for the planet but good for our ears, not that everyone minds. broome, brum. but of course there is a problem. if electric cars do not make a sound, you cannot hear them coming. flarer cannot hear them coming. over the ast cannot hear them coming. over the past two — cannot hear them coming. over the past two years, _ cannot hear them coming. over the past two years, new - cannot hear them coming. of the past two years, new british eu and us laws have required that for safety reasons, all new electric vehicles must be fitted with a device that makes a noise. and the car world is getting excited about the idea of on— brand unique sound. in of on— brand unique sound. in fact you could say it has generated a bit of a buzz, and tepepe and a boop... mil generated a bit of a buzz, and tepepe and a boop... tepepe and a boop. .. all right, all riuht. tepepe and a boop. .. all right, all right. and _ tepepe and a boop. .. all right, all right. and some _ tepepe and a boop. .. all right, all right. and some makers - tepepe and a boop. .. all right, all right. and some makers arei all right. and some makers are even composing special soundscapes at different speeds for the driver inside the cabin. for the driver inside the cabin, for the driver inside the cabin. ,, ., , , cabin. so dan simmons has been drivin: a cabin. so dan simmons has been driving a little _ cabin. so dan simmons has been driving a little bit _ cabin. so dan simmons has been driving a little bit slower - driving a little bit slower than usual, it has to be said, to find out what might replace the sound of silence. if

electric cars have to make a noise, well, we could end up with something like this. or you would not necessarily step out in front of it, would you? this is an art experiment to see how cars can interpret and complement the soundscape around them. more on that idea in a bit. but first, to get a feel of what the ev manufacturers themselves have in store for us, i've come to japanese car giant nissan's technical development centre in bedfordshire. what do you think people expect an electric car to sound like?— to sound like? that was the interesting _ to sound like? that was the interesting question - to sound like? that was the interesting question that i to sound like? that was the | interesting question that we started with, what should a car sounds like, because none of us had really thought about it. it had really thought about it. it just sounds like the engine. the leaf is one of the world's best selling electric cars and they now come with nissan's where magic suites of sound

a tranquil morning at the top gear track in surrey. except... oh gosh! —— top gear. this driverless electric truck has been breaking the place. and with good cause. trucks make up a relatively small amount of traffic on the roads, around 2% in the eu, they have a disproportionately large impact on the environment. unless they are among the first of a new category, electric autonomous trucks. innovations such as this one are aiming to cut emissions and also designed to operate safely at high speeds. computers, cameras and lidar sensors are a familiar sight on self—driving vehicles at autonomous technologies actually solve one of the biggest barriers to electric adoption — charging. tiara adoption - charging. two battery packs _

from us. hello. we have a rather cold and windy weekend to come. and there'll be some wet weather at times, especially on saturday, some showers or some showery rain and hill snow. drier for many on sunday. throughout the weekend, though, a chilly wind to contend with. what's going on? low pressure close to scotland as saturday begins will run south through the north sea as the weekend goes on. around it, showers or some longer spells of rain and hill snow, especially on saturday. and it's also dragging in another push of chilly air from the north—west. and it's not what those without power or working to restore power after storm arwen want to hear, but it is going to be a rather cold weekend ahead, with temperatures starting like this for saturday morning. just a few spots close

to freezing, just a hint of frost here and there. there'll be early rain across eastern england clearing away to sunny spells, but then this curl of rain and hill snow through scotland, northern ireland, pushing into more of northern england, wales and the midlands as we go on through the day. north west scotland starting to brighten up in the afternoon, just a few showers. the far south of wales and much of southern england, a lot of the day is going to be dry. it's blustery wherever you are. these are average speeds. some stronger gusts around particularly western coasts, 40—45 mph or so, so a risk of gales here. so, it will feel colder than these temperatures might suggest, which are already down compared with what we had on friday. saturday evening and night, it's central and eastern parts of england with outbreaks of rain. some snow to the higher parts of the pennines and peak district. a few showers in the west, but some clear spells, too, and where you have the clear spells, a greater chance of a frost going into sunday morning, especially in the countryside. and on sunday, well, the low pressure�*s here. for many, it's far enough away

to allow a drier day, but close to that across especially eastern parts of england, there'll be some outbreaks of rain around. they may just fringe into eastern scotland at times and also push a little further west towards the midlands. much of scotland, northern ireland, wales and the western side of england, bar the odd shower, will stay mainly dry. there'll still be a very brisk north—northwesterly breeze to contend with, so it will feel colder than these temperatures might suggest. and temperatures don't change much in the week ahead, and especially during the first half of the week, it looks like we're going to have to contend with more wet and at times very windy weather.
