i'm not overcrowded and they will not succeed in dividing us not succeed in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of this dictatorship. taking a stand global news that matters d. w. made for mines. is this what the future of transportation looks like probably not and it's not a time soon but when today's inventors and visionaries look at the streets sidewalks highways and even agricultural land of the present they see vehicles that could soon be dusty exhibits in museums or in the midst of change and that's our theme today are made from a to b.

the mobility of the future could have you with us well they're among the most popular passenger vehicles of the present s.u.v.s what began as a bare bones military vehicle the sport utility vehicle or as u.v. is now one of the most popular set of wheels on the road today's versions may be better engineer than their predecessors but they are still expensive large and not very economical critics say they clog up traffic and pollute the air they are a huge earner for the automobile industry just why are s.u.v. so popular what is it that fascinates so many drivers my colleague common went to take a look. bigger . all of the world's people are crazy about s.u.v.s.

or with being used as a status signifies. just the greatest feeling of driving around in the flesh. are the problems that they cause. and. here they're trying to. so let's get into gear and check what's behind the hype why is the world so obsessed with s.u.v.s. 40 percent of all passenger vehicles sold worldwide are some form of s.u.v. that's more than twice as much as just 10 years ago it isn't. in india in the e.u. one in 3 new vehicles is an s.u.v. in china it's even more and in the us it's almost one in 2. producers perspective it makes a lot of sense to produce as u.v. a car that looked like s.u.v.s because they're able to extract higher margins high

profit margins that it will be not much more expensive to produce to manufacture but they will be able to sell it at like price like 4050 percent higher. companies profit from the s.u.v. hype but that's only one side of the story because they wouldn't build them if people wouldn't buy them like crazy. when they started in the us he helped major car companies sell more of the. as a marketing consultant and if you ask him the secret as to why people are so attracted to s.u.v.s is rooted in our brain. to put it very very simply our brain is made up of 3 different brains the cortex the limbic system and the reptilian brain they constantly talk to each other but each of them has

a different job. the cortex is responsible for rational thinking it helps us make decisions solve problems crunch numbers everything that's kind of complicated limits system is all about emotions. and the brain is in charge of our most basic instincts that make sure we have breathing controls our sex drive and our fight or flight response s.u.v. is red julia is a. car bible and reproduction and stronger and more powerful than you i mean if you come with a little car and i have a b. s.u.v. and we crash. you're going to die and i'm just going to have to clean a little bit my issue with the media projecting this image that the world as never being so dangerous all 7 point one magnitude earthquake has hit southern california

massive tropical cyclone triggered a tsunami militants have attacked the stock exchange building you want to be a car when those around you know you want to be an s.u.v. that. the road building people to. is not. as you vs appeal to our most basic instincts and scowl make us target exactly those but of course s.u.v. drivers would never admit that they're just following their primal urges they give a more rational justification. and if you look at surveys as to why people are buying s.u.v.s many will say because they're safer and yes if you are in an s.u.v. and you crash with another car you are less likely to die. but s.u.v.s have a pretty high center of gravity and that makes them prone to rolling over which is actually really dangerous and also kind of obvious. they know the reality is that

the higher you are the more chance you have to roll over is more dangerous to have but it doesn't matter the rate brian so you feel you go stronger when you're on top of might be something like a lamb straight so by the time most cars get taller imagine you're in a smaller car in fact big and you see all those higher car taller cars than you might be incentivized to get a fuller car to just do it right in and be like intimidated by other people try it . people who drive s.u.v.s want to feel safe even if that means putting other side risk the front bumper of many s.u.v.s for example are so high that. or more likely to suffer serious head or upper body injuries in a crash so s.u.v. drivers are gaining something here at the expense of others and that's not just the case for road safety. boarding more s.u.v.s in the fleet that gets means

you have much leverage than the small cars and therefore they are higher yet the actual silt will only fuel i need them plenty more then you have to do it. the growing number of as you visas in fact the 2nd biggest cause for the rise in c o 2 emissions since 2010 ahead of heavy industry and aviation. emissions from other types of passenger vehicles actually went down over the same period. and all this is not really news to us we know s.u.v.s are bad for the environment but it's just too easy for us to brush aside these concerns. cortex things about abstract and complicated things that way in the future like climate change and how we can prevent it our emotional limbic system however is more of

a live in the moment kind of person and like self leslie the brand new s.u.v. looks and wants to drive off in it now and this instant gratification will often outweigh the distant an abstract concern like climate change to tell me that the environment is going to be bad in 1520 years and then really connect with me i've been there in 15 years so you know so we have to make people realize. that was used today and what they can experience today as some consequences today. and people around the world realizing that's more. that still doesn't stop more and more people from buying s.u.v.s. and up to all that you want to do you have to come up with the time to go on the beach you have to talk about computing don't get me. going to issue these that. i call c 2 i can't

do that i mean if you didn't just. need to have all factored in the same direction and so i liked more efficient engines more electricity growth but also worth more cars. and also shorter distances travelled. the villain creature sound we capable of rational thinking and yet why it's 2 like the very things that are bad for us. all right if cars can be seen as an extension of their owners egos what should we surmise about those who want to ride smaller more efficient electric like this little guy created out of sheer utility and definitely not sex appeal we sent our reporter to switzerland to talk to a man whose vision of the future is much more practical and emotional. 0 emissions no accidents no traffic jams then getting from a to b.

