the go for the electric. play the bad. rap the also an ability sharleen luck. with that part of it without the noble. so how is the current affairs pandemic killed mobility why has it just changed how we want to get around. it i know about sometimes it's going to be too i thought soit beastie go on is going to divide thoughts but it's nice no this all turns on the issue for me to talk to spot on of course some things will never change like the need for speed but the transport back has cleaned. this car it's so much fun to drive so much. people in so still need taxis need me to balance driver he's adapting to the coronavirus challenge but he's used
2:32 am
to dealing with difficult passengers so let's go. our world has changed. 19 as affected every country in the world. and i am officially declaring a national emergency personal mobility brings new dangers and may never be the same again this is. what does this mean for transport industries how might the future of cars be affected what will our mobility look like in the future. my name is christoph johann i have worked as an automobile journalist for several decades i am searching for the mobility solutions of tomorrow. in a world with coronavirus in it. the pandemic restrictions have had a radical impact on our city's normally busy streets such as here in downtown
2:33 am
berlin have become far emptier. berlin's underground rail network is also much emptier with passenger numbers a fraction of normal levels small wonder given the chance of infection here is far greater than in cars or on bikes. i spoke to professor bob lentz head of transport research at germany's aerospace center for her the shutdown has provided a rare opportunity for new research. it's i really shouldn't say this out loud but it's been a really exciting case for us it's something we could never simulate. hide a stone past findings we expect cars and individual vehicles to become more important again our individual vehicles includes bicycles especially in the city so . it's difficult to say at the moment whether sharing will be able to further expand. own consciousness to what's really suffering at the moment is public
2:34 am
transport. this is going on. but will the auto industry be able to bounce back. and in one form around the world car production lines have ground to a halt. instead many carmakers are now producing medical supplies here at c.n.n. for example they've developed respirators driven by windshield wiper motors. meanwhile some romantic aspects of cars are being appreciated once more the good old drive in cinemas for instance such as here in s.f. . and this is no ordinary parking lot in bushmills northern ireland a christian community is gathering at a drive in chapel. a strong castle is our god wrote martin luther but these believers also trust the fortress of their car for additional protection better safe than sorry. did even musk know something we didn't when he presented his

cyber truck in late 29000. maybe post grown up more people wanted an indestructible car that mad max would be happy to take in the battle. but even if we don't end up facing a fury road style apocalyptic world it's not hard to believe that now more than ever as u.b.s. will gain in popularity cars that are built to last heavy duty indestructible. cars that give us maximum protection when we venture into the outside world. the last survivors out there. of course if we're going to be seeking more refuge in cars the interior will be even more important in the future when you get into your car you want to have the perfect conditions right. i wanted to talk to a specialist on the future of automotive design professor paolo to manelli normally
2:36 am
works in cologne germany but he got stuck in lockdown in italy. i decide on the one hand the car is being rediscovered as a means of freedom. i can really only get around with my car on the other hand cars are becoming a safe place. the idea of automotive protection back to 911 in america. in the year after the twin towers fell sales of s.u.v.s increased by 30 percent. people feel protected in s.u.v.s one through 6 you know as you've used to should. so how will cars look after the pandemic. you can really lead. in these coronavirus times we have been experiencing a lack of social contact act. one longs to be with others but it is forbidden so the hats gloss capsules will come back. they were
2:37 am
a big part of car design in the 1950 s. and were also popular in the eighty's and ninety's give us in future we may not be able to protect ourselves from other people's viruses but glass is just as effective as sheet metal and more social. and it exists. the trend towards innovative interiors was already growing before coronavirus showed up. car designers are clearly more focused on what they can do with the inside of a vehicle and seem to add the exterior as an afterthought. the interior design though is where we think you will see the biggest amount of change in the next 5 years take that b.m.w. vision i next for example huge resources have been put into developing an interior that seems to wrap around the passengers like a 2nd skin and offers them all the comforts of home. and announce who in the near
2:38 am
future the time you spend in a car interior will become more and more valuable and from a customer perspective more and more relevant and. the industry calls it could. like the cocoon of a caterpillar the interior of the car should surround the passengers and protect care and also entertain them i can't imagine that it would be really great for a vehicle to have also this kind of feeling in it thank you feel anything you feel safe it's a little bit like a cuckoo you feel protected also by the surrounding you are just with yourself and whatever you need so if you need to acknowledge eat you can use it but if you don't need it then you can just you can just leave this side and it's heat in. the mercedes vision a b.t.r. doesn't feel like you're inside a car at all inspired by the blockbuster avatar the a.v. t.r. features smooth transitions between inside and out in fact the outside world is only an extension of the inside. of the

