ah, can i hold your hand? ah, it seems to be in love to call you can this become love? love us down god wilkin eye on me. i can artificial intelligence, combat loneliness. i love stories for the future. stuart to february 14th on d. w. is this a look ahead at the future world of trouble with sue's with

we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport will go for the electric with red. the auto and mobility show who is the driving license free opal rocks e the future gens e commuter. this one if made for 1516 year old teenager is the potentially carbon free hyper loop. the future of rapid inter city travel i think that will would be driving a hyper moving yet and is worry free battery swapping and autonomy tax going to make neo the e. b joker. not of the future i conveyed is called one of the best cause i have a drove in my life. and if not even the many urban run about

pi tech, e, v 's and mobility revolutions of the future. now on rev ah, this fully electric vehicle can be driven by youngsters without the car license. this one is made for 1516 year old teenager oval faith. this one is not a car. it's some sustainable urban mobility. and with that, welcome to laura penny, the headlight, and the panoramic roof. come this founded in this su am i can tell this car has a rather roundish and sweet design. and you can not in some detail. is this the front or the rear? yes, you can tell there is no license plate, but at the rear there is

a license plate. this one is a german one. you will usually find that on scooters or faster. e bikes, which is for vehicles that do not drive faster than 45 kilometers. now, and that does also apply to the rocks, you can drive it from the age of 15 with the according driver's license, of course. and how cool is that? there is no more need to be on your scooter in the winter, and it's all cold or it's raining. you would just get into that small car. you have a roof, you will just get to where you want to go. pretty neat. as you can tell, the car is rather compact to meter 41 in lane. and if you have seen, it looks just the same from the front and from the bag. why is that? it is built symmetrically. what is the advantage of that? you can build 2 parts which are just the same and then you put one in the front, one in the rear, that cost way less than if you would build $2.00 different parts. that also goes

for the doors. what does that mean? if you open that one, it will open just like your regular car door. and this one opens the other way around. ah, these is all you will get as a window. of course it is because the car needs to be cheap and that's why we're built. when those like these furthermore, you don't have very much here in the interior. as you can tell, there is a steering wheel, but no buttons whatsoever, because there is no infotainment system. there is just holder for your smartphone. and here a us be flawed, so you can charge it while you're driving and then there's this button here, but it's only for ventilation. there is no air conditioning in this vehicle because it will obviously even lower the rate. you can get optional because in the interior to play music from your smartphone, the oval rocks,

edith neither half drunk, nor a frank. so whatever you want to transfer, you get to do it in the interior. for example, right here, there is a space for a little trolley, just like you know that from the airplane. and if you're on your way alone, you have enough space to put whatever you got in your shopping spree right here. and you also have a little bit of space in the door and right here at the top, these can also be taken out so you can clean or replace them. ah, if you can tell the thieves, do look rather simple as well. the padding is not that big, so it is okay, but you wouldn't not want to sit on those for several 100 kilometers, but that's no problem. since the car can only go 75 kilometers according to w l t p. that's okay. ah,

to put it's to driving, you simply turn around the key, and then right next to the seat, you have the d and r, and that's it. put it to d. and let's go. the roxy is available in 3 different versions that mainly differ by there looks in germany. it can be purchased starting at $7990.00. i mean you can hear it. it is pretty loud in here. this car, it almost no installation. it is just made to get from a to b without getting wet and that is pretty good news. this one is made for 1516 year old teenager that get there for the own. busy busy vehicle they will be on their way and they will visit their friends, go to the cinema through the mall. and for that it is definitely pretty neat

from the brand's also have a similar vehicle under the name of me the opal roxy. is it counterpart for the german market? talking about the driving as such, the car will go to a maximum speed of 45 kilometers an hour. at 1st glance i would have said $45.00. it lacks 5 more kilometers an hour to go 50. if they would make the car 5 kilometers an hour faster, they would lose the possibility to drive it with that special license. so meaning from 15 years on and then it would just be like a regular car. and you would need to be at least 17 or 18 to drive it. so as i mentioned, there is the ventilation right here. and you can of course keep the wind screen. but if you press this button, it does only know 2 functions on oral one important

question, of course, how do you charge the car open decided to put the cable right here behind the passenger door is simply pull it out. it's connected to the car, 3 meters of cable, and then you can put it in your regular household socket. there is across an adapter for charging stations, but most of the time you will charge it at home or at your friends home. and that way this is a good thing. you definitely won't be able to forget your challenging cable event. my final verdict on the new opal rocks. it is a very sweet and small vehicle. it will get you from a to b without getting wet and that's it's main point. what i think is that this car is good for suburbs all the countryside where you won't have good public transportation. so the boss is coming every 3 hours and the train once a day and there you can go to the next city, visit your friend,

or gets to the supermarket that is 5 kilometers away. and to sum up, he gets a compact spot in vehicle for little money that offers more safety than escalator, especially suitable for rural areas where public transport doesn't run often. however, it lacks air conditioning and an air bag. so 15 year olds should participate before writing the rock. see on there with why is this will look ahead at the future world of trouble if so, the 1st test run of a high to loop with passengers on board ended up being something of a successful sneak preview. ultimately the pods are set to raced down. the chiefs at speeds of up to 1200 kilometers an hour. it's in that we will be driving

a hyperlink. yes. it will drastically with use journey times in the united states. the trip from cleveland to chicago would take to 28 minutes, 3 times quicker than current in line options. but how safe is it you can do a sub with for non promote site, it's easy. many questions still remain if the hyperlink going nowhere fast, or is it an outright revolution? this man came up with the idea in 2013. this man has also brought a lot of money on board. but for once, this fellow billionaire isn't yet involved. california, by his time to do t, t is among the company's looking to protect the concept it as a staff of 800 world wide and 28000000 euros in seed funding. but with a new technology 1st needing approval, the firm has been working with the german inspection agency. we had this broken over racial technologies,

