bottle and mobility show. how will we get from a to b. in the future air transport stand a chance for a believer taxis are an important mode of transport for the future as they will the dream remain unfulfilled because it's not a question is whether this addresses all actual problems getting around it used to be tough the desire to transport something as quickly or safely as possible seems to be a primal human instinct but. to swerve due to a base of action or some other maneuver you need to hit the brakes immediately but i'm going to see how powerful and tell green should modern means of transport being . what it is up to date transport for me that's something. very same i know the wrong. but before we kick back it's time for rev to take off.
12:32 am
is this the transport of the future is it science fiction or soon to be reality. the forecast is that cities will get bigger and bigger and they already have serious traffic problems today so i get in my air taxi and fly maybe 10 minutes and cover a distance that would take me hours on the ground. flying over the traffic a nice idea but if. we believe taxis are an important mode of transport for the future if we can't manage to take off and land safely we won't have any air taxis here and. i don't think we should be promoting mobility for elite considering the current scarcity of resources and climate issues. the discussion of the pros and cons of air taxis is in full swing. and so is the race

to develop the aircraft. there is one of 3 german companies at the forefront. of the startup began experimenting with drone technology years ago. this kind of technology so-called multi copters has been around since about the mid 2000 i found it very exciting right from the start and i thought it probably won't be long before someone comes up with the idea of building a bigger version but that didn't happen so we went ahead and did it. the 1st aircraft we developed was the one with the bouncy ball underneath then we worked with a lot of partners universities and so on to make it more and more professional. the 1st half there was built in 2017 a lightweight vertical takeoff aircraft with 18 electric roads it's already flown in cities like dubai in singapore. a startup is now
12:34 am
a recognized development company and is close to receiving commercial certification then production can begin. to take. the technology is so strikingly simple that you can build an aircraft with much less effort than a helicopter and. the fact that it's also very quiet and emission free with no exhaust fumes gives huge huge advantages. flying along the dream of humankind 'd scientists like leonardo da vinci laid the groundwork for manned flight which 1st took place about 120 years ago. but the dream didn't stop there at 1st flying cars were a mere curiosity. since then the technology has evolved there are surprisingly many hybrid aircraft combining car and plane but they need a runway. this futuristic creature the. takes the next

step it's a compact car until it spreads its wings and rises vertically into the air. flying cars air taxis. will the sky soon be teeming with them like a new classic the 5th element. a lot of news reports mention the film the 5th element where the whole sky is full of aircraft it's definitely not going to be like that imagine you have a dedicated takeoff and landing pads and it's more like a kind of cable car where they all fly in a row like a string of pearls. define routes with designated landing pads for example on high rise buildings like this luxury tower in miami in germany munich central railway station is getting the landing pad and air taxis are being discussed by the german ministries. transport. we have
12:36 am
a keen interest in air taxis being deployed in germany in 2017 we issued a drone ordinance that regulates the operation of unmanned aircraft the next step is to introduce regulations tailored to air taxis. and this will be done mainly on a european level. even. frankfurt airport is in talks with the european aviation safety agency the plan a kind of air bridge between the airport and the greater frankfurt area. we see great opportunities in air taxi technology but we also believe this cannot be the solution to all our traffic problems but we think it's a logical addition to public transport especially in urban areas and we hope as many people as possible will be able to use this mode of transport in the future and the catholic and not some can. more than $100.00 companies worldwide are blazing the trail global players like airbus boeing and 10 cent are investing
12:37 am
millions in ambitious projects. the germans started lilian has the vision of flying 300 kilometers with 5 passengers but a low cost mass produced full time are going to the skies is not yet on the horizon . the global elites in cities of this world like new york sao paolo shanghai and beijing have money and want to travel fast and so there will be a demand and enough hog farm there will also be a dynamic demand and it's not the question is whether this really addresses the problems we actually have people but it will probably only be a solution to the mobility problem for a small part of the population people it's a kind of elites mobility science and i believe in mobility it and that already exists or operates a helicopter service in cities like new york or air taxi simply a more environmentally friendly version. are they worth. all the effort to develop
12:38 am
them. a little simpler to consume people whole everything that moves into the 3rd dimension needs more energy in purely physical terms to stay up in the ethernet ports and even if the energy is 100 percent renewable it won't be a solution because we need that renewable energy which we are making great efforts to produce for ground based traffic and for. traffic congestion in megacities continues to be the greatest challenge with or without renewable energy everyone is stuck in traffic jams but even air space is by no means as empty as air taxi advocates often suggest. as. of course we're aware the air space capacity just like ground capacity is finite and we're already taking that into account in our thinking that we have to make sure the air taxis fit into existing aspace uncontrolled uncontrolled. more and more cargo drones are flying in uncontrolled airspace and someday they'll be autonomous
12:39 am
they'll need to be programmed to ensure they don't collide with manned air attacks since there is still no comprehensive traffic management system that takes into account the entire air space at all levels with manned and unmanned aircraft. i think it's all the safety issues haven't been dealt with i have great concerns about whether it'll work for me and i don't think the question of societal acceptance has been properly considered as a tool if we already have problems on the ground many people will certainly object to large numbers of drones flying above their heads to be on completing the dream of flying could it turn into a nightmare the technology is ready even if no air taxi is ever stayed in the air for more than a few minutes but do we really want a fleet of air taxis above our heads this question has not yet been answered in fact it hasn't even been properly asked.

