you. lovely. people have to say. to us. that trying. to use reporter every weekend on d w. i i. we are living during the most extraordinary time for st. francis ford coppola for the electric cars. made about the. rev the auto and mobility show. 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 cars in parking lots everywhere. so what might the city traffic of the future look like. just imagine the drive the ability to escape to clean and for free i but where should we go if we still think driving cars is a lot of fun. our customers cover all different vehicle groups. and could you master the safety systems on volvo's award winning hybrid x e 40. or the activate the systems there are many of your men your. mom in 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 naughty but nice was the ford mustang is the world's best selling sports to pay the quintessential pony car since its launch in 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 sports car. the sports car was not merely a mode of transportation it's the imagination. engine company. 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 on the vehicle 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. my or 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 link to. our clients who attend our training courses cover all different vehicle groups motorbikes passenger cars i 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 stingers out to muscle in on the european sports car market. is german designed. sure it had what it takes. out on the test track nicaea shows the benefits of its all wheel drive. it tops out at 270 kilometers per hour despite winging it almost to the touch. in germany the stinger sells for a base price of around $56000.00 euros its mix of price and performance has earned the nickname.

there's nothing poor about the l. c. $500.00 which uses lex's styling in class inside and. lexus is a luxury brand of japanese carmaker toyota who are eager to show that they're among the front runners not only among hybrid cars. are matched by the way it hugs the road. it's developers will grant to 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 of 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 channeling 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 $240.00 kilowatts but you'll hardly notice that when you take to the curves and hear 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 sports car you can drive with a clean conscience. today

we're going to have a look at this. isn't exactly a new car this compact and c.v. claimed the european car of the year trophy in 2018 and its fresh looks made the swedish best seller a real crowd pleaser. you can also choose a contrast in the roof color to make your car really stand out. well what's new about the it's the end or to be precise because. the 5 twin engine is the 1st plug in hybrid power train for this car according to. around 2 to 2.5 meters per $100.00. you know meet those. almost sounds too good to be true

. the plug in hybrid combines a $180.00 horsepower 3 cylinder gasoline engine with a 60 challenge 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. is but you can feel the weight now all the extra 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. with the combination with you when you raise. that speed was never the point of this

fall 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 the car is on the he was in be electric engine it's good post to fill up 125 mph and the rain off the number which is quite nice when you'll both be driving in the city. when the batteries anything you can plug it in then charge it up or use the internal combustion engine to give the battery some additional juice 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 30 year old we 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 speed. besides the

3 driving modes the x e 40 offers a whole range of safety systems. overall has always been at the forefront of driver safety. engineer kneels borland invented the 3 point seat belts for the car maker back in 1959 the german patent office named the belt one of the 8 inventions that most benefited humankind during 100 years ending in 1905 with head side in neat air bags devolve x.e. 40 scored top marks in the euro n.c.a.a. p. crash test. emergency brake assist and active lane keeping assist come standard. class cross traffic alert 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 were pretty much flawlessly

it's the way you control them because to activate or the activate the systems we have to do so through the and for payment stream they are menus on top of menu with even more menus and i don't know maybe it's just personal preference and 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. sleeping in the countryside probably isn't the best territory to achieve some sums that are close to having $2.00 new cars per 100 kilometers. i'm not saying that it's impossible to achieve those numbers but driving here well. but they most of the time in the hybrid model we end up with

something close to a 7 or 100 meters i so what's the verdict at a hefty starting price of $49000.00 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 the gas but for running errands around town or commuting to work the sleek looking falvo will get you there economically and safely. in. our cities are failing us. has affected us all is this all future generations can look forward to oh i have a city where i don't need to worry about the machines and i hate what we do to improve the way we move in our cities but it's very smart to join us on

a journey what architects engineers and activists face up to the challenges of our future urban mobility. traffic chaos some tough stuff. worldwide 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 those cars next to the universe to boating people like the students have free public transport and they still come by car and i think that's not. all over the world. traffic

pollution is choking use 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. or brought in while money as fuck your part with cars 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 mobility in a new way. the global design studio graphed is developing visions of our future urban mobility. its founders last cricket bag and thomas villa mind are specialists in urban planning and sustainable architecture they expect future generations to have far more choice in how they move around their cities. that 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 what employers. are 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 no baldry anymore between public transportation and individual traffic of the separation of both 2 of the cities that we see today or. what could take the place of private cars and emissions free highly flexible public transport system. hour early. 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 the transport of people and during the my transport of goods whatever. 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 child's bedroom. 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. 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. this city were aggressive as we share mobility 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 the planes or the drones whatever too long so we need new spaces. 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 at least 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's going on it's done too little to because of. 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 we can do 2 things firstly

politically challenge all politicians live you want to have a city where we want to live and where we don't just see parking lots everywhere where we can go everywhere and i'm not afraid that a collar hit us secondly we can do it ourself we can take the bicycle to work to you know boston to school with them by. the metro for the on the ground and we can take a partner consol. 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 a. 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 travel mobility is actually clean and full free why because it's a search place where you can work and 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 treats. space for other people and i think city without cars can have a lot more opportunities and honestly with calls. 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. my name is this 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. i have 4 children 3 boys and one girl past my waist and it was better. tell me about this are suffering right now about what you could not be done you good to move me from trying to go drive grab all. the mofo.