will be safe healthy and relaxed maybe. i'll give it a try. this is a prototype and peter clifton that is testing it he teaches at the university of the gallon in switzerland his work focuses on the future of mobility. oh are you driving such a tiny car there's only room for 2 a range is small so why does it it's ok because that's the future. 'd but i think we need them ability revolution. and micro mobility the more intelligent use of cars sitting in space is the only way to preserve mobility. what do tiny cars contribute to that. only occupies one 3rd of a standard parking space that's one aspect of another is that it's electrically

powered so it's more sustainable and average car occupancy no days as $1.00 people out and a car spends 93 percent of the time just standing around so this car is perfectly adequate for getting about in town. were bought instead if this thing would not have a better more ecological. part of it although i don't even like sour an alternative but i live in the countryside so i have a long ride into town i see the future is intermodal and that is i'll take public transport sometimes take the car to transport stuff or go out with my children plus electric scooters and other new things will come along they'll be a whole range of mobility solutions and tiny cars a one element past like mine i am not perfect but. as for drives like a toy car. so how will we be getting

around a few years from now i'm basically going to get one example so i want to go to berlin in the future we'll have apps on a full on the. platforms where you and your priorities efficiency cost sustainability. and where you will get corresponding recommendations including an itinerary. that my smartphone will tell me where i have to go and when and which means of transport i'll be using refined it will deal with payments as well leading. them to says we should do away with combustion engines in cars and he's shared cars rather than own one. i have the impression that is still a long way off people want to own their own cars and keep the cars they bought for as long as possible 1015 or 20 years and they run on gasoline something that is your vision simply unrealistic if we don't always be some private only shot of cars

but it's unthinkable to go to the entire planet with private cars even with everybody owning their own and i go far in terms of climate protection out of the question and i'm here with. the coronavirus pandemic has seen people shift away from often crowded trains and buses and use their cars more. claiborne there is a champion of public transport as part of the mix is his vision already obsolete. the industry was already going through a process of transformation of team has led to a slump in sales so the question of change and reinvention as increased dramatically. then says electric mobility can be fun it doesn't mean doing without all the good stuff as many people still seem to think he also says there's no way around it. right of cars will look different in the future

chances are they will also sound different a lot of us probably don't give it much thought but the noises a car makes matter not just for the gear heads love the sound of an engine revving for everyday safety if you can't hear it you might not know it's coming and that's why sound is being programmed into electric cars which are otherwise almost silent finding the right sound that's an art. for sound designers combustion engine noises are as complex as symphonies. and they provide the basis for developing artificial motor sounds for electric cars at present they sound like this. when did you know we're going to sit at the mating call of a stag. country or a tiger whatever it's not the chirping of a sparrow. office mature sound like that does something to

a driver manner said to meet at your bellowing noise that signifies. the time of greatest does this buzzing sound zen india doesn't have such an immediate and powerful impact but it could come to signify another kind of power that's expressive in its own right and of power. the challenge is to develop that power for electric cars. to move iti. disempower. car dealer benyamin dad it says a timid buzz just doesn't do it for him he loves the full throated growl and roar of $500.00 horsepower. fuel. that's just part of it for many people with. the big engine big sound great sound bite. that means performance passion fun behind the wheel when everything good and

exciting about driving as you head into the sunset in your sports car to move on and going fast. but how can a letter vehicles be fitted with a truly authentic sounding fake sound. in this we're going 151617 kilometers an hour the noise is minimal i'm going to tweak the sound quality. i've just boosted the higher frequencies. the new e.u. regulations says new electric cars will have to be equipped with an acoustic vehicle alerting system which makes a sound at low speed interior reversing. the. it's not that the e.u. wants to make the world sound better and cooler for us all it's about safety so you have to be able to hear if an electric car is just 10 meters away heading out you

