please forgive me. for we are years actually on fire. we are living during the most extraordinary time for street. crime support for growth for the electorate. but. what about. the old to admit that

it. had never dreamed of being a prime minister of mind your own calm possibly both the art of people who've been . sort of all. you've got a chance to know their music i mean if you want to insult people. maybe your dream is to be james bond or it's nice to drive his car. well i'm not james bond and i'm sure that i would drive a lot faster than james bond does but i think we both will as we are better drivers and. his dream is to build cars that you've never seen the full you know you go all you can problem on. me before. my call you get to help me i'll fall. leaves with a leaf would hunt. between you. and what's your dream.

from up here. to do the bullshit. red bull make your dreams come true. or not. i was flying. i can testify. this is amazing guys fancy flying taxi to whisk you to your office for your next appointment these prototypes carry the promise of a new era in mobility my name is cassandra bunker and i'm ready for takeoff. just time travel into the future some experts say flying cars will reduce traffic jams in urban areas lower pollution and say travel today again exclusive

access to one of the developing companies and to find out more about their technology in 2020 this single seater prototype had its 1st pilot test like staying up for about 4 minutes and 10 meters above ground not long but that could change soon the makers of sky drive want their big old to be market ready by 2023 as an air taxi approach japan's main island on shoes. when i think of flying cars i think of that to the future disney's meet the robinsons and my childhood cartoon the jetsons these movies and t.v. shows kind of shape an employer and what i think a flying car would look like and how it will be operated i can't believe that our side by magination is now becoming a reality my team and i are on our way to. sky drive we've had to sign

a non-disclosure agreement about the tech we are about to see and even the secret location of the research facility. is just one of about 80 companies around the world working feverishly on. or electric vertical and take off landing aircraft that includes global players in the automobile and aviation industry these service giants such as birth and smaller startups like japan sky drive or germany's. supporters say that they can help solve the traffic problems of today and future megacities at the lower environmental and financial cost and helicopters critics argue that the technology and necessary infrastructure are practically on affordable that flying cars in the end will be only for the elite it's about 4 hours by train and car from tokyo i find myself in a mountainous countryside in prefecture no sign of high tech robots in flying cars yet but i'm secretly hoping i get to take off today.

who coming up here was already quite in the venture but right now i'm standing in front of the are in the center of sky drive and the location is top secret the air mobility startup was founded in 2012 and is backed up by toyota and behind these doors is where the magic happens so let's go in and take off and here it is sky drives prototype unlike helicopters it has 8 small plates distributed over 4 axes which is supposed to be quieter with a smaller turning circle skydive c.e.o. showed me around i soon found out no pilot's license test flight for me. air travel is available but still inconvenient but our goal is to create a compact and quiet aircraft that allows people to use the sky on a daily basis. if all goes according to plan sky drive will use its flying cars

as taxis into where ism and medical rescue but many technical hurdles remain. in the. current prototype is 8 motors. with 8 motors even if one fails the other ones can still carry the aircraft. so more motors provide more safety. because they really want to know however if you increase the number of motors you also have to build it much bigger. than less. goal is to figure out the right number of motors needed to ensure a safety net of the same time keep the aircraft as compact as possible. in china and japan expectations air taxis will be right spread in the near future are growing but is it just tight for example aviation laws require aircraft to have

a reserve flight time at least 30 minutes that's beyond the reach of current prototypes which manage around 20 minutes that's because current battery technology can not deliver enough power over such a long period and because batteries means more weight to keep air but. another potential opponent is the weather such aircraft cannot fly in windy or very rainy conditions. but i think that safety is a big part since this is an aircraft that can only be flown with approval by the ministry of land infrastructure transport and tourism one of the civil aeronautics act. in order to obtain this approval we need to achieve the same level of safety as passenger planes made by companies such as air bus or boeing you know. and. then there is the question of how to integrate each aircraft into conventional air

traffic one approach is clear defines paths from a to b. with decimated landing pads for example on skyscrapers this would of course require intense cooperation with regional aviation authorities not to mention complex tech infrastructure that requires a high level of automation. with remote driving there's no need for a pilot so it's very close to automated driving and eventually it will become fully automated and the aircraft will fly by itself i'd like to turn that into reality in about 5 years from the start of the service and it's going to come up. the optimism is infectious even though i missed out on a test flight i'm already dreaming of crossing tokyo bay in a flying car in the next couple of years. also told me sky drive has a 2 seater in the works. this has been quite a journey i learned

a lot about flying cars and i even got said to warn but let's be clear the ultimate goal for these vehicles is autonomy to fly and until that happens there are a number of time to go off the goals that we have to overcome and even more importantly these projects depend heavily on public the sceptics the dream of flying carefree above the traffic it's getting closer but i do wonder when these concepts aircrafts reach the mass market and actually fix urban gridlock as for the here and now my way back to tokyo is still pretty fast on the sheen concept so i am . sure that i would drive a lot faster than james bond. playing a different team maybe james holmes every day like.

