that. is the world becoming less western and does it mean for the world if the west leaves the stage to others the key questions at this year's munich security conference and join us for our coverage of the security conference 2020 today on d w. i i. say. we are living during the most extraordinary time history. of transport people before the electric cars. made about. rev the auto and mobility show. do we really need all these vehicles. of

traffic. some people are dreaming of a life with less traffic we want to have a city where we don't just see cars i'm talking about everywhere. so what might the city traffic of the future look like. just imagine that's driving ability to risk actually clean and for free i but where should we go if we still think driving cars is a lot of fun. customers cover all different vehicle groups. and could you master the safety systems on award winning hybrid x e 40. 2 or the activate the systems. menu with the law of man and be on the safe side of cars and mobility right now on rec.

climate change and emissions limits have left their mark on driving for fun. sports cars may pump up the adrenaline but they also pump out pollutants like there's no tomorrow in germany sales are down to around $50000.00 a year. s.u.v.s have topped the 1000000 mark in germany even though they're also seen as gas guzzlers and climate killers they are the fastest growing segment for the global car district. sports cars are all about pace passion and the sheer uncompromising thrill of driving nobody but. god the ford mustang is the world's best selling sports who pay the quintessential pony car since its launch $964.00. but porsche 911 is another icon of modern motoring and has sold over

a 1000000 units since it 1st hit the roads half a century ago. the 1st porsche was built in 1970 it had just 35 horsepower but thanks to weighing only 585 kilos it could reach 135 kilometers an hour. company. said that the last car ever to be built would be a car. in the sports car was not merely a mode of transportation it's the imagination. engine you can think of. this ultimate marriage of design and engineering promised a way of life. exclusivity independence the ideal get away from the daily grind. soon enough sports cars went from being only vehicles to stars of both the big and small screen.

you know i'm game consuls 2. in the virtual world these cars deliver plenty of action. some new models now even get launched in video games. if that what's your appetite how about one of the. key a stinger. the b.m.w. 440 i grant. my or the lexus l c $500.00. of course to really put cars like these through their paces you need a race track. or at least a test track like the one in lead to. our clients who attend our training courses cover all different vehicle groups motorbikes passenger cars i pads and trucks we cater to both private individuals and commercial clients and. the hood before we get going

the stinger has a twin turbo engine that cranks out $269.00 kilowatts. is a subsidiary of south korean car giant hyundai. and the stinger is out to muscle in on the european sports car market. is german design boss pages make sure it had what it takes. out on the test track nicaea shows the benefits of its all wheel drive. it tops out at 270 kilometers per hour despite way needed almost to touch. in germany the stinger sells for a base price of around $56000.00 euros it speaks of price and performance as the nickname.

there's nothing poor about the l. c. $500.00 which uses lex's styling in class inside and. lexus is the luxury brand of japanese carmaker toilette eager to show that they are among the front runners not only among hybrid cars. are matched by the way it hugs the road. its developers who are granted triple the usual time to toil and tinker away at the new model. the results is life in the fast lane a trip that will have your heart pounding and your pulse racing. $351.00 kilowatts catapult this mean machine to a top speed of 280 kilometers an hour. and awesome feel at the wheel but a price tag of $100000.00 euros and this baby burns a whopping 12 leaders of gas per 100 kilometers.

b.m.w. meanwhile harking back to the seventy's when the 3.0 c.s.l. dominated the european touring car circuit. and now the 440 i grant who pays channelling that history. unlike its predecessors on the race track it's not meant to tear up the record books but it comes with its fair share of luxury extras. and at $62000.00 euros it's far cheaper than its lexus rival. its output is a relatively unimpressive 240 kilowatts but you hardly notice that when you take to the curves here it roar. the perfectly configured suspension is coupled with b.m.w.'s legendary straight 6 inch. and as you're thrust back into your

seat after shifting down a gear you get that real sports car feeling. these are cars that unleashed powerful emotions for some they're objects of desire embodying that ultimate freedom of movement. for others they're unwelcome relics of an environmentally unfriendly past. but environmental responsibility and sports cars can also go hand in hand the new porsche tiger on is powered by 560 kilowatts and its all electric sportscar you can drive with a clean conscience. and

