transportable before the electorate. at the bottom. of the bottle and mobility show. do we really need all these vehicles. some people are dreaming of a life with less traffic we want to have a city where we don't just see cars in parking lots everywhere. so what might the city traffic of the future look like. just imagine the drive the ability to clean and for free i but where should we go if we still think driving cars is a lot of fun but i. cover all different vehicle groups. and could you master the safety systems on award winning hybrid x e 40. 3 systems there. be

on the safe side of cars and mobility right now on ram. 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. vs have topped the 1000000 mark in germany even though they're also seen as gas guzzlers and climate killers they're the fastest growing segment for the global card history. of sports cars are all about pace passion of the sheer uncompromising thrill of driving nobody but. was the ford mustang is the world's best selling sports who pay the quintessential

pony car since its launch $964.00. the 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 sports car. in the sports car was not merely a mode of transportation it's the imagination. engine company. this ultimate marriage of design and engineering promised a way of life freedom 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. and on game console. in the virtual world these cars deliver plenty of action. some new models now even get launched in video games. and if that what's your appetite how about one of these get you a stinger. the b.m.w. for 40 i grant. my goal with a lexus l z 500. 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 with. a quick look under the hood before we get going the stinger has a twin turbo v. 6 engine that cranks out 269 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 designed. 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 winning it almost 2 tons. in germany the stinger sells for a base price of around $56000.00 euros it's tricky. surprising performance as the

nickname but. there's nothing poor about the $500.00 which uses lex's styling in class inside and out. lexis is the luxury brand of japanese carmaker toilet were eager to show that they were among the front runners not only among hybrid cars. are matched by the way it hugs the road. it's developers were granted triple the usual time to toil antique are away at the new model. last. the result is life in the fast lane a trip that will have your heart pounding 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 euros. a whopping 12 leaders again 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 channeling that history. unlike its predecessors on the race track it's not meant to tear up the record books. with its fair share of luxury extras. and $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 the legendary straight 6 engine. and as you're thrust back into your seat after shifting down a gear you get their 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 tycho on is powered by a 560 kilowatts and it's all electric sports car you can drive with a clean conscience.

today we're going to have a look at this. for. the call the x e 40 isn't exactly a new car as compact and c.v. claimed the european car of the year trophy in 2018 and its fresh looks made the swedish best seller a real crowd pleaser. you can also choose a contrast in roof color to make your car really stand out. well what's new about its or to be precise because of the. when

is the 1st plug in hybrid power train for this car according to w t p tests it only needs around 2 to 2.5 liters per 100 kilometers 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 challenge want 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's priced quite nice but you can feel the way now the extra 40 has never been a review of speeding all the stuff you definitely penfield the punishment stop exhilarating but with around 7.3 seconds from 0 to 100 with this hybrid

combination with you when you race. but speed was never the point of this fall though what it's aiming for is fuel economy. the hybrid system pegs mean different driving molds named hybrids and power in pure you'll get all electric driving meaning the car is on the he was in the electric engine it's good post to sell after 125 k. made and then ran off the number but just quite nice when you'll both be driving in the city after that when the battery is emptying you can plug it in then charge it up or use the internal combustion engine to give the battery some additional juice in the house but 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 also have the 30 year old we have one. do with most of the time and then there's the performance mode

where both engines are running in parallel all the time to give you the maximum performance for whenever you feel the need for. the science the 3 driving modes the x c 40 offers a whole range of safety systems functional has always been at the forefront of driver safety. engineer kneels borland 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 benefited humankind during 100 years and in 1985. with head side a neat airbags of all the x e 40 scored top marks in the euro and c.a.p crash test. emergency brake assist and active lane keeping assist come standard. class cross traffic a little more into a 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 as they were pretty much flawless for me it's the way you control them because to activate or the activate the systems we have to do for through the and for payment stream there are menus on top of menus that open up even more menus and i don't know or maybe it's just personal preference then 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. please be in the countryside probably isn't the best territory to achieve from sometimes that are close. it would mean 2.5 to 100

kilometers. i'm not saying that this impossible to achieve both numbers but driving here throughout the day most of the time in the hybrid vault we ended up with something close to the 7 or 8 meters per 100 feet and meet us so what's the verdict at a hefty starting price of $49000.00 euros the x e $48.00 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 the gas but for running errands around town or commuting to work the sleek looking volvo will get you there economically and safely. our cities are failing us. affects us all to piece this all future generations can

look forward to i like to have a city where they don't need to worry about the machines and i think what do we do to improve the way we move in our cities for but it's very smart to join us on a journey we're architects engineers and activists face up to the challenges of our future urban mobility. traffic chaos. 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. in a city like public transport with ok bicycle. and we see all the cars next. the universe

the boding. the student space we have free public transport and they come by car and i think that's not. all over the world urban traffic 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 to. environment is occupied with cars and nobody has the freedom to live in the city in a way and that if you turn off the cities is the future of mobility in a new way. the global design studio draft is developing visions of our future urban mobility. its founders last crooked arrogant thomasville are specialists in urban planning and sustainable architecture may expect future generations to have

far more choice in how they move around their cities will be the child all of us. will probably walk quite. some distance because the neighborhoods will be without too much traffic jump on a car maybe that leads then to a connection that probably will take their child into the air and landed right on the walk in place. of 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 today. but what could he. the place of private cars and initiatives free highly

flexible public transport system. our urban mobility 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 transport of people and. whatever. in germany 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. 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 living the drive units into the wheels themselves placing nickel components as far into the corners as possible to make more interior space usable. and that frees up space on the roads. 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 inflexibly in. the city were aggressively change as we share. it is public or private leaving the possibility for the soon to come back to the people meaning we need less parking spots. we basically need the cars or the planes or the drones whatever it is too long

so we need new spaces. transportation. in the near future digital networking will drive our mobility. shufflers idea forces people using autonomous vehicles from the 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 are we really ready to have robots driving everywhere. and again schools are good it 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. because again but can 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 our politicians that we want to have a city where we want to live in where we don't. see cars and parking lots everywhere but where we can 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 with them by possehl all the metro for the underground and we can take a partner consol. the german city of outspokenness trying to get cars out of the city by offering free public transport in the central zone. since january 2020 people can also take out a mobility subscription that gives them unlimited access to the city's fleet of bikes and cars the package costs around 3 years 50 per day. is 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 ads like the internet does these days. just imagine that driving a mobility is actually clean and for free why because it's the 3rd 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 advertisements 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 more from space for the people and i think a city with all costs can have a lot more opportunities than a city with calls. 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. the discourse on the topic. and then use these could be i'm a texan. past 27 years. have not been easy. i have 4 children 3 boys and. my wife and. children are suffering right now about. what you could not.
