“I’m here to give you a popular science, why network delay is so critical.”

“The signal is invisible, but it still has to follow the laws of physics and cannot be teleported out of thin air. Assume that point A is in the capital and point B is in Zhongyun City. The distance between points A and B is 800 kilometers, and the electromagnetic wave signal back and forth takes 0.008 seconds. Normal. The human response speed is 0.2 to 0.4 seconds. Although the signal propagation speed is much faster than the human neural response, the signal does not reach point B directly. It needs to be transmitted to the base station at point A, and then transmitted from the base station to the base station at point B. File transmission The amount of data also takes time. Just like when we click on the video, there will always be a little waiting time. This is the delay. If there is a delay, there may be operating instructions for remote driving, which cannot keep up with the user’s current environment changes. .”

“Thank you upstairs for popular science, you said that, I also don’t think remote driving is feasible, what if the base station is convulsed for a minute or two?”

“But the remote driving function is really great. If it succeeds, wouldn’t those of us who don’t know how to drive can go wherever they want?”

“It’s really developed, then I can safely drive to drink in the future!”

“Upstairs, please rest assured, don’t even think about this wish for ten years.”

“I said you guys, don’t care if you really get it out. How much is the data rate? For remote driving, you must pass the screen to the operation center through the panoramic camera of the Thunder Car. Don’t take a few hours in the car, it’s cool. After that, the car should be delivered to the mobile company.”

“It’s silly, 4G traffic is worthless, and I watch videos every day, but I don’t see a four-digit call charge.”

“Let’s go, the transportation department will not approve the release of this feature. Those guys don’t ask for merit but no demerits. This kind of controversial project must be one size fits all.”

“What they said makes sense.” Ye Qing, who was reading this article carefully and replied to the netizens below it, felt that this article was fairly pertinent, imparting a detailed analysis of the most difficult technical flaws in remote driving.

In particular, the transportation department does not seek merits but no demerits. It must be a one-size-fits-all approach. Messages that do not approve this kind of project.

However, the technical team led by Ye Qing and Dianjing will of course also think of problems that they can think of.

but……

When Behemoth Industry submitted detailed project materials for remote driving for the first time to the China Communications Department for review, it received a disapproval reply within two days.

As for the reason for refusal, they believe that in the current mode, remote driving poses a certain safety risk, unless Behemoth Industry can prove that in this mode, its network connection delay is less than 15 milliseconds.

It also provides a reliable response plan after accidental disconnection, and guarantees the safety of unlicensed drivers and drunk drivers who cannot operate the vehicle.

Relevant departments can continue to review this project.

Fortunately, Ye Qing was mentally prepared for this. The long-distance driving function of Thunder Car has far-reaching impact. Because once the approval is passed, people without a driver’s license can ride alone, and even drivers who drink alcohol can ride.

This has simply subverted everyone’s understanding of traffic safety. If it is not handled well, it can trigger a fierce condemnation of the project by the public.

It’s pretty good that the transportation department can review this project. Let’s take a look at a foreign company and make sure not to dump it.

Even if I changed to another company, I didn’t dump it.

Of course, Ye Qing was confident, and finally passed the approval, because the giant animal industry has a killer.

…

Twenty hours have passed since the monster industry upgraded the new version of Thunder.

The news of remote driving has also triggered more and more discussions on the Internet. Some people criticized the Behemoth Industry for starting to hype the concept, and it is impossible to wait for this project to be realized after 20 years.

There are also people who have strong support for this project and hope that the sooner it can be realized, the better, because this is a great boon for those who can’t drive.

When the Peregrine Falcon flew across the continent, crossed the ocean, and finally reached the sky over China. The news that the Giant Animal Industry wants to engage in remote driving has also spread across the ocean to European and American countries.

Now the giant animal industry has entered the eyes of more and more European and American netizens.

