Revisiting Future Path

Chapter 268: unmanned

268th Unmanned Driving

Secret worry in the flourishing age spread quietly and without interest.

The first thing that attracted attention was the beginning of a decline in low- and middle-end jobs in the manufacturing industry. Before December 2009, there were job opportunities everywhere in Wuping District of Panyang City. Young and strong laborers from counties, cities, and provinces in the southeast, northwest and northwest, who came to Panyang by a train ticket or a bus ticket, could enter the factory for a physical examination on the same day; After December 2009, young and strong laborers were depressed and discovered that the recruitment sites that were everywhere before suddenly disappeared. Even if they came to the human resources market in Panyang City, the demand for grassroots jobs without threshold restrictions has also significantly decreased.

The migrant workers who came to Panyang for the first time were depressed and found that it was not easy to find a job; the grass-roots employees also panicked and found that the barriers to work were getting higher and higher.

Winter is coming!

Certain occupations that are directly impacted are particularly sensitive.

For example, the impact of unmanned driving on logistics truck drivers.

Brother Ji Susu sincerely hopes that Zhuwei Group can continue its previous brilliance, because in addition to higher salaries than the industry average, Zhuwei Group's comprehensive employee benefits are in the forefront of the country. As a high school veteran, it is difficult for Ji Susu's brother to find a better job. Comparing the average income of various provinces and cities in China horizontally, he is very satisfied with the pre-tax monthly salary of 5958 yuan. If possible, Ji Susu's brother hopes to work for the Zhuwei Group until retirement.

Unfortunately, the development of the times is not shifted by personal will, and the logistics truck driver has gradually become a sunset profession.

In other words, Zhuwei Group started its unmanned driving research in early 2006, and there was little movement in 2006 and 2007. This research seemed to have no sense of existence.

After the 2008 economic crisis, the companies of the Spring and Autumn Department took advantage of the momentum to expand. Wei Dongsheng walked south of Aoyuqiao to witness the embedding in the automobile manufacturing field during the four trillion plan period, becoming a part of the national "Auto Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan." In February 2009, before Huaguo South Automobile was renamed Huaguo Changan Automobile Group, Chunqiu Group, Zhuwei Group, Zhiyu Group, and Zhixing Group jointly purchased and reorganized certain fixed assets of Huaguo South Automobile in Panyang City. , A joint venture established Panyang Automobile Group.

The first project after the reorganization of Panyang Automobile Group was the research and development of unmanned trucks. Unmanned driving research was then raised to a strategic high and suddenly broke into the vision of the people of Panyang City. At the beginning of the year, Panyang Municipal Government fully cooperated with Panyang Automobile Group’s unmanned truck project. Considering that the complex road conditions conflict between unmanned driving and normal driving could not be resolved in a short period of time, the infrastructure of the industrial manufacturing park was comprehensively newly added. Man driving lane. In the new streets of the industrial manufacturing park, the driverless lanes prohibit natural persons from driving and pedestrians crossing, and driverless trucks automatically shuttle between related companies.

At first, Ji Susu and other old drivers used unmanned driving as a joke, and ridiculed that the complicated road conditions could be handled by a few chips?

However, unmanned driving is the general trend.

From January to January, the driverless trucks developed by Panyang Automobile became more and more mature; and as time passed, Ji Susu's brother smiled less and less. There is still a need for logistics truck drivers, but the number required in the future is destined to be greatly reduced. Especially for short-distance logistics in customs bonded areas and other places, more and more logistics truck drivers are assigned to unmanned trucks, and older drivers like Ji Susu's brother are gradually being driven to long-distance business.

The long-distance truck business is a shortcoming of unmanned driving, because there are no unmanned channels along the highways, and the current national policy does not allow unmanned trucks to mix and match with vehicles driven by natural persons. In a short period of time, unmanned driving cannot replace logistics truck drivers. Brother Ji Susu does not have to worry about unemployment, but what about the future?

What about after five years?

What about ten years later?

Seeing the unmanned trucks walking in the unmanned dedicated passages in an orderly manner, Ji Susu's brother couldn't help but tremble in his heart, seriously doubting how long the logistics truck driver can do the job.

Smart factories and unmanned trucks do not reduce job opportunities across the board. They reduce certain low-end jobs and generate new job demands. The problem is that the threshold for new jobs is relatively high, and at least elementary school dropouts cannot start on the same day of the physical examination. Just as the new jobs created by the steam engine technology revolution and the electrical technology revolution have new requirements for employees, the employees required by smart factories and driverless trucks are also “high-quality” employees who can adapt to the new era.

Brother Ji Susu is experiencing a mid-life crisis. Although he feels that the times are urging people forward, he is at a loss as to how to adapt to the new era.

Ji Susu is the pride of the family.

Ji Susu’s brother and sister-in-law didn’t know what Ji Susu’s work was doing, but they were able to measure Ji Susu’s value by money in compliance with the laws of market economy. In 2010, the new standard work treatment was Ji Susu's monthly salary of 25,000 yuan before tax, and another six months of basic salary at the end of the year, totaling 364,000 yuan of annual salary before tax. After Ji Susu’s elder brother had been in the society for many years after he was discharged from the army, he was lucky enough to get a pre-tax job of 5,958 yuan with Ji Susu’s personal connections. On the other hand, Ji Susu, just half a year after graduation, earned more than five times the annual salary of her brother.

