times are good or the. warming doesn't do very. good for the most well but yet. the industry is controlling your thoughts the great books of the 20th century. present a hoax is. raising the money to. a new stores may 3rd w. r o. we are living during the most extraordinary time in history. and support will grow for

the electorate. that. read the also and the bit it. has you know the dreamed of being a prime and a flying your own calm. no i don't want people to sort it all. you've got to go about their music i mean you have to give yourself a little bit. 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 i think we both will as we are better drivers than. his dream is to build cars that you've never seen the full. truth of all. who can crawl money problem better than if you made me before hope.

on monday all you needed to go told me i'll fall from the bottom believe me to me it would come to me between you. and what's your dream. from africa. to do the. red bull make your dreams come true. i was a flying car. talk. this is amazing. 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 bolt and i'm ready for takeoff.

it's just time travel into the future some experts say flying cars will reduce traffic jams in urban areas lower pollution and say travel today and get 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 flight staying up for about 4 minutes at 10 meters above ground not long but that could change soon the makers of sky drive want their beagle to be market ready by 2023 as an air taxi across 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 car to watch the jetsons these movie. shows kind of shape an employer and what i think a flying car would look like and how it would be. operator i can't believe that our

side if i imagine nation 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 me you're 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 evil. or electric vertical and take off landing aircraft that includes global players in the automobile and aviation industry these service giants such as and smaller startups like japan sky drive or germany's copter 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 an affordable yet flying cars in the end will be only for the elite it's about 4 hours

by train in 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. but who are 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 start up 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 accidents which is supposed to be quieter with a smaller turning circle sky drive c.e.o. showed me around i soon found out no pilot's license no 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 in twere ism and medical rescue but many technical hurdles remain. our current prototype is 8 motors. with 8 motors even if one fails the other ones can still carry the aircraft. more motors provide more safety. however if you increase the number of motors you also have to build it much bigger . goal is to figure out the right number of motors needed to ensure a safety but at the same time keep the aircraft as compact as possible. in

china and japan expectations air taxis will be quite 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 needs more weight to keep air for. 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 but since this is an aircraft it 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 up. and.

down and there's the question of how to integrate each aircraft into conventional air traffic one approach is clear defined paths from a to b. with designated 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. trouble 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 i'm going to read it it's going to. be optimism it's 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 has

a 2 seater in the works. this has been quite a journey i learned a lot about flying cars and i even got a warrant but let's be clear the ultimate goal for these vehicles is autonomy to fly and until. there are a number. and even more importantly these projects depend heavily on public assistance the dream of flying carefree above the traffic is 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 shinkansen siren out. thank you.

i'm sure that i would drive a lot faster than james bond. different to you know maybe james holmes every day life. in the it's a mixture of science fiction and science fact excite people and maybe surprise people as well. would sebastian factual make a good james bond. is just one thing i need. a full time good champion on the tail of her majesty's most famous secret agent. who did his aston martin the supply james bond's cars now the british luxury brand is trying its hand at formula one again a new car was presented by dr this land strong and sebastian festival and the man who plays bond on screen here's a word from. james oh daniel craig here i just want to send

a massive congratulations to all of that emotion for getting back on to the f one group the 1st transmission lines 61 of the controllers sebastian back to full time school champion out of the 2 of you his james bond. will both be felt that way but with all the other unlike double 07 time that we are. likely a lot of button does the machine guns on the side of the shot see the women in the competition the big difference from the previous cars that i drove and i think it's unusual to see all the buttons inside the cockpit. put them in a 7 aston martin d v finds a kid out with machine guns smoke machines and rotating niceness plates. full of things an agent needs to shake off his rivals.

the deal is made at cinema debut in 1964 in goldfinger it was the start of a beautiful friendship. 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 the sammy davis jr wrote a blank check and said give me that card i have to have it pop stars many pop stars and celebrities immediately ordered an aston martin paul mccartney bought one called mick jagger bought one called. 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 rearview mirror in golden eye. the production company had decided to build the italian measuring legend into its story lines. they came here we discussed their use of the crowd it was in the james bond style but not then generous with a nice woman and that is important. still a crucial adjustment was needed to win over ferrari to the idea. this occasion a woman protagonist over ferrari and overtakes him as well and so she won and that was good for last. year. the most it is even an aston martin doesn't overtake the ferrari. in this formula one season sebastian says so is determined to break that convention . confident we can overtake more than one ferrari next this

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 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 cause a changing all the time to keep up with technological developments. these modern racing cars are at the cutting edge so we're james bond's cars in fleming who created the character made sure that. the name had been lemming had a thing for cars and technology and he was happy to get expert advice what's possible today and what might be possible in the future losses and one of the ideas was a radar track or i need to be involved. more 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. he wants to have the b.m.w. by remote control in a high speed car chase around a parking garage. were there still no such thing as a remote controlled car operated by cellphone doesn't but the idea is there 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. and this sleek web shaped notices spree came in handy when bonnie needed a car that could go underwater.

the. production designer and the production designer happened to see this car parked on the studio grounds and said if we need a submarine car i can make something of that 100 of us not to get the whole. once just once james bond issue technology and slammed it in iran no 2 c.v. for you i 70. 3 crew members aboard this ordeal a bit like james bond myself. but it's not as if james bond was on his own and. first it was his partner molina who drove on. just wanted to. be able. to write but you got the feeling that the car could handle all sorts of terrain. even off road and.

that's is that was part of the idea to get rivals the slip with the 2 c.v. on typical terrain for going and it was a one off not exactly typical james bond 01 of the new troopers who drives on. what is typical bond is that the films have served as launch pads for other aston martin models or testing ground swell pressure types the d b 10 was specially developed by aston martins engineers phil spector. now that it's back to measure racing in which the british brand has a proud history numerous victories in the lamont 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 over. bringing us that martin back to formula one after 61

years it's great you know the team is based in the u.k. in england so obviously all the british people are very excited about the return well obviously is this a great heritage in the brand of us that 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. 5 episodes have no time to dine in the italian city of much. bond has always been faithful to his aston martin. but i mean he's got nothing else to love because all his personal relationships have ended or died over the years that he's a widower. for he has no luck with women or women

have no luck with him all or because there is one thing he loves till death do us part as it were and that's his aston martin d b 5 my thing for. 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 car chases down to the stuntman they take over from daniel craig when the going gets tough runs 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 food and food cart. sébastien 1st of all drives his asked in monson himself no matter what the conditions is it just a matter of time until his formula one company aston martin a.m.r. 21 makes its 1st appearance in a chain. film. well i don't

know i think they there is a new film outstanding fall last year which got postponed to this year so i don't know if probably it will be in the next one. 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 finding this on some engines one for. it all depends on the formula one calls role in the movie. was 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 than. no question about that was substantial is likely to drive the aston martin foster than anyone else before him whether he can steal the show from james bond
