to discover who. subscribed to documentary on you tube. i. see. we are living during the most extraordinary time history. of transport people before the electorate. look. at the bottom. of the model and mobility show loop do we really need all these vehicles. of

traffic. some people are dreaming of a life with less traffic we want to have a city where we don't just see parking also everywhere. so what might the city traffic of the future look like. just imagine the drive the ability to clean and for free i but where should we go if we still think driving cars is a lot of fun i. customized cover all different vehicle groups. and could you master the safety systems are involved award winning hybrid x e 40. these systems there are many many. more men to be on the safe side of cars and mobility right now on rec.

climate change and emissions limits have left their mark on driving for fun. sports cars may pump up the adrenaline but they also pump out pollutants like there's no tomorrow in germany sales are down to around $50000.00 a year. yet s.u.v.s have topped the 1000000 mark in germany even though they're also seen as gas guzzlers and climate killers they're the fastest growing segment for the global car district. sports cars are all about pace passion and the sheer uncompromising thrill of driving nobody but. was the ford mustang is the world's best selling sports who pay the quintessential pony car. 960 for. the porsche 911 is another icon of modern motoring and has sold over

a 1000000 units since it 1st hit the roads half a century ago. the 1st porsche was built in 1970 it had just 35 horsepower but thanks to weighing only 585 kilos it could reach 135 kilometers an hour. company. said that the last car ever to be built would be a car. the sports car was not merely a mode of transportation it's the imagination. engine of. this ultimate marriage of design and engineering promised a way of life. exclusive of independence the ideal get away from the daily grind. soon enough sports cars went from being on the vehicles to stars of both the big and small screen.

and on game consuls too. in the virtual world these cars deliver plenty of action. some new models now even get launched in video games. and if that what's your appetite how about one of the. actually a stinger. the b.m.w. 440 i grant oh my god the lexus l c 500. of course to really put cars like these through their paces you need a race track. or at least a test track like the one in live near berlin. our clients who attend our training courses cover all different vehicle groups motor by passenger cars i pads and trucks we cater to both private individuals and commercial clients and with. a quick look under the hood before we get going the

stinger has a twin turbo v. 6 engine that cranks out 269 kilowatts. is a subsidiary of south korean car giant hyundai. and the stinger is out to muscle in on the european sports car market. is german designed. to make sure it had what it takes. out on the test track the key issue is the benefits of its all wheel drive. it tops out of 270 kilometers per hour despite winging it almost 2 ton. in germany the stinger sells for a base price of around $56000.00 euros it speaks of price and performance as the nickname the.

there's nothing poor about the l. c. $500.00 which uses lex's styling in class inside and. lexus is the luxury brand of japanese carmaker toyota were eager to show that they are among the front runners not only among hybrid cars. are matched by the way it hugs the road. it's developers who are granted triple the usual time to toil and tinker away at the new model. the results is life in the fast lane a trip that will have your heart pounding and your pulse racing. $351.00 kilowatts catapult this mean machine to a top speed of 280 kilometers an hour. and awesome feel at the wheel but a price tag of $100000.00 euros and this baby burns a whopping 12 leaders

a gas for 100 kilometers. b.m.w. meanwhile harking back to the seventy's when the 3.0 c.s.l. dominated the european touring car circuit. and now the 440 i grant who pays channeling that history. unlike its predecessors on the race track it's not meant to tear up the record books when it comes with its fair share of luxury extras. and $62000.00 euros it's far cheaper than its lexus rival. its output is a relatively unimpressive $240.00 kilowatts but you'll hardly notice that when you take to the curves here it roar. the perfectly configured suspension is coupled with the legendary straight 6 inch. and as you're thrust back into

your seat after shifting down a gear you get that real sports car feeling. these are cars that unleashed powerful emotions for some they're objects of desire embodying that ultimate freedom of movement. for others they're unwelcome relics of an environmentally unfriendly past. but environmental responsibility and sports cars can also go hand in hand the new porsche tycho on is powered by 560 kilowatts and its all electric sportscar you can drive with a clean conscience. and

