Chapter 766： ['The Shining' Chip]

"It's better to report from the most basic core computing power..."

The technical director of the project immediately took out a motherboard hardware to show it to the leaders of Luo Sheng and Ding Ping, and said: "This is our finalized chip, code-named'The Shining', which is optimized for AI scenarios by our project team. This is a development motherboard designed based on this chip."

Luo Shengyan asked concisely: "What is the computing performance?"

The technical director immediately replied: "The motherboard is equipped with two'Shining' chips and two independent GPUs, which can provide up to 450 trillion floating-point computing performance. It can be said that even L4 and L5 fully automated driving technology are supported. There is also no pressure."

In contrast, the floating-point computing performance that Nvidia's development board can provide is only 3 trillion operations per second, while the former overlord of automotive chips, Mobileye, which specializes in computer vision chips, was acquired by Intel for more than $15 billion. Their EyeQ5 chip can only provide 40 trillion floating-point operations per second.

Compared with the "Shining" of the Côte d'Azur Laboratory, it is not at the same level. No wonder the director of the technical department of this project said that it has an absolute technological lead.

After all, I have been studying for 12 years.

Luo Sheng: "Where is the test car?"

Technical Director: "In the test workshop."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng stood up and said: "Go, go and see."

The technical director put aside the motherboard chip in his hand and immediately led Luo Sheng and Ding Ping to the testing workshop.

Luo Sheng explained as he walked: “In terms of fully automatic driverless driving, it is crucial to provide sufficient computing power for the perception and decision-making of artificial intelligence. As one of the hottest AI application scenarios, the field of autonomous driving is welcoming In an unprecedented period of technological dividends, we must be prepared to take off at any time when the wind blows."

The accompanying technical director nodded: "Understood."

Within a few minutes, Luo Sheng and others came to the testing workshop. There were 20 engineers and employees working here. The space was large and it was rather messy. Various tools were scattered around.

There are also some quilts and pillows on the floor, some empty happy water bottles, and some lunch boxes are still on the side.

Luo Sheng said in a circle: "What kind of plane? You eat, drink and sleep in this workshop with you? People who don't know think I am a black-hearted boss squeezing employees, so I won't be hafnium."

Seeing a young engineer looking over with a tool, with a spray-painted face on his face, Luo Sheng, who looked at him, shook his head in tears.

"Boss, don't worry, it's all voluntary. We are all technical houses and singles. We have no other hobbies except for technology... It's just a little messy, hehe~~"

Luo Sheng said solemnly: "Don't come to this set, I won't give you processing money, you will be bailed out by yourself."

"You don't need to increase your salary, but... Boss, I have a suggestion."

"What proposal?"

"Can you arrange for us a big white robot to come and do some sanitation..."

"...Alright, it's arranged."

This is just a small episode. The developers really like the free atmosphere of the Côte d'Azur Lab. There are not so many boxes. Under the principle of guaranteeing the principles, the developers are given the freedom to choose their favorite working methods as much as possible.

The technical director of the project department found an employee and gave a few instructions. After a while, a prototype car drove automatically in front of Luo Sheng and others.

"Mr. Luo, that's it. A customizable multi-seat multi-functional fully automatic driving unmanned electric car with multiple functions such as hotels, dining cars, logistics and mobile hospitals."

"Its functional design is integrated with our autonomous driving platform, and it can be operated through the smart phone APP. Of course, it can also be authorized to Dabai. Just ask Dabai. However, the team is still under development. Currently, Dabai hosting is not supported. ."

At this moment, Luo Sheng and others are looking at the prototype car parked in front of them. From the appearance, it adopts a very sci-fi design style. The white car shell is matched with a large area of ​​glass. It uses a van. Like a piece of white bread.

A little cute van, but the design is very futuristic, and there is no such thing as the front and rear, because it is fully electric and driverless.

Luo Sheng entered the car and took a look. Ding Ping who followed up looked around and couldn't help but nodded: "Whether it is the color matching, the floor, the interior decoration, the seats, etc., they are quite humane."

The accompanying technical director laughed and said: "This concept car should be called a'multifunctional electric chassis with fully automatic driving capability', because we designed the main function of this car to replace the cabin connected to the chassis. That’s why it was designed as a van structure in order to be able to exchange carriages with different functions to achieve functional changes."

Luo Sheng said: "For example?"

He did not understand, because he did not participate in the design and development of this driverless car, but the key technology is inseparable from Luo Sheng, which is the application of the core artificial intelligence technology.

The technical director introduced one by one:

"For example, if you put a shelf bay on it, then it will be a mobile unmanned vending machine; if you install a business cabin, then this is a mobile office space; if you install an empty cabin, then this is an unmanned freight car. Small trucks can act as mobile catering trucks, quick delivery trucks, etc..."

"The length of the body can be adjusted from 5 meters to 8 meters, and the tires can also be arranged in 4 or 8 according to the actual situation."

At this moment, Luo Sheng's carriage is a special travel compartment with 7 seats. If you add standing space, you can take more than 20 people.

Luo Sheng is sitting in the side seat, next to a console panel, you can manually plan the route, you can also input voice, and you can complete it through the mobile APP.

"Ok……"

Luo Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "Very good design. For most people, their lives are connected by different'scenes', such as their own apartment, company office, restaurant or convenience store downstairs. , Small parks or gyms near home, restaurants or shopping malls for weekend gatherings, and nearby movie theaters or bars, etc..."

"The connection to these'scenes' is often a car, but it is not so much a car as a mobile platform. In the future, a car, in addition to the'transporter' and the'transportation', may also be able to'transport the scene'. Right. Not bad, this driverless car and Dabai have this huge linkage effect."

Luck scene?

What the big BOSS said is compelling It's worthy of being a big technology guy. It's obviously the case. Changing a noun will make it inexplicable.

Luo Sheng repeatedly nodded and praised: "Um...standardized, customizable, personalized, multi-functional. Bringing clean, interconnected, safe and energy-saving mobile travel to consumers and enterprises, which can meet various travel and transportation needs . Yes, very good, remember that the cost of the cabin should be reduced, as much as possible, so that customers can customize more styles of personalized cabins, which fully reflects its competitive advantage."

"Imagine that when you get in the car, it will ask you what riding and driving style do you like? What kind of sound effects do you need? Maybe everyone buys the same car, but you can customize completely different services, resulting in different You can change the style at any time."

"Some are racing and fighting style, some are comfortable style of presidential car, some can be their own shopping basket, and some can be their own private kitchen, etc., but all of these are based on accurate mastery and application of customer data. Star Technology has data, which can provide support. The future of the car may be based on this model to rebuild a new ecosystem and a new lifestyle."
