mobility show loop do we really need all these vehicles. the traffic. 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 that driving mobility this actually clean and for free i but where should we go if we still think driving cars is a lot of fun. our customers cover all different vehicle groups. and could you master the safety systems on volvo's award winning hybrid x e 40. 4 activate. the systems the on your menu with the more menu. be on the safe side of cars and mobility right now on ramp.

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. yet s.u.v.s 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 car district. sports cars are all about pace passion and 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 boss said that the last car ever to be built would be a sports car. 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. exclusive of independence the ideal get away from the daily grind. soon enough sports cars went from being on the 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 the. actually a stinger. the b.m.w. 440 i grant you pay my for the lexus l c 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 listen to. our clients who attend our training courses cover all different vehicle groups motorbikes passenger cars i pads and trucks so we cater to both private individuals

and commercial clients 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 just fine when needed almost 2 tons. in germany the stinger sells for a base price of around $56000.00 euros it's mix of price and performance as earnest the nickname.

there's nothing poor about the l c $500.00 which uses lexus styling in class inside and out. lexus is a luxury brand of japanese carmaker toyota 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 who are granted triple the usual time to toil and tinker 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 $100000.00 euros and this baby burns a whopping 12 leaders a gas for 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 co-pays channeling 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 and hear it roar. the perfectly configured to spend coupled with the

legendary straight 6 engine. 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 their 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 sports car you can drive with a clean conscience. today

we're going to have a look at. the goal of 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. it's. to be precise because of the. $5000.00 and is the 1st plug in hybrid poetry. and for this call according to w o

t p tests it only moves around 2 to 2.5 meters 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 channel 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 weight now the extra 40 has never been a review of speeding all the stuff you definitely can feel the polish when you stop exhilarating but with around 7.3 seconds from 0 to 100 but 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 3 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 new software 125 frame age and the rain off of you know which is 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 you with 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 mode you would drive the most in when you're outside the 30 year old we are going to go with most of the time and then there's the performer. small where both engines are running in parallel all the time to

give you the maximum performance for whenever you feel the need for speed. besides the 3 driving modes the x c 40 offers a whole range of safety systems bungle has always been at the forefront of driver safety. engineer kneels ball an invented the 3 point seat belts for the car maker back in 1959 the german patent office named the belts one of the 8 inventions that most benefited humankind during 100 years ending in 1905. with head side in neat airbags the volatile x e 40 scored top marks in the euro n.c.a.a. 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 with all the safety

systems and that's not the systems themselves as they work pretty much flawlessly it's the way you control them because to activate or the activate the systems we have to do so through the and for payment stream there are menus on top of manuals 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. please be really countryside probably isn't the best territory to achieve when sometimes that are close to being 2.5 meters per 100 kilometers. i'm not saying that this impossible to achieve both number

driving here throughout the day most of the time in the hybrid vault we ended up with something close to the 7 to 18 post but 100 feet up 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 pumped 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 fall bulb will get you there economically and safely. our cities are failing us. such 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 my head what can we do to improve the way we move in our cities to move but it's very smart join us on a journey where 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 with like lots of public transport with ok bicycle. and we see all those cars next to the universe to boating people like the students you have free. public

transport and they still come by car and i think that's not true. all over the world urban traffic pollution is choking us of the air we need to breathe. 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 broaden and while man has occupied this occurrence and nobody has the freedom to live in the city in a warm a true way and that 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 click of arrogant thomasville mind are specialists in urban planning and sustainable architecture they expect future generations to have far more choice in how they move around their cities. 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 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 all voluntary anymore between public transportation and individual traffic of the separation of both cities that we see today. but what could take the place of private cars and emissions free highly. a

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. traffic. in germany carsick unused for 23 hours a day on average each wasting about 12 square meters in parking space. that is 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 by moving the drive units into

the wheels themselves. nicol components as far into the corners as possible to make more interior space years of. and that frees up space on the road so lots of those costs. 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 will aggressively change as we share mobility if 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 for people using autonomous vehicles from the fleet working 247. b.'s 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. is done to you because you have the 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 can do 2 things firstly politically challenge our politicians that we want to have a city where we want to listen where we don't. see cars in 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. the metro for the underground and we can take part in a concert at. 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. 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 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 driving those 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 the city with all costs can have a lot more opportunities one of the 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. discourse on the topic. and then use these could be i'm a texan. 27 years. i've not been easy been. i have 4 children boys and my wife and you. know. you go to movies sometimes we go bowling.