audi amy driving car is another vehicle designed to fulfil its passengers every need. while the car takes care of the driving itself passengers have time to deal with other things. so the krona pandemic might just beat up changes that are already on their way. as i head home i go through all the potential impacts the coronavirus crisis could have on cars and mobility. first the rise of s.u.v.s is likely to strengthen even more they offer protection and comfort during tough times. second inside is the new house. and 3rd glass is the new metal. so maybe things won't be so bad after all.
2:40 am
911. as we saw after $911.00 the effect of such an event is felt for around half a year or so then things start to return to what we thought of as normal before. yes with the 4 because. of course the car is just one of mobility solutions there are other even more personal ones out there on t.v. we. live in your apartment feels a bit risky the states. this bike can be my life saver during the crisis i'm going to take you to a journey through bilin during corona times and tell you how. riding my bike through berlin gives me a sense of freedom and normality at least for short right. i want to know how
2:41 am
other cyclists feel about the issue ever try to interview people on a bike not so. much. the food channel i have a protective mask on all day in my clinic and when i get outside and finally get to take it off it's fantastic. progress cycling and walking in the only thing you can do now without putting yourself at risk because of that as it comes that it's a wake up getting from a to b. and at the moment it's healthier to night i'll be able to wash and. let's ask a doctor about the advantages of taking a bike if i were to get sick this is where i get my coronavirus tests from my local doctor squeezes in some time for an interview but outside than inside cycling using the bike with me in the city it's good for everybody it's good for your movement it's it's it's good for. their physical education and
2:42 am
physical exercises for everybody so i think it's it's a good way to to keep on moving. during those days when everybody needs to stay home. is there any way that i can get infected riding my bike through college. you know but as long as you keep the distance a 1.5 meter to other people there's no risk to get infected. maybe you should keep a distance for felt the worst when you when you tend to do the traffic light and and there's a lot of bikers so of course you can stop maybe a little bit before so then you can avoid any risk of. the corona virus is less likely to spread on a bike than on the subway where people are close to each other politicians here in
2:43 am
germany have recommended that people biking to work also to leave the subway less crowded. it never felt so pleasant to ride your bike through berlin to. here from new york as the only quieter than usual and more relaxed if i was on the road at 7 it would be even nicer when i'm still in bed than more proper term. and berlin is now creating more space but cyclists since less cars on the road but the number of bicycles remains high sunburn and just tricks on implementing more bicycle lanes and making existing monsters why do you have to mark your must argument i can see from the old markings how narrow the cycle lane used to be now
2:44 am
you have the space and protection you need you're supposed to be one and a half meters apart from other cyclists so that means wider cycle lanes stormont an extra lane for bikes a bit. to move. cycling activists in cities around the globe have been fighting for years for more space in cycling it's for them the coronavirus and changing mobility also presents an opportunity for you to really see the positive side here of the corona crisis one can say yeah i imagine all the time how it would be was less cost like here all the cars parked could be just. you could plant flowers so put the chairs off the cafe's there could be a playground for everything. you
2:45 am
summed up your bike can be a lifesaver corona crisis because it not only helps us to keep that distance when we move outside it keeps us fit and for us here in berlin even helps us to see the bright side of the cross. today i've got something really special for you guys or should i say already has something really special for us because this is the eat drawn as sport break what's special about it well we're it's a proving ground of all the sports and this car is in a pre-season restate. you don't get to drive
2:46 am
a car really often that is not yet really finished so let's go. to be fair the car is more than 90 percent finished so it's not going to fall apart while driving all wheel drive suspension and technical features will be almost the same when it goes into serious production. there will be some minor tweaks but that's it. it's not a coincidence that showing this car because they are celebrating 40 years of quadro. the name quatro will forever be associated with how these motor sports success in the 1980 s. when it seemed almost every rally race was won by a car with that distinctive audi profile. 4 wheel drive was that new but it had
2:47 am
been fitted in mass production all rally cars before. audi continually refined its quatro technology over the decades but it's no longer needed with electric motors that sit directly at the axle as with each on. its own it's thank you quick look at. the car 370. 973 new to me. that's incredible no one needs that much so much fun. with such amazing torque you can get the wheel spinning even if pretty low speeds. at least if you deactivate the p.s.p. or set it to dynamic mode. now i've got a surprise for you guys i'll be getting in the passenger seat and then i'll take a spin around the track with 4 more really neat champion. stick to one crease.

stick 1984 world rally championship without the high point of his almost 30 year career he started with saab in his native sweden before joining the german manufacturer just after the quatro was introduced. overall he raced in more than 120 events winning the rallies of sweden san remo and new zealand among many others he actually trained as a driving instructor before opting out for the wilder side on the rally circuit. being a true petrol head stick isn't exactly a friend of electric cars so let's see. what do you think about. this cannavaro. i have just changed my mind in a bit because this car. is now there done a fantastic deal and they give the shelf there on this car because.
2:49 am
this car is doing. something weight the current is incredible. that he tried to pass weighs in at around $2.00 times but you barely notice that while driving it makes the dash from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour and 4.5 seconds. so let's quickly wrap it up this car is so much fun to drive so much fun but does anyone really need a car with that much power. no but it helps raising awareness that the mobility can be really fun and well nice. there's still no official launch date or price tag for the back but it's bound to
