traffic. some people are dreaming of a life with less traffic we want to have a city where we don't just parking lots of us. so what might the city traffic of the future look like. just imagine the drive the ability to scratch you clean and for free i but where should we go if we still think driving cars is a lot of fun i. i. cover all different vehicle groups. and could you master the safety systems on award winning hybrid x e 40. to activate. the systems there are many many. people involved and 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 segments of the global card history. sports cars are all about pace passion and the sheer uncompromising thrill of driving nobody but. god. the ford mustang is the world's best selling sports who paid the quintessential pony car since launching 1964. 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. in the sports car was not merely a mode of transportation it's the imagination. engine company of. this ultimate marriage of design and engineering promised a way of life. exclusivity independence the ideal get away from the daily grind. of sports cars went from being only 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 these. actually a stinger. the b.m.w. 440 i grant you pay my car 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 lead to. our clients who attend our training courses cover all different vehicle groups motorbikes passenger cars pads and trucks we cater to both private individuals and commercial clients 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 design boss made sure it had what it takes. out on the test track the key is shows the benefits of its all wheel drive. it tops out at 270 kilometers per hour despite way needed almost to touch. in germany the stinger sells for a base price of around $56000.00 euros its mix of price and performance has earned it the nickname.

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 toyotas were eager to show that they were among the front runners not only among hybrid cars. are matched by the way it hugs the road. its developers were granted triple the usual time to take her away at the new model lab. 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 per 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 channelling that history. unlike its predecessors on the race track it's not meant to tear up the record books but it comes with its fair share of luxury extras. and at $62000.00 euros it's far cheaper than its lexus rival. its output is a relatively unimpressive 240 kilowatts but you hardly notice that when you take to the curves here it roar. the perfectly configured suspension is coupled with b.m.w.'s legendary straight 6 engine. 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 tiger on is powered by 560 kilowatts and its all electric sports car you can drive with a clean conscience. hello

and welcome to austria today we're going to have a look at this at. 40 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 its or to be precise because of the. 5000 and is the 1st hybrid poet trained for this car according to w l t p. $2.00 to $2.00 per $100.00. which almost

almost sounds too good to be true. the plug in hybrid combines a $180.00 horsepower 3 cylinder gasoline engine with a 60 challenge 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. if price quite right but you can feel the weight now the extra 40 has never been a review of speeding all the stuff you definitely penfield to publish will stop the celebrating but with around 7.3 you say comes from 0 to 100 this combination when you when you races. but speed was never the point of this

what it's aiming for is fuel economy. the hybrid system pegs. driving modes name to hybrids and power in pure you'll get all electric driving meaning the car is on the he was in be electric engine it's good post because of the $125.00 came of age and the range of the number which is quite nice when you'll both be driving in the city after that when the battery is emptied you can plug it in then charge it out or use the internal combustion engine to give the battery some additional juice in the system for us 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 30 year old we're going to do with most of the time and then there's the performance malt where both engines are running in parallel all the time to give you the maximum performance for whenever. so you feel the need for. the

science the 3 driving modes the x c 40 offers a whole range of safety systems fungal has always been at the forefront of driver safety. engineer kneels evolve borland invented the 3 point seatbelts 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 a new 985. with head side a neat airbags the volatile 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 these 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 you have to do for through the and for payment stream they are menus on top of menus that open up even more menus and i don't know 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. please be in the countryside probably isn't the best territory to achieve from some things that are close to be 2.5 meters or 100 kilometers over i'm not saying that it's impossible to achieve those numbers by driving. most of the time in the hybrid

vault we ended up with something close to. 100 feet of meters i so what's the verdict at a hefty starting price of $49000.00 euros the x e $48.00 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 the gas but for running errands around town or commuting to work the sleek looking volvo will get you there economically and safely. our cities are failing us. could affect us all is this all future generations can look forward to i like to have a city where i don't need to worry about emissions and my health what do we do to improve the way we move in our cities but it's very smart to join us on

a journey where 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. that's the highest level ever in berlin alone 87000 new cars were registered in 2019 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 urban.

traffic pollution is choking use of the air we need to bring. people around the world are demanding change. now after more than 100 years is the cars dominance of our ever more crowded cities finally coming to an end to the brand of vitamin c. occupied the cars and nobody has the freedom to live in the city in a more natural way and that 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. its founders last quick american thomasville my are specialists in urban planning and sustainable architecture they expect future generations to have far more choice in how they move around their cities or child of of us. will probably walk quite some. 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 working place. 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 worldwide. there will be in the whole baldry any more between public transportation and individual traffic the separation of both halves a lot of cities that we see trigger. what could take the place of private cars and emissions free highly flexible public transport system. our urban. ability 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 . to move or could be used for the transport of people. for. traffic. in germany carsick 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. in the u.s. cities like houston are struggling to overcome decades of urban planning that has 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 ago. and that frees up space on the road so those costs. 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 inflexibly. the city will aggressively change as we share the ability if it is public or private leaving the possibility for the city to come back to the people meaning we need less parking spots. we basically need the cars or airplanes or the drones whatever it is too long so we need new spaces new spaces where we change transportation. in the near future digital networking

will drive our mobility. shufflers idea for people using autonomous vehicles from the fleet working 24 seventh's. 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 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 that. is done to you because again can we really afford to lose any more time. for generations of young people who will inherit our cities are already looking for quick and direct ways of improving our urban lives now we can do 2 things firstly

politically we can challenge all politicians like we want to have a city where we want to live and where we don't. parking lots everywhere but where we can go everywhere and i'm not afraid but a collar hit us secondly we tend to have ourselves we can take the bicycle to our university to school with them by possehl all the metro for the underground and we can take part in a concert of. 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 well 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 on mobility is actually clean and for free why because it's a search 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 advertisements in these to places while you're working they pay for the right so i think a city where we don't have cost. has much more space for our troops has space for the people and i think city without cars can have a lot more opportunities one of the with cos. 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've got discourse on that topic. my name is peace you could be i'm a texan. for the past 27 years. i've not been easy. i have 4 children 3 boys and. my wife and you. know that. you've got to move from trying to go to both good.
