At first, everything was normal.
There were indeed automatic driving options in the car, but they could only be activated after the car reached the public road.
Zhang Yan did not pay much attention to it. She drove to the public road as usual and accepted the online appointment.
After that, on the way to pick up the passengers, she switched on the automatic driver. She placed his right foot on the brake, palms up, and hung naturally on her knees.She was less than two centimeters away from the steering wheel, ready to take over the car.
The official platform only said that this was an L2 automatic driving machine after all. No one dared to guarantee whether this thing was reliable or not.
This might be a game, not reality, and they would only spend game coins to fix it if they really bumped into each other. Even if they killed each other, they would only find another sister. However, Zhang Yan had already formed a habit of zero accidents throughout the long game.
She had tried her best to avoid all sorts of small clashes even she was racing. How could she go against that policy when it came to city roads? That would definitely not do. She could not let her reputation be ruined by this car!
The situation was more normal after the top laner.
The car was going very smoothly according to the navigation route. It would stop when they saw a red light. It would also pay attention to whether there were passers-by when they made the right turn. It was also very flexible, smart, and safe.
Not only that, the car’s navigation was also better than other cars in the game.
On the premise that the instrument panel was retained, K1 carried a relatively large car carrier display. There were two screens on it. The left side was the detection of the road situation of the car, including cars in front, passers-by on the roadside, and so on. It would be displayed in real time. The right side was the current navigation route. It was very clear.
The steering wheel of the safe and civilized driving simulator would turn with every car turn. Zhang Yan did not need to do anything. She just had to stare at the screen and pay attention to the surrounding car.
This driving experience was rather magical to Zhang Yan.
Of course, it could also be because there were fewer pedestrians and cars on this road. The car situation was not that complicated, so it was going smoothly.
The first order was completed very quickly. Customers were successfully sent to their destination.
“This automatic driving is a little powerful? I don’t think it can achieve this level of automatic driving in reality, right? It has been driving for so long, and there is no need for manual intervention at all?”
In fact, Zhang Yan was already prepared to take over at any time. However, the actual automatic driving experience of this car was a little beyond her imagination.
“It’s no wonder that everyone says that this car’s automatic driving is a little ridiculous. However, that’s not its limit. We can still find a more complicated place.”
“Hmm… let’s go to the Tengda experience shop in the game!”
There were a few places in the game where there was a lot of traffic and traffic. It was near Tengda experience shop. That was because there were two huge shopping malls here, a subway entrance, GOG’s competition venue, and the biggest Tengda experience shop in the country.
They might have created a miniaturized Jingzhou City in the game but these key landmarks would definitely be displayed perfectly.
This time, Zhang Yan did not accept the order. That was because she might not be able to receive the order that happened to be there. Thus, she made a trip on her own. In any case, the car was made of electricity. The electric bill in the game was very cheap.
Soon, Zhang Yan drove K1, oh no, K1 drove itself and Zhang Yan to the destination according to the navigation.
The road conditions here were indeed complicated. Especially at the crossings, there would often be pedestrians walking randomly on both sides of the road. There was even a pedestrians playing with their cell phones as they walked forward, closing in on the cars driving.
Of course, she did not court death by sticking his head out. Instead, she turned back in time. However, K1 still detected it in time and quickly reduced the speed of the car while giving the driver a warning to avoid an accident.
Zhang Yan broke out in cold sweat even though this person did not really run in front of the car.
“This car also handles complicated road conditions very well. It’s even better than human drivers in certain aspects? That’s indeed quite ridiculous!”
Zhang Yan finally understood why the bullet screen comments were saying how awesome this car was.
That was because it completely relied on itself to pass a very complicated road segment. Nothing happened even if there were people and cars mixed together. Those who could pass would pass normally. There would be no slow tortoise climbing. Those who could not pass would park and wait patiently. If there were passers-by who suddenly rushed out from the side, they would be able to detect it in time and reduce the speed of the car to avoid danger.
Of course, the car itself had given several hints, reminding the driver to concentrate on the complicated road situation and suggested taking over. However, Zhang Yan did not take over, and the car continued to drive normally.
In emergency situations, such as when a ghost poked its head out, the reaction speed of this car even surpassed that of a human driver. After all, human drivers had a visual blind spot, and the car had a camera and a laser radar. It could be seen more clearly.
The car’s screen had already been displayed on it when the passers-by were still in the blind spot of Zhang Yan’s vision. It was also marked with red, reminding them to avoid it.