In the eyes of Ji Susu's brother, Ji Susu's sister-in-law, Ji's father, Ji's mother and other family members, Ji Susu is a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and a phoenix flying out of the chicken coop. The social value and social status quietly offset the age defect. Ji Susu’s brother felt that his future was confused, and he first subconsciously asked his sister for help: "Susu, what do you think of the prospects for the driverless trucks that Chunqiu Search and Panyang Motors have? Unmanned driving is eliminated?"

Ji Susu is working on a brain-computer interface project and is not aware of the progress of unmanned driving research.

However, Ji Susu didn't have the words mechanically deadlocked. Ji Susu is aware of the limited vision of her parents and brothers. Just as people often misunderstand that programmers must be good at repairing computers, it is difficult for her to explain clearly to her parents and brothers and sisters the industry barriers between brain-computer interfaces and autonomous driving. Ji Susu made a judgment by squeezing the only knowledge base and comforted his brother, saying: "Within five years, it will be difficult for long-distance logistics truck drivers to be eliminated."

Brother Ji Susu was not curious to ask how Ji Susu made this judgment, and continued to ask: "What about five years from now?"

Ji Susu shook his head: "Now, the speed of technological development is getting faster and faster. Take our brain-computer interface as an example, Nezha 0912 outperforms Nezha 0907 by ten times, and the upcoming new model outperforms Nezha 0912 ten times, everyone. It is even optimistic that a reliable and practical brain-computer interface solution will be developed within ten years. In the world within five years, I can still barely say one, two, three, four and five. The future world after five years is already I can't imagine it."

Ji Susu's sister-in-law asked for help on her behalf: "Susu, what do you say to your brother?"

Ji Susu pondered for a while: "When I have time, I will learn about the progress of unmanned driving. When the results are obtained, we will study to let my brother continue to study and refine, or change careers in advance."

Ji Susu's sister-in-law: "Okay."

When I was young in my hometown in the countryside, my relatives and friends often laughed and laughed until the Lantern Festival. Today, Dad Ji, Mommy, Brother Ji Susu, and sister-in-law Ji Susu all have regular jobs. After the 7th National Holiday ends and the Spring Festival ends, everyone is returning to normal work rhythm.

After Ji Susu's family moved to a centralized housing for farmers, the distance from Wei Manman's home in the old site of Wuping County suddenly became closer. Wei Manman was bored with the preaching of Man Man’s parents. During the annual vacation, he ran out. A total of seven days of national holiday during the Spring Festival, Wei Manman stuck Ji Susu for three days. Wei Manman felt that the start of school was still very early, and he ran to the Third Spring and Autumn Institute of Science in Shigan District with Ji Susu.

February 20, 2010, the first day of work in the new year.

Because Wei Manman lived in the house, Ji Susu's washing time was much slower. But it doesn't matter. Spring and Autumn search technology positions all have flexible working hours, and employees can arrive or retire early. For example, in 2009, Ji Susu had very irregular work breaks. From time to time, he checked in at 7 or 8 in the evening, and then stayed on until 10 or 12 the next day. In the past, it does not matter if Ji Susu accompanies Wei Manman to work until noon.

Today is a little different.

Just after eight o'clock in the clock hand, Ji Susu was brushing his teeth while squatting in the toilet in an extremely impersonal way, when the phone bell suddenly rang.

Wei Manman languidly grabbed the phone, and immediately rubbed his eyes, reminding Ji Susu in the bathroom with a loud voice: "Susu, it's Wei Dongsheng's call."

Ji Susu stopped brushing his teeth: "Get it for me."

Wei Manman ran to the bathroom and found Ji Susu squatting on the toilet, holding a water glass in his left hand and a toothbrush in his right hand, so he decided to turn on the sound. Wei Dongsheng's voice immediately sounded from the bathroom: "Is Ji Susu here?"

Ji Susu: "It's here."

Wei Dongsheng: "Susu, can you come to the three institutes today (the Third Spring and Autumn Research Institute)?"

Ji Susu quickly explained: "I'm brushing my teeth and washing my face, and I'll be over in a while."

Wei Dongsheng: "Well, you will come directly to Building 34 from Gate 6 in a moment. I have something to tell you."

Ji Susu: "Good."

Feeling that something has happened, Wei Manman said hello before Wei Dongsheng hung up: "Wei Dongsheng, do you remember me?"

Wei Dongsheng, who was on the other side of the phone, was surprised to suspend the action of hanging up: "You are with Ji Susu now."

Wei Manman: "Well, Lutong University started school on March 9th. I simply ran to Shigan and looked for Susu to play for two days. In other words, I came here a year ago. At that time, Susu said that you were personally Leading the Spring and Autumn Security Butler to resist the Eternal Red variant virus crisis, I didn't dare to disturb you. Now, are you still working on this?"

Wei Dongsheng: "The Eternal Red Incident is almost over."

Wei Manman: "Oh, the news broadcast the day before yesterday said that the eternal red variant virus crisis of the mobile Internet has been brought under control. I didn't believe it at the time. I thought about it for a while. But even you said it was almost over. It's over. Hey, it's rare that you have just finished your work, do you have time to meet? I'm very curious about your bald head."
