The story began in the 1930s.
70km northwest of London, there is a manor with Gothic, Tudor and Baroque styles, which is called Blackley Park.
The manor was built in 1883 and was originally the residence of Sir Herbert Leon. In 1930s, the clouds of war hung over Western Europe, and a large number of linguists, electrical engineers, radio experts and even chess masters began to gather here. The manor is nominally a radio factory, but in fact it is the "strategic weapons research and development center" of the British army.
1939, alan turing, who was only 27 years old, participated in the activities of Brecci Lai Manor. This "human super brain" team formed the strongest intelligence decoding department in the history of the British Empire, with more than ten divisions!
Here, in order to decipher the German cryptographer Enigma, the team led by Turing finally built the world's first electronic computer-Colossus, in which the MK2 version developed in 1944 can decipher1copies of German intelligence every hour.
These accurate information saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of allied soldiers, helped the allies destroy thousands of German warships and fighter planes, contributed to the Normandy landing and the opening of the second battlefield in Europe, and helped mankind liberate Europe.
The birth of the "giant" computer represents the first time that mankind has opened a "God's perspective" on the sand table of war.
Alan turing, a great mathematician, was called "the father of computers" by later generations.
He also has a far-reaching title-"Father of Artificial Intelligence".
We won't elaborate on what happened later. For details, please watch the British film "The Imitation Game" starring Fu Juan.
From "God Perspective" to "Necessity of War"
With the end of World War II, the mission of electronic computers has not ended, but has just begun. The "God's perspective" of computers and artificial intelligence has made Europe and America taste the sweetness, so it has become a "necessity of war".
The symbol of the first industrial revolution was "making machines with machines", and the symbol of the era of "artificial intelligence" was "letting machines learn to think".
From 65438 to 0946, the University of Pennsylvania released the world's first general-purpose computer ENIAC. ENIAC is programmable and conforms to Turing completeness, that is, all computable problems can be calculated in theory.
This thinking machine is not a messenger of peace, it is a combination of God and death. Because this "electric tiger" with 200,000 times of manual computing power can provide fast and accurate ballistic calculation for its behind-the-scenes father, the US Army Ballistics Research Laboratory, for developing missiles.
1950, Turing published two important papers. Can machines think? Can a machine think? ) and "Computing Machine and Intelligence", and put forward the famous "Turing Test" experiment to identify whether this machine is artificial intelligence.
1956, another superstar in the field of artificial intelligence, Marvin Minsky, together with john mccarthy and C.E. claude shannon, launched the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence, and formally put forward the concept of "artificial intelligence" (AI), which marked the birth of artificial intelligence.

In the same year, the world's first artificial intelligence laboratory-MIT artificial intelligence laboratory (now CSAIL) was officially put into operation.
Today's CSAIL building at MIT
Since 1956, human beings have begun to imagine making more machines with the abilities of perception, cognition, intelligence, intuition, creativity, emotion and emotion, which can automatically complete tasks that are usually thought to be completed by only human beings.

They will be collectively referred to as AI, a thinking machine.
From "Necessity of War" to "Necessity of Scientific Research"
After 1956, human beings began to be fascinated by artificial intelligence, which changed from a necessity of war to a necessity of scientific research.
With the help of the super computing power of artificial intelligence, human beings have stepped into the scientific research stage of "Automatic Theorem Proof (ATP)" and proved mathematical theorems by electronic computers. The classic successful examples in the past decades include: four-color theorem (1976), backgammon (1988), nonexistence of finite projective plane of order 10 (1989), Kepler conjecture (1998).
Four-color theorem (four-color theorem)
Under the guidance of a group of wise men in China, the new China, which used his quick wits, also took the first step in the field of artificial intelligence research.
1964, New China successfully developed China's first all-transistor electronic computer, model 441-B.
As the strongest of the two superpowers, the United States has always been a pioneer in computer technology and artificial intelligence.
1954, the world's first programmable industrial robot was born, and the hero was American George Devol.
1964, the artificial intelligence laboratory of Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed the world's first chat robot ELIZA. Humans and artificial intelligence used words for the first time in history. Eliza's development leader is Joseph Weizenbaum.
1968, Stanford research institute in the United States developed the world's first robot Shakey, which can judge and move by itself. It has the ability of self-perception such as vision and hearing, and can analyze the environment, plan the route and move by itself.
Half a century later, it has become a new member of artificial intelligence in our family-sweeping robot.
Another milestone of artificial intelligence lies in1July 20th, 969.
On this day, Apollo 1 1 spacecraft completed the first human mission to the moon.
