Chapter 1457: The Driver’s Second Pair Of Eyes

“You’ll be held responsible for catching up later. There’s a recording in the car. AEEIS has completed the reminder task and is not in the automatic driving state. The responsibility is completely on the driver. AEEIS will truthfully report to the traffic police officer. The image of the car recording will be uploaded at the same time.”

“There’s a speed camera in front. Please slow down.”

“Overtime estimates: If you exceed the stipulated time limit by 10%, you will not reach 20%. You will be rewarded with 3 marks and fined 50 yuan. After overtime, AEEIS will automatically generate fine orders.”

“Detected that there seemed to be abnormal acceleration in the back of the car just now. I suggest you stay away from him and avoid him.”

“Driving habits algorithm detected that the car danger index in the front right is B-rank – more dangerous. It is recommended to stay away.”

“Detected that you are undergoing dangerous driving behavior. Recommendation to revise subject four: The speed cannot exceed 30 kilometers per hour through sharp turns, non-automated car lanes, iron road intersections, home roads, narrow bridges, downhill roads, sharp turns, snow roads, and mud roads.”

“Your driving speed is not lower than 30. Do you want to book a new driver’s license test?”

Zhang Yan exclaimed.

She had thought that AEEIS had changed. Now, he realized that it was still the same. How pure!

AEEIS would immediately start “reminding” if it detected the driver’s dangerous driving behavior. However, such reminders were indeed infuriating most of the time…

Fortunately, Zhang Yan had experienced the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine before and had a good understanding of AEEIS’s temper. Thus, this apology did not make her feel angry. Instead, it was quite interesting.

After all, everything AEEIS said was based on the traffic rules.

The AEEIS intelligent system in this car obviously had two models: one was an automatic driving mode. At this time, apart from knowing how to drive, AEEIS would also diss the behavior of other cars. The other was the driver mode. AEEIS would target the driver. Once the driver showed signs of not being safe, it would ruthlessly criticize.

How did AEEIS judge these dangerous driving behavior?

That was because the automatic driver system of the car was also working when the driver was driving. Even though the driver had the highest authority, when in extreme emergencies, such as when he was about to catch up and hit someone, the driver would not have time to react. The automatic driver system would also help to stop.

Even if such an extreme situation did not occur, the screen on the car would still show the cars, pedestrians, and other information that appeared nearby in real time. It would also calculate the best way to drive in the current situation. The reminders and warnings would help the driver obtain more road information.

It had not taken over the driving of the car, but the relevant calculations were still ongoing.

What’s more, Zhang Yan noticed that not only could this car detect the dangerous driving behavior of this car, but it could also detect the dangerous driving behavior of other cars.

For example, if a car outside frequently slowed down, plugged in, or accelerated in places that should not have been accelerated, after being scanned by the smart system on K1, AEEIS would think that this car had a certain degree of danger. It would be marked on the screen and used as a voice message to inform the driver.

It would estimate the damage rating based on the car’s dangerous driving model to remind the driver to pay attention.

Some people might think that this thing was useless.

If he met a car on the way, he might not be able to see it for a few minutes. What could he do with this bit of data?

However, it was better than nothing.

In fact, when driving, especially when there was a traffic jam, they would often encounter a situation where several cars were blocking the same road. Perhaps a car snatched the car lane and went first, but after a period of time, they would see it in another car road. This situation was quite common.

Under such circumstances, the system would remember the car for a period of time as long as it made any dangerous movements. It would remind the driver to stay away and try to avoid accidents.

What’s more, this was only the initial function. It would be very expandable in the future.

If there were more and more K1 outside, the data collected would become richer, and the data stored would become more and more numerous. Then, he would be able to judge the risk level of a car based on a large number of calculations. The more data there was, the more accurate the specific number would be.

In fact, one day in the future, it was possible that the car owner of K1 would be able to see the danger of most of the surrounding cars once he went on the road. The car owner would know.

Not only that, there was another benefit to this smart driving system. It was a more accurate reminder than the navigation.

The navigation would only remind them of the road in front. However, they did not know that the driver was driving wrongly.

The navigation would only discover it when it was completely biased. Then, they would redesign the route.

However, K1’s automatic driving system was very clear about when to change lanes and make preparations. Thus, if the driver did not do these movements in time, AEEIS could remind her first and even tell her where she went wrong.

