My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key

When Lao Wang landed in Bincheng, he naturally received a grand welcome from He Xiaojun.

He even saw Mr. Yu who came to pick up the plane together, which made him feel very strange.

Old Yu is a very important boss in Warwick. He doesn't talk about daily affairs, but his schedule is accurate to 15 minutes.

This guy can be said to spend most of his time in the sky every day, and sometimes he often has to fly to several cities a day to catch up.

But he didn't expect that this guy would stay in Bincheng for three days this time.

On the earliest day, this guy called himself and said that there was a Xinghuo company in Bincheng that was very promising, so he asked him to take a look.

It was also out of his trust in his partners and his infinite association with the Spark Company and the team behind the Ninth Lab that Lao Wang sent Xiao Wang to bring people over to have a look.

Unexpectedly, after seeing this, there was indeed a surprise. Not only were the problems of the battery charger and the sensor switch that had been bothering them solved, but Xiao Wang even discovered an epoch-making sensor here.

So on the day Xiao Wang reported to him, Lao Wang flew from Pengcheng to Bincheng in the afternoon.

He didn't feel anything about He Xiaojun's warm welcome, but seeing Mr. Yu stayed here for three days without leaving, it made him even more strange.

Because it was getting late and it was inconvenient to go to Xinghuo Company, they went to the hotel first.

The place where Pharaoh stayed today was also the Pennilla Peninsula Hotel, and he went there in the same car as Mr. Yu.

"What? Is this company really special?"

In the car, Lao Wang couldn't help but ask Mr. Yu.

After all, they are close partners, and the company is in the same city, so they have dealt with each other many times.

And He Xiaojun of the Ninth Laboratory and him are just acquaintances. As for the CEO of Xinghuo Company, a foreigner who can speak fluent Chinese, Lao Wang doesn't trust him.

After all, the contact time is still too short, although Xiao Wang has repeatedly emphasized to him that this company is amazing when he came here.

But Old Wang still felt that it would be more reliable to ask himself about this matter.

And the answer given by Mr. Yu is also quite straightforward: "It's very special. If I read correctly, this will be another giant that is about to rise."

"Is it really that powerful?"

Mr. Wang raised his eyebrows,

Mr. Yu chuckled: "You will know after you go to see their products tomorrow."

"Then why haven't you left yet? As far as I know, it seems that there shouldn't be anything else you're interested in coming out of the Spark Factory, right?"

Lao Wang asked tentatively, but he only got one answer from Mr. Yu, which was two words: Hehe.

The next morning, Lao Wang got up early, accompanied by Xiao Wang and the company's technical staff, had breakfast at the hotel, and went straight to the Xinghuo factory in the bonded area.

As soon as they arrived at the factory, they were immediately overwhelmed by the feeding robots walking in the factory.

It was a yellow tracked robot with two small tracks under its feet, and its upper body was like a big square box with two mechanical arms on it.

On the top of the head is a head that resembles a binoculars, and two mechanical arms are pulling a large cargo box backwards.

The cargo box is full of all kinds of industrial waste.

The robot pulled the truckload of waste out of the factory building and headed straight for the waste recycling center in the distance.

Then there are several same robots on the other side, pulling the same boxes, entering the factory area, sending them to the feeding port of the production line inside, and then dumping them in.

During the whole process, few workers could be seen on the ground at all.

Although this picture is very simple, it is very visually impactful, and it has already made Lao Wang look stupid.

The content of this screen is very simple, we can often see it in animation, but in the real world, it seems that Xinghuo is the only factory in the world that can truly achieve such automation.

"What you said was..."

Lao Wang is an expert after all, he pointed to the telescope-like head above the robot in front and said.

"That's right, Mr. Wang, that telescope-like guy is the millimeter-wave radar integrated camera sensor I was talking about!"

Mr. Wang is very polite when there are many people, and he will call his father Mr. Wang.

As an expert, Mr. Wang looked at those robots, dragging the cargo boxes, walking back and forth on the road, and could turn, fast forward, and brake freely.

The most important thing is that they will also avoid various obstacles, and formulate their travel route early on based on the distance of the obstacles in front.

If you encounter a robot driving from the opposite side, you will stop to give way, or make a detour...

Mr. Wang and his team stood there for more than half an hour, watching those robots carrying work back and forth.

The content may seem boring, but it has set off waves of turmoil in Lao Wang's heart.

Because he makes electric cars, he understands why Tesla is better than them.

