Chapter 110: Handling in Jianghai City
"As for the subsequent impact of this accident, there is no need to pay special attention to it; just let time slowly digest it."
"In the process of any industry undergoing transformation, one will always face various obstacles and various doubts; these are unavoidable."
"Even if this accident had not occurred, doubts regarding the safety of intelligent driving would eventually have been brought up for extensive discussion one day."
"However..."
"It is precisely because of such attention and supervision that everyone will more clearly recognize the powerful performance of the Xiaozhi Driving System."
Seeing Su Xin's calm reaction, Fu Benjing hesitated and said, "But, President Wang and the others are taking this matter quite seriously, because the sales of their car models equipped with intelligent driving have plummeted, and quite a few customers who placed small deposits have applied for refunds."
Su Xin waved his hand: "As long as this accident is resolved normally, that is fine. Tell them that if they feel public opinion is affecting their subsequent sales, then both sides can cancel the cooperation."
"Although I want to support Long Country car companies, there is no need to spoil any single company."
"I understand."
Fu Benjing nodded solemnly.
After hanging up the video call, Su Xin stopped paying attention to the online public opinion regarding this matter.
In fact, he had already anticipated that someone would definitely make an issue out of the traffic accident and use public opinion to suppress the safety of the Xiaozhi Driving System.
After all, the intelligent driving system is a program that controls vehicle operation and is naturally opposed to accidents; the simplest and most effective way to suppress it is to manufacture traffic accidents and exaggerate them.
Furthermore.
The Xiaozhi Driving System is far stronger than similar technologies on the market; it can almost be said to be a powerful technology that only exists in people's imaginations.
With such a significant technological leap, and one that is closely related to personal safety, it is normal for everyone to have concerns.
These all require time to be slowly digested.
It was past six o'clock in the evening.
A graceful, beautiful figure walked into Su Xin's office and smiled charmingly: "Axin, let's go."
Su Xin turned off his computer and other equipment, picked up his coat, left the company with Liu Xuewei, and arrived at an exquisite restaurant not far away.
Sitting in a warm and comfortable small private room, the two chatted while eating.
It was now deep winter, but with the warm air continuously blowing from the air conditioner, combined with the steaming hot food, the two felt a bit of stuffiness instead; they took off their coats one after another, wearing only thin shirts, and rolled up their sleeves halfway to continue eating.
At one moment, Su Xin suddenly asked casually:
"The company is going on holiday in about ten days; how do you plan to spend this year?"
"How to spend it?"
The movement of Liu Xuewei's hand paused, her gaze lifted slightly to look at Su Xin, who was eating food in large mouthfuls, and she said with a look of surprise and confusion:
"When on holiday, of course, I'm going home for the New Year."
"Can you take me to see your hometown?"
Su Xin picked up another piece of pork belly with a mix of fat and lean meat and stuffed it into his mouth, continuing to ask vaguely while chewing.
"Okay! I'm willing!"
A glimmer of excitement flashed in Liu Xuewei's eyes; she put down her chopsticks and nodded vigorously.
Over these past few months, with Liu Xuewei's multiple proactive invitations and Su Xin's multiple positive responses, the two's feelings grew deeper and deeper, slowly developing into boyfriend and girlfriend, and the things that should be done had all been done as a matter of course.
However.
Neither of them had particularly clingy personalities, so they did not move in together, but instead maintained their respective work and lives to a certain extent.
Su Xin went to work, studied, practiced martial arts, or returned to his old home to rest as he always had.
Liu Xuewei also had her own work, her own friends, and her own life.
This was a way of getting along that both were happy to accept, having both the intimacy of being in love and their own free space.
But precisely because of this, the progress of their relationship stopped at being ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend, and it was slow to develop any further.
This made Liu Xuewei a little anxious.
After all, Su Xin was a few years younger than her and was so outstanding; if the relationship wasn't completely solidified, she would always have a sense of crisis in her heart.
Especially in the last half-month, as the end of the year approached and the holiday was just around the corner, her parents would occasionally express concern about her relationship problems; after not getting a definite answer from her, they were even preparing to arrange a blind date for her, and she didn't know how to respond.
During these days.
She had been struggling in her heart, but it was not easy for her to take the initiative to propose meeting the family, just not wanting Su Xin to feel that she was deliberately applying pressure.
Now, Su Xin suddenly proposed visiting her home for the New Year, which naturally surprised her immensely!
Su Xin suddenly smiled at this moment:
"Your parents shouldn't be fierce, right?"
Liu Xuewei also laughed: "Of course they aren't fierce. Besides, if they knew I had a boyfriend as outstanding as you, who knows how happy they would be."
"That's good."
Su Xin grinned: "I haven't exercised for a few days; shall we go back and release some energy later?"
Hearing this, Liu Xuewei's ears immediately turned red, and her voice was like a mosquito's: "Mm."
The next day.
According to Fu Benjing's report, the police found that the vehicle's malfunction was indeed caused by Wang Fengchen himself.
Although the car was Wang Fengchen's own and he was the only one who suffered losses, this behavior, if one really wanted to pursue it, could count as the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous methods.
Perhaps out of maintenance for the newly promulgated policies related to intelligent driving in Long Country, or perhaps out of regard for the major enterprises of Long Country, Jianghai City filed a public prosecution against Wang Fengchen's behavior and issued a solemn announcement at the first opportunity.
This announcement immediately caused an uproar on the Long Country internet.
"I told you so! How could there be a problem with the Xiaozhi Driving System?!"
"I'm from Jinding City, and I'm also one of the first users to purchase a Goyadi intelligent driving car model. I've been using it for almost a month now, and there has never been any accident."
"Not only that, Xiaozhi can also help me avoid accidents. Once before, someone else was driving drunk and suddenly changed lanes to hit me; I didn't even see it, but Xiaozhi helped me dodge it."
"The Xiaozhi Driving System has been on the market for over a month and has never been involved in a single at-fault accident. Now that a pile-up has suddenly occurred, and it was done intentionally by someone, it is obvious that someone deliberately caused the accident to smear Xiaozhi!"
"This matter must have been done by foreign car companies, because President Su has consistently refused to license Xiaozhi for use by foreign car companies, leaving foreign cars without popularity and unwelcome."
"In order to compete, foreign car companies actually came up with such a despicable trick; it's disgusting!"
"Some of you may not know yet, but the day after this incident occurred, it already caused a sensation on the internet worldwide, and mainstream media in almost every country reported on it."
"If it weren't for foreign car companies exerting their influence, how could such an ordinary minor car accident have caused such a huge sensation so quickly?"
"The more foreign capital resists something, the more we must support it. Furthermore, Xiaozhi is a program developed by President Su, and its technology is absolutely at the pinnacle of the world; we have no reason not to support it!"
"President Su, we believe in you!"
"Xiaozhi, we support you!"
