Chapter 728: Old driver and Shi Lei.

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Testing the remote driving function of the Shi Lei car is not something that can be achieved in an afternoon. It will take two days to complete the whole testing process from the first step of taking a backup photo. During these two days, some events will be boring and others very exciting.

At the entrance to the test center, a group of journalists impatiently awaited the arrival of the American representative. Those reporters who waited for the United States delegation waited for the black bus until it appeared with its beautiful statue and when they saw the bus with the words [United States delegation] taped to the front windshield of the bus, these journalists were berserk. The Americans finally arrived, a good forty-three minutes late.

The black Mercedes-Benz bus honked its horn and drove through the door of the crowded test center as if no one else was there. There was a strange noise and the door of the Mercedes-Benz bus opened. First, several translators in suits came out the door, then the strangers lazily came downstairs and as soon as the staff in charge of welcoming them, a man from the test center, went there, the journalists who were standing at the door, as if they had installed springs, ran to the door of the bus and blocked the United States representative.

"I am a reporter from Xilang News. May I ask the United States representative, why was he late for almost an hour?"

"I'm a Southeast TV reporter; the United States Rep was so late. Is there a reason?"

"I am..."

The fat stranger with short hair finally got out of the Mercedes-Benz bus. Dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, she waved indifferently at the reporters: "Listen, everyone, we have already called the organizer on the way to explain the reason for our delay this time. Our delegation has arrived in Shanghai for the first time and did not know Shanghai's traffic habits at the moment. We left an hour early and thought there was a lot of time. As a result, we encountered a traffic jam on the road. "

"As far as I know, the Wyndham hotel where you are staying is only seven kilometers away and there are no traffic jams on the road." A local Shanghai reporter glared: "I think the United States representative is insincere."

"Maybe the driver took the wrong way ~" The United States representative spread her hands.

This response caused reporters to stare at her and the bus driver for a while, and they were so angry they couldn't react. On the other side of the windshield was a driver with a Chinese face. In today's overwhelming navigation, how could he get the wrong direction?

The lukewarm attitude of the United States representative not only made reporters so angry that their lungs hurt, but even the public watching the live video had their teeth itchy, wishing they could pull her out and bite her with all their teeth.

The late United States representative, guided by staff, entered the lobby of the test center. There, the photo backup of the Shi Lei car was completed, and under media verification, the two Shi Lei vehicles were sent to the next area by the personnel.

"Hi~"

After entering the arena, the United States representative smiled and greeted those present in Chinese, and took the initiative to offer her hands after approaching: "I also beg your pardon, and we really underestimated the level of development of Shanghai, even if we have already left an hour early, we will not be able to arrive at the site in the scheduled time.

"Mr. Duan, Mr. Ye, I'm so sorry," United States Representative Jayne reached out to Director Duan Shuang Qing and nodded apologetically to Ye Qing. Reaching out not to hit the smiley face, Duan Shuang Qing clearly knew that this American was unstuck in traffic at all.

There were employees in the Wyndham hotel who were specifically responsible for arranging accommodation for United States representatives. The actual time they come out was fundamentally different from what Jayne said. However, after exiting the hotel, Duan Shuang Qing was unclear about what the United States representative did.

After saying hello to Duan Shuang Qing, United States Representative Jayne and the other members walked over to Ye Qing with a smile. There were eleven people in total, and Jayne's demeanor was like that of a bureaucrat and her smile was flawless. The other ten people were generally older and four of them wore glasses. Most of them stood there with no expression on their faces, but Ye Qing could sense a faint aura from them. An aura of senior technicians, and there was deep hostility in their eyes.

"Mr. Ye, it's an honor for me to be able to meet you," Jayne clasped her fists with both hands and greeted in Chinese: "China is the most populous country in the world. Since entering the 21st century, the development of Chinese technology has also entered an unprecedented take-off phase."

"However, we never imagined China would be able to give birth to the largest technology company in the world your Huge Industrial Monster. Even in the United States, your technological achievements are enough to amaze the entire United States."

"You're welcome," Ye Qing replied with a slight smile, there must be a demon if something is wrong.

Even if the United States representative wanted to play big cards, there was no need to prove it by showing up late, which is a very naive way. The bus was packed and even the driver was a Chinese employee at an American company. However, Ye Qing wasn't too interested in knowing what they did, and they could do whatever they wanted.

After a brief courtesy, the testing procedure began again.

Most of the United States Representative's equipment was arranged at noon by the staff based on their prior needs. Now, staff has brought several pieces of sophisticated electronic instruments packed in crash boxes onto the bus.

The next site was in a translucent building in the test center. This building was called the automotive road simulation test center and had the most advanced road simulation system of all Chinese technological equipment.

A Shi Lei car was placed on the multi-directional car speed platform, and there were a traffic light 30 meters in front of the car. And road signs on the ground can also be changed into different signs at any time under the driving of mechanical equipment. The function of this building is much more than that. After hundreds of media had entered the predetermined media area, they were quickly attracted to various facilities they had never seen before. The place was full of models of people and prop cars. It was just they didn't know what these things were for.

There was no one in the Shi Lei car. Representatives from the Huge Industrial Monster, representatives from the United States, representatives from the transportation department, and technicians from Fudan University's test center and laboratory were seated in the area opposite the media. In front of them, it was difficult to count all kinds of electronic equipment in a short time, these dense wirings were more complicated than the wires erected in the urban village of Shanghai, like hundreds of intersecting spider webs.

"Cough cough~"

Director Duan Shuang Qing cleared his throat and said aloud into the microphone in front of him: "There are still five minutes left to start the test. Before that, I will explain to the media that we are going to test the contents of this test to eliminate your doubts. This test is to test the response of the Shi Lei car when encountering different traffic signs on the road when the remote driving mode is on. As we all know, in the face of complex traffic signs on urban roads, even the driving experience of wealthy veteran drivers will inevitably make mistakes."

"If the man drives like that, then what if there's no one there?"

"Haha~ let's wait and see."

Director Duan Shuang Qing's response made all the media at the scene gasp and breathless.

"I rely on ~ This test is very good, and the audience is looking forward to it!"

"So, I announce the start of the test," Director Duan Shuang Qing nodded to everyone.

"Please, wait a moment."

The next moment, United States Representative Jayne spoke into the microphone in front of her.
