Chapter 737: Before departure.
On the airport tarmac, two very black behemoths were parked quietly there, next to them were trucks and people who continued to transport goods, almost all of the passengers who got off the buses and were about to board the planes looked at the two behemoths in the distance with surprised eyes. They might not recognize these two aircraft models much larger than the Boeing 737 series, but they were familiar with the Huge Industrial Monster logo on the vertical tail!
In the crowd, there were actually quite a few media workers wearing red and yellow vests with the words PRESS printed on their backs. They looked at the two planes in amazement.
The Huge Industrial Monster is truly amazing.
Just at 8:00 a.m. this morning, the transportation department of China announced the news that shocked the world.
[Huge Industrial Monster's Shi Lei car has been approved in the 'remote driving' function.].
As soon as the news came out, all the media were in turmoil.
No one would have imagined such a shocking shift in public opinion could happen in just half a month. People who were provoked by the United States were initially suspicious of this project, and most people hoped that this project would never pass. Now, with the approval of the rushed Department of Transportation, reporters feel the world is changing too fast. Then they rushed to Shanghai like a tidal wave, wanting to interview the Huge Industrial Monster; What plan are you going coming up with next to promote the remote driving feature?
Some people also questioned why the transportation department was so quick this time and replied that in fact, the transportation department has been evaluating the project since the first request for approval. The initial technical evaluation passed, but there was a lack of hardware testing. Nowadays, with perfect results, remote driving will be unanimously accepted by many institutions and the public, and naturally, there is no need to waste time.
Of course, the approval document was not a green light for the Huge Industrial Monster to put the Shi Lei car on the market for sale. In the document, many restrictions were listed, and at the same time, they also clarified in detail the obligations that the Huge Industrial Monster should fulfill to the public before the launch of this project. 12 articles were published in the document of the department of transport.
With the exception of the traffic accident after the explicit activation of the remote driving function this will be supported by the Huge Industrial Monster. The document also stated that the remote driving function cannot be opened unhindered in all cities. Only when the number of vehicles in the city meets current standards or is within the coverage of the energy service center, can, it meets the opening requirements.
At the same time, after the public opening of the remote driving function. The Ministry of Transportation will also continue tracking the accident rate of Shi Lei cars in a remote driving mode. If within three months, the traffic police are assigned responsibility, and the accident rate for which Shi Lei's car is mainly responsible exceeds 40%, the function will be suspended until improved.
This document from the transportation department was obviously not thrown out in a hurry, and it seems that he started preparing this document when he first received the circulation request from the Shi Lei car for the mode of remote circulation, and as soon as the document came out, the whole Chinese Internet was in turmoil.
"When will it open and in which city? I feel like I'm living in a science fiction world."
"Humans are so lazy they don't even need to drive a car? That's the gospel of my generation."
"This document is very detailed, even the distribution of responsibilities has been standardized. I wonder if the insurance company is willing to insure the Shi Lei car?"
"I have a question, assuming remote driving is enabled. Then the passenger is not sitting in the driver's seat, and he is not turning the steering wheel, what should I do if he is causing a circulation accident?"
"Go Huge Industrial Monster quickly opens this function, I live in Jing Ling City, does this city meet the opening requirement??"
"In the United States, is the US Department of Commerce going to say anything?"
......
When the traffic department prepared the document, and when the news of the remote driving function was first sent back to the company, Ye Qing and company executives had already held a meeting in the conference room to discuss the issue of rushing to Nigeria in the afternoon, and after the meeting, everyone was caught off guard by this huge surprise, and they clapped desperately for a few minutes before stopping.
Everyone, including Ye Qing, was convinced that this exam would definitely pass. But no one thought it would happen so fast, it only happened a few days after the ordeal ended. It was barely two days, and they estimated it would take a month, they thought the traffic department would delay approval until the public unrest died down and people were about to forget it.
"What to do, boss, should we start preparations immediately and announce to the media the countdown to activate the remote driving function?" Several managers waved their hands impatiently.
Ye Qing nodded: "I'll leave that to the technical department. Based on current data, Shanghai is the most suitable city for us to fire the first shot."
"How is the energy service center prepared?"
"Boss, Shanghai's two energy service centers are ready, just waiting for the technical department to be ready to open the remote driving function," Kong Tao said excitedly.
"So, it will be two days later, you tell reporters about this news and they start counting down."
"Okay, we'll study this at the first meeting. It will be very difficult for everyone these days, but it will also be very fulfilling," Ye Qing encouraged.
Everyone present nodded vigorously and left with excitement on their faces. The head of the personnel department, Yu Huali, was guarded by Ye Qing, he wanted to meet him later and tell him about the hundreds of brave employees who were about to go overseas for an expedition.
Departure time was set for one o'clock in the afternoon, and now these hundreds of employees were gathering in the airport's VIP lounge. There was no grand ceremony, only a farewell party and a "bag" delivered by the Huge Industrial Monster.
In the bag, in addition to some medicines for epidemic diseases in Africa, there was a satellite phone. In Nigeria, employees who have completed two range weapons courses will also receive a Colt pistol for self-defense.
When Ye Qing and Yu Huali arrived at the airport by car, several media gathered in front of the huge VIP lounge. It seems they were drawn to the two huge cargo planes on the tarmac and touched by the reporter's unique sense of information.
Sure enough ~ When Ye Qing and Yu Huali arrived; the reporters immediately realized that there was news. Their eyes were full of inconceivability, and they immediately surrounded them after being stunned for a few seconds.
However, Ye Qing refused the interview, followed a Master Metal Expert, and easily entered the rest area, and the media quickly guessed the intention of the Huge Industrial Monster at the airport. It was the rhythm of going abroad! Two big planes, hundreds of employees, this battle is big enough!
In the rest area, hundreds of employees were ready to leave. They uniformly changed into light gray uniforms, and a Huge Industrial Monster logo work card hung on their chests. Wearing this uniform on these young male employees between the ages of 20 and 30, they look very energetic. When Ye Qing stepped in, everyone suddenly realized that there was a man wearing the same uniform with a very serious and cold expression next to Chairman Ye.
"I would like to introduce you; this is Mr. Jin Liuhai."
Yu Huali, head of the personnel department, took the lead with applause.
"He will lead the warriors here to build a brand-new industrial city for the company in Nigeria, where the conditions are tough.»
