Chapter 382 A Dinner Invitation

On the large screen, an Al-controlled vehicle-exactly like a real car-raced down the road. The simulation used the same chip and system that had been active during a recent accident.

However, the vehicle on the screen handled every road condition flawlessly, whether on mountainous terrain, flat land, or rugged water-covered paths.

When approaching another vehicle, it would slow down and give a signal. In the rain, it decelerated.

It adeptly maneuvered around obstacles and stopped patiently for pedestrians crossing the road.

In unexpected situations, it would automatically trigger an alert system.

The Al-controlled car was calm and steady yet brimming with energy. It seemed to have all the advantages of a human driver. It could overcome inertia and brake sharply, stopping as commanded with impressive agility, even in extreme situations where human intervention was required.

In the simulated experiments, the car's performance was exceptional-nearly perfect.

But then, during one of these tests, under real-world conditions, the car lost control.

Everyone watched the screen closely, not missing a single detail.

Seraphina rested her chin on her hand, her eyes fixed on the display, trying to spot anything unusual.

But every piece of data remained within normal parameters.

Across from her, Orion glanced at Seraphina before shifting his attention back to the screen.

The look in his eyes was dark as he studied the simulation and the logs of the vehicle that had gone haywire. His expression grew grimmer with each passing second.

The room was silent, save for the echo of crashing sounds from the video, a chilling reminder of the severity of the incident.

Even the representatives from Etopia were quiet.

Finally, the video ended. Someone from the other side couldn't hold back any longer. "Did anyone see anything unusual?"

"The system data shows everything is functioning properly. I don't think the problem lies with the system. Our Al technology is way ahead of anything else on the market. It's impossible for such a massive error to occur!"

"If the Al was controlling the car and the car malfunctioned, then the Al is at fault," one person said angrily.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"Your technology isn't as advanced as you claim! Don't try to confuse us with theory. If your system is so perfect, how did this accident happen?"

Another voice chimed in.

"I suggest we all calm down. Maybe we should wait for this to blow over before discussing the matter

Finished

The room erupted into chaotic discussion.

Seraphina frowned. She glanced at Orion, who sat across from her. Orion's expression was stern; his brow furrowed as he studied the video with intense focus.

From what she knew of him, if he was silent, it meant he was deep in thought. Otherwise, he would have already lost his temper.

Seraphina pressed her lips into a line as she interrupted the argument. Her voice was icy and commanding, leaving no room for objection.

"The purpose of this meeting is to investigate the cause of the accident, not to discuss damage control."

Everyone fell silent, exchanging nervous glances.

Orion's voice was sharp and cold, as he declared, "If the system data and chip logs are normal, then the only abnormal factor must be the car itself."

A hush falls over the room. All eyes turn to him, nerves on edge.

"The test car," Orion states firmly.

For a long moment, the room fell silent. Everyone was too shocked to speak but slowly began to accept his words.

"What could be wrong with the car?" someone finally asked. Someone finally asked.

Orion presses his lips together and explains, "The car was custom-made, but some of its components- specifically those integrated with the Al-came from different suppliers. Has anyone investigated that?" No one responds, but it's clear that this is a new lead, a possible breakthrough in the case.

"Meeting adjourned," Orion says, immediately shutting off the video call.

Seraphina's gaze lingers on his face, but she stays quiet. After all, she'd reached the same conclusion.

Did Orion reach the same conclusion as her? That was unexpected.

She raised an eyebrow and said, "It's likely a brake issue."

Orion smiles faintly. "Smart thinking."

Seraphina rolls her eyes. As if it wasn't obvious!

She stands up, feeling like the fog has lifted from her mind, leaving her mood much lighter.

"Want to grab dinner together?" Orion suggested.

"I've turned you down countless times. Don't you get that I don't want to eat with you?" Seraphina retorted.

Orion paused, then grinned charmingly. "I didn't know Is there something wrong with having dinner?" Seranhina has dealt with his shameless nersistence before She huffed in evasneration and strode out of