could this car be a sensible alternative to the 4 wheeled vehicles of today the opel grand land x. hybrid 4 features 2 electric motors and a gasoline engine. i love green cars and this opel grandon x. looks especially good in green and it's the greenest compact s.u.v. of a german manufacturer. green stance i'm not color blind for the environmental friendliness of this plug in hybrid from i. commute and also suitable for longer distances with its 40th really top tank and it shows other people that you are driving with emissions with this l.e.d. it's like that up and shows your commitment for the environment. on the inside and x. looks just like

selecting the same lexeme choose how much battery life to reserve for 10 or 20 kilometers or the maximum electric range so you can use it later when needed. who should use his car for example 80 percent of the people because i don't drive more than 50 kilometers per day and the range of the opal is 59 kilometers so if you charge it overnight which takes about 7 hours you can drive all the time without any emissions. trying to do this to charge the car while you're at work if there is a charging station nearby juicing the battery can be as fast as 2 hours with the optional $7.00 kilowatt onboard charger. this plug in hybrid is important not only for the environment but also for opel because it produces the

nicked as the father of a dad is to feed on golden bitten and. motorized caravans are anything but an unusual sight today over a century since their emergence except the cars towing them out quite a bit beefier not least as you viz and pick ups with their all wheel drive an awesome engine outputs but the concept goes back to ancient times the invention of the wheel also meant the 1st tractors. back in asterix is time they needed an ox cart to get around. that it wasn't long until the concept of horse power entered the public arena chariots with the original sport utility vehicles. centuries later inventive minds repurpose the steam engine to get the 1st trains up
12:46 am
and running. communal registrations and sales of caravans have been at record levels in recent years. but there's a downside to this kind of upward mobility. the internet has a ton of video showing the devastating results of fishtailing caravans. setting off with a several ton mobile home when your hitch is no child's play and requires adequate training and preparation. we come to the german automobile club's driving safety center where we meet with driving instructor on shula book he knows the law when it comes to who is actually allowed to tow which trailer. to car lot most likely
12:47 am
guess what your license allows you to drive is determined by the weight of the vehicle this combination has a trailer with a 1.5 ton maximum permissible weight and a telling vehicle with $2.00 tons together they add up to $3.00 tons so that would require you to have a license allowing you to drive in excess of 3 and a half tons like a lot of tons of thought and you feel like i'm going to now looking up technical requirements for safe towing the thing about what does the maximum 100 week millions and where do i find it odd that the stuff less designed to talk weight is the weight asserted by the trailer on the vehicle hit on thoughts like. it's a vital importance for your driving safety this fonts on in this case the hitch has a ton weight of 100 kilos the last of the and that's ideal for a stable combination that hostile the local may not see one although they're not going to check that. they're going to move the car no way is to place a jack under the caravans coupler and put
12:48 am
a regular set of scales underneath you then arrange the cargo in the vehicle to produce a ton weight of 100 kilos and if that's what we have a number of things here to help increase driving stability this is an autonomous trailer brake i think gauges the trailer service brake and electronically detects instabilities such as swerving. of on the back towards an all without any driver intervention at them brakes the trailer to stable. as the vehicle combination. if the vehicle starts to swerve due to invasive action or some other maneuver you need to hit the brakes immediately. the trailer braking gauges and celebrates the car and trailer. this reestablishes stability in a speed range that also guarantee is
12:49 am
a sound level of safety. there's quite a range of modern day traction engines in the s.u.v. segment 1st up is a high writing wagon the 90 cross country. i meet optional extra here is a backup camera that helps to hitch a trailer. maximum topass 2.4 tons. the volvo doesn't come cheap however with prices in germany starting at $62000.00 euros. representing classic s.u.v.s is the same. ideal for family care of any trips space school or coupled with a very decent 2.4 tonne towing trailer capacity. also decent is the price $44000.00 euros so you can splash out on the carrier that. if you want to launch your classic grievous speed boating style look no further than the mosque.
12:50 am
with a 275 horsepower diesel this is our most powerful entrant and it's 75000 euro's also the priciest but it will haul up to 2.7 tons of pedestrian freight. and that surpassed only by our 2 heavyweights from toyota in. the jeep wrangler may have been given a make over but it still has the classic set up the ladder frame chassis. in the rigid axles with sturdy coil springs and solid stabilizers so even with big freight at the back you'll be super secure the jeep isn't allowed to tow more than $2.00 tons but it does come standard with a trailer stabilizer system 447000 euros. and has stats like 12. and it certainly needs those 110 kilowatts for
12:51 am
a towing capacity of 3 tons. and true tractor style. frame and rigid axles this is definitely a case of form follows function. here is about 40 years old fully loaded and with a full tank it weighs $1.00 to $1.00 tons. on the trailer here weighs another $350.00 kilos for a total of almost $1.00 tons to get into the water and back out. when it's time to launch a retrieve the spring or fall the muddy ground can be slippery this is where all wheel drive comes in handy permanent or on demand. models have no trouble getting into the water or fishing it out. so what qualifies as a good towing vehicle a higher curb weight will generally mean a more comfortable ride on the road obviously horsepower is important but even more
12:52 am
so as torque and rear wheel drive is preferable to front wheel. where weightier trailers road surfaces are involved you can't go wrong with all wheel drive. if you have seriously heavy cargo to tow the jeep wrangler coup. be your port of call. except the latest model has a max pulling capacity just 2 and a half tons almost a 3rd less than its predecessor. so when the going gets tough there's only the toilet a high looks with a towing capacity of just over 3 tons and with a base price of just $26000.00 euro's unlike the rest of our s.u.v. quintet it's the only relatively affordable choice. by the way thanks to modern d.s.p. systems scenes like this are nowadays largely
