well you. see there on t.v. and this is climate change sex. happiness in 3 books. this is the chance for you to. get smarter for free you know where your books. are. we are living during the most extraordinary time your street. price supports will go for the electric. he also admitted

it. had you know that dreamed of being a part of flying your own com. out of fear the more people who've been to sort it all. you've got a chance to know their music i mean you look at yourself a little bit. maybe your dream is to be james bond or at least 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 up at a drive us and it is full of. his dream is to build cars that you've never seen the full of these people all the time you can try. their machine moving before. they call you've made good. on the completeness of that at least. if you believe

you can move. on what's your dream. from africa. to do the bullshit. read that like you'll dreams come true. i know. i was flying. can't test. this is amazing guys fancy flying taxi to whisk you to your office for your next appointment these prototypes carry the promise of the new era in mobility my name is cassandra bo 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 i 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 and 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 mean 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 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 as now becoming reality my team and i are on our way. sky

drive we've had to sign a non-disclosure agreement about the technique 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 t.v. . or electric vertical and take off landing aircraft that includes global players in the automobile and aviation industries these service giants such as 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 in car from tokyo i find myself in the mountainous countryside in prefecture no sign of high tech robots and flying cars yet but i'm secretly hoping i get to take off today.

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 it's 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 axis which is supposed to be quieter with a smaller turning circle. 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. we got over that. if all goes according to plan sky drive will use

its flying cars taxis and 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 critical. however if you increase the number of motors you also have to build it much bigger. to figure out the right number of motors needed to ensure a safety of the same time keep the aircraft as compact as possible. in china and japan expectations. might spread in the near future are growing but

is it just tight for example aviation laws require aircraft to have a reserve flight time of at least 30 minutes that's beyond the reach of current prototypes which manage around 20 minutes that's because current battery technology cannot deliver enough power over such a long period and bigger battery seems more weight to keep airborne. another potential opponent is the whether 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 under 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. then there is the question of how to integrate e.v.t. aircraft into conventional air traffic one approach is clear defines 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. 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 but it's going to. the 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. because i was also told me sky drive has a new 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 flight and until that happens there are a number of times to go off the goals that we have to overcome and even more importantly these projects depend heavily on public acceptance the dream of flying carefree about the traffic it's getting closer but i do wonder can 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 jim fassel make a good james bond. who's just one player in the. a 4 time world champion on the tail of her majesty's most famous secret agent. for years as demotion misapply james bond's cars know the british lucky. the brand is trying its hand at for me the one again i knew how it was presented by dr is none strong and sebastian 1st of all the man who plays bond on screen here's a word from. james i know daniel craig here 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 1960 on water going from drivers sebastian back in

full time school champion outside to view his james bond. but we hope it will be all the other like double 07 i'm not well i think so actually there's a lot of pot industrial machine guns on the side of the chassis that limited the competition it's a big difference from the previous cars that i drove and i think it's nice that this you know all the buttons inside the cockpit. put down those 7 aston martin d b 5 kitted out with machine guns smoke machines and road chasing nonsense plates. all the things an agent needs to shake off his rivals. the diesel 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 how much of industry. well 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 bought 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 breakthrough rory showed up in the rearview mirror in golden eye. the production company had decided to build the italian motoring legend into its story lines. they

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

ferrari or 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. on into one cars are 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. learning how condemning had a thing for cars and technology and he was happy to get expert advice you know what's possible today and what might be possible in the future and one of the ideas was a radar tracker i need to. know what a forerunner to a modern navigation system. sometimes

briefly swaps his old aston martin classic for modern day com usually when futuristic technology is we quiet. he wants to have 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 dang that is 100 percent of i had thought. and this snake shaped notices street came in handy when bonnie needed a car that could go under was a. production design not 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 one and it's a monitor of us not the whole. once just once james bond issue technology and slammed it in a rented 2 c.v. for you i see. the rumor started this and i feel a bit like james bond myself. but it's not as if james bond was on his own and that 1st it was his partner molina. does money go. these are. direct but you got the feeling that the car could handle all sorts of terrain. even off road and 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 god it was

a one off not exactly typical james bond 01 of the new troopers for details 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 as to martin's 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 testify 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 to 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

what obviously is this great heritage in the brand of us tomorrow 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.v. fives at the session of no time to dine in the italian city of. bond has always been faithful to his asked in mind. he's got nothing else to love on him because all his personal relationships have ended or died over the years 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 much for. the beloved aston martin gets put to the test again in the latest film. action is the key to bond success at the box office. on the most spectacular car chases down to the stuntman 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 one film an issue in fuko i think. sebastian 1st of all drives his as to matson himself no matter what the conditions is it just a matter of time until his formula one car on 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 smoke 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 at home i'd say 91 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 the. next question about that last substantial is likely to drive the aston martin foster than anyone else before him whether he can steal the show from james bond not some of the story

it's my passion to own or build vehicles that look different. for me that means looking a little out of the box and being a bit crazy but for me. i want to be seen for. the connection is the head of the swiss company rin speed near cyrix it's known for technological innovations in the automotive industry and turns heads with its unusual concept cars. like the 2007 axis created by experimenting with new materials. the axis this is the only transparent glass well actually plastic vehicle in the world. every year when speed launches a prototype meant to provide new impetus for the automotive industry. i want to spread ideas and impulses i can try to motivate and stir positive emotions our

a realist. crazy doesn't exclude sustainability we're still trying to be both and this and so i enjoy being called crazy as in german that also means i get things moving. in the k'nex inventions are a unique chapter in the history of cars. in the past 25 years the world has changed my cars have changed and i myself have changed each vehicle was a sign of the times and they were all important cars of course i would construct all 26 of them differently today. on the spot. and enthusiasm for the world over are eagerly waiting to see what clinical next next concept car will look like.