work. today we're going to have a look at this. 40 isn't exactly a new car compact and see the claimed the european car of the year trophy in 2018 and its fresh looks made the swedish best seller a real crowd pleaser. it can also choose a contrast in the roof color to make your car really stand out. well what's new about its or to be precise because of the. twin engine is the 1st plug in hybrid poetry and for this car according to w o t p tests only around 2 to 2.5 meters per $100.00 you know me. which almost

almost sounds too good to be true. the plug in hybrid combines a $180.00 horsepower 3 cylinder gasoline engine with a 60 electric motor and front wheel drive hybrid drive trains always add weight to a car thanks to the 2 engines and the battery and at 1900 kilos the x e 40 is no exception. it. has but you can feel the weight of the extra 40 has never been a review of speeding all the stuff you definitely penfield the punishment stop and celebrating with around 7.3 seconds from 0 to 100. with the combination when you were in your races. but speed was never the point of this

fall though what it's aiming for is fuel economy. the hybrid system pegs the different driving modes names hybrids and power in pure you'll get all electric driving meaning the car is only he was in the electric engine it's good post move up to 125 k. maybe and the ramp off if you know which is quite nice when you'll both be driving in the city. when the batteries i mean you can plug it in then charge it up or use the internal combustion engine to give the battery some additional juice in the hybrid the system tries to combine both engines in the most effective way it's probably the mold you would drive the most in when you're outside the city is the mold we are going to do with most of the time and then there's the performance malts where both engines are running in parallel all the time to give you the maximum performance for whenever you. if you have the need for. the science the

3 driving modes the x e 40 offers a whole range of safety systems functional has always been at the forefront of driver safety. engineer kneels bullen invented the 3 point seat belts for the car maker back in 1959 the german patent office named the belt one of the 8 inventions that most benefit humankind during 100 years and in 1905. with head side in neat air bags the volatile x e 40 scored top marks in the euro n.c.a.a. p. crash test. emergency brake assist and active lane keeping assist come standard. class cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles approaching from the side and braking support automatically applies the brakes in order to avoid a collision. but there's one problem i've got with all the safety systems and that's not the systems themselves they work pretty much flawlessly it's

the way you control them because to activate or the activate the systems they have to do with or through the year for payment stream they are menus on top of menus that open up even more menus and i don't know or maybe it's just personal preference and after a week or so of driving the car you will eventually master the system but personally i don't really like. ok so the user interface of the infotainment system might need an overhaul but what about fuel consumption. sleeping in the countryside probably isn't the best territory to achieve consumptions that are close to be $2.00 yukos per 100 kilometers. i'm not saying it was impossible to achieve those numbers by driving here throughout the big. most of the time in the hybrid vault we ended up with

something close to 7 or 8 meters to 100 feet and meet us i so what's the verdict at a hefty starting price of 49000 euros the x.e. 40 with its new plug in hybrid engine has both the advantages and disadvantages he might expect on longer trips this heavy s.u.v. tends to guzzle gas but for running errands around town or commuting to work the sleek looking volvo will get you there economically and safely. in our cities are failing us. because affects us all is this all future generations can look forward to i like to have a city where i don't need to worry about the machines and. what do we do to improve the way we move in our cities to what is right smart join us on

a journey we're architects engineers and activists face up to the challenges of our future urban mobility. traffic chaos some tough stuff. worldwide every day. there are some 47000000 cars on germany's roads enough for 2 of the 3 adults to be driving at the same time. that's the highest level ever in berlin alone 87000 new cars were registered in 2019 despite growing traffic problems. like lots of public transport with ok bicycle. and we see all the cars next to the universe the building where people like the students basically have free public transport and they come by car and i think that's not. all over the world urban try . pollution is choking us of the air we need to bring. people around the

world are demanding change. after more than 100 years is the cars dominance of our ever more crowded cities finally coming to an end. for brian and while i'm on his part this crisis and nobody has the freedom to live in the city in a more mature way and the future of the cities is the future of morbidity in a new way. the global design studio graphed is developing visions of our future urban mobility. its founders last cook a bag and thomas villa might are specialists in urban planning and sustainable architecture they expect future generations to have far more choice in how they move around their cities. that child all of us. will probably walk quite. some distance because the neighborhoods will be

