we are surrounding the parliamentary elections raising concerns of a threat to democracy across the block. and you can show me for our special coverage of the parliamentary election starting right here tomorrow, 6 pm. berlin time we'll see you that the same view the same way you expect and more different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue what that's my thought or you think your kid is 2 different risk, irresponsible, reasonable stopping port is those nonsense. i wonder if my son to read i'm a doctor to in the canal. it's time to to get your generation with a sleep asked and then when generations mash watch now on the tune

dw documentary says kind of fun. it feels like therapy, artificial intelligence that evaluates traffic and can prevent congestion, autonomous flying vehicles that communicate with each other. it all sounds pretty cool. but do innovations like this really make travel better for us? what is the future of smart mobility today on ship? the a 150 hours in traffic every year. that's the reality for the average person from london, north chicago, that's almost an entire week stuck in your car. waiting congestion is a huge problem and many big cities. but what if he could leave the road behind altogether? a start up from india is developing a flying taxi to,

to barely launch it to the conventional con. in bruce, this is hope the vehicles like this will be on the market by 2026 in a ton of a slight mode. this model will carry 6 passengers to a 100 kilometers in japan. this single caesar is taking to the scott is in israel. a start up is testing a, a texas the medical emergencies, and transporting patients to hospital and gym, and company bolo, cup till wants to ferry people around mixed use paris olympics the logical fonts. as long as you estimate the 700 different designs for electric vertical takeoff and landing across o e p tolls from nearly 350 companies worldwide.

other than helicopters, which often run on kerosene, most flying cars use electric motor, its e v tolls and also quieter than helicopters. and that's most suited of and areas and because they don't to meet carbon dioxide them because frankly, to shoot me, the electricity comes from sustainable sources. however, the show for range companies with the waste of the factories means that most designs can only carry 2 passages. there are undoubtedly some challenges to as a common to we see flying tax easy now cities, there are many regulatory and safety questions to unanswered and infrastructure to take off and landing students to be pills. so it might be a while before we can choose the traffic example by another mobility revolution is on the cost of a breakthrough. fully autonomous robo taxis. i'm making an appearance in the streets of san francisco. driverless cars like this one are

a common sites here in famously tech friendly, san francisco cameras, radar, and light our technology, continuously scanning the car surroundings. the cops use cloud based most systems to navigate their way through the city. but the technology isn't the perfect cars, don't always wait when they should and often stop when they get confused. blocking traffic. i don't know why accidents have happened. one car crushed into a fire truck in san francisco, sparking protest, especially amongst taxi drivers. they are mad as they stop i unexpectedly, they actually have broken the law many times and we, we see them sing the one way and then go another way, char and juvenile. so it was more convinced for non profit as partners with an economist, car provider. and for a blind person, no driver means no discrimination. the one of the

things i found out with tax season right here services because i choose to have a guide dog to navigate the world, is they will leave me standing on the side of the street. and they will cancel rides even after they pull up and they see the dog. they don't want to have the dog in their vehicle. whereas here there's no opinion because there's no drivers under the toner. most vehicles can navigate traffic more smoothly than a human being. she says, when you're like good or you know that sudden stop it's made or, you know, you feel people swerving and people hogging at you and not being able to see what's going on. i see it's fearful a really i've never had one fear sending in one of these. i just say that it's welcome to the future. so far robo taxi's or something of an experiment. not all people in san francisco want their city to be a test track. but it seems that you're here to stay a ton of those vehicles that being tested worldwide from v w as roll out of

driverless mini buses in germany to china, us drivers caps. it's a race for supremacy. but dr. assistant systems on to welcome everywhere in china, test drive us on the allowed to park in certain governmental military areas. the cameras incense is getting a little too much of the environment. more than vehicles collect vast amounts of data, all in the name of safety, inconvenience, but can of vehicle know too much about us? is your brand new car collecting information on your 6 lines? if you're in the usa in driving a nissan or a kia, it just might be that's according to the terms and conditions that more than cars are equipped with cameras, tractors and microphones. they can access the phones, don't show it when it's connected to the com. data is valuable and comp. companies know that to the most in the foundation found all $25.00 comprehensive

investigation we're collecting, farm, or dos of unnecessary in bed woods. it was a privacy nightmare. according to the study, 84 percent of the company should personal use, a doctor with 3rd parties, 76 percent even profited from us. so if you want to keep your private data to yourself, make sure to use on board apps sparingly and only link your smartphone if you really need to. the data gathered by your car can be useful to us, though it can help us get from a to b, foster and most safely. take a look at this project from europe. cities and transport agencies are collecting more traffic data than ever before. with cameras, sensors, and other technologies, all being deployed via him to optimize commutes and reduce the number of one used vehicles on the road.

