well those 4 kicked off just like a match day 22 with a bang on friday night they dismantled struggling below fed to continue their impressive season maximillian arnold scored the pick of the goals his final left footed strike camp to 3 mil win for the wolves move up to 3rd place in the table at least overnight you know felt couldn't find the form that saw them draw with champions byron last weekend and remain deep in relegation trouble. you're up to date now on d w news america haven't seen thanks for watching. they want to know what makes the germans he just wanted to join the love on banning going away from. the night and out towards my own car and everyone was late holding everything. are you ready to meet the demands and join in the right just do it under. how does

a virus spread. why do we panic and when will all this. just through the topics covered and we could read your blog. if you would like any more information on the krona laroche or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast you can get it wherever you get your podcast you can also find us and. science. traffic jams crowded trains and cheer and those waiting nothing in building stresses me out more than trying to get from one place to another but the only one traffic is a growing concern in many large status across the globe small technologies can help us solve this case how exactly that's all a topic on shift today. outdoor

many still use cars as their main mode of transportation aside from air pollution and the climate crisis this also has a huge drawback more and more traffic jams in paris for example drive us are stuck bumper to bumper about 165 hours a year. that's nearly as solid week in your honking at strangers but probably not for long in autonomy passengers can use the drive to do something much more productive i for one wouldn't mind brushing up on my friends but for this day to come there are still a lot of things left to work out and the biggest challenge developers still face is humans. driverless cars use their versions of senses to control themselves autonomous like. but so far these cars have merely recognize a pedestrian as objects of motion. ai systems are unable to calculate pedestrians

unpredictable behavior or to properly understand their body language. london based tech company humanizing autonomy and other research institutes are working to develop models for human behavior in traffic. this data will hopefully then train a ton of us cars. so humans very complex especially when we come cities we can treat them with normal motion tiny where there are expertise is in combining behavioral psychology with statistical and deep learning. for protest regions too it's important to be able to communicate with autonomy as car the normal eye contact and gesturing more help. developers are working on interfaces that could be used to signal to pedestrians whether or not they can cross the street by using light signals in the windshield for instance. there is

a problem though protests train behavior in non-verbal communication differs around the world. if you look at for example in meaning. no one will. ever come to london be about jaywalking all the time the great thing about vegas today and of course they're trying to actually goes on speech is that you know their vehicles know where they are and we have a mission that for each of these places it would be a different set of models that would be used but each of these spaces and these models would be fine tuned specifically for that road. clearly there's still a long way to go and that's what experts from all around the world gather regularly to discuss future mobility solutions like at berlin's the for trade show one main topic is how can a driverless car seat or more specifically which sensors does it need to recognize and respond to its surroundings as well as to be expected in the mosque has
7:20 am
a very strong opinion on that matter let's take a closer look. at thomas carr's use cameras to alter sound and radar to analyze their surroundings as well as the more modern lidar sensors that use lasers . to call in these lines in. these different types of sensors because radar and lidar can calculate the distance to objects very accurately but they don't capture enough details to recognize what these objects really are and when it comes to humans it's the camera that's best equipped to detect what their intentions are that is to so i can are they about to cross the road or not you know i just wasn't. the industry's top companies are increasingly setting their sights on light on technology which stands for light to tech and ranging here sensors attached to the car sent millions of laser impulses every 2nd this creates a precise 3 d. image of the surrounding objects test last. elon musk recently ruffled some
7:21 am
feathers when he said leiter was too expensive and that cameras radar and ai systems would suffice tesla uses only radar radio waves are used to measuring objects distance and speed using this data and the camera images a 3 d. image of the surroundings is then created with the help of a hockey. flowing on pity roboticist and manufacture of light are systems disagrees with the law must. be freely and there is the problem is that cameras don't offer direct information about distance and radar isn't high rez so there's missing information on what this means you need another source of information to be able to navigate safely the question here is can you said cost and safety and i for one i'm absolutely against this in my opinion mobility needs to be completely safe which also means using the best sense of the best. by the way experts believe one out of 10 cars on the road in 2030 will be self driving some are already

