219: A big hit, great sales and good reputation
In some situations, if he were driving, he wouldn't have had enough time to react and would likely have rear-ended someone.
Yet, this car showed no hesitation whatsoever, as if a professional race car driver had possessed it.
It had already calculated every scenario, and even the car behind hadn't reacted before this car had already weaved in.
In the live stream.
The comments were going wild.
"Holy moly, you can drive this fast on this road section??"
"Damn, with these maneuvers, even a race car driver wouldn't be much better?!"
"I'm impressed, Fenglei Automobile's ADS Intelligent Driving System exceeds my imagination."
Some netizens, however, were hesitant.
"Isn't it too dangerous to change lanes so casually??"
"Yeah, and it's not very civilized, changing lanes frantically in congested areas??"
These people's comments were immediately shot down by Fenglei Automobile owners.
"Open your eyes and see clearly, Fenglei Automobile's every overtaking opportunity is perfectly controlled; despite the high speed, they are all civilized overtakes."
"You must be a bunch of people who've never driven before; driving slowly is the most dangerous, and it easily causes traffic jams."
"Exactly, many times traffic jams are caused by these slow-driving idiots."
"Well done! If I had this technology, I'd drive like this too. Normally, I get a headache seeing all sorts of cut-ins that block the road. This Zhi Jia System feels like it drives much better than I do."
...
At this moment.
Avarese was also very excited; the intelligence of the ADS Intelligent Driving System far exceeded his imagination.
Based on his usual driving habits, such congested road sections would typically delay him by at least half an hour.
However, under the automatic driving control of this car, it took less than ten minutes to leave the congested area.
After passing through, the system thoughtfully automatically switched back to normal commuting mode, no longer as aggressive as before.
"It's amazing, it really feels like a super race car driver is in control."
"But next, the most difficult part is coming. My parking space is very small, and there's a supporting pillar next to it, so I can only barely get the car in."
"If this car can enter without any damage, then I'm truly convinced."
Avarese said to the live stream.
To be honest.
Driving outside was secondary; what bothered him most was his own parking lot, which was too narrow, with close distances between parking spaces, making it a real test of skill.
But very quickly.
The car automatically drove into the parking lot and began to identify parking spaces.
After seeing the screen displayed on the car's console, Avarese manually selected a parking space.
This parking space usually took him several minutes to reverse into himself.
But with the car's operation.
The entire process.
It took less than a minute for the car to be perfectly parked.
It hardly needed any adjustments, going in perfectly flush with the stone pillar in one go, without any hesitation.
The control of extreme distances front, back, left, and right was so precise that Avarese felt the car was about to hit the stone pillar several times and almost couldn't resist stepping on the brake.
But the facts proved that this car drove even better than he did.
It's important to know that the system was coming to this parking space for the first time.
"No, is it really not a person driving??"
"There isn't a race car driver crouching in the engine hood, is there?!"
"This is too impressive. I usually get a headache seeing such narrow and cluttered parking spaces; it's practically hell difficulty. I never thought it would be achieved by autonomous driving one day."
"I really need this function. Every time my wife parks, she makes me nervous, either hitting a wall or hitting someone else's car. The money paid in compensation is enough to buy a new car."
"To be honest, it's really smooth. I must buy this ADS Intelligent Driving System no matter how much it costs. Forget 50,000, even 100,000 is fine."
After watching numerous operations, the netizens' expressions were a mix of wonder.
Several Fenglei Automobile owners even exchanged notes with each other.
Fenglei Automobile's autonomous driving technology completely conquered them.
Although there weren't many people in this live stream, they were all Fenglei Automobile fans.
Someone recorded the Snippet and shared it on website forums.
It immediately sparked a lot of discussion among netizens.
Many experiences with Fenglei Automobile's Zhi Jia System also appeared online.
Without exception.
They were all praise and astonishment.
This system... completely mimicked human driving habits.
It could even react differently according to different road sections, just like a highly skilled and perfect driver who rarely makes mistakes.
Many curious netizens followed suit and started discussing Fenglei Automobile's information.
"With Fenglei Automobile's Zhi Jia System, safety is truly maximized. Not only is the hardware safe, but the software is also so advanced and reliable; there's truly nothing to fault."
"Many new energy vehicle companies have successively released rumors that their models will soon be equipped with Fenglei Automobile's ADS Intelligent Driving System. Although some functions are not fully open, it is still a genuine L3 level."
""Hiss, good heavens, isn't Tesla in danger then??"
"According to the latest news I've received, due to too many cancellations and a large loss of orders on Tesla's official website, Tesla announced that all its models would be reduced by 50,000 and would also include a free three-year FSD System experience card."
"Not just Tesla, luxury car companies like Porsche and Ferrari can't sit still. Their new energy models have all started major price reductions."
"What? Fenglei Automobile and Tesla are fighting, and luxury car brands are also affected??"
Netizens were all taken aback.
Many people initially thought Tesla was already miserable enough.
But they didn't expect that those luxury cars would also suffer.
Tesla's major defeat in the autonomous driving field this time made the situation even more unbearable for luxury car giants, led by Porsche, in terms of autonomous driving.
Porsche Headquarters.
Ferdinand's face was very grim.
After seeing the car show yesterday, he had a very bad premonition.
Sure enough, today, news of a sharp drop in orders came from the official website APP and various offline 4S stores.
Some car owners who were about to pick up their cars even requested to refund their deposits, wanting to go and buy new energy vehicles bundled with Fenglei Automobile's ADS Intelligent Driving System.
"Damn Fenglei Automobile..."
"How can autonomous driving be more reliable than humans? If you drive yourself, how can you experience the joy of driving??"
"These fools, they don't even know what pure driving pleasure is!!"
Ferdinand said through gritted teeth.
This time.
He hated both Fenglei Automobile and Tesla.
As a giant that started in the internal combustion engine industry, he deeply disliked terms like autonomous driving and new energy.
In recent years, Porsche has not been without research in the new energy and autonomous driving fields.
They even released several new energy models.
However, their start was late, and their development focus was not on this, so naturally, they couldn't compare to brands like Tesla.
Therefore, he was most unwilling to see the rise of new energy and autonomous driving technology.
Before Porsche's technology in this area developed, they could only continue to use internal combustion engines and the smell of gasoline as the purest automotive industry as a promotional hot spot.
The development of new energy in recent years made him restless.
Now, the changes in the market have indeed confirmed his thoughts.
"Go buy press releases and contact several well-known car review bloggers. We can't let the popularity of autonomous driving continue like this."
Ferdinand instructed Liu Jun, who was beside him.
No matter what.
Before Fenglei Automobile's Zhi Jia System spreads, let self-media operate first to muddy the waters.
Otherwise, if this continues, Porsche's sales will also be greatly affected.
Even the days of harvesting the World through brand premium will probably come to an end.
