399: When the will-o'-the-wisp sounds, your parents raise you in vain
The netizens in the live broadcast room were furious.
"I think Old Li's taxi experience is already much better than previous taxi experiences. Anyone with a clear eye knows to choose wisely: obey traffic rules, don't take detours, and don't have road rage. He's simply a model among taxi drivers."
"Then if there's a car accident, whose responsibility is it? Don't tell me they'll push the blame onto the passenger, that would be ridiculous."
"Nonsense, do you think they wouldn't have thought of what someone with your IQ can think of? Radish Run and Fenglei are definitely responsible for this; they're all insured. If something happens, they should be responsible; there will absolutely be no shifting of blame."
Just as the netizens were arguing heatedly.
A deafening roar of a motorcycle came from beside them.
Old Li couldn't help but be stunned; after all, Wu Du had banned motorcycles for a long time.
What was going on?
Looking at the bullet comments in the live broadcast, some well-informed netizens had already recognized it.
"Oh my god, Ghost Fire Teenagers!!!"
When the Ghost Fire roars, parents' efforts are wasted.
The issue of Ghost Fire Teenagers causing disturbances on the streets has been repeatedly banned but never stopped over the years, becoming a headache for traffic management departments.
No way.
These problem teenagers, even if caught causing disturbances, are usually just given an education and released because they are minors. The next time, they'll be back.
"These little brats really don't know what's good for them. There are often reports of Ghost Fire accidents. Why do they never learn?"
"Given the traffic in Wu Du, if these Ghost Fires block the road and encounter a hot-tempered driver, how is that any different from lighting a powder keg?"
"They're all driving with their lives on the line!!!"
"Wow, these Little Yellow Hairs's skills are pretty good; their poses are super cool."
"Yeah, this is too flashy. When I was young, my dream was to become a Ghost Fire, but unfortunately, I didn't dare after my dad broke my leg."
Clearly, this scene brought back memories for some people.
Old Li was about to say something when he heard a loud bang.
Bang!!
Looking up, he saw flames soaring into the sky and thick smoke rolling in front of them.
He focused his gaze.
Not far away, Little Yellow Hairs lay on the ground, and motorcycle parts were scattered everywhere.
"?????"
"66666!!"
"Haha, did he drop his ultimate gear??"
"So, is it still cool? Is it flashy??"
"Tsk tsk, when the Ghost Fire roars, parents' efforts are wasted!!"
"Everyone, be more considerate. Quickly tell Old Li to call 120!!"
Seeing this, Old Li quickly pulled out his phone to call the police.
Just then, Radish Run suddenly accelerated and made a sharp turn.
Old Li quickly looked up and saw an out-of-control dump truck rapidly approaching them.
Nani?
Was their luck that bad??
Old Li instantly panicked.
After all, this was an autonomous vehicle. If it were a normal driver, they would have fled in the car long ago.
But who would have thought, Radish Run actually started to accelerate.
At this moment, the bullet comments in the live broadcast room also started to flood in.
"Old Li, run!!!"
"He wants to run, but conditions don't allow it. The autonomous taxi won't open its doors midway until it reaches its destination."
"But what's going on with this 'Radish Run'? Why did it suddenly accelerate and change lanes??"
"It seems to be trying to avoid that dump truck. Is autonomous driving technology that smart??"
"No way, machines are dead; how could they have the ability to deal with such sudden situations like humans?"
"Wow, the style is like an American sci-fi blockbuster. Is this a script??"
"Who the hell uses human lives as a script? Didn't you see that Ghost Fire is lying on the ground twitching? He's probably not going to make it."
"Then there's nothing we can do. We can only wish the streamer good health."
...
At this moment.
Old Li was on the verge of tears. He just wanted to ride the wave of autonomous taxis.
Who would have thought that after a safe journey, he would encounter the extremely rare Ghost Fire Teenagers?
When these kids go crazy, they can hit 150 mph. It would be strange if nothing happened.
Sure enough.
There was a car accident, right? Although he wouldn't have to go to jail, he'd have to treat the whole village to a meal.
Even more unlucky was himself, getting caught in the crossfire.
With a dump truck crashing at such speed, wouldn't it be a total wreck with fatalities??
Just as Old Li was lamenting his ill-fated destiny, Radish Run suddenly performed an inertia drift.
Then he saw the dump truck narrowly miss them, directly crashing into a utility pole by the side of the road.
The terrifying force directly snapped the utility pole in half.
"Dear passenger, you have safely arrived at your destination. Please open the door and exit. We wish you a pleasant journey."
The mechanical female voice echoed softly.
Old Li was stunned for a moment, then hastily got out of the car.
He looked at the two accidents not far away, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
The netizens in the live broadcast room instantly exploded!!
"Holy cow, this is possible??"
"This 'Radish Run' is too amazing. Are you sure there's no one controlling it from the backend??"
"Someone definitely intervened. Otherwise, from the acceleration and lane change just now, avoiding the dump truck, to the precise prediction of the dump truck's trajectory and the drift parking at the end, it's simply incredible."
"Before, it accurately judged road conditions, which was one thing, but this time it actually avoided danger in just a few seconds. This is not something an ordinary driver can do."
"So exciting, Old Li, quickly order another ride! I haven't seen enough yet!!"
"You guys are all so mean. Old Li is probably scared stiff right now; it's hard for him to even get on a bed, let alone ride in a car."
"You guys are really heartless. I'm different, Old Li Bro, why don't you take a ride to the construction site entrance? There are more dump trucks there..."
"Stop talking, this is Old Li Bro's live broadcast room. Today's title is 'First Person to Witness Autonomous Taxi Drama.' Hurry up, order another ride!"
Looking at the number of viewers in the live broadcast room, it had directly soared to five digits because of the car accident just now, and it was still showing a trend of further increase.
Old Li was incredibly excited.
As a blogger who had been active on the internet for many years, he realized this was an unprecedented stroke of luck.
Although in his mind.
The scene of almost being run over by the dump truck was still vivid, and his legs were still trembling, Old Li still decided to order another ride, choosing to return the same way.
"Dear passenger, please scan your face to board."
Less than two minutes after he placed the order, an autonomous taxi appeared in front of him.
Old Li instantly had a misconception, could it be the same one as before??
It looked too similar.
He checked the license plate, but it wasn't.
The reason it looked similar was that they were all new cars and didn't have a uniform color.
Old Li was slightly disappointed, but he still got in.
The bullet comments in the live broadcast room became lively again.
"Hehe, there's a good show to watch!"
"Charge, charge, charge! I want to see the accident scene!!"
"How do you know it will definitely pass by the accident scene this time?"
"I wonder if the ambulance has arrived. That Ghost Fire is probably in grave danger."
"Given the road conditions in Wu Du, the ambulance will take at least an hour."
"Sigh, if ambulances also used autonomous driving, maybe they would have arrived already."
"Look, the ambulance really hasn't arrived. There's a pile of cars blocking the way up ahead."