without too much traffic jump on a car maybe their leads then to a connection that probably will take their child into the air and landed right on the working place. flying taxis could be a spectacular urban upgrade but probably not for the masses the biggest changes will affect cars especially our own private ones of which there are more than $1000000000.00 worldwide. there will be no bond anymore between public transportation and individual traffic of the separation of both cities that we see true there. but what could take the place of private cars and emissions free highly flexible public transport system. our urban will build. could depend on vehicles like the move or the tech underpinning the mover

comes from a german company. it's meant to demonstrate how one platform can fulfill many needs . to move or could be used for the transport of people. for. traffic. in germany carsick unused for 23 hours a day on average each wasting about 12 square meters in parking space. that's as big as the typical german child's bedroom. in the u.s. cities like houston are struggling to overcome decades of urban planning that has given more space to cars than anything else. the more you have reduced the dimensions of the vehicle of course we achieve that moving the drive units into the wheels themselves placing technical components as far into the corners as possible

to make more interior space years of. and that frees up space on the road so. shrinking vehicle footprints are just one part of shufflers mobility vision. this award winning prototype can carry 4 people to their destination cleanly autonomous li and flexibly in. the city were aggressive as we share. it is public or private leaving the possibility for the city to come back to the people meaning we need less parking spots. we basically need the cars or airplanes or the drones whatever it is too long so we need new spaces new spaces where change transportation. in the near future digital networking will drive our mobility. shufflers idea forces people

using autonomous vehicles from a fleet working 247. these multi-functional emissions free vehicles to transport people and goods or provide services by sharing the vehicles people could free up huge areas of space previously dedicated to parking but all we really ready to have robots driving everywhere. and again schools are good is the one major hurdle is legal vehicles like that are not really covered by the current legislation we'll have to make many adjustments to legal frameworks and the lack of legal security surrounding autonomous vehicles is putting the brakes on development. is going to continue because we really afford to lose any more time. the generations of young people who will inherit our cities are already looking for quick and direct ways of improving our urban lives now we're going to do 2 things

firstly politically. challenge all politicians if you want to have a city where we want to live and where we don't. see cars in parking lots everywhere but where we go everywhere and i'm not afraid that a collar hit us secondly we can do it ourselves we can take the bicycle to work to university to school. past all the metro for the underground and we can take part for transport. the german city of al spork is trying to get cars out of the city by offering free public transport in the central zone. since january 2020 people can. it's one change among many that are needed. we need an overall traffic management as well as the infrastructure as well as a payment system a ticket system and things like this of course future mobility has to be affordable it might pay for itself with and it's like the internet does these days. just

imagine that driving a mobility is actually clean and for free why because it's the search place where you can work with driving as you know it's automatic you don't have to take care of that it's shared with other people it's connected so basically the people that run at the time sometimes in these to places while you're working they pay for the right so i think a city where we don't have costs. has much more space for our troops. has space for the people and i think city without cost can have a lot more opportunities than a city with costs. a city without cars for many people that's hard to imagine. but things are beginning to move in that direction the question is what do we want to do with the space when the cars have gone.

we discussed on the topic on. the news these could be i'm a texan ducking that comes from the past 27 years. have not been easy i've been going to have 4 children 3 boys and. my wife and you'd like to. tell me about something that's now about. you go to movies. try to go to our blog get ready. for profit. business and business and dolphin domicile. a listen never to move.

off the top of an. activity when i was very young and now see that. is developed and then reverify people always coming here because i didn't tell em in the mornin coming today in the said she didn't have to jump jump jump but high and didn't think people also agree so it makes it devon that we tend to. have to get a question about. you see all the stuff. we were done and you don't back. this. my favorite. god save us and. he took me about. this. time cost me come here he's my office and.

i was. we went around for 4 hours event ministries and. wanted to people groups and. you know what big. block there's no bunch of all i've got some but. i don't think that's what i thought if you could use a full knowledge of that one of the large chunks of my life but them all i don't know how. long the electrons to move up the larger. issue from this big. one house most of a computer. and. mr move and how you can be. a rock in the taxi. never be

to play. this is a v.w. news live from berlin is the west winning or weaker well it depends on who you ask at the munich security conference. happy to report that the death of the transatlantic the winds is grossly over exaggerated the moment when i look at the world as it's being shaped and that's the theme of your conference this year there is indeed a weakening of the west looks the u.s. secretary of state might come théo and french president emanuel paint a very different pictures of the western alliance it will have the latest.