For example, some intersections in the city road did not allow left turns. The navigation might have directly indicated that they had to go straight. The driver might not have seen the logo that prohibited left turn. She might still be puzzled. Wasn’t this just a direct left turn? She might have turned left without thinking too much.

The navigation would not react at this point in time.

However, once AEEIS discovered that the driver had switched on his left turn signal and turned the steering wheel, it would know that the driver wanted to turn left. It would remind the driver immediately that a left turn was not allowed at this intersection. After turning left, three points would be deducted and two hundred would be fined.

At that time, the driver still had room to salvage the situation. He would not look so confused when he received the ticket.

There were many similar things. All in all, AEEIS drove very standardly and strictly followed the traffic rules. It was slow but very safe. AEEIS would also constantly remind people to correct their wrong driving behavior when they were driving.

It might be quite annoying for some drivers who were used to it and would turn off AEEIS, but it might not be a bad thing for others.

After all, how could one’s shoes not be wet when walking by the river? If you kept stuffing yourself, you would be fine even if you added it for ten years. However, if a driver’s head was relatively hard and did not let you go at all, you might be met with a car accident or a side trip.

This game was called ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’. It was indeed worthy of its reputation.

While driving, Zhang Yan also realized that apart from automatic driving, this car actually had another advantage. That was to expand the driver’s vision and increase the safety of the car!

It was safer than other cars even if he did not drive the automatic driving mode.

There was actually a paradox in automatic driving technology: automatic driving required high-definition cameras and sensors, powerful carload chips and algorithms. All of these required money. Then, new energy cars that carried automatic driving might be more expensive than traditional branded oil cars.

If one did not use the automatic driving, the equipment would not be used. Wouldn’t the money be wasted?

However, if the driver used automatic driving, he would naturally let down his guard. What if something went wrong with the automatic driving system?

In other words, the driver had to keep a close eye on it. Even if this automatic driving system had run for tens of thousands of kilometers without any problems, it did not mean that it would not have any problems in the next second. The driver could not relax completely.

How much more convenience could this automatic driving technology make for the driver?

Use, not safe enough; don’t use, waste money.

This paradox was also an important reason why many people thought that automatic driving was a long way from being truly mature.

However, while driving K1, Zhang Yan realized another role of this technology: expanding the vision of the driver.

Due to the high-definition sensors and cameras, the cars could monitor the driver’s blind spot and remind him in time.

In other words, even if you don’t use automatic driving, buying this car would be equivalent to having an artificial intelligence old driver watching you on the passenger seat and giving you suggestions.

The money spent on these sensors and cameras was worth it because it was equivalent to the driver’s second pair of eyes. It was indeed useful!

As long as you could hold back AEEIS’s BB.

Zhang Yan drove the car out of the downtown area and was banned by AEEIS all the way.

“Alright, alright. You’re so awesome. You should drive. I’ll continue to open the competition path later.”

The racing drivers were driving very fiercely on the racing track, desperately fighting for that fraction of a second. However, when they reached the city road, they all drove very orderly, completely different from the competition ground.

That was because the racing drivers were professionals. They knew very well that the racing track and city road were different. The racing car and home car were also different, so the two driving methods were naturally different.

The more noob a person was, the more they liked to be brave and ruthless on the city roads. They would race wildly and play drift. That was because they had no idea about their own skills at all. At the same time, they did not take their lives and safety seriously.

Zhang Yan might not be a racing car driver in reality but she had already had a similar mentality after training in the game for so long.

She changed the car to an automatic driving mode and continued to run the internet cafe while chatting with the bullet screen comments.

At that moment, the comments were all focused on the automatic driving of K1.

“This is too ridiculous. Why do I feel like AEEIS is better at driving than humans? This doesn’t make sense, right?”

“It reminds me of the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine… Previously, I couldn’t win AEEIS in an argument. Now, I can’t even drive it…”

“Is this automatic driving technology almost at L4 and L5? It has been operating for so long but it has not taken over even once, right?”

“There were so many people at the entrance of the shopping mall. I thought I had to take over. In the end, they really drove over slowly? It was even more stable than driving!”

“That’s why I said that this car is an official cheat. Wouldn’t it be invincible to drive it and ask for a car? It might be a little slow to earn money, but it can be hung up!”

“Buy a K1 and let it earn its own money by making an online appointment.”

“I know why this downloadable content is free. It can’t be because you’ve received Stamford’s advertising fee, right? Even though the Stamford car is indeed alright, isn’t it a little too much to do this?”
