Chapter 1411: Indeed Improving Driving Skills!

Of course, the new Passat would be tested by IIS. At the moment, the rice version had already produced a collision result. It was perfect, and the domestic results were said to be out in the next two days.

Of course, the configurations of the same car type in different areas would also be different. Many joint car models in the country would be worse than the rice and European versions. This was a very common phenomenon. They would be scolded badly when they were released.

He was no longer surprised by things like steel being replaced with artificial intelligence.

However, many consumers were still willing to believe in Passat because the brand had a good reputation in the country in recent years. What’s more, everyone felt that it would not be able to reduce to the level of performance in the game even if it was reduced.

Was a human capable of not taking an air bag or face?

Those who supported Passat and those who supported Safe and Civilized Driving were arguing online.

Of course, apart from these quarrels, there were other more valuable posts.

For example, someone had selflessly tested a few entry-level car models for everyone to refer to.

The one with the best results was actually a domestically-produced electric car. The model was HF6’s SUV. Even though it was more than 50,000 yuan more expensive than the Passat, the safety of the test in the game was much better than the Passat.

What’s more, this HF6 has already been tested by IIS. The results were indeed close to perfect. It was very similar to the results in the game.

Many other similarly-priced cars actually had such problems.

Of course, this result also caused a lot of controversy. Some people suspected that the Development Team of Safe and Civilized Driving had taken the money from this domestic new energy car manufacturer.

This payment might be done in a more subtle manner: I’ll show your car truthfully and not exaggerate, but I’ll make the premium cars at the same level as you. Wouldn’t that highlight you?

What’s more, it would be less dangerous to do so. It would not be easily noticeable.

It was not surprising for him to have such doubts after combining his exaggerated reaction to the Passat.

It would be fine if the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was more difficult, but it would be a huge stain if they were to collect money and discredit car brands.

Zhang Yan read the relevant discussions online and did not participate.

After all, the facts were not clear yet. The results of many collusion car models had not been released. It did not mean that ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was just criticizing it.

What if ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was not working with car manufacturers but with IIAS?

What if he made adjustments to the car in the game after obtaining the internal collision data of IIAS?

That was hard to say. After all, Slow Movement Studio’s’ Real Estate Agent Simulator ‘had already started the’ Real Estate Service Department ‘. It was not strange for Shang Yang Games to do’ Safe and Civilized Driving ‘to link with reality.

After resting, Zhang Yan returned to the game.

She had learned her lesson this time. She chose the HF6 as her new car and was much more careful on the way.

After running a few more errands, she suddenly wanted to try driving a huge truck.

She had never tried it!

That was because she had also driven sedans and SUVs in reality. That was what happened in games. There was not much novelty and fun. She was just earning money.

However, if she wanted to make money, it would obviously be more profitable to run long distance passenger transport or goods!

At that thought, Zhang Yan perked up again and began to prepare for the new exam.

Initially, she had already gotten a driver’s license for a small car in the game. It shouldn’t be that difficult to get a driver’s license for a large car, right?

However, she realized that that was not the case.

It was much more difficult!

The passenger car had to ferry customers and take responsibility for the lives of the passengers. Thus, the examination project was far more difficult than the domestic car. It was even more difficult for the large van because the half hanging car’s head and body were not one and the same. Instead, they were connected. The difficulty of pouring the car was simply sky high!

Zhang Yan had tried many times, but the fall into the warehouse had dissuaded her. That was because the car behind her was not moving as she had imagined. All the skills she had used to fall into the warehouse were useless!

There were even a few times when she drove the car in the shape of “What’s wrong with you, little brother”. The front of the car and the back of the car were at a 60-degree angle, completely stuck.

“It’s too difficult! Is this even operable by humans?!”

Zhang Yan began to doubt her life.

After trying for nearly an hour and failing all of them, Zhang Yan exited the game angrily.

However, after quitting, she quietly searched for teaching videos on the Big van driver’s license test online and began to learn.

Even though failure would make people feel very defeated, the sense of achievement once they succeed was incomparable.

Zhang Yan felt that she was already very skilled. There should be hope if she worked harder.

What’s more, after calming down, she realized a problem. Safe and Civilized Driving was indeed very helpful in improving driving skills compared to other racing games.

