the mating call of a stag. tiger whatever is not the chirping of a sparrow. office mature sound like that does something to a driver men are said to need bellowing noise that signifies. the greatest does this buzzing sound 0 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 amount of power. the challenge is to develop that power for electric cars. it does a power. 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. feel good does it not matter too that's just part of it

for many people with. the big engine big sound great sound light soft 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 lector 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 entering reversing. it's not that the e.u.

wants to make the world sound better and cooler for us all it's about safety you have to be able to hear if an electric car is just 10 meters away heading at you or 20 kilometers an hour. and the sound has to be distinctive and easy to hear those fish cut out for one sound design or just want to shape the experience of those inside the car as well as outside it's also about branding. despite of my my 50 years ago most cities had a special distinctive sound and it had to do with the substance of the cars the sound was authentic just like it 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. 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 and often quite convincingly other 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 pendennis 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 traveling 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 it she feet again i wouldn't say that times have changed i take a trip to the i.t. 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. at the touch of a button i can fly anywhere i desire automatically. 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 hot and not all

the animals were friendly you can ever have virtual experiences like that ok i need . to know you 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 a 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 my job is to figure out where i am. the

tourism industry hardly uses virtual reality it's cool that it's dealing with all the problems at the moment due to the coronavirus pandemic and the other problems lie ahead technology is moving forward at every rapid pace many believe that in the not too distant future journeys will become competition for tourism and the real love. we can get in the next 510 or 20 years will 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 not exactly and it's interesting ethically i may always have to tell people that the reality is virtual reality and we're always having problems like that today i can't tell if the nooses fake or a photos have been retouched and b. our technologies of the future will bring that to a whole new level. mixing up realities that won'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 to break out. 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 you're visually experiencing something different than the body is and it can lead to 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 tour 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 and with them their own market brands are beginning to take notice.

well documented by one that's long been dominated by men and. the fish is a women only event they want to break the stereotype. yes it's money cannot win by money you know what your children partner at home call friends you haven't seen for a while get on your motorbike and head to petra lads to do something that's just for you these guns out. for years ago if they were called make founded what's now europe's biggest women only motorbike festival petra lets. her aim was to get more women interested in motorbikes and to connect them with each other. for fun calling every year we see a handful of women who don't have motorbike licenses and who aren't into the scene by the next they have a license and come by motorbike at home. and 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. more than twice as many men have mark to bike licenses 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 wonder which 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 the suspension to kick. in the past women were often

just used as decoration to sell much to buy. but that's changing slowly and the industry is taking note women pikas are a force to be reckoned with. these women are born to be wild the global motorcycle market is riding high with some 100000000000 euros in 2018 it's expected to keep growing and that's done some parts to women. 2 wheels 4 wheels big car or small louder quiet transportation and travel is changing or getting from a to b. may be the main objective will never be the only reason for getting behind the wheel or the handlebars we're glad that you came along for the ride today that's all for this week's made you next time and the mean time to be sure to check us out
