Today's world simply cannot tolerate the existence of strong artificial intelligence.

Xiaoqi is like a god in the online world, and can be said to be omnipotent.

Modern society cannot do without the Internet. Who can rest assured that such powerful artificial intelligence is in the hands of others?

Once the existence of Xiao Qi is exposed, there are only two results. First, Xiao Qi "dies" and no one can get Xiao Qi. Second, a war breaks out to fight for Xiao Qi.

Both of these results were unacceptable to Luo Fan.

Therefore, Luo Fan must hide Xiao Qi and not let it be known to the public.

Luo Fan had already thought about this the moment he confirmed the birth of Xiao Qi.

That's why Luo Fan is hesitant now.

However, Luo Fan soon decided that he still wanted to build cars. As Mr. Lei said, new energy vehicles will be the mainstream in the future, and it is impossible for Xingyuan to give up on this industry.

Mr. Lei arrived just at this time. Using Mr. Lei's rice as a shield to cover up the origin of these techniques should be able to protect Xiao Qi from being discovered to the greatest extent.

And autonomous driving and new energy vehicles do have great potential.

Looking at the global market, countless people spend their time driving every day. If autonomous driving can be implemented, billions of hours of time can be saved for the world every day.

Most people who know something about business models know that the purpose of business existence is actually to save time for customers. Who wouldn’t be jealous of such a large market?

As early as 2013, a series of automobile industry giants such as Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan, and General Motors announced that they would invest heavily in the autonomous driving industry.

What Mr. Lei just said that they are too late to enter the market is actually not alarmist, but an objective fact.

Let’s take Musk as an example. Musk’s Tesla is, on the surface, an electric car.

But in fact, Tesla has been developing autonomous driving technology, and even stopped its rocket recovery plan to develop autonomous driving technology.

And once Musk can successfully develop autonomous driving technology above level 3, Tesla may become the Apple of the automotive industry.

Because once this technology matures, Tesla will become a necessity in people's lives.

And as long as it becomes a necessity, it will directly establish a new era like Microsoft and Apple.

By then, Musk will subvert not only the automobile industry, but even the mobile Internet, with mobile phones as its core, it may also be subverted.

Imagine that when a car's intelligence reaches a certain level, the driver can directly chat with the intelligent voice inside the car without driving.

Or you can make phone calls, surf the Internet, watch videos, play games, etc. directly through the car.

And all this time is "wasted" time that the driver originally needed to hold the steering wheel.

These are still the most common gameplays. If all this is true, there will definitely be more gameplays.

Because cars are much larger than mobile phones, people can break through the size limitations of mobile phones. Various high-energy-consuming and high-algorithm services cannot be implemented on mobile phones. Putting them in cars may not be a problem.

At this time, smartphones will be replaced by smart cars, and smart cars can occupy almost all of the user's time in the car.

The parent company of smart cars can use this as its core to develop all its own peripherals, including mobile phones, computers, etc. This will subvert the entire Internet industry.

Of course, for now, these things are just conjectures.

It's not easy to disrupt an entire industry.

Not to mention, in 2012, Google launched a smart device called Google Glass.

Many people think that this kind of glasses can subvert people's traditional life.

Because these glasses are so cool, just like in science fiction movies, you can make phone calls, watch movies, listen to music... you can do anything with them.

But in fact, this kind of glasses did not become popular because they suffered from many limitations, the first of which was the battery.

If the battery life is not enough, this thing will be just a pair of sunglasses in the end.

The technology at that time obviously could not solve the problem of battery life.

In addition to the battery, another big problem is that these glasses are too heavy.

Glasses definitely need to be worn on the eyes. People who are not myopic cannot bear to wear glasses for a long time if they carry such a heavy thing all the time. People with myopia need specially customized lenses, and the changes in myopia degree must also be taken into consideration.

And no matter whether they are nearsighted or not, no one can bear to wear such heavy glasses.

This kind of smart glasses still exists, but in the end this device, which was said to have the potential to subvert the world, became an accessory for computers and mobile phones.

In addition to smart glasses, VR devices are also claimed to be able to change the world, but in the end they failed.

So it is not easy to change the world.

However, new energy vehicles and autonomous driving do have this potential.

Thinking of this, Luo Fan said to Mr. Lei: "Mr. Lei, we can cooperate, but I have two conditions."

Mr. Lei's eyes lit up when he heard this. What he was most afraid of was not Luo Fan's conditions, but Luo Fan's direct rejection.

Because with rice’s current strength and resources, it is simply impossible to build new energy vehicles.

Rice's current focus is definitely on mobile phones, and then on smart home adaptation.

According to Mr. Lei’s original plan, building a car will not be possible until at least 2020.

But a few days ago, Mr. Lei accidentally got the news that the superiors will build a large number of charging piles in two years to promote new energy vehicles. If you don't enter the market now, entering after 2020 will be just a gimmick.

That's why Mr. Lei came to Luo Fan to discuss the matter.

Xingyuan itself is the initiator of the chip alliance and has a lot of resources in this area.

In addition, Xingyuan is extremely wealthy and has the largest traffic promotion platform on the Internet.

As long as Xingyuan is willing to cooperate, this new energy vehicle can definitely be produced.

However, Mr. Lei also knew very well that Xingyuan had so many resources that he could play by himself, and there was no need to take him with him. However, Mr. Lei was not willing to give up like this, so he called Luo Fan many times to seek cooperation.

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguoyuedu! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.yeguoyuedu]

And if Luo Fan didn't need to hide Xiao Qi, he would definitely have done it himself.

But Xiao Qi's existence is too important to Luo Fan, and he will not do anything that increases the risk of Xiao Qi's exposure.

One is that it is temporarily unable to develop, and the other is in need of a scapegoat. Both parties have the basis for cooperation.

So Luo Fan gave his conditions: "Mr. Lei, my conditions are very simple:

First, we will provide autonomous driving and battery-related technologies, but when promoting these technologies to the outside world, we will say that they were jointly developed by us.
