as places trying to make them up. and it was all in let's do business look ma no hands manufacturers of the detroit motor show were rolling out their latest creations minus the steering wheel analysts say the future is here regulators say carefully and responsibly review what's on offer is the tech getting ahead of itself. it may not look like it but this could be the vision of the car industry's future it's a so-called light our system and creates a real time three d. map of anything it's aimed at it allows cars fitted with the system to cut out the middleman and take care of the driving themselves with car manufacturers the world over betting big in the technology industry analysts say lawmakers need to remove regulatory roadblocks. i promise vehicles are still under development but it's growing so fast and i think this is faster than any technology we've ever seen in the past we need to have the laws in place and insurance and planes and all those

infrastructure things that's what it's not just about automakers technology. nissan is also continuing its focus on semi autonomous vehicles in detroit unveiling its x motion concept car featuring what they call a pilot technology similar to tesla's autopilot it takes over some of the heavy lifting but still requires human intervention in emergencies. it might not be as glitzy but right sharing options like this bus might be the real future of driverless tech. so it'll be a long time before we have them in our driveway and when we do it right now we want somebody else on them we'll have a subscription service we'll have a pay by the mile kind of fairness all business model for acquiring transportation will change. self driving ride sharing analysts say would be a development that could change the car industry as we know it. let's bring in custom phenomenon al correspondent who's in detroit so self driving

tech is developing fast but won't be widely used for some time is is that what you'll gauging at the show. pretty much so i mean if you look right behind me this is the future of trucks would look like at least according to some speed ish design if you ask me already find it quite scary to drive on the road with trucks with drivers with me if this thing is beyond me i'd be really scared so i don't think we would see this any time soon because as we all know from our computers from our smartphones it's all very nice when it works but when it doesn't you have a problem and i exactly where you coming from chaos and i look like a giant vacuum cleaner tell me is it about building trust among fellow drivers among customers or or getting regulators on board as i alluded to.

well i think getting regulators on board is one part of the deal and it's something that u.s. authorities seriously looking at some of these issues g.m. has brought forward a proposal and the regulators are. looking at that but i think bringing the customers on board is even more difficult i mean. it took some time for people to accept driverless transport when it came to rail transport and of course there are many more unknown things that can happen on a normal roads so i'm not really sure that people will trust these. driverless buses anytime soon because if something goes wrong i'd rather negotiate with a bad driver than with a computer so what's the road ahead but we only ever see autonomous botha's taxis and and trucks like the one behind you bit never actually get

a highway full of driverless cars is as many are predicting. well i don't know i mean in the past people said you cannot drive with the train it's going over thirty kilometers an hour because the human body cannot cope with that people said you know man cannot fly and this all happened so it might happen sometime in the future personally i think it would take the fun out of driving i mean it would be only about getting from a to b. but that's not what driving is all about right exactly catherine thank you very much for your analysis and thanks for offering into the show for us in detroit our u.s. correspondent cost phenomena. the management of siemens medical technology unit health is as though future shareholders that the spinoff will cut costs by almost a quarter billion euros a year the german company is planning an initial public offering in the first half

of twenty eighteen market experts expected to be the biggest german i.p.o. since one thousand nine hundred ninety six elfin is currently valued at around forty billion euros it's expected to launch on the frankfurt stock exchange much and let's take you over to the extent where daniel cope is standing by for us then you'll tell us how high expectations actually are for this health and he is i.p.o. . what is the. mood your gauging there way you are. yes i'm here well investors i guess they're already counting the days until when we are going to see this i.p.o. happening here at the frankfurt stock exchange and yes pressure and expectations are extremely high where you remember the hype that dr tiller column was having when there were launching their shares here at the stock exchange by that time

already also people that were not invested in stocks by that time were really saying well why not investing our money in chairs and whether siemens is really hoping that this hype is going to be happening as well and health in years already at this time is promising quite a lot to investors they were releasing today that their dividend is going to be very high and also that they will be growing even faster after launching here at the trading floor and yes for traders the volume is extremely exciting with an amount off between six and seven billion euros it would we really the highest i.p.o. that we have seen year after dot com daniel an interesting question is it a good time for an i.p.o. considering this widely extended global market right now what we're seeing dollars and euros being poured into equities what will that continue. well that's the reason why the humans is doing this launch at the moment they wanted to

have this launch already in june and now they're saying because we're seeing this very good atmosphere at the markets now we're most likely going to see this launch already happening before easter so yes the humans is clearly thinking that we are having this great atmosphere here at the moment daniel thanks for your take from the frankfurt stock exchange. a global tourism berman showing no signs of slowing the number of international tourists surge by seven percent last year reaching an estimated one point three billion it wants to spend their holidays at home anymore france will remain the most popular tourism destination according to the united nations world tourism organization but spain could be set to replace the u.s. in the number two position with more than eighty million visitors last year a deadly terror attack in august and the political crisis and cut alone you don't appear to have dented spain's overall tourist figures that's not the case for the

welcome news it could lead to more job creation in trouble and hospitality and destination countries. back in the sixties and seventies the somali capital mogadishu was known as the white pole of the indian ocean but decades of civil war changed that now the country's trying to rebuild its tourism say. this is not the picture that most people in the west have of somalia. conflicts and terrorism of the past decades have shaped the image of the east african country. last october attacks by islamist militants killed hundreds of people in the capital mogadishu a few foreign tourists venture into the country that is still torn by civil war and hostile almost forty. nine somalis not so modest none somalis the muslims people most of them european forty that was the number of international customers he had
