1866 Ethical Issues of Automobiles

After two days, Chen Yi was basically in the new energy vehicle manufacturing base in the past two days, because the personnel of Beiling Laboratory developed a new electronic control system and a braking system based on the original automobile system.

The new car has been reinstalled on the basis of the appearance of the new car, and the vehicle computer has also been upgraded.

"I can drive this time, right?"

Chen Yi asked.

"no!"

Chai Yong opposed it without thinking.

A technician is still responsible for driving operations, and Chen Yi can only watch.

The vehicle stability and handling after re-made the system have improved a lot, and this technician also tried the functions of autonomous driving.

The experimental results basically met the expected requirements. The most important thing is to improve the brake system, and the automatic brake system after automatic resolution is added.

However, this automatic brake system finally had problems.

"Bang!"

The electric car hit the protection side at a speed of 40 kilometers, and the vehicle overturned directly.

"Hurry, save people!"

Chai Yong shouted.

The technician in the car was rescued, and there was no big deal.

"What's going on? Are you okay?"

Chen Yi came over and asked.

"Mr. Yan, I'm fine... I discovered a huge problem. There is an ethical difference in the vehicle's automatic brake system!"

Technician answered.

"What? You say it again? Why does an electric car have ethical problems?"

Chen Yi was inexplicably confused.

"I just tried the automatic brake program under special road conditions. The automatic brake did not brake, but adopted the method of protecting the driver. In the end, I could only brake manually, which led to a crash!"

Technician answered.

“What’s wrong with protecting the driver?”

Chen Yi asked strangely.

"Mr. Yan, you still don't understand one problem, that is, in some cases, such as brakes will cause the driver to die, and pedestrians in front of the vehicle will die if they do not brake!"

"The vehicle's driving computer will be indecisive. This time, the vehicle computer tends to protect the angle of the car driver, so the pedestrians just died, but this tendency is not artificially controlled, so we cannot judge whether the driving computer will always have this tendency..."

The technician explained in detail.

Chen Yi was stunned. This is so fucking...

It is really wrong to say that such a situation is an ethical issue. At that time, everyone will be controlled by a driving computer. How do you choose the computer?

"What do you think?"

He turned his head and asked the researchers in Beiling Laboratory.

"We unanimously believe that the current situation is the best option to protect the driver!"

Personnel from Beiling Laboratory answered unanimously.

"But if this is the case, then what's the use of automatic brakes? There is no need for such things at all. Instead, it will disperse the battery power of the car. We can brake manually, and if we can't brake, we can brake. If we can't brake, we will die anyway..."

The technicians at the car base objected.

"Our choice is also based on guarantees for users... The safety of users is guaranteed, so that they will consider our car!"

Laboratory staff explained.

"Then have you considered the negative harm that hitting and killing pedestrians to users?"

The technician at the car base asked.

The people on both sides started arguing in front of Chen Yi. Chen Yi remained silent, and he was also thinking about this matter.

"Okay, don't act in front of me. Shouldn't you have finished arguing about this kind of problem when you are developing it?"

Chen Yi finally spoke.

Everyone on both sides stopped and looked at Chen Yi together.

"You just want me to make the final decision, right? Then I ask you... what is the probability of such extreme situations?"

Chen Yi asked.

"About one ten thousand!"

A technician said.

"The probability is one in ten thousand, so once this happens, the driving computer chooses to protect the driver, so how successful is the driver's choice of manual brake?"

Chen Yi continued to ask.

"It can probably reduce the chance of unexpected rescue in half!"

The technician also responded quickly.

It is obvious that Chen Yi has thought about the question he asked many times.

"Then what else is there to hesitate? Use all means to designate the priority protection object of automatic brakes in this special case as the vehicle driver!"

"Then on this basis, increase the reliability of manual operations, the greater the better..."

"You must know that a large part of the reason for the sudden car accident is caused by pedestrians' failure to comply with traffic regulations. We cannot guarantee the interests of others at the expense of users. In the face of life, we must give priority to our users!"

Chen Yi said in a deep voice.

With his words, the tone is set.

The technicians on both sides immediately met again and continued to study and solve this problem.

"Mr. Yan, I have recruited newcomers to design the first batch of vehicle exterior and interior design drawings. Do you have a look?"

Chai Yong walked to Chen Yi and asked.

"good!"

Chen Yi nodded.

The two of them came to the design department, and Chen Yi picked up a design drawing and looked at it.

“Who designed this?”

He asked.

A young man stood up and he seemed a little nervous.

"It's me!"

When he answered, he even raised his hand.

"Very good! It has a sense of déjà vu, and it is not without being thick and steady... Have you connected with the craft department to see the rationality of this design?"

Chen Yi spoke.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief in an instant.

"Not yet... we designed a total of ten design drawings, all of which were all referenced to the advantages and disadvantages of various models, and then brainstormed them!"

"We plan to wait until these design drawings are passed, and then connect with the process department to see. If we need to modify some unreasonable parts, we can make changes together!"

He explained to Chen Yi.

"May I have your name?"

Chen Yi asked.

"My name is Wang Bin!" the young man in front of him replied.

Chai Yong stood beside Chen Yi and looked at Wang Bin.

"Mr. Yan, this young man is very good... not only has the talent for design but also has certain leadership skills. The design of these drawings is basically made by him leading others!"

He whispered a reminder.

Chen Yi nodded slightly.

"Wang Bin, from today on you will serve as the acting supervisor of the technical department of the new energy vehicle manufacturing base... If the company finds that you can do this job through inspection, then you will be directly promoted to the official supervisor in three months!"

"Other companies will also conduct assessments at the same time. The design department will be completely independent of the company in the future. You all have huge room for promotion. I hope you will seize this opportunity and work hard!"

He directly issued a personnel appointment.

Wang Bin was stunned. He had no idea that Chen Yi would throw a huge pie directly on his head.

"What are you doing while standing stupidly? Don't you thank Mr. Yan?"

Chai Yong reminded with a smile.