via nova is a micro mobility agency, based in paris are specializing and data on scooters and bikes, modes of transports, which reduce congestion emissions. we realize that the close a new mazda of transports, we are bringing, get great benefits at citizens. but at the same time, uh, we need a lot of chaos on the streets. uh that the cities uh, with trimming to uh, to the we recently mobility companies and public transport systems have become compiling vast amounts of raw data to state that has been used by cities as they see fit. a lot of industries that they have amazed even loans. they thought that they don't know what to do. we use yet data unless then collect and aggregate everything into much like these agencies like via

know the, visualize the data. their maps are responsive and interactive. this provides different kinds of anonymized information on residents movements, which is useful for public authorities. these would be able to understand which are we as of their territories more used in terms of trips, vouchers, or troops arrival ones that we do. so be able to bit understand the need to get them from point a to point b and in that's we jones that we be able to find the items where there is treat, but their hands are using a certain kind of thing for us to trend. so for instance, easy to buy things. so those things just statements. and then based on this and that he'd be able to plant a leasing belgium's comfortable brussel. this works with data unless to get

a better overview of the usage of the scooters on rental bikes and the city process . i've seen one of your tips, most significant increases in shared mobility concepts. data analytics helps personal city planners better understand how mobility operators use public spaces and how best to regulate them. we regulated much higher than before. um, so starting from 2024, there will be less vehicles, less providers, more strict rules in terms of boxes. pacific is working on a sustainable mobility plan, and if all goes well, digital solutions like this will become more common across europe. it's a solid place to stop, but for many in the tech industry, it's a bit bland. they'd rather conjure up the really big ideas. we spoke to take right up paris marks instead of kind of really mundane things like invest in buses and

you know, think about how we distribute street space and maybe make some cycle lanes. it sounds a lot more attractive is a all the cars are going to start driving themselves and we're going to make this new tunnel system for transportation and we're going to have flying cars. finally, investors media can't get enough of bold, high tech, new transit projects. one of the most glaring examples is high to loop a high speed above ground vacuum cheap, popularized by even mosque in 2013 british 1000000000. a richard branson, owner of virgin, also supported it in 2017 constructions. again, passengers with a traveler 1000 kilometers an hour across the us, india and the middle east. but the closest this came to materializing was a single test reach in just a 160 kilometers now. and the costs will fall crisis and predicted. undeterred by the size above ground,

most often to go on to graft 1st to pledge to dig elaborate systems of tunnels on the cities with 16 post. self driving clouds could zip around with ease. that quickly became a place to develop a system of so called skate, which would sweep electric cars across towns that space of up to 200 kilometers. now, what did it end up being built in the end was the lose a one way tunnel for testers to me in the through. that should be a 64 kilometers an hour. well, at least would exist. it is mainly just an attraction for has was, you know, it's a way to sell it as low as it's not really affecting traffic. it's not really solving transportation problems. it's really, i call it a disney land ride. for tesla fans does find the face of glory projects. the loop is to be expanded to almost 50 kilometers. the projects play to the imagination and gum a capital, but kind of solve traffic problems. well,

we'll just have to wait and say, so if big tech won't solve our traffic problems will. if you ask me, we shouldn't just sit back and wait for flying cars to come save us. it's always best to start small with the realistic ideas that can actually make a difference. otherwise, we could end up waiting. g is for a big tech to become affordable. as for me, i'll be taking the tram home for now. how do you like to travel? do you have good public transport in your neighborhood? that is no. see you soon. by the 6 this week around 370000000 people in the 27 countries of the you

will be bouncing in the european parliament elections and it's complex. i'm found in brussels as being plenty of notice tension monkey following seasons. we talked to 2 of these elections, so we'll have a decides to follow the solving of a conflict. next on dw is unemployed because the oil field makes people gas flaring release is highly toxic. stuff, oil companies tied down the drain, shows the true extent of the contamination of visits to the in 30 minutes. on the w. conflicts, crises was, every single connection mapped out shows the geophysical reality. the on the board

is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube the this week around 370000000 people in the 27 countries of the you will be voting in the european solomon's elections. and the run up plenty of speculation, but the far right might increase its tale of seats and exec a great influence on how the use friends, it's money or the lowest it passes. and what far and agreement subsides service takes a high and this complex home found in brussels as being plenty of nervous tension among keep politicians. we talk to 2 of them. memphis vapor leader is the largest political grouping center right here for you and people's policy about his predictions. his worries and the credible leadership in your 1st viagra euro bus.
