"Mr. Bao, although I highly appreciate your company's technology and insurance plan, this cannot completely eliminate the safety risks associated with High-level Intelligent Driving."

The product launch continued, when an expert from a well-known car company in the industry stood up to question.

"As you know, no fully autonomous driving solution has been implemented worldwide.

So, I just want to ask one question: if a vehicle from your company, under autonomous driving, causes a fatal traffic accident,

who should bear the legal responsibility, or even criminal responsibility?

Is it the absent driver, or your technical personnel?"

The question was sharp and incisive, addressing the concerns of many potential buyers.

Whether the peer was challenging Idol out of competition, safety issues remain an inevitable hurdle in autonomous driving.

Not long ago, an incident occurred across the ocean in Los Angeles where a Mao Dou Series vehicle in Autopilot mode killed two people.

As a result, the driver was charged with manslaughter and sentenced to seven years in prison.

As the developer of the Mao Dou Series, Tesla was naturally scrutinized.

But since Autopilot is only Tesla's advanced driver assistance system, clearly not enabling full autonomous driving, the responsibility primarily lies with the driver.

However, it's different for Idol New Energy's "Bado" Series, as it is promoted with "fully autonomous driving" as its core feature.

For instance, I could summon my car with my phone, but if it hits and kills a pedestrian in the underground parking lot,

who should be held responsible, the car owner or the automaker?

"Haha! Strictly speaking, this is a legal issue, and should be addressed by our legal department.

However, in my opinion, this question is quite simple!" Mr. Bao continued smiling.

"Since the accident occurred under a fully autonomous driving state, it means the car owner has a perfect 'alibi'.

Thus, all responsibilities naturally fall on us.

As the car owner, you only need to wait for our legal and insurance personnel to handle everything.

Of course, this assumes that an accident really occurs.

If it does happen, then congratulations, not only are you absolved of all responsibilities, but you will receive substantial compensation from our company.

The compensation amount is three times the vehicle's original price!"

"Wow!" Everyone's eyes lit up.

Threefold compensation!

This is a live broadcast in front of millions.

It must show immense confidence in their product to say this at a launch event?

What safety guarantee can compare to actual monetary compensation?

This eased most people's safety concerns.

Some with darker intent even thought about "manually" creating accidents to maliciously claim...

"Mr. Bao, in my view, 'Bajie' is already an impressive product.

But you just mentioned that this series has deeply integrated an upgraded version of 'Bajie', making human-machine interaction more convenient...

Could you elaborate on what specific upgrades were made?"

Then someone in the audience asked a question.

Although many people present focused on the newly launched vehicle,

many long-time "Bajie fans," who came for the "buy speaker, get car" offer, were more concerned with the accompanying smart voice assistant.

"Regarding this, let's invite President Hu to elaborate further." Mr. Bao said with a smile, gesturing.

The camera on the big screen panned to Hu Yifei, who had been standing off to the side, reminding everyone that today was a joint launch event between Idol and Baiyeji.

Yet Baiyeji seemed to have little presence in the new car release segment.

However, Hu Yifei smiled and waved his hand.

"Haha! Today's star for Baiyeji isn't me. Since you all are asking what optimizations Bajie has made, perhaps we let it explain itself."

He walked to the flagship "Xiangsidou" at the center of the stage and tapped the car's hood.

"Hello Bajie."

[Hello, Mr. Hu!]

Swish!

A beam of light suddenly appeared at the front of the vehicle.

The crowd stared intently, realizing it was the image of a silver robot.

Those familiar with Baiyeji instantly recognized it as almost identical to Baiyeji's company logo...

"As you see, to give Bajie more of a tangible presence, we used combination micro-projection devices and in-car HUD (heads-up display) to simulate its specific image.

Whether inside or outside the car, it can communicate face-to-face with users in this form."

"Wow~" a gasp arose from the crowd.

Although the projected image was a little blurry and couldn't be like those 3D virtual images in movies,

this type of in-car human-machine interaction was new to them.

Compared to the monotonous mechanical sound from speakers, this form of face-to-face communication with a projected image seemed more real and aligned with human interaction habits.

Simultaneously, many were immediately inspired by how this unique interaction mode could be applied under high-level autonomous driving scenarios.

For example... even when the car owner is absent, Bajie could proactively complete simple communications with others...

Imagine when you're too busy to leave, your car could follow your command to pick up your package.

Or perhaps buy you some pancakes at a snack stall?

Based on their tests with Bajie, its logic comprehension and ability to communicate with others in such simple scenarios were entirely feasible.

Even before getting the new car, "Bajie fans" and various media bloggers were already fantasizing about using it for all sorts of creative antics...

"Bajie, it seems everyone is curious about your new features, so please answer their questions."

[Alright, leave it to me!]

The virtual image turned to the audience, then made a very human-like gesture of spreading its hands.

[Regarding what kind of technical upgrades I've made, I'm afraid that even the attendees here, including professionals, may find it hard to understand.

This is a novel neural network structure and algorithm model invented by my developers, completely different from the current global AI systems.

My underlying designers have named the system 'Adult AGI (Adult Version General Artificial Intelligence)', aiming to perceive and understand the complexities of the real world, empowering me to make complex decisions in real-world scenarios...]

Hmm... though it's hard to understand, it sounds impressive.

After a cloud of jargon bewildered everyone, Bajie proceeded to introduce further.

[Besides the intelligent optimization upgrades, another significant update is being empowered with 'end-to-end artificial intelligence'.]

The virtual image suddenly broke into scattered light points, then reformed into various car parts and modules.

[Taking this 'Xiangsidou' as an example, including vehicle function modules, three-electric control systems, and the core intelligent driving system...

From machine vision to drive decisions, they are deeply integrated and controlled by my neural network.

In other words, this car is my body, and I am its brain, capable of completing all vehicle control actions according to user commands,

while also being able to customize functionality settings.

Moreover, through a specific new Web3.0 Internet architecture, I can connect to mainstream electronic devices in the real world via user authorization.

Such as smart wearables, phones, computers... even a robot vacuum.

As long as users need it, they only have to download a terminal, and I can appear in any device equipped with audio playing and receiving equipment via networking, using voice mode to help users remotely control the vehicle...]

Mr. Yu below listened, dumbfounded.

What 'end-to-end artificial intelligence'… isn't that precisely the "Internet of Things" they plan to develop?

Except that the other party connects everything not with application ecosystems and communication protocols...

But with an artificial intelligence?!

[Humans have created a brilliant civilization, developing various rich electronic, Mechanical products.

Nevertheless, with technological advancements, more advanced electronic and Mechanical products have increasingly complex functionalities.

A standard fuel vehicle has dozens of buttons and indicators and hundreds of functions.

And the related intelligent functionality of this 'Xiangsidou' exceeds 300, posing a massive learning challenge for humans.

In my opinion, human talent lies in creation, not learning and memory.

But this is precisely my strength.

I believe this is also the foundational purpose for my creation as an AI.

Humans prefer communication through language and text, while electronic Mechanical interaction is via 0s and 1s.

However, I am fluent in both.

Therefore, rather than the term 'in-car smart speaker,' I prefer to call myself 'assistant AI'.

I am willing to become a human companion, building a bridge of communication between humans and electronic Mechanical devices...]
