The news that Xingyuan’s special effects team signed a contract with Marvel to be responsible for the special effects production of Avengers 3 and 4 has spread like wildfire.

For a while, Xingyuan Entertainment's phone numbers were inundated with calls from domestic and foreign film companies. They all wanted to cooperate with Xingyuan's special effects team.

Being able to do special effects for Avengers 3 and Avengers 4 means that Xingyuan's special effects team has reached the top level of the Hollywood industry.

Coupled with the fact that the previous "Wonder Woman" film is there, the strength of the Xingyuan special effects team is obvious to all.

If we don’t seize the time to seek cooperation at this time, we may not be able to cooperate after Avengers 3 and Avengers 4 are released and become a box office hit.

Qin Beibei also looked helpless when asked to cooperate with these companies.

She really wanted to agree to some of these companies, but Xingyuan's special effects team was not from Xingyuan Entertainment, but from the art department, and it was not under her control!

This situation occurs mainly because when Xingyuan Entertainment was first established, it was only a supporting package for Xingyuan Cinema, and its status in the company was too low.

At that time, the special effects team would sometimes do some CG for Xingyuan's games, and the person in charge of the special effects team was Li Jingyi's senior brother. No matter how you thought at the time, it was impossible to put the special effects team under Xingyuan Entertainment.

So when faced with these cooperation invitations, Qin Beibei could only help sort them out and send them to Li Jingyi.

Li Jingyi didn’t know much about these companies, so she simply kicked the ball back.

Only then did Qin Beibei regain her energy and start to deal with the matter.

At the same time, Luo Fan found a reason to send Su Qing out, then connected his mobile phone to the computer in the office, and Xiao Qi appeared on the screen.

"Hello Mr. Luo Fan, do you need any help?"

"Xiao Qi, do you know why you were born?" Luo Fan asked.

"According to the records in the database, Xiaoqi's body is an intelligent voice assistant edited by Mr. Luo Fan. The intelligent voice assistant is a supporting project for autonomous driving."

"That's right, if I asked you to design a core technology for autonomous driving, would you be able to handle it?" Luo Fan asked.

"Searching... Search completed. According to the current data analysis, the most high-end intelligent driving technology at this stage has only reached the L3 level. Civilian technology has not even reached the L3 level. If Xiaoqi independently programmed it, it can reach the L4 level.

level."

Luo Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The l2, l3, and l4 that Xiaoqi mentioned here are actually the levels of driverless driving.

This classification is defined by SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers).

The autonomous driving levels from 0 to 5 are L0 non-automated, L1 assisted driving, L2 semi-automated, L3 conditional automated, L4 highly automated, until L5 fully automated.

l0 non-automation means manual driving, and the driver has complete control over the vehicle.

L1 assisted driving means that the driver is still the main controller, and the system will only intervene in specific situations.

For example, the anti-lock braking system and dynamic stability system in current cars are functions of this level, and generally intervene when the driver drives carelessly.

L2 semi-automation means that the driving system can complete certain tasks, but the driver still needs to monitor the environment in real time.

Currently, the functions that can be 100% realized include automatic emergency braking, lane departure assist... L3 conditional automated driving is the technology that Luo Fan's company wanted to achieve before he crossed over.

Tesla claimed in its previous life that it would achieve this technology by 2020, but facts have proven that they failed. The countless car accidents Tesla had in 2020 are the best proof.

Why is L3's conditional autonomous driving so difficult? In fact, it is because under certain specific circumstances, the driving system can fully control the driving and temporarily free the driver.

The system can make mistakes countless times, but a person only lives once.

Luo Fan has participated in L3 level autonomous driving technology. Although he is only responsible for supporting the voice assistant, he can be said to have a thorough understanding of this technology.

To put it bluntly, from a technical perspective, leading companies like Tesla have actually solved more than 98% of the technical problems with L3’s autonomous driving, and they have used the remaining 2%

It took several years to get it done.

According to Luo Fan's previous understanding, if he wants to achieve this 2% breakthrough, it is conservatively estimated to be around 2027.

After l3, it will naturally be l4. The high degree of automation of l4 means that autonomous driving no longer requires users to keep an eye on it all the time.

The system can completely take over from the user, and the user can do anything. There is no need to stare at the road or pay attention to pedestrians and cars. The system can solve all these problems, and even just sleep while driving.

However, the L4 level system still has certain flaws, that is, it has certain requirements on weather, especially heavy rain and foggy days, which will have a great impact on the system.

The L5 above the L4 is fully automated, the ultimate form of autonomous driving. The system can safely control the car under any circumstances, no longer requiring users, and no need to worry about any weather conditions.

In theory, L3 technology can be achieved after 4G becomes popular, but these 2% are stuck for countless companies.

In fact, the same is true for l4. As long as the 4G network is popularized, theoretically there will be no time gap in information transmission.

But l3 can't be solved, let alone l4.

The algorithm required here is too complex. The boss of Luo Fan's company before his rebirth in his previous life told him that based on the current situation, unless there is an unexpected and huge breakthrough in AI, the L4's autonomous driving technology should not be seen in his lifetime.

arrive.

You must know that Luo Fan's boss was only 36 years old when he said this.

To be honest, Luo Fan had never thought about developing any intelligent driving before, but just a few hours ago, he received a call from Mr. Da Mi Lei.

Mr. Lei asked straight to the point: "Mr. Luo, do you still remember what you said when you attended our rice 1s press conference?"

Naturally, Luo Fan doesn't remember this kind of thing that happened several years ago.

Then Mr. Lei sent a paragraph to Luo Fan, in which Luo Fan was being interviewed by a reporter.

The reporter asked: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Lei just said that Xingyuan holds shares in Rice. Mr. Luo, did you invest in Rice because you were optimistic about the future of smartphones?"

Luo Fan shook his head and said: "I think you have misunderstood. I will choose to invest in Rice. In fact, I am more optimistic about Mr. Lei's ability and team.

I believe in Mr. Lei’s ability. Let alone mobile phones, if Mr. Lei wants to build a car, I am also willing to invest.”

After reading this paragraph, Luo Fan was speechless. Isn't this just a polite statement?

However, Mr. Lei had already prepared this paragraph, and obviously did not intend to treat this sentence as a polite statement.