Could other games improve driving skills? Of course, they could as well.

However, these games seemed to have some obvious shortcomings.

There was no need to talk about some racing games that were purely for fun. Basically, they were not realistic. Even if they used the steering wheel to play, they would at most train their control of the direction.

Some specialized racing simulators could improve driving skills. Many professional drivers also conducted daily training in these games. However, the biggest problem with these games was that the threshold was too high and the difficulty curve was too smooth.

How many newbies could not make it out of the competition right from the start, much less pursue time and ranking?

In some tug-of-war games, it was a question of whether newbies could complete the entire process before the car completely broke down.

These games basically had no teachings. Even the most basic routes, drifting, and other operations had to be learnt by players online. It was really unfriendly to newbies.

Some driving simulators were equipped with very complete auxiliary driving systems that could automatically help you brake, turn, and so on, giving you the illusion that “I drive well”.

However, the problem was that not only would the auxiliary driving system not improve your driving skills, but it would also make you reliant on it and develop wrong driving habits.

On the other hand, a huge advantage of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was that it used this restriction method to build up the difficulty level for players.

The process of getting a driver’s license was actually the process of a newbie teaching.

Players might feel very impatient at first and would really want to skip the testing driver’s license step and drive directly.

However, if players were to really drive on the road, what would happen?

They would go on a rampage and destroy the car. They would also quickly lose interest in the game.

That was because ‘zero accidents’ was the core fun of the game.

This was similar to a torturous game like Repent and be Saved. If players really allowed players to cut grass all the way, players would quickly lose interest. However, if they increased the difficulty of the game and forced players to train their skills, even though they would dissuade many players in the beginning, once they played it, the joy of such technological improvement would be much better than cutting grass!

After taking the driver’s license, most players would have a certain level of confidence in their driving skills. That way, they would be able to integrate into the game smoothly.

Next was earning money, changing cars, and pursuing higher driving skills.

At the moment, Zhang Yan could already earn money by running for rides steadily. However, she knew very well that there was no upper limit to the game.

If you were tired of driving online, you would have to apply for a driver’s license, right? Driving heavy trucks to pull goods would be much more difficult than running online cars. There would be at least a hundred hours to play.

After getting tired of long distance cars and huge trucks, there would be venue competitions and tug-of-war. There would be no upper limit to this thing.

What’s more, the venue competition and tug-of-war in ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was different from other driving simulators.

Other driving simulators did not have enough foreshadowing. It would be too unfriendly for newbies to run on their own.

On the other hand, ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was different. After hundreds of hours of training in the beginning, the basic driving skills were already very strong. At this time, using the newbie tutorial to let players familiarize themselves with the basic operations such as walking lines, drifting, and so on, it would be much easier to drift around the training ground for a fixed circle or eight words, and then run the venue competition or tug-of-war.

At the very least, there would not be a situation where the car broke down and did not complete the journey.

Simply put, through a lot of restrictions in the early stages of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’, it forcefully smoothened out the difficulty curve of the driving game. That allowed players to experience a huge improvement in the game experience after they really played it!

This was especially so for gamers with a set of steering wheels. Once they played it, they would not be able to stop.

Zhang Yan secretly made up her mind. She would work as hard as she could tomorrow to get the driver’s license of the truck!

January 18th, Friday…

Ye Zhizhou came to Bunny Tail Live-Stream and saw the long-lost Hu Xianbin.

The two good comrades from the first episode of the torturous trip met again. For some reason, they felt sad.

“The functions that you wanted have been completed. Don’t worry, we will definitely not favor one over the other!” Hu Xianbin was very happy.

The two of them came to the entertainment room. There were two safe and civilized driving simulators here. They were both luxurious combo meals with exactly the same configurations.

Both of them took their seats and put on their seatbelts.

After that, Hu Xianbin began to drive. Ye Zhizhou placed his hands under his car, not touching the steering wheel at all.

Hu Xianbin’s driving skills were not very good, so he only drove casually in the city.

The function they were testing had nothing to do with driving skills: While Hu Xianbin was driving, the steering wheel in front of Ye Zhizhou was also turning!

In addition, in the corner of the screen in front of Ye Zhizhou, Hu Xianbin was stepping on the accelerator and the brake pedals, changing the controls, and so on..
