Homo sapiens

Chapter 337 Brave New World ([-])
The 73-kilometer journey stopped at the Johor Electronics City, and then the train headed for Kampong City at full speed.

Homo sapiens' comprehensive urbanization strategy, to a certain extent, is of great help to the speed of trains, because there is no need to stop too many stations along the way.

After 46 minutes, the train arrived at Kampung City.

"Passengers, the train has arrived at Kampung City, please take your personal belongings with you."

With Zhao Jingcai's help, Chen Yanxiu's family got off the car smoothly, and then took the elevator back to the ground station.

Zhao Jingcai took a self-driving taxi and took Chen Yanxiu and his family to Building 204 in the southern district of Kampong City.

Looking at the orderly traffic flow on the street, Chen Yanxiu found that there were many traffic controllers with guns on the street here. He asked curiously:
"Jing Cai, the traffic control personnel here are still equipped with rifles? Is it because all the people have guns?"

Zhao Jingcai turned the steering wheel: "The gun is equipped because of the request of the Ministry of Internal Security. It is mainly to guard against foreign enemies, so that it is convenient to enter the wartime state at any time."

"As for guns for all, this is actually a misinformation. Only militiamen who have been certified and reviewed by the Ministry of Internal Security are eligible to buy firearms. Currently, there are about 1.5 million militiamen registered with the Ministry of Internal Security."

Hehe, Chen Yanxiu is powerless to complain about the population of Homo sapiens company. Even including the Dongba area and Mada Island, the population is only about 8 million.

The 1.5 million militia basically wiped out most of the young and middle-aged people.

In fact, 1.5 million militias means that there are 1.5 million new humans in Homo sapiens company, but the new employees like Chen Yanxiu don't know the connection.

When the car detects the traffic lights ahead, it will automatically slow down.

Chen Yanxiu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, also saw that Zhao Jingcai didn't seem to be operating much, and the car started to slow down by itself.

"Is this car self-driving?"

"No, it's assisted driving. It is mandatory to install, mainly to reduce traffic accidents. The department I work in is developing on-board auxiliary computers."

"Will there be a risk of losing control? Those car companies that engage in self-driving cars don't seem to have mature self-driving technology?"

Zhao Jingcai explained: "Don't worry! Our company's technology is very mature. In fact, I think it can be used for automatic driving directly. However, it seems that the headquarters has not approved automatic driving. All vehicles are still required to use only the assisted driving mode."

In this regard, Chen Yanxiu quite agrees with Homo sapiens' approach. After all, the current autonomous driving technology still has some shortcomings, and it is easy to arouse public concerns.

He talked about his thoughts: "Although the company's chip technology is powerful, automatic driving seems to require advanced on-board radar, right? I have seen that many car companies' tests are carried out in a very ideal environment. In the driving environment, it is difficult for the on-board computer to cope with all emergencies.”

"You're right, but our department has another solution."

"Eh?" Chen Yanxiu was at a loss: "How do you solve it?" Suddenly he reacted: "Hehe, if it involves confidentiality, then pretend I didn't ask."

The car stopped in front of the zebra crossing.

Zhao Jingcai replied with a smile: "There is no secret, even if you tell it, other car companies can't imitate it."

Now, Chen Yanxiu is also interested: "Oh? What is the method?"

"Have you got your smart bracelets?"

"Smart bracelet?" Chen Yanxiu raised his hand, revealing the black smart bracelet: "Is there any mystery in it?"

Zhao Jingcai explained: "All employee bracelets and mobile phones have their own positioning function, and all vehicles running inside also have their own positioning function. We use this positioning function to realize automatic driving."

"In other words, the company can determine the location of everyone through the bracelet and mobile phone?"

"Yes."

Chen Yanxiu suddenly thought of a question: "What if I forget to bring it? Or the bracelet and mobile phone are out of battery?"

"No, there is an automatic voice reminder device at the door of your residence. Once it detects that you are not carrying a mobile phone bracelet to go out, the system will automatically send out a voice reminder."

The car detects that the reading of the red light returns to zero, then starts the motor and continues to drive forward.

"As for the lack of power, the mobile phone bracelet will also automatically remind you, and the company is equipped with public chargers and shared charging treasures in various places. It is quite difficult for the mobile phone to run out of power."

"Even if there is no electricity and there is no power bank around, there is another solution, that is to walk with someone who has a bracelet and mobile phone, or simply walk on the sidewalk, and motor vehicles will not threaten you."

But Chen Yanxiu still has doubts: "If it is a disobedient child or the like who runs on the motorway without a wristband, wouldn't it be easy to have an accident?"

"That's why the company doesn't agree to promote automatic driving immediately!" Zhao Jingcai shrugged helplessly.

In fact, neither of them knew that Homo sapiens planned to use pheromone and magnetic field radar in the future to match autonomous driving.

Just because pheromone and magnetic field radar are kept secret at this stage, the autonomous driving project has been hidden.

Although Chen Yanxiu is a little worried about the reliability of automatic driving, he is still optimistic about this technology as an auxiliary driving system.

"This technology is a good solution in reducing traffic accidents."

"It goes without saying that at least speeding, drunk driving, fatigue driving, running a red light, overloading, and intentional dangerous driving are all directly killed by the assistance system."

Since Homo sapiens promoted assisted driving, traffic accidents in various places have dropped by 99%, leaving only a small number of traffic accidents caused by mechanical failures and wild animals.

Although some car owners complain that the assisted driving is too rigid, the company just wants the auxiliary system to be more rigid.

After all, there is a devil hidden in many people's hearts.

In many car accidents, there are countless accidents caused by the driver's emotional loss, especially those violent drivers with road rage.

Coupled with those female drivers who are prone to brain freezes, they are also high-risk groups of car accidents.

The existence of the auxiliary driving system is to reduce the human abnormal factors in the driving process.

Safety is the development direction that cars should pursue.

At present, the various automobile manufacturing subsidiaries of Homo sapiens have put a lot of effort into various safety measures.

For Homo sapiens, the life of every employee is actually the property of the company. In order to protect these properties that can continue to work for the company, it is also a reasonable strategy to specialize in some safe cars.

With the assisted driving system, Zhao Jingcai dared to chat while driving.

After 10 minutes, the car arrived at the destination.

Zhao Jingcai got out of the car, picked up the suitcase, and pointed to a residential building not far away: "Here, the building next to the crocodile statue in front is yours."

Chen Yanxiu glanced around and found that the buildings here all looked the same. Fortunately, there were neon signs with numbers hanging above the buildings.

Moreover, at the entrance of each residential building, there will be a statue of an animal, and some different fruit trees will be planted around it, so that residents can find their way.

Liu Meizhu, holding her little daughter, came to the bronze statue of the Malayan crocodile. After posing, she took a selfie.

"Let's go, I have to buy daily necessities later." Chen Yanxiu pulled his son and walked to the gate of the residential building with Zhao Jingcai.
