Chapter 139 Unmanned Autonomous Driving(1/2)

Hu Lai was surprised.

It has to be said that the operation of Phoenix Car Sharing completely exceeded his expectations.

Originally it was only used as a technology verification platform for the New Energy Vehicle Department, and the company did not make a large capital investment. Unexpectedly, within a month, the results were very good.

At this time, Song Yang appeared in Hu Lai's office with an excited face.

"Boss, our shared car has been online for just one month, and the statistics are out today!"

“In the past month, the number of customers using our shared car business has exceeded 10,000!”

“And now, our daily active number has stabilized at 2,000 people!”

Um?

Hu Lai looked at the statistical report on the computer and didn't know much about the data on shared cars.

Song Yang explained: "Boss, the daily activity of two thousand people means that there are two thousand people using our shared car service every day!"

Two thousand people?!

Hu Lai was a little surprised. Currently, there are only 500 Phoenix shared cars in total, and there are 2,000 people active. Doesn’t it mean that the previous customer just returned the car, and the next customer made an appointment to pick it up?

As if hearing what Hu Lai was thinking, Song Yang continued.

"Boss, just a few days before our shared car went online, it was operating at full capacity 90% of the time during the day."

"I originally thought it was just a trial by customers, but I didn't expect that after such a long time, the usage rate has not declined, but is actually increasing."

"Moreover, our customers are very loyal. Up to 60% of our customers place repeat orders. This is simply the best recognition of our service!"

Song Yang said happily, he was too proud.

The data of Phoenix Car Sharing is simply a bunker.

90% full load operation status.

What kind of situation is this?

Even if it is a first-tier brand in the industry, if it can reach a usage rate of 70% when it issues coupons and is picked off by others, it will burst into tears and shout that it is about to take off.

The Phoenix has a usage rate of 90%.

Compared with Phoenix, first-tier brands are completely shit.

What’s even more terrifying is the repurchase rate.

60%!

This means that out of 10 people who have used Mayfly, 6 of them continue to use it.

You know, there are many customers here just to experience it this month, and the real repurchase rate may reach more than 75%!

It's simply unimaginable.

If these sets of data were known to other brands, I don’t know what kind of shock they would get!

Song Yang lamented that although his management and operation contributed to this, the most important thing is that the "Mayfly" shared car is too "hard"!

It's so fucking hard.

Ridiculously strong.

360 degree panoramic image.

Automatic parking.

Autopilot.

Putting these few very practical features on the car, coupled with the long battery life of 320KM, directly makes the "Ephemeral" become the "top class" in the shared car industry.

Compared with the same type of peers with 100 kilometers of battery life and low configurations, it is simply a dimensionality reduction blow!

They are all brothers!

And customers who have used "Mayfly" once can no longer tolerate other brands of shared cars.

"Forget it, I have to use Phoenix Sharing Car if it's more expensive. How many dollars do I need?"

Not only was the hard power of "Ephemera" too strong, but the overall integration capabilities of the Phoenix Factory also completely exceeded his expectations!

The after-sales maintenance improvement of the new energy vehicle department is almost nanny-level, and under the coordination of the Administration Department Yiyi, the Information Technology Department has also set up a department to conduct big data analysis of shared vehicle operation data.

With the intervention of big data analysis, many information such as the number of car users every day, car use time periods, car use locations, etc. are predicted in advance and informed to the shared car operation department.

In this way, the operation center only needs to analyze the big data, plan the plan in advance, and allocate site vehicles.

After two weeks of testing, Song Yang was completely convinced that Phoenix's information technology department's big data analysis was ridiculously accurate.

With such superior hard power and digitalized Phoenix car sharing, it would be difficult to even think about taking off.

The more Song Yang thought about it, the happier he became, and his face burst into laughter.

Just at this time, Hu Lai finished reading the data report on the computer, and Song Yang quickly said: "Boss, I suggest that we can expand the scale appropriately."

“Not only can we add more operating vehicles, but we can also add some parking spaces for picking up cars.”

"Once the key areas in several counties surrounding Shancheng City are covered, a shared network will be formed in Shancheng City."

Seeing that Hu Lai did not refuse, Song Yang continued to express his thoughts:

"Boss, the first batch of fifty units of our 'Ephemera' long-range version has rolled off the production line and is ready to be launched on the market today."

"Next step, I plan to launch a two-seater version, specially used for transportation around the city."

"The two-seater version is specially designed for operation around urban areas, with a range of about 180 kilometers and a speed limit of 70KM/H."

"And the chassis does not need high-end configurations. It only needs to retain a few important configurations such as automatic driving and automatic parking. In this way, our battery costs will be greatly reduced, and the motor costs will also be reduced."

"Of course, the rental price of the two-seater version will also be lowered, which will better capture the market."

The configuration is reduced and a two-seater version is launched.

Specialized city scooter.

Hu Lai understood Song Yang's thoughts very well.

It can be said that Song Yang's idea is completely a market-oriented idea, by reducing the cost of vehicle manufacturing and recovering costs faster to achieve profitability.

Seeing that Hu Lai was a little worried, Song Yang continued:

"Boss, I discussed it with Li Kenan."

"We are only reducing the cost of motors, batteries and chassis, but we will still strictly control the quality of other parts and components, so the overall quality can be completely guaranteed."

Different from Hu Lai's original intention, as the CEO of Phoenix Sharing, Song Yang really wants to make Phoenix Sharing bigger and stronger and make more money.

Hu Lai thought for a moment and then agreed.

Although the original intention of Phoenix Car Sharing was not to make money, the current operating results have indeed exceeded expectations.

Since the effect is good, just let Song Yang try it.

"Okay, Lao Song, it's no problem to launch a two-seater version."

"You should communicate more with Li Kenan on specific matters."

"well!"

Song Yang looked excited, but he didn't expect Hu Lai to agree after thinking briefly.

After discussing the two-seater version, Hu Lai closed the data file of the shared car on his computer.

I originally thought that the car-sharing thing was over, but I didn't expect that Song Yang had other things to do.

"Boss, there is one more thing I must ask you to decide!"

"Today, our shared car development is good, but there are also some problems."

"For example, our car pick-up and drop-off points are still relatively few and far away. Many customers have expressed some inconvenience."

"If we can make an appointment to pick up a car on the mobile APP, the vehicle will automatically arrive at the designated location."

"When returning a car, you can automatically return the car directly near the return point, and the vehicle will automatically return to the return point. Then our shared cars will definitely become popular across the country!"

Auto pick-up?

Automatic return?

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment before reacting.

“Autonomous driving?”

Song Yang looked a little excited and said:

"Yes! Unmanned autonomous driving!"

"I asked Li Kenan specifically. The high-frame high-definition camera and lidar we have equipped on the 'Ephemera' can completely realize autonomous driving."

"As long as we control the speed below 30 kilometers, there will be no problem."

Low-speed unmanned autonomous driving.

Hu Lai is of course very confident in the L3 level autonomous driving in the system.