Before, there are the magic crystal phone, and the Titan who saved people bravely on the ocean, and then there is a super cute intelligent assistant that can soften people’s hearts. Unconsciously, European and American countries discovered that a world-class industrial technology company has emerged in the far east.

Each of their products can strike people’s hearts like lightning. However, this company seems to have an enmity with Europe and the United States, or that this company likes to hide its products and not share them with foreign customers.

This time, they want to introduce remote driving function again?

When various science and technology magazines publish articles, they will subconsciously compare the giant beast industry with their proud domestic enterprises. And then somehow came to the conclusion that the country’s technology companies are good rubbish.

Among them, Tesla has been criticized the most.

At Tesla’s headquarters in Silicon Valley, Tesla CEO Martin is holding an important online conference related to the Behemoth Industry.

There are only three protagonists in this online conference, the governor Martin, the director of the Energy Bureau Mr. Akram, and the president of Raytheon Technology, Mr. Bertram. The faces of the three big bosses appeared on the same screen, and their expressions were very similar, and they were all frowning expressions that were owed hundreds of millions of dollars.

“Mr. Bertram, Raytheon Technology, which step did you do in the evaluation and testing of plasma battery applications in the military field?” The meeting had just begun, and the Director of the Bureau of Energy Akram took the lead to speak.

The three of them didn’t even have the necessary etiquette to say hello. It looked like a video conference, which had been held more than once.

Raytheon Technology is well-known. It is one of the important defense contractors of the US military. Most of its products are centered on military technology projects. At the same time, this technology company is one of the few companies in China that has dealt with the giant monster industry.

Since last month, after Tesla reported the amazing discovery in the lightning vehicle, the Energy Bureau immediately launched a comprehensive evaluation of the plasma battery. The military aspect was handed over to Raytheon Technology, and the civilian aspect was taken care of by Tesla.

Compared with the arrogance and complacency when he first dealt with the giant monster industry, the expression of the president of Raytheon Technology has already appeared in awe because of his in-depth research on plasma batteries.

Technology is very intuitive, and the strong are admired. As for those superpowers who have dumped their peers a dozen or so blocks away, they will make their peers desperate and fearful…

“The test of small electronic equipment has been completed, and the test of medium and large military equipment is now being carried out. The projects include field radar, vehicle-mounted drones, and small special submarines.”

“What is the current conclusion?” Several military projects reported by President Bertram made the Director of the Energy Bureau a little nervous.

“Very bad.”

Raytheon Technology President Bertram shook his head, “I mean we are in a very bad situation. We got three samples of plasma batteries. No matter what kind of equipment we connect it to, it can perform surprisingly. Matching capability. Mounted on the UAV, it has increased the UAV’s endurance nearly four and five times. Special submarines will be tested in the afternoon.”

“But I am pessimistic about the test results, because it will destroy our confidence in the energy sector.”

“I see, what about the civilian field?” Chief Aklan sighed and turned to ask Tesla executive Martin.

“Our confidence has been completely destroyed.” Martin pondered for a while, and then said: “Just yesterday, we noticed that the Behemoth Industry has upgraded the lightning car system. This upgrade, in addition to the original functions In addition to optimization, it also announced the launch of a remote driving function.”

“I have read the news.” Director Aklan said: “Since Behemoth Industry dared to propose this plan, it must have made a breakthrough in wireless connection technology.”

“The sentence that the military version is always one level higher than the civilian version is applicable to any country, especially China.”

“Behemoth Industry must have a stronger version of the plasma battery. We can notice the excellence of the plasma battery, and the China Energy Department can do the same.”

“When you finish the test, all these plasma batteries will be disassembled and the energy storage materials will be analyzed and imitated. We must not fall behind in the important energy field.”

“No, Mr. Director.” Martin smiled wryly: “We bought four Thunderbolt cars through special channels. After all, it is our Tesla’s number one opponent.”

“Sell…sell me one.” Bertram, president of Raytheon Technology, said embarrassedly.