It was the Apollo navigation computer produced by MIT that led the three human warriors to the Moon Jinghai Base.
Don't look at the moon landing computer developed by Americans. Its computing power is not as strong as the bully learning machine you played when you were a child. In fact, it is already the strongest computing machine produced by the strongest think tank in the world, and its code set is as high as Miss MIT Lab as shown below:
Landing on the moon is a big step for human beings and artificial intelligence.
Without computers and artificial intelligence, it is impossible for human beings to reach the surface of the moon accurately and return safely.
With the help of computer technology, the Apollo program in the United States has made mankind see the future.
From "scientific research necessities" to "commercial necessities"
1980, "expert system" finally entered the commercialization stage. The first enterprise to use commercial computer "expert system" XCON was Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) of the United States. The system they bought has 95-95% decision accuracy, saving the company 40 million dollars every year.
The artificial intelligence system with such remarkable economic benefits has actually gone through 15 years of early brewing and repeated trial and error.
A mature expert system = high-precision knowledge base+inference engine responsible for drawing conclusions+user interface convenient for users to communicate with the system.
"Expert system" can significantly improve the professional problems in narrow fields, greatly improve the quality and speed of decision-making, cut off the high expert consultation fees, provide consistent answers to repeated questions, and avoid taking care of their emotions while avoiding five insurances and one gold.
For this reason, "expert system", an artificial intelligence decision-making system, has been integrated into numerous commercial activities, such as information management, performance evaluation, maintenance judgment, medical diagnosis, warehouse optimization, production monitoring, stock market trading, financial decision-making, loan analysis, and aviation timetable formulation.
The following are some common expert systems:
Mycomycin: Use artificial intelligence to identify the bacteria causing acute infection and automatically recommend the type and dosage of antibiotics.
DENDRAL: Using artificial intelligence to carry out chemical analysis and predict molecular structure.
ExSys: an expert system development tool developed in the United States.
Siri: The most familiar is the artificial intelligence assistant software built into Apple's iOS system.
From "commercial necessities" to "daily necessities"
According to Gordon Moore's Moore's Law: "Under the condition of constant price, every 18-24 months, the number of components that an integrated circuit can accommodate will double and its performance will double."
In other words: every 18-24 months, the computer performance (artificial intelligence computing power) corresponding to each purchasing power will double.
When artificial intelligence goes from commercial to civilian use, we must thank a series of chip designers and manufacturers such as NVIDIA, Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, Huawei Hisilicon, TSMC and Apple.
"Deep Blue" beat the champion of human chess, microcomputers entered thousands of households, AlphaGo beat the champion of human Go, smart phones were affordable for everyone, smart wearable devices became popular all over the world, smart home appliances spread all over the market, and the real economy gradually turned to virtual economy. ...
Artificial intelligence has changed from a "commercial necessity" to a "daily necessity".
Nowadays, it is extremely common and simple to ask Siri to help check the stock market and hum a song "California Guest House". In fact, the field of artificial intelligence has gone through more than 70 years of iteration, and finally today's results have been achieved.
In the sacred land of the East, China, the wise never fall behind. On May 3rd, 20 18, China Academy of Sciences released the first cloud artificial intelligence chip in China, with a theoretical peak speed of 128 trillion fixed-point operations per second, reaching the world advanced level.
When domestic products are self-reliant, we have gradually changed from followers to parallel walkers, and in some fields, we have become leaders. This field worth mentioning is smart cars.
Artificial intelligence giants in the automotive field such as Tesla autopilot system, Google Waymo autopilot system, BMW autopilot system and Audi autopilot system have occupied the fast lane of overseas markets. As the largest automobile production and marketing market in the world, China also has its own unique and correct development path-making the cockpit intelligent and driving convenient.
The First Corps of China Smart Cars, led by Weimar, Weilai, Tucki, BYD, Baidu and Huawei, took the lead in the field of intelligent cockpit and automatic driving. The first strength group of smart cars strongly launched the Weimar EX5-Z model, so that civilian cars can also listen to the gospel of artificial intelligence system.
The official positioning of Weimar EX5-Z is "zero-contact intelligent interactive pure electric SUV", in which "Z" represents the mentality of Pan-Z generation, and this "intelligent expert" of EX5-Z will bring more comprehensive intelligent driving experience to Pan-Z generation.
At the same time, this "Z" also stands for "zero touch", which is not an illusory concept, but a true practice of the product concept of "lazy technology", allowing users to "talk and never start work", easily control the vehicle, and truly help users realize the automobile life of "knowing you in seconds and being anxious about you".
