Blitz lights from the media crew's cameras filled the hall as Daniel, Umbara's CFO, gave his welcome and greetings. Arion asked his cousin to participate in it. While the ranks of the other Umbara Corporation officials mingled with the invited guests.
"Without linger, let's welcome Mr. Arion Raditya Umbara, as CEO and Project Leader Earlene." The applause of the guests and the media crew continued to echo.
Arion walked out from the backstage gallantly. He stopped right next to Daniel. As soon as they shook hands and hugged each other, Daniel left the stage.
Arion cleared his throat to minimize his nervousness. Understandably, this is the first time he has appeared live on television. So as much as possible he should be able to master this event well until it is finished.
"Without lingering again, now let's welcome a new breakthrough from Umbara Corporation. The latest smart car with self rescue technology." The giant screen behind Arion splits in two, showing a unit of SUV with the name Earlene Fe, parked on stage.
Arion deliberately named the car the same as his AI, as a form of personal appreciation for the late wife Danu.
Arion walked up to the car and stroked it lightly. "This is the first SUV to have self-rescue technology" Arion said, snapping his finger.
A human-sized tube came out from under the stage. Inside the tube was a hologram robot, Earlene, who was 'asleep'.
Arion took the small remote from inside his suit pocket and pressed one of the buttons there.
Earlene immediately opened her eyes. "Hello, introduce me to Earlene, who will guide your journey and your family to stay safe and in control. Can I help you?"
The applause of the guests filled the hall.
"Earlene is an artificial intelligence technology that is embedded in our latest car output, to minimize accidents. He can detect abnormal vibrations that occur in the car, moments before the accident occurs." Arion said he started the conversation. "However, if an accident is unavoidable, the Earlene system without wasting time will instantly scan the condition of the passengers' bodies very accurately. If the car is still in good condition, but the condition of passengers must immediately get action, then Earlene will automatically immediately take over the wheel and go to the nearest hospital. Simultaneously, he would also contact the nearest police station."
"Then what about TKP if the car just leaves? And what can the car do when it gets to the hospital, while the drivers are unconscious?" Arion opened his voice again, when he saw the invited guests talking to each other.
Arion pressed one of the other buttons on the remote he held. Illustrated image of Earlene scanning the condition of the passengers' bodies and recording them into the system, clearly displayed on one of the monitors. "After arriving at the hospital, the medics, guided by Earlene, just had to touch the button that was on the dashboard of the car. A hologram screen will come out and display all the data about the condition of the passengers." Evidently.
"It's also very useful for riders who have a history of the disease and like to travel alone." Arion was silent for a moment before continuing his explanation.
"As for the CPI, Earlene will record every detail of the incident very accurately, then send it to the police database." Arion turned his gaze to the invited guests.
"To make it easier to understand, we will practice it directly." Arion took two steps back and pressed the button again. The large screen that originally split back closed.
The screen now displays live footage outside the Umbara Corporation building. Danu, the originator of the Earlene project, from there explained once again briefly about how the smart car works, before finally getting into the car for testing.
Slowly Danu runs her car out of the main building. The man intends to surround the office complex.
All eyes were watching closely, how Earlene's car gave a warning and braking itself, as the man tried to approach one of the walls of the building. The applause of the invited guests again rumbled.
"This time I'm going to test Earlene's way of working when there's a collision." Danu contacted someone through the HT he was carrying. The plan, Danu will be hit by another car from behind. Just a small crash.
The monitor screen turned black for a moment, before finally the car that Danu was driving was seen appearing in the corner. But, unlike what they had planned, the car suddenly rolled to the right and to the left at high speed.
All the guests screamed in fear as the car then hit the pavement, and continued to hit several power poles until it rolled in the middle of the road.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Arion who witnessed the incident immediately contacted Danu through HT given by one of the crew.
"What's going on?" ask one of the reporters. They look at each other.
One of the council members stood up from his chair. "Is this the test you're talking about? If so, you are putting someone's life at risk!" the hardic.
"Is this a mistake? Otherwise, why take such a big risk? You can use dolls, instead of living humans!" another invited guest, a senior female artist, is now also a member of the board.
Some of the invited guests had even started to move from their seats towards the exit. The Earlene employees and team members immediately blocked the door.
"Surge! I didn't come all the way here to see a dangerous event like this!" hardik Deputy Governor of the Region who was directly approved by other guests.
"Father, Mother, please look until the end" asked Grace, a member of Earlene's team.
"What should we see again? How did Earlene scan the victim's body for real? Don't be crazy!" this time, a glamorous looking county chief's wife let out her voice.
Seeing the commotion in front of the exit, Arion could only budge. Apparently, he was waiting for something.
"Campus you!" mumbling Erlina cynical. The shadow of the blasphemies directed by the community for the Umbara Corporation, made Erlina laugh with satisfaction. The woman tried her hardest not to be overwhelmed.
While Adhisty can only stare at Arion with a view that is difficult to read.
...***...
Just arrived in front of the office. The girl immediately stepped into the office building, after showing her id card.
It suddenly stopped in front of the elevator, when its eyes accidentally stared at the small monitor screen that was there. The look on his face was very surprised, seeing Arion actually appear on the glass screen. However, that is not the main cause of Sekar surprised, but the writing that is clearly displayed on the screen:
Arion Raditya Umbara (CEO of Umbara Corporation).

Thank you to all of you who have read this chapter.
For this chapter, I admit it is very heavy, because I have to describe how the Earlene project. Please don't be too high-expectation huh, brothers. I'm totally blind to technology, so I hope there's no question about the Earlene project, because it's all just a wreath of my mediocre brain. π
AND THIS CHAPTER WILL STILL BE REVISED AGAIN. If an error is found, please be advised.ππ
Don't forget to leave her likes, comments, and gifts. Just one trace left behind, would mean a lot to me.
Thank you, π€