hitting the streets today like this and on this bus at a clinic in florida during the pandemic of a whole new advantage they can help minimize the spread but these are just precursors to truly a ton of those vehicles where a passenger only needs to punch in the destination turn over the engine and then lean back and relax. but do we really want to let a robot take the wheel is it even safe and who makes the better drive out man. dimensions i think humans are very good drivers but machines are better. it's not like their actual driving is better in every situation but they're always paying attention that many people get distracted by the fire in origin ice cream or drink coffee and that is the problem humans just always paying attention and machines of programs always be attentive which is why they have to drive as a rule of the longest the president. is
7:23 am
a moment is going to the moment it's definitely humans who are the better driver seen as the machine offers good support especially in emergencies but humans are definitely better when you know in the future it will definitely be the machines they've vantage of an automated system one is that it's always activated it has a $360.00 degree view and it's crucial for the city and it has a general understanding of the situation what are the other road users planning to do. right now i would definitely say mad in the city for sure. but man makes lots of mistakes and this. led to and continues to lead to lots of injuries and that in cities themselves i'm optimistic at the end of feature we will have automated systems that create a safer and more pleasant city for already exists. how could a robot possibly be a better driver than walk. but joking aside how different intelligence does have some obvious advantages it never gets tired or distracted and it always keeps it
7:24 am
cool i wish i could say the same about myself either way vehicles console the issue of in the city congestion on they all they need additional digital assists life software they can factor in my preferred mode of transportation for my current location and the time of day to find the quickest most efficient way to get where i'm going next but it's it would have teamed up with great minds across europe to develop just that. team as a smart navigation system for all. road users cars bikes buses and trucks it's a project that's designed to regulate the entire traffic and help everyone to reach their destination faster. the sat nav supplies information on traffic jams and makes recommendations. for instance what speed the driver only to travel at to make the next green light the i knew him as a real challenge in traffic management was to understand the needs of all road
7:25 am
users trying to get from a to b. . then this needs to be analyzed and reconciled with what's actually possible within mobility in the future i could definitely see new technology helping us to react in a more dynamic way than. team would send data to traffic management centers while it simultaneously navigates road users traffic management would then be able to react to the various situations immediately they could adjust traffic like durations and speed limits change the bus schedule at short notice divert heavy traffic on to unused bus lanes and much more these decisions would have to be made visible on the street you immediately. move if i say traffic lanes will be used more dynamically than i have to think of a way to do that maybe with l.e.d.s. or something what can i bring into the space to make it more dynamic. virtual traffic lights could be an option if there are lots of cars maybe we need a traffic light but if the road is quiet then this could simply be displayed in the individual vehicle for us to go. if concepts like these can reduce traffic in
7:26 am
berlin and other cities then great but if i'm being honest the syphon out in me was hoping the future of mobility would look a little cooler like flying cars lucky for me there already research is out there working on some crazy new ideas check these are. the flywheel is an autonomous lead driving vehicle which could replace cars the wheels can be connected to one another to. longer units. are designed to use existing subway and railway tunnels as a form of collective transport and then they can disconnect again to bring the passengers to their exact destinations the idea came from architects. just think it's i don't think of the fi world as a form of motorized private transport like a car but it's not a public transport either by the subway it is something in between it takes the
7:27 am
best of both worlds and create something new which we've called a collective my billet system predictive ability says. the bollock up there is an electrically powered autonomy's flying taxi that can bring passengers to their destination much quicker than other means of transport. the developers aim to reduce the number of vehicles on the road whilst also reducing air pollution. and this is the hybrid a part that shoots through to almost at the speed of sound the idea came from tech visionary on musk in 2013 the air is sucked out of the 2 creating a vacuum which with barely any wind resistance propels the passenger capsules to speeds up to 1200 kilometers an hour developers around the world are currently working on hyperloop projects a 2 hour car ride say from abu dhabi to dubai would take just about 12 minutes.
7:28 am
with that i might even enjoy commuting to work every morning but it remains to be seen if we go like these would be a bailable to the wider public if they remain toys for the super rich whatever happens expos all around the world are working hard on the future of mobility if i had my way i'd hop off my balcony directly into my flying car then use a bike for shorter routes for example and the bike. the future of mobility how do you imagine it what would you would. to see others know what you think i can't wait to hear your ideas that's it for me for today see you next time.

given a special status but be completely normal beyond this look of shock like wow there's a jew at our school dance about seeing 11 teenagers 11 stories. based on jewish and soviet. german and jewish starts february 22nd on d w. liz . liz. we are living during the most extraordinary time in history.