work. today we're going to have a look at this. isn't exactly a new car compact s.u.v. claimed the european car of the year trophy in 2018 and it's fresh looks made the swedish best seller a real crowd pleaser. it can also choose a contrast in the roof color to make your car really stand out. well what's new about the x e 40 it's off to be precise because of the. twin engine is the 1st plug in hybrid poetry and for this car according to the. around 2.5 liters per $100.00. you know meters which almost almost sounds too good to be

true. in. the plug in hybrid combines a $180.00 horsepower 3 cylinder gasoline engine with a 60 chalo want electric motor and front wheel drive hybrid drive trains always add weight to a car thanks to the 2 engines and the battery and at 1900 kilos the x e 40 is no exception. it's quite nice but you can feel the weight now the exit 40 has never been a review of speeding all the stuff you definitely penfield the polish will stop exhilarating but with around 7.3 seconds from 0 to 100 this hybrid combination with you when you raise. the speed was never the point of this

fall though what it's aiming for is fuel economy. the hybrid system pegs the different driving modes name to hybrids and power in pure you'll get all electric driving meaning because it's only he was in the electric engine it's good for 3 so after 125 page and the rain off if you know a bunch of white lies when you're both be driving the city. when the battery is anything you can plug it in then charge about or use the internal combustion engine to get the batteries some additional agents in the hybrid the system tries to combine both engines in the most effective way it's probably the mold you would drive the most in when you're outside the city you. are going to use most of the time and then there's the performance vault where both engines are running in parallel all the time to give you the maximum performance for when. ever you feel

the need for. the science the 3 driving modes the x e 40 offers a whole range of safety systems bungle has always been at the forefront of driver safety. engineer kneels bullen invented the 3 point seat belts for the car maker back in 1959 the german patent office named the belts one of the 8 inventions that most benefited humankind during 100 years and in 1905 with head side a neat airbags of all the x e 40 scored top marks in the euro and c.a.p crash test. emergency brake assist and active link keeping assist come standard. class cross traffic a loop warns you of vehicles approaching from the side and braking support automatically applies the brakes in order to avoid a collision. but there's one problem with all the safety systems and that's not the systems themselves as they work pretty much flawlessly

it's the way you control them because to activate or the activate the systems we have to do for through the and for payment stream there are menus on top of menus that open up even more menus and i don't know or maybe it's just personal preference then after a week or so of driving the car you will eventually master the system but personally i don't really like. ok so the user interface of the infotainment system might need an overhaul but what about fuel consumption. sleep any countryside probably isn't the best territory to achieve from some sums that are close to being 2.5 if you go for 100 kilometers over i'm not saying it's impossible to achieve those numbers but driving here for world. but they most of the time in the hybrid model we ended up

with something close to a 7 or 100 feet don't meet us i so what's the verdict at a hefty starting price of 49000 euros the x e 40 with its new plug in hybrid engine has both the advantages and disadvantages he might expect on longer trips this heavy s.u.v. tends to guzzle gas but for running errands around town or commuting to work the sleek looking volvo will get you there economically and safely. in our cities are failing us. have affects us all is this all future generations can look forward to i like to have a city where they don't need to worry about the machines and frankly what can we do to improve the way we move in our cities before but it's very smart join us on

a journey we're architects engineers and activists face up to the challenges of our future urban mobility. traffic chaos. on the top of the world wide every day. there are some 47000000 cars on germany's roads enough for 2 of the 3 adults to be driving at the same time. passed the highest level ever in berlin alone 87000 new cars were registered in 29000 despite growing traffic problems. like lots of public transport with ok bicycle. and we see all the cars next to the universe the boating people like the students basically have free public transport and they still come by car and i think that's not good. all over the world. traffic

