Chapter 262: 255: Trapped in Blizzard, Evil Spirit of the Night (First Update) Chapter 262: 255: Trapped in Blizzard, Evil Spirit of the Night (First Update) The road test began at nine, but Wen Changling arrived at the Huanshan Road site at seven. This time, the test section was closed to public vehicles.

Many people surrounded the area beyond the barrier, most of them wielding cameras, belonging to the media.

“Why are there so many reporters?”

Jiang Chengxue wore a black outdoor jacket, hardly the image of a businessman, but the nature of the merchant was apparent, “For technology to be monetized, it needs to be hyped.”

Wen Changling didn’t oppose his hype, “Since we’re creating hype, let’s make it big.” She suggested, “How about you personally test the autonomous driving section?”

Jiang Chengxue countered, “Will you join me?”

A businessman is always a businessman, not giving up even the slightest advantage.

“All right.”

A car company chairman, a chief of technology, and a crowd of media made for a significant event. However, it was a win-win situation: Eastern Automobile needed to sell cars, and Huaqi Technology needed to sell systems.

Wen Changling said to Dai Qiu, “Go set it up.”

The preliminary preparations proceeded smoothly, with Wen Changling busily overseeing the arrangements, while a certain chairman lounged in an outdoor chair, wearing sunglasses, without sunlight but not lacking camera flashes.

“Director Wen.” There was a change in plans, Yun Yi came to report to Wen Changling, “The meteorological station has sent the latest news that there is a high likelihood of snowfall after four o’clock in the afternoon.”

The previous forecast had not predicted snow, but to be on the safe side, the technical team had added a weather prediction to the road test project; if it snowed, the system would automatically activate the snow mode.

“Is the forecasted snowfall within our predicted calculation range?”

Yun Yi replied, “It has exceeded by 23%.”

Artificial intelligence, like humans, also has a limit within its safety range, and if the snow is too heavy, travel is likewise inadvisable.

Since Jiang Chengxue was nearby, Wen Changling didn’t repeat the issue, “I suggest we start half an hour earlier.”

The executives and technicians of Eastern Automobile were also present, waiting without the right to speak for their boss to make a decision.

Jiang Chengxue appeared agreeable, “We’ll follow Director Wen’s lead.”

Those below went to make the arrangements.

At eight thirty, the road test began. The car Wen Changling and Jiang Chengxue rode in had, besides them, a safety officer in the passenger seat. The driver’s seat was empty, with the vehicle under full autonomous intelligent control.

After they got into the car, Wen Changling and Jiang Chengxue sat on opposite sides.
