scene, each busy with their own work.

"Did you make this radar yourself?" Zhu Liangyan asked curiously when he saw the on-board radar.

"We improved it," Zhang Wei said. "It was originally a product of a German civilian radar company. After we bought it, we improved it for unmanned driving."

"With this radar installed, the car can detect obstacles and moving objects within 100 meters in advance, and then adjust the driving way through the intelligent system."

Lu Zixin asked questions and said, "What if there is wireless interference and other interference with radar installed? Isn't the self-driving car 'blind'?"

"This... Generally speaking, there will not be so much interference on the road, and our radar can also prevent certain interference." Zhang Wei explained.

"The road situation is very complicated, and no accident is allowed." Zhu Liangyan said, "How did you solve the difficulty of precise positioning of the vehicle?"

Hearing Zhu Liangyan's question, Ji Fan and others felt that he was a real expert. Today's motor vehicles all have positioning systems, but for fully automatic driving, they need more accurate positioning data to feed back to the system to ensure that the automatic driving does not go wrong.

At present, even the most advanced positioning systems on the market have an error of five to ten meters, which is a very serious error for fully autonomous vehicles!

"Under normal circumstances, we use Huaxia's Beidou satellite positioning system. The on-board computer performs automatic correction every ten seconds. When the weather is bad and the positioning system is affected by passing through tunnels, we use odometer and gyroscope inertial navigation."

After Ji Fan finished speaking, Zhu Liangyan directly pointed out the problem in his words, saying: "Inertial navigation units will have accumulated errors. If the tunnel is too long, the accumulated errors will increase. And this will increase the cost of the fully automatic driving system. ."

"This is impossible. Our solutions are already world-leading. These technologies are restricted by sensor equipment, and can only be solved unless the sensor system and positioning services are more complete." Ji Fan is very calm.

Zhu Liangyan nodded. Hongxin Group also encountered this problem when researching this project before.

They continued to check and asked many more questions.

To Lu Zixin's surprise, this pioneer startup company is a little better than he imagined. Although the company is small and the registered capital is small, when it comes to technology, they are really not bad, and they have been able to achieve a high degree of automation.

The field of unmanned driving is divided into four stages: driver assistance systems, partially automated systems, highly automated systems and fully automated systems.

At present, no company in the world dares to claim that it can reach the fourth stage, and the leaders are basically the third stage.

The background of Ji Fan and others is not simple. Many people in their company started their own businesses together after leaving other technology companies. There are executives and technical talents.

"Can we see the actual road test?" asked Zhu Liangyan, who had been with the company for a day.

Ji Fan and the others didn't do anything, just accompanied them to visit and explain.

Now hearing that they still have to look at the situation on the road, several people feel a little tired.

"Okay, we'll test it on the designated road." Ji Fan still agreed. He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Zhu Liangyan is said to be an executive of a large company. It's enough to invest hundreds of millions in a walker startup company.

As for Lu Zixin next to him, he regarded him as Zhu Liangyan's assistant and didn't pay much attention.

Their company's specialized test vehicle hit the road, driving slowly in an area with fewer pedestrians and fewer vehicles.

In front of the real-time monitoring screen, Lu Zixin watched the specially transformed driverless commercial vehicle driving on the road.

Under normal circumstances, it is naturally no problem at all, and it can also respond accordingly when encountering pedestrians or vehicles.

"Is it too slow?" Lu Zixin asked.

"It's a little slow, but our sensing system is not perfect. If the speed is too fast, we are afraid of safety accidents." Ji Fan explained.

"Oh."

Lu Zixin also watched the actual test, and it was not as amazing as he imagined. The reason is probably that the speed of the car is slow, and the response speed of intelligent processing is not agile enough.

"Mr. Zhu, what do you think? We are working hard to contact Hongxin Intelligent Development Co., Ltd. and want to reach a cooperation with them to solve the most difficult artificial intelligence problem in the problem of unmanned driving. As long as there is a certain amount of capital investment, within a year In the future, we may break through to the fourth stage of unmanned driving, fully autonomous driving!"

Ji Fan and others were promoting the company's entrepreneurial projects to Zhu Liangyan, but Zhu Liangyan just smiled and said, "You guys are doing pretty well, although there is still a gap between the technologies of companies like Qiandu and Google, but in the field of autonomous driving, It’s a first-class startup.”

"The rest, let's have a chance to talk."

Hearing his words, Ji Fan and others were a little disappointed. Does this mean that they don't like their project? That whole day was busy again!

Xu Xiuying looked at Lu Zixin and saw that he was thinking, so she did not interrupt him.

Lu Zixin was thinking, should he buy this company, or should Hongxin restart the driverless project, he needs to go back and talk to Zhu Liangyan.

"Let's do this today, thank you for your hospitality, and contact you tomorrow." Lu Zixin said.

Xu Xiuying's eyes lit up when she heard it, there is still drama! She hurriedly hinted to Ji Fan and said, "Is it still not a gift?"

Ji Fan sighed helplessly, but kept Lu Zixin and Zhu Liangyan downstairs politely.

But as soon as he got back upstairs, he was dissatisfied with Xu Xiuying: "Xiuying, you brought the two of you here today to play with us? It's been a whole day, and our entire company has not done anything, so I will introduce them to them. The project, and in the end we were dismissed in one sentence, is there such a thing?"

Xu Xiuying not only did not admit her mistake, but also retorted: "Playing? Ji Fan, do you think I brought someone to play with you! Do you know who they are?"

"Who?"

"I can't tell you now, but I can be sure that if they find you to cooperate again, your company will be prosperous!" Xu Xiuying said with a vow.