pollution is choking us of the air we need to bring these. people around the world are demanding change. after more than 100 years is the cars dominance of our ever more crowded cities finally coming to an end the. environment is part of this currents and nobody has the freedom to live in the city in a more metro way and the future of the cities is the future of morbidity in a new way. the global design studio graphed is developing visions of our future urban mobility. 'd its founders last cook a bag and thomas villa mind are specialists in urban planning and sustainable architecture will be expect future generations to have far more choice in how they move around their cities. will be less child all of us. will probably walk quite. some distance because the neighborhoods will be

without too much traffic jump on a car maybe that leads then to a connection that probably will take their child into the air and landed right on the walk in place. of flying taxis could be a spectacular urban upgrade but probably not for the masses the biggest changes will affect cars especially our own private ones of which there are more than $1000000000.00 worldwide. there will be no baldry anymore between public transportation and individual traffic of the separation of both cities that we see today. but what could take the place of private cars and emissions free highly flexible public transport system. our earth.

mobility could depend on vehicles like the move or the tech underpinning the mover comes from a german company. it's meant to demonstrate how one platform can fulfill many needs . for us to move or could be used for the transport of people. for the transport of goods during daylight traffic transport of people and during the. whatever. in germany car sit unused for 23 hours a day on average each wasting about 12 square meters in parking space. that's as big as the typical german child's bedroom. in the u.s. cities like houston are struggling to overcome decades of urban planning that is given more space to cars than anything else. the more you have reduced the dimensions of the vehicle of course we achieve that by moving the drive units into the wheels themselves placing the technical components as far into the corners as

possible to make more interior space years a ball. and that frees up space on the road so. shrinking vehicle footprints are just one part of shufflers mobility vision. this award winning prototype can carry 4 people to their destination cleanly autonomous li and flexibly in. the city were aggressive and as we share mobility if it is public or private leaving the possibility for the soon to come back to the people meaning we need less parking spots. we basically need the cars or planes or the drones whatever to learn so we need new spaces. change transportation. in the near future digital now. working will drive our mobility. shufflers idea foresees people

using autonomous vehicles from the fleet working 247. these multi-functional emissions free vehicles to transport people and goods or provide services by sharing the vehicles people could free up huge areas of space previously dedicated to parking but are we really ready to have robots driving everywhere. and again schools are good it is the one major hurdle is legal vehicles like that are not really covered by the current legislation we'll have to make many adjustments to legal frameworks and the lack of legal security surrounding autonomous vehicles is putting the brakes on development is that. it's done too little confusing at the can we really afford to lose any more time. the generations of young people who will inherit our cities are already looking for quick and direct ways of improving our urban lives now and then we can do 2 things firstly politically. challenge all

politicians like you want to have a city where we want to live in where we don't just see cars and parking lots everywhere but where we can go everywhere and i'm not afraid better collett us secondly we can do it ourselves we can take the bicycle to work to you know boston to school with them by. the metro for the underground and we can take. the german city of outspokenness trying to get cars out of the city by offering free public transport in the central zone. since january 2020 people can also take out a mobility subscription that gives them unlimited access to the city's fleet of bikes and cars the package costs around 3 years 50 per day. it's one change among many that are needed. we need an overall traffic management as well as the infrastructure as. as a payment system

a ticket system and things like this of course future mobility has to be affordable it might pay for itself with ads like the internet does these days. just imagine that driving a mobility is actually clean and for free why because it's the 3rd place where you can work with driving as you know it's automatic you don't have to take care of that it's shared with other people it's connected so basically the people that run at the tysons in these to places while you're working they pay for the right so i think a city where we don't have costs. has much more space for our troops has space for the people and i think city without cars can have a lot more opportunities than a city with cars. a city without cars for many people that's hard to imagine. but things are beginning to move in that direction the question is what do we want to do with the space when the cars have gone.

we just got some traffic young. man then you see these could be i'm a texan deb i'm driving a car for the last 27 years. i have not been easy i've been driving very hard i have 4 children 3 boys and one girl asked my wife and it went better. tell me about this are suffering right now about i'll be able to come back for the long run i'm all i've. got you got to move me get out i'm trying to go to dr grabow and get back to. crossfire.
