Chapter 285: Driverless

In the report that Liu Fan showed to Liu Wei, it was written that the average waiting time for an online taxi appointment at the peak of Hangzhou has now exceeded 3 hours.
In the main city area, the average waiting time is half an hour, even if it is not the peak period. Obviously, there is a shortage of online car rental.
In fact, according to the big data, online taxis have been in short supply since a long time ago, because as everyone ’s income level increases, many people do n’t care about taxis, but the salary of online taxi drivers is getting lower and lower. As a result, online car rental has been in short supply for a long time.
Now, this phenomenon is even more obvious. The "culprit" this time is Liu Fan. Because of the popularity of intelligent education, everyone has changed careers. So in the face of this phenomenon, Liu Fan is ready to do something. It is: the driverless online car-hailing platform!
However, although there is a shortage of supply, there are still a lot of employees in this industry. Therefore, Liu Fan still cannot accurately predict what consequences will be caused by the introduction of self-driving online car booking, but the changes in various industries in the intelligent era are bound to go. Doing such pains is inevitable.
What Liu Fan or more entrepreneurs can do is just to find a more reasonable time and make a relatively more balanced measure. For example, according to the current situation of consumers taking a taxi, it is almost time to take a shot, and they ca n’t wait until each time they take a taxi. Wait for 12 hours. By that time, the protection of consumers' rights and interests was also a problem.
Coupled with the analysis of the turnover rate in the recent period, Liu Fan feels that this time is indeed possible, because you have to roll out a self-driving network around the country for a few years. It is impossible to achieve this. The driver has changed jobs. Is it not enough for the remaining people to buffer for a few years?
Three days later, when the external dispute over Mulong Technology's ban on entry was getting more and more fierce, Mulong Technology held a press conference.
As soon as Liu Fan came to power, he felt the enthusiasm and madness of the audience. After all, at this time, he was on the cusp of global public opinion.
Liu Fan made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet. "I chose to develop the conference at this time. I saw a lot of netizens leaving messages saying whether they wanted to talk about Mulong Technology's ban on entry. Let me make it clear first, no, that thing. I don't think it's really necessary to say more. I believe that as long as people with normal judgment can tell right or wrong, as for people who pretend to sleep, they can't wake up anyway, so don't call them. "
"Papapapapap." A simple sentence, however, caused applause at the scene.
Liu Fan bowed to express his gratitude, and then continued, "What I want to tell you today is what we announced in advance, unmanned data reports and new applications.
First of all, let ’s look at the big screen. I have a very proud number to share with you. From the first self-driving vehicle that took our Mulong technology to the road, to this day, Mulong Technology ’s autonomous driving accidents The rate is still 0!
Safety issues have always been a dark cloud over the driverless industry. It is worth encouraging that our driverless technology has delivered a full score so far.
In addition to sharing a number with you, it is also a number that can further prove our strength from the side, that is, sales. As of yesterday, the sales of domestic cars equipped with Mulong technology's driverless technology exceeded 5 million. It sounds as if it does not seem to be too much. Then let's look at another number, the predetermined amount is 27.82 million! "
Why the sales volume is not even a fraction of the predetermined amount, everyone in the industry understands that this is a capacity issue. Building a car is not a printed book, which is so easy to quickly increase production capacity in a short time. It is not easy to deliver 5 million vehicles in such a short time.
"Finally, there is another piece of data that you can look at. This will be related to what we are going to talk about. As of yesterday, more than 65% of the cities in the country that have approved self-driving cars have been on the road. The range of road sections exceeds 80%.
This laid a good foundation for our main event today. "
Liu Fan turned around, and a few big characters appeared on the screen: driverless car booking.
"Kaka Kaka Kaka." The reporter at the scene was busy.
"Actually, the concept of driverless online car hire was mentioned when we first talked about driverless, but to implement it, we need a large amount of historical driving data as a basis, historical safety data as a guarantee, and various places. The policy guarantees, of course, one more point, the solution to the laid-off problem.
Now, I think that everything is ready. It's time to officially launch a self-driving car booking service. The specific operation is very simple, and there is not much difference from the traditional taxi. You can watch the video we made. "
The video shows the taxiing process, download the corresponding APP, and enter the address to call the car. The unmanned online car booking nearby will automatically take orders and pick up guests. The process is really simple.
A few important points were mentioned in the middle. The first is the in-vehicle monitoring. This aspect is to protect the user. On the one hand, it is also to supervise the user. If the user has some unfriendly behavior, he will be blacklisted and even assume legal responsibility. .
Then it also introduced the intelligent dispatching capability. These cars will predict where the demand is high and where the demand is low, and then make corresponding measures when the car is empty. However, many functions of this intelligent dispatch may not be available for the time being, because the front-end car is definitely Supply is in short supply, and the problem of capacity lies there.
The video also introduces safety issues ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The safety guarantee for users is not only the vehicle itself, but also, for example, the user's route must pass through some remote areas. The vehicle will feedback information and mark it as a key protection object. If something goes wrong on the road, the system will give an alarm as soon as possible to increase the probability of being rescued.
After the video was finished, Liu Fan mentioned, "This is probably the way to use it and some of our features and guarantees, but there is one thing I want to say sorry to you, that is the price, our price will be more than traditional Taxi is more expensive.
And we will not have too many preferential activities, because the price of our vehicles is there, we are not just a platform, the cars are all bought by us, including the loss of the vehicle, maintenance costs, labor costs We all have to bear it ourselves. We at Mulong Technology have always adhered to inclusive benefits, but the premise of our inclusive benefits is not to lose money as much as possible. I hope everyone can understand that you can look at the specific price after it is online. It can only be said that it will definitely be a bit expensive, but it will not be too expensive. "
The price problem actually balances the impact on traditional online taxis and taxis to a certain extent. After all, their prices are cheap, which is an advantage.
"Finally, I would like to announce that, due to vehicle restrictions and experimental needs, there are only five cities on the first batch of driverless online car appointments, namely Yanjing, Hushang, Hangcheng, Jinling, and Changan. The launch time will be tomorrow at noon. Two points. Stay tuned. "
At the end of the press conference, attentive netizens have discovered a detail and started to discuss it online. This time, the self-driving car-hailing platform of Mulong Technology is not working with others, but themselves. Yes, this app is called Mulong taxi.
How did Mulong Technology make its own platform? Netizens have questions ...