Of course, the automatic driving of this car was not particularly perfect. In Zhang Yan’s opinion, there was still some gap between it and human drivers, especially old drivers.
For example, it was not very fast. It was certain that it would not exceed the limit. However, sometimes, if the road situation was not clear, it would lower its speed slightly. It would not be as slow as a tortoise, but it would also be slower than the old driver. This way, the time after running the same distance would become longer, but the advantage was that it would not reduce its speed frequently.
He would not be able to experience it in the game. However, in reality, this would obviously bring him a better riding experience. He would not be easily dizzy.
In addition, its compliance with the traffic rules would be a little too stable. There was no need to talk about things like giving way to the right path and letting the other party go first. Some places could obviously be plugged, but it did not add it. It did not increase its speed when it was plugged. Instead, it slowed down and let the other party add it. This caused time to become longer when passing through some blocked roads.
However, he could not be blamed for this. That was because many old drivers’ behavior of ‘saving time’ was in itself uncivilized.
Not allowing others to stuff themselves could indeed make them faster when they were stuck in a traffic jam. However, the problem was that on one hand, it would increase the probability of accidents. On the other hand, it would also play the role of bad money expelling good money, making the roads in the city more chaotic.
If everyone did not stuff themselves, the road conditions in the city would definitely improve. However, if you did not stuff yourself when others did, or if you gave in when others did, the final outcome might be that others might rush to the front but you were stuck in place.
It was just like queueing. If others cut in line, it would be very difficult for you to not cut in line.
When she was being stuffed by others, Zhang Yan was not anxious? Of course, she was.
Sje had to say that the cars in the game were quite smart. They made all sorts of complicated road conditions, including the drivers who were adding stuff randomly. Obviously, this was to increase the difficulty of the players on the road and maximize its authenticity.
Therefore, when they encountered a plug in the game, many players would speed up and not let it pass when they were angry. They would even flip it. In any case, the other party would be responsible.
In reality, she was afraid of getting into an accident and did not want to fix a car. However, she could not care so much in the game. She could not let this happen!
However, Zhang Yan did not do that because she realized that the AEEIS in the car system would comfort her!
“AEEIS decided to give way. After all, he’s in a hurry to reincarnate.”
“Every driver has the same number of times they plug in. Whoever finishes first should leave first. Seeing how eager he is, AEEIS decided to give up.”
“Even though he should give way directly when making a turn, and he did not give way to AEEIS, it doesn’t matter. There will be a time when his turn will become a side collision or a 25% deviation collision.”
Zhang Yan was quite angry when her path was blocked and snatched. However, after hearing AEEIS, she was not angry anymore. Instead, she wanted to laugh!
This was a little like when the driver was driving. It was inevitable that there would be road rage and want to curse at the stupid driver. However, if the co-pilot cleverly dissed him at this time, the driver’s anger would naturally quickly subside.
AEEIS was not scolding angrily, but gracefully. The effect was better.
In addition, this car was actually driving automatically. It gave people the feeling that AEEIS was talking about monologue while driving, making Zhang Yan feel especially interesting.
“This AEEIS voice package is awesome! I think we should install one in every car in the future. It can effectively reduce road rage.”
“Yes, the test is over. I can go back and continue working.”
“I’ll drive it myself. I haven’t driven a car in a long time. Hurry up and leave the downtown area to collect the bill to earn money.”
Zhang Yan gently stepped on the brake, took over the car, and prepared to drive out of the downtown area.
The logic of automatic driving was that gently braking or moving in the direction would be equivalent to taking over. However, lightening the accelerator would not count. Heavy stepping on the accelerator would count.
K1’s automatic driving could also deal with complicated road conditions, but it was too important for safety after all. It would be slower to drive. It would be too slow to earn money by opening internet cafes and cars in this place. It was better to take orders at places with better road conditions, run a longer distance, and earn more money faster.
What’s more, the automatic driving had been driving for so long. Zhang Yan had not had the time to test the performance of this car.
He stepped on the accelerator. Go!
Zhang Yan was now a true veteran driver. Even though she would not drive the racing track on the city road, she was still very good at regular operations of experienced drivers, such as plugs.
AEEIS was still navigating normally at first. However, as it opened, Zhang Yan suddenly realized that something was amiss.
“Please maintain the distance between the cars. You’re just one step away from the accelerator to send you off with the car.”
“Now, you’re only one step away from a full time pursuit.. AEEIS thinks that you should have a clear estimate of the driving level of human drivers and reduce the standards appropriately.”