Therefore, Weimar EX5-Z provides two series of "zero contact" artificial intelligence technologies for valued users-"fun outside the car, zero contact"&; "The sense of intelligence in the car is on the verge of zero contact."
The fun outside the car is imminent.
Weimar EX5-Z is equipped with a concealed electric door handle. As long as the user uses the intelligent key to approach the door, the vehicle immediately senses that the owner is approaching the door, and the hidden electric doorknob will automatically unlock and bounce off, realizing "zero contact" in opening the door, as well as lower wind resistance, longer battery life and high-end technology.
When the user leaves intelligent key more than 2.5 meters away from the vehicle, the vehicle will automatically sense that the owner no longer uses the vehicle, and automatically control the safety system to lock it. The light-emitting sign in front of the vehicle will remind the user to lock the car by flashing the gradual color (the same is true for unlocking), and the user will no longer have to go back to the parking lot to check the locking situation. All obsessive-compulsive disorder of "suspecting forgetting to lock the car" will be cured by intelligent technology.
Weimar EX5-Z is also equipped with Bluetooth key function. Users only need to download Xiao Wei's accompanying mobile APP with their smart phones, and the smart phones change the smart Bluetooth car keys every second to achieve zero contact.
The industry's first intelligent interactive dynamic life logo+ voice interactive function outside the car. The luminous logo in front of the car can realize the flashing welcome function, the charging progress prompt function, the car unlocking reminder function, and can also interact with the car system in real time by voice, which is both fashionable and respectful.
Weimar EX5-Z comes standard with hands-free induction electric tailgate. If it is inconvenient for the user to open the tailgate with both hands, when intelligent key is close to the vehicle 1.5m, the user only needs to kick the tailgate with his foot in the sensing area, and the system will automatically open the tailgate, thus realizing an all-round "zero-contact" intelligent interactive experience outside the vehicle.
In-car intelligence, instant touch
Speaking of the "zero contact" artificial intelligence technology in the car, how can we get the "AI Serena voice interactive system"? During driving, AI Xiao Wei Voice Butler will automatically complete the on-board function operation according to the user's voice command, so that the driver can concentrate on driving and protect the safety of all traffic participants. More importantly, this system also has AI Serena voice butler service, which is available 24 hours a day, so that you will never be disconnected in the Internet age.
In terms of car audio-visual entertainment, Weimar EX5-Z is equipped with 12.8-inch floating intelligent rotating screen, and equipped with a large number of free resources car audio-visual entertainment systems including iQiyi, QQ music and Himalaya. , not only provides lifetime free traffic, but also supports the synchronization of historical playback information and preferences of different terminals, bringing exactly the same experience as mobile phones and bringing users real home theater-like audio-visual enjoyment.
Weimar EX5-Z also has an artificial intelligence stunt, which is the "car-home interconnection" function interconnected with Mijia intelligent hardware ecosystem. Through the "Car Home Interconnection" function of Serena's accompanying mobile APP, users can bind Mijia account and realize intelligent query and remote control through voice or Mijia service. The smart home products connected with it reach 30 kinds in 8 categories.
In this special period, Weimar EX5-Z has built a "CleanPro Health First Class" with the newly upgraded CN95 micron air high-efficiency filtration system, the first vehicle-level UVC induction cabin cleaning system, AQS outdoor air quality detection, negative ion air purification and PM2.5 active monitoring, so as to protect the health of all passengers.
Speaking of artificial intelligence, how can I get the autopilot module? Weimar EX5-Z is equipped with L2 Living Pilot intelligent assistant system, which can keep the normal driving path under complicated driving conditions, difficult parking environment, sudden bad weather and "distracted driving", making driving easy and safe.
In addition, Weimar EX5-Z is equipped with APA automatic parking function. The system can automatically identify the parking space through parking radar, and use artificial intelligence (similar to expert system) to evaluate the potential obstacles in the environment, calculate the parking trajectory, automatically park in the parking space, and truly achieve worry-free parking.
Since when has artificial intelligence become our daily necessity?
Since the price of artificial intelligence technology falls into the range of consumer goods, artificial intelligence has become our daily necessity.
The first universal computer, ENIAC, weighed 3 1 ton, but its computing power was far less than our little overlord learning machine, but it was a money-burning monster that the US Army could only afford.
Today, a "zero-contact intelligent interactive pure electric SUV" full of the latest scientific and technological achievements of artificial intelligence only needs 149800 yuan.
Weimar's product philosophy of "lazy technology" allows us to live a car life of "knowing you in one second without anxiety", and the starting point of all this is Bresher Manor, 70 kilometers northwest of London in the 1930s, where there is a secret of wisdom, leading mankind to a bright future.