the it's a mixture of science fiction and science fact excite people and maybe surprise people as well. it was about stem facts will make a good james bond. who's just want to be. a full time good champion on the tail of her majesty's most famous secret agent. who gives aston martin the supply james bond's cars know the british luck. the brand is trying its hand at for me the one getting the news that was presented by dr his land stall and sebastien festival and the man who plays gong to on screen here's a word from. james oh don't you crazy i just want to send a massive congratulations to all of the aston martin for getting back on to the f one group the 1st time since 1961 i'm going to try sebastian vettel 4 times for

trump you have to view his james bond. will both like that we will but we will hear them like double 07 i'm not well i think frankly there's a lot of buttons that's been receiving guns on the side of the chassis that limited the competition a big difference from the previous cars that i drove and i think it's new for this year all the buttons inside the cockpit. put down those 7 aston martin d v 5 kitted out with machine guns smoke machines and rotating niceness plates. all the things an agent needs to shake off his rivals. to do you guys made it cinema debut in 1964 in goldfinger it was the start of a beautiful friendship. think tension has written several books on the relationship

between james bond's cars and he was so much of industry. i think that without james bond aston martin would have gone under when the 1st film came out the car had a sensational effect it was the ultimate men's toy and suddenly they had so many orders they couldn't keep up with. sammy davis jr wrote a blank check and said give me that card i have to have it with the pop star and many pop stars and celebrities immediately ordered an aston martin paul mccartney bought one called mick jagger part one a good call. james bond driving his aston martin d b 5 always got away no matter who was chasing him. until 994 that is when a red ferrari showed up in the rear view mirror in golden eye. the production company had decided to build the italian motoring legend into its story lines. they

came here we discussed their use of the car it was. not then generous with a nice woman and that is important. still a crucial adjustment was needed to win over ferrari to the idea. and put that on the go over ferrari and all that it takes to install and so she won and that was good for that. to me the most it is even an aston martin doesn't overtake the ferrari. in this formula one season sebastian vettel is determined to break with that convention. confident we can overtake him more than one ferrari next season so yeah let's see how we get on but you know i'm not too bothered about

ferrari i'm not i think much more i'm looking on our side that we are able to extract the maximum of our potential so working together closely with a team trying to improve the car looking you know being obsessed about trying to find a detail that helps us to improve. going into one cars or changing all the time to keep up with technological developments. these modern racing cars are at the cutting edge so james bond's cars ian fleming who created the character made sure that. i mean how can leming had a thing for cars and technology and he was happy to get expert advice in what's possible today and what might be possible in the future and one of the ideas was a radar tracker i need to be involved. with what a forerunner to a modern navigation system. sometimes

briefly swaps his old as demoting classic for modern day com usually when futuristic technology is with quiet. people describe the b.m.w. by remote control in a high speed car chase around a parking garage. and there's still no such thing as a remote controlled car operated by cellphone doesn't but the idea is there is this is it theoretically possible it's a mixture of science fiction and science fact could it work yes let's take the idea a little bit further doing that these 100 percent of via trial. and this sneak which notices spree came in handy when bonnie needed a car that could go under. because i don't care production designer happened to see this car parked on the studio grounds and said we need

a submarine car i can make something of that one and it's 100 of us all to be the host country. once just once james bond issue technology and slummed it and iran are 2 c.v. for you i said and the. rumor started pursuing them i feel a bit like james bond myself. but it is not as if james bond was on his own and that 1st it was his partner molina who drove on. just one. but you got the feeling that the car could handle all sorts of terrain. even off road if you can the. best is you know that was part of the idea to get rivals the slip with the 2 c.v. on typical terrain for for god it was

a one off not exactly typical james bond 01 i wonder if troopers for details on. what is typical bond is that the films have served as launch pads for other as to motion models or testing ground swell pressure types the d b 10 was specially developed by aston martins engineers for spector. now that it's back to measure racing in which the british brand has a proud history numerous victories in the lamar 24 hour race testified to that. in the late 1950 s. aston martin also spent 2 seasons in formula one. and now it's back again. people are very excited obviously bringing us that martin back to formula one after 61 years it's great you know the team is based in the u.k. . so obviously all the british people are very excited about the return well

obviously there's a great heritage in the brand of us that martha it's very british and obviously james bond works for the. for the queen. reason enough for james bond never to drive a ferrari. where the bond goes the aston martin d b 5 is never far away for example they were 10 d.b. fives at the set of no time to dine in the italian city of. bond has always been faithful to his aston mom. well i think he's got nothing else to love because all his personal relationships have ended or died over the years that is he's a widower. he has no luck with women. women have no luck with him by phone or car there is one thing he loves till death do us

part as it were and that's his aston martin d b 5 mike and for him. the beloved aston martin gets put to the test again in the latest film. and is the key to bond success at the box office. and the most spectacular can't say says on down to the stunt men they take over from daniel craig when the going gets tough. the stunt men are the unsung heroes of the james bond franchise without them james bond films would never have been what they are on film and. sebastian vettel drives his as john motson himself no matter what the conditions this is just a matter of time until his formula one kong the aston martin a.m.r. 21 makes its 1st appearance in a james bond film. well i don't know i think there's a new film outstanding for last year was postponed to this year so i don't know if

probably it will be in the next one to. just doesn't make sense the idea of a james bond film is that he's put under pressure he gets into tricky situations and has to defend himself i can't think of anything more boring than a formula one car in a james bond film this long funny because that's how i see the engines one for. it all depends on the formula one calls a role in the movie. james bond and i'm sure that i would drive a lot faster than james bond does. i think we both will as we are better drivers that it was. no question about that sebastian faisal is likely to drive the aston martin faster than anyone else before him whether he can steal the show from james bond not some other story