are 20 kilometers an hour. and the sound has to be distinctive and easy to hear this was featured on for. sound design or just want to shape the experience of those inside a car as well as outside it's also about branding. despommier by my 50 years ago most eighties had a special distinctive sound and it had to do with the substance of the cars the sound was authentic just like i also came to stand for stability and safety those times over now you can fake everything so you keep wondering does anything actually sound like what it really is it's. driving pleasure reliability safety and authenticity can assume to be designed to suggest all that. well it does seem like everything can be imitated reproduced or fake these days the often quite convincingly or the battery or combustion engine cars still roll along

roads but if the entire journey were virtual across viruses decimated global terrorism there's one sector that stands to benefit from the pentagon and its associated travel bans are a virtual reality industry after all just because we can't travel doesn't mean we can't be transported. diving headfirst into the virtual world can we really go on a journey without travelling and how does it feel i'm giving it a try. i've always travelled as a reporter but i've also travelled a lot in my free time i've backpacked through asia and australia. and i'm starting to get itchy feet again i would say that times have changed. i take a church to the id experts at the university of hamburg french dynaco runs

a research group studying human computer interaction zz i'm going to take a trip in his virtual reality laboratory. teleport at the touch of a button i can fly anywhere i desire automatically. perhaps. i'm back at the old as a rock formation in the australian outback. while. the view is incredible. but it's not australia i can't feel the hot wind or hear any animals. i travel to the all goes almost 20 years ago we spent many a night out in the open it was a journey outside of my comfort zone and one on never forget it was hard and not all the animals were friendly you can ever have virtual experiences like that ok i

need. the bite is good we can only mostly experience things with our eyes and ears you have no sense of touch or temperature here to include all the senses you'd need to wear special equipment like your data suit data gloves and lots of cables that's not what we're aiming for and it's not really available yet anyway because it is but virtual reality does make more extreme traveling possible i can take a drive on the moon for example or i can climb mount everest things i could never do in real life in. the gaming industry is at the cutting edge of virtual reality towards in one game well traveler my avatar randomly land somewhere on the planet it's my job is to figure out where i am. the tourism industry hardly uses virtual reality a tool that it's dealing with other problems at the moment due to the coronavirus

pandemic and the other problems lie ahead technology is moving forward at a rapid pace many believe that in the not too distant future but will johnnie's will become competition for tourism in the real life. in the next 510 or 20 years and we'll have virtual worlds that you won't be able to distinguish from real life at least in terms of sound insight as much so that means we'll have to develop a new sense to know if something's real or not exactly. it's interesting ethically i mean i always have to tell people that the reality is virtual real and we're always having problems like that today i can't tell if a noose is fake or a photos have been retouched and we are technologies of the future will bring them to a whole new level. mixing up realities that don't happen to me it's easy for me to tell that this journey is virtual it's great but i feel sick now i need a break. sometimes your movement in the real world doesn't match what you're

experiencing in the virtual world it can lead to a conflict of the senses visually experiencing something different than the body is and it can lead to a feeling a bit queasy that was exciting but i'd rather travel in the real world this year i'm going to go on a bike till it's good for social distancing and good for the environment. and while we're talking about 2 wheelers what comes to mind when you think about a motorcycle rally burly men clad in leather you may be behind the times the fact is more and more women are heeding the call the open road and in recent decades they've carved out their own space for clubs rallies and group rides with their own market brands are beginning to take notice. well documented by one that's long been dominated by men. but

this is a women only event they want to break the stereotype. that's it's my kindle and by monday you know your children partner at home called friends you haven't seen for a while get on your motorbike and head to pet for lads to do something that's just for you these guns out. 4 years ago if they were called founded what's now europe's biggest women only motorbike festival. aim was to get more women interested in money to bikes and to connect them with each other. every year we see a handful of women who don't have motorbike licenses and who aren't into the scene by the neck they have a license and come by motorbike home. and thought having an impact on the market since 2011 the number of women with motorbike licenses in germany alone has risen by around a quarter to almost 5000000 and. still more than twice as many men have to buy

it says the industry remains very male centric. it's difficult when you go into a store i wanted something for me with different sizes and i was kind of intimidated their only guys in the store there guys they don't like even talk to you or if i'm on the road with my friends. to introduce themselves to my friends but they don't even like shake my hand that's been in my home to see all awareness is growing and as a target group were taken more seriously but there's still a long way to. for the motorbike market gets more female friendly especially in terms of clothing for nothing since attention to kick. in the past women were often just used as decoration to sell most to buy. but that's

changing slowly the industry is taking note women by kids are a force to be reckoned with. these women are born to be wild the global motorcycle market is riding high what's the my 100000000000 euros in 2018 it's expected to keep growing and that's some pots to women. 2 wheels 4 wheels big car or small loud or quiet transportation and travel is changing or getting from a to b. maybe the main objective will never be the only reason for getting behind the wheel or the handlebars are glad that you came along for the ride today that's all for this week's made see you next time and the mean time to be sure to check us out on twitter and facebook.