For example, Tesla's current Autopilot automatic driving system is a master of software and hardware in the field of intelligent driving.

Let's not talk about artificial intelligence in software.

Just talk about the hardware used in it, the most important thing is the sensor of the perception system of intelligent driving.

Previously, in the field of perception systems, there were two sets of solutions.

One set is a vision-led solution represented by Tesla.

The other set is the lidar-led solution represented by Google.

Both options have pros and cons.

Tesla's plan is to use the camera as the mainstay, cooperate with millimeter radar, ultrasonic radar, and low-cost lidar to form a hardware perception system.

Google's solution is dominated by lidar, with millimeter radar, ultrasonic sensors, and cameras.

The advantage of Google's solution lies in the detection accuracy and distance of lidar, and it can actively scan the surrounding situation of the vehicle, which belongs to active vision.

Even at night, it can accurately cross obstacles to ensure the safety of vehicles.

But the disadvantage is that the cost is very expensive. The cost of a lidar is 20,000 yuan, while the cost of the camera is only 2,000 yuan. In addition, the volume of the lidar is very large, which will affect the shape design of the vehicle, and it will also face serious problems such as heat generation.

As for Tesla's solution, which uses cameras as the mainstay, and then uses artificial intelligence to recognize images, this presumably Google's solution is much simpler.

The most important thing is that the cost is very cheap, which is also the main reason why Tesla's smart driving solution can finally kill Google, which got involved in the smart driving field earlier than them.

However, this solution also has its own obvious weaknesses, that is, the camera's range-finding capability is limited, and it is also greatly affected by ambient light.

For example, bad weather such as windy days, cloudy days, rainstorm days, hail days, etc. will seriously affect the imaging capability of the camera.

Thus affecting the ECU's judgment on the external environment of the vehicle.

Therefore, Tesla has spent a lot of money on the photosensitive chip of the camera and the algorithm of imaging recognition, and even launched a long-term cooperation with the world's largest graphics card company.

Let the company design a set of graphics cards for them...

And this is also where other car companies, after engaging in intelligent driving, were opened up by Tesla.

Because no other company can find such awesome sensors and imaging hardware.

And now they see this set of millimeter-wave radar integrated camera sensor in Xinghuo Technology, which is simply an advanced version of Tesla's hardware!

After watching the working situation of the robot, the group was quickly invited into the meeting room by Mr. Hu, the CTO of Spark Company.

Then He Xiaojun stood up, first set the line between Xinghuo and Mr. Wang, and the top leaders of the two sides got to know each other formally.

Then Mr. Wang went straight to the point and asked Xinghuo to introduce their millimeter-wave radar integrated camera sensor.

Mr. Hu, the CTO of Spark Technology, personally explained to Lao Wang and the others.

It turns out that the imaging principle of this set of sensors is that a set of millimeter-wave radar equipment is integrated in the camera.

This not only greatly improves the problem of camera ranging, but also greatly improves the accuracy of camera imaging.

Because millimeter-wave radar has the characteristics of long range and strong penetrating power, although it is slightly inferior to lidar, it can greatly assist in improving the accuracy of camera imaging.

In the background, there is also a set of algorithms that can provide calculations in the background based on the obstacles detected by the millimeter-wave radar and the images of the objects captured by the camera to restore the characteristics of the object.

For example, at a distance of 150 meters, it is difficult for the camera to see what the object driving in the distance is, only a moving black spot can be seen.

However, the receiving system of the millimeter-wave radar can judge which black spot is an active vehicle or a person based on the feedback data of the millimeter-wave radar.

They can even measure the mass of an object, which requires the accuracy of millimeter-wave radar to be very high, and the background algorithm is very good, so it can be done precisely.

But people really did it.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, in their factory area, the moving performances made by those robots, Lao Wang felt that he was beaten to death, and he would not have believed it.

After all, he has lived in Pengcheng, which is known as the most technologically advanced city in country H, for a long time, but in that city, which claims to be the most innovative, he has never heard of any company that has produced such a set of hardware.

What's more, this is an enterprise in Bincheng?

However, this can be regarded as confirming the speculation that Mr. Yu and he had said before. Mr. Yu said that this company is likely to be inextricably linked with the scientific research team behind the Ninth Laboratory.

Now it seems that it should be right, otherwise, with the level of the domestic scientific research team, it would definitely not be able to produce such an awesome device.

After repeatedly confirming the capabilities of this system, Lao Wang made a decision on the spot to cooperate with BYD and Xinghuo Technology...
