Artificial intelligence has become a very important topic for this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, because everyone is very curious - how many people's work will artificial intelligence replace?
IBM believes that artificial intelligence is very important, and they hope that future factories will be able to combine human and machine. The co-creation of man and machine has become the future trend of the manufacturing industry. This is not because the machine will replace people, but because of the “labor shortage†– the current population is aging, young people rarely go to the factory, and work is too hard. Because of the high physical requirements, the elderly can't afford it – artificial intelligence can help these people return to work.
Tesla received a lot of attention in this topic, its founder Elon Musk also participated in Davos, and his relationship with Trump is not bad. Fortune magazine believes that Trump's administration should be Lido for Tesla, and Morgan Stanley (a financial company based in New York, USA) predicts that Tesla's stock may be up 26%.
Old American automakers are unlikely to have the same competitiveness as Tesla. Trump recently criticized Germany and other export industries, saying that the reason why the US auto industry is getting worse is that the products are getting worse and worse, and they are losing to other countries such as Germany, and the prices are getting more and more expensive. The reason why "Double B" (Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Mercedes-Benz and BMW's "B" prefix) can surpass them is that "Double B" has been continuously improving its technology.
As for Tesla, it is widely believed that other brands of electric cars around the world cannot match it. A closer look at the Industry 4.0 concept represented by Tesla, you will find that it is made by robots almost from start to finish.
Tesla's manufacturing center is located in Fremont, northern California, and covers an area of ​​465,000 square meters. It was originally owned by GM and Toyota's United Automaker. It was acquired by Tesla for $42 million in October 2010.
Tesla's vice president of manufacturing, Pasin, said that when they owned the factory, they decided to make a factory similar to "SpaceX". They painted the ceiling and the pillars in white, and then tried to let natural light shine. The whole space is bright. Because psychology says that if you need people to feel at ease, you need to make them feel that this is a textured place.
â–² The Tesla factory is not only technologically advanced, but also very humane.
The most special thing about this factory is that they can start from scratch – from the manufacture, assembly and testing of raw materials to the completion of a Tesla electric car on the road. And with the high degree of automation of industrial robots, the advanced industry 4.0 concept has been fully implemented.
Tesla factory automatic manufacturing process
The metal material is first leveled with a machine called stamping.
Laser cutting is used to cut the metal into pieces.
This piece of aluminum is transported to the production line for flattening.
Huge stamping machines basically push these aluminum out of a specific shape.
Automated work travels at a speed of compression molding every 6 seconds, and all the car parts are then concentrated in the location where the Model S is assembled, like a group of surgeons, who begin to accurately perform spot welding, riveting, around an unformed frame. glued.
Tesla has a total of five ways to connect the car body: adhesive, self-piercing and rivet, cold metal conversion, traditional welding, resistance welding spot welding system.
After the assembled car is ready, it will enter the painting stage. Two large robots, nicknamed "Wolverine" and "Iceman", will lift the entire vehicle high and accurately place it at the scheduled landing point.
The painted body will be called a "smart car" robot into the general assembly center. These robots will automatically pass through the factory according to the magnetic stripe on the ground.
There are still 3,000 employees in the factory who are responsible for installing dashboards and engines that cannot be completed by robots. Other processes are performed by about 160 robots of various sizes and functions.
One of the robots can place the seat in the Model S, and after the tool joint is replaced, the windshield can be assembled.
With the current efficiency, it takes about 3-5 days to turn a whole piece of metal into a Model S car.
In the view of Tesla's vice president of manufacturing, Pasin, this is like a work of art: "We continue to try to improve the efficiency of the entire process and advance the limits of robots and humans working together. This factory is the future of the United States and the world."
â–² Tesla's factory marks the future of the world
What if the artificial intelligence development is out of control?Tesla's positioning of its products is not just an electric car, but also a large mobile smart vehicle. With the network to make the car an experience tool that includes software, hardware and services, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, factories and vehicles will become more and more intelligent, and robots may one day completely replace human work and even take over humans.
Mask said: "After the popularity of automation technology, people can do more complicated and interesting things and enjoy more leisure time. But before that, we must figure out how to integrate advanced artificial intelligence technology with the future world. stand up.
"This is probably the hardest part. The best possible idea I can think of is to achieve democratization of artificial intelligence technology. No company or a few people can have control of advanced artificial intelligence. If artificial intelligence is dictated by some It is very dangerous for people or evil countries to send intelligence organizations to steal and control them."
â–² Musk hopes that artificial intelligence can make humans more free
Tesla and sustainable energyBut before worrying about the out of control of artificial intelligence, the situation of global warming out of control is even more urgent.
Tesla is located in the super factory in the Nevada desert in the United States. It started operation in early January. It is 100% powered by renewable energy, solar arrays are installed on the roof, and electricity is supplied and stored in batteries to provide a viable solution for sustainable human energy development. road.
The plant can produce 150 Giga (1 billion) watts of lithium batteries per year for 1.5 million Tesla vehicles.
Mask believes that the benefits of solar and batteries are to avoid building power plants. Even in remote villages, as long as there are solar and battery packs, electricity can be supplied to the village.
â–² Solar technology can bring convenience to backward areas
If large auto factories in China, the United States, and Europe can do the same, they can accelerate their conversion to sustainable energy. If the government enacts a decree that is conducive to the use of sustainable energy, we can achieve our goals faster.
If there are 100 such super battery factories in the world, it is enough to supply the energy needed by the world. Humans no longer have to rely on fossil fuels, which can save the world from the bad luck caused by global warming.

OBD:On Board Diagnostics.
One is to connect to the OBD interface of the vehicle through a special data line. Reading out the data and displaying it on the matching display screen is basically equivalent to adding a driving computer display screen. At ordinary times, the connecting cable can be plugged into the OBD interface all the time without removing it, and only the fixed display screen is needed. The owner can choose the data to be displayed by himself
