Nicole took a sip and did not drink much, but Gerard drank with gusto.
Eric, who was sitting to the side, did not say a word. His eyes occasionally glanced over to Nicole.
His stares were prickling, making it so that she could not ignore him even if she wanted to.
Nicole tilted her head, unable to bear it. What was he looking at?
“What are you looking at me for, Mr. Ferguson?”
Eric’s figure was tall and straight as he sat there casually. His collar was opened to reveal his delicate and cold collarbone, his shirt was tucked into his pants, and his straight legs were so long that there was no place to put them. His legs almost occupied Nicole’s position.
Two pairs of eyes met each other.
Eric’s eyes changed a few times in a complicated manner,
and his voice was low as he spoke. “Didn’t you look at me first?”
There was a hint of deep coldness in his tone.
’If you weren’t looking at me, how would you know that I was looking at you?’
It was an endless loop that had no definite starting point.
’Eric F*ckerson is so unreasonable!’
Nicole took a deep breath and told herself not to bicker with him.
Otherwise, she would die from anger sooner or later.
She looked away and smiled at Gerard. “How is the autopilot driving project going?”
Gerard became extremely excited at that mention.
“Although we’re not the first to research this project, our current research results can be regarded as the forefront of the world. Some of our core technologies are beyond the reach of foreign countries!”
Nicole raised her brows. “Has it been tested?”
Gerard nodded and shared the joy of this milestone with a pleasant surprise.
”We’ve added the most advanced AI sensing system to the chip and assembled it with brakes and acceleration.
“I went abroad to visit several automotive research centers.
I’ve basically gone to all the major brands, and I even studied race cars. Foreign sensing technology only determines braking and acceleration according to the obstacles in front of the car, which is easy to confuse if they’re muddled together.
However, if we apply the braking advantage of race cars to the AI system, a car going at a high speed of 1 80mph can still stop in three seconds while remaining extremely stable.”
Nicole and Molly looked at him in admiration.
For some reason, Gerard’s explanation was extraordinarily infectious.
He was like a pyramid scheme salesman.
Nicole smiled and even poured him a glass of wine personally.
“Good work, Mr. Lichman.”
Gerard waved his hand, equally proud and modest. “It’s what I should do.”
It was all about the money!
To the side, Eric swirled his glass and said in an indifferent tone, “Applying the braking principle of race cars to ordinary cars was proposed thirty years ago.
“So, what exactly is the advantage of our AI car compared to the others?”
The room instantly fell silent.
It was like a bucket of cold water splashed on them… Gerard looked at Eric speechlessly.
He knew that the hardest person to fool here was Eric.
Especially because this was a profession that Eric loved. Eric loved cars but never raced because he cherished life. Gerard coughed. “Safety.”
He pursed his lips. “Our biggest advantage is safety. Our cars have been experimented with hundreds of times, and airbags are installed in places that people can touch, both automatically and manually.
More importantly, humans do not believe that AI can respond emotionally. Thus, in the car, whenever the driver touches the relevant devices, the full-alert mode will be activated and the driver will be able to take the wheel himself, nullifying the control of the AI.”
This was their final step.
No matter how advanced the AI system was, no matter how above life it was, they put the ultimate decision- making right into the hands of humans.
That was the most practical way.
Molly nodded and picked up where he left off.
“That’s right. More than that, we used the flight principle in our chip. During critical moments, such as during a coIlision between two cars or the car falling off a cliff, the driver’s seat will rise for about five seconds if it suffers a violent collision or contraction. Three meters is our latest research result.”