some things in before remember nation. so we were working very bit hard or so we're the 1st company developing we to shoot a complete but we'll have to defend war the end of the day. we'll have a record at a time where we cannot, which people like or even multiple constructing hyperactive tubes as inexpensive undertaking. one kilometer would cost about $53000000.00 euros. the plant roots in india from pruning to mom, buy is underground, making it even more costly. but reducing the risk of terror attacks building that route would cause 7000000 euros. some scare off invest in we demonstrated, i believe, could be bribing the finance and you know, could have be back video. so how long 25 here. so she doesn't rely, it will be 60, these one touch base and one and the numbers were based on the 5. the ticket was like 75 percent of the cost of the upload tickets. you know,

for the same groups in all the, most of the transport, facial traveling by hype and it has a lot in common with the journey into space after notes, surrounded by vacuum. the near vacuum conditions and the hyperlink tube says to reduce air friction and drug making super high speeds possible. but if the put developed to leak, the passengers would be dead within seconds. none of the high blue projects have found a solution for that yet, including the german one based in munich. because in that event, the pod would have to break very swiftly. my passengers would get oxygen masks as in an aircraft. they're all possibilities we can consider for certain areas actually because of his to cost intensive, it won't make sense financially. and it can't be made a success if i have huge safety problems. or if i have to install very, very expensive systems to solve them. so we'll have to do remain just to

dream. the logistics in the 3 hope not process of freight is definitely easier than passengers because the safety requirements are low with no people on board. the part of handle is working with high pollute t t on new concepts will speeding up contain a transportation i could i could hyperlink is not suitable for short distances for middle or long distances. you know that's that's what we're considering is an in landry. crossing more than 300 kilometers, connecting to really big hubs, a root carrying very large quantities of containers over dependably long periods. oh, sure likely would make sense in that context. and then the, the next step is to build proper longer history, including bangs, which are challenged due to the fees involved. the hybrid group would then be able

to prove it feasibility for long and will travel and keep up the pace. the hype, ah, if you want more ref, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world rep can make you very happy. vintage classics and future check or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us said you tube slash dw rev, and you'll always be up to speed an e. com that is throwing down the gauntlet to the likes of tesla. and portia, on a quest to conquer the world, the neo e t 7 is a sport sedan of this accredited variety. it comes with

a 1000 kilometer range from one single charge. regardless of the weather. it's also accompanied by world 1st batteries flopping system, packed with $648.00 horse power. it makes the dash to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.9 seconds. me as visionary. c. e. o has grand plans for the 87. it's a 2nd living room with cutting edge technology. and a big factor in those plans is a combination of digital tech, artificial intelligence, and a committed community toys you, i'd like the futuristic aspect and the design a whole lot. i tried and it's a leading global brand and electric vehicles. and it was with a global reach in mind that william lea unveiled his latest model in chang do in early 2021. the 87. isn't she a beauty?

in that this car is the purest example, yet futuristic design. like tesla do is targeting young tech savvy urbanites and its building an entire community around its brand. over and over, we are new drivers were part of the neo family acting even a year. so of course it's made in china, it's chinese people who are building neo cars. we'd either choose, wow, neo day is an annual extravaganza. open to old car owners and the company's phase no expense recruiting from china's biggest celebrities will be events like rock singer one finn but the real star of the show is another man, founder and c o. william lee, idaho. hello everyone. she knew faith and courage are what dr. us welcome. i am

william lee, l e. d. o. lead founded neo in 2014. when he was already a self made millionaire, he made his fortune from various internet startups, including a website for trading, used cars. the key to his success was being more innovative and was to developments than the competition neo stock sought over the course of 2020. as to that of tesla . the story of william d as similar to that of eden musk, the founder of his american rival, more so than established comic his neo invested in a sense of community among its customers. while relatively new in china, it has proven a hit. drivers have set up their own clubs like this one in we show. well, i go to therapy compared to tesla. mia was a brand that really understands chinese people lapse. they miss organized outings

and charity events and communicate regularly with the company. mia has an active commitment to its use it as customers are called a lot of owners install an app on their phone that keeps them in constant contact with neo. and in many cases, queries are answered by the c e o himself. china is home to the world's biggest market for electric cars and one boosted by government subsidies. i'm in the hot your julie cuz i chose it because it's more enjoyable to drive because i'm how you can use or i up we'll, you don't have to worry about anything. it's under the machine. built in neo software enables uses to link up with popular apps like we chat and the digital assistant know me hang on me back. i opened the driver's window. all this is intended to appeal primarily to the young online generation. always

sounds in newer, so it's hung out and we believe that our model will be in demand in any country with the creative and beat lifestyle family. go courtyard doyle down and you go some me live functional, changed it is the german engineer. now based in china, he's the chief of technology at then on automation ensued. show and was one of me, us 1st customers for 2 years now. he's been driving and e s 8 trainers 1st premium electric as you the the what i really love for this call if the. ready power, 650 picos power is actually a lot neo was one of the 1st companies to make racing cars for, for me ladies. in 2018. it moved on to designing su these for the chinese

market. targeting well of families with prices ranging between 457-0000 euros e t 7 is aimed at is 40 a clientele. it was 650 horsepower and a solid state battery with 150 kilowatt alice, in the biggest version neo promises a range of 1000 kilometers or mall, which is course quite as stern the automotive industry. after will, that's a fit and no other electric car has ever managed and would, since it's a lot of them and they, our main competitors for now are traditional combustion engine, cars in the same price bracket field. if we compare ourselves to them, i don't see any disadvantages, whether it's the performance, the integration of intelligence systems, interior design, the digital experience autonomous driving features, alumni 8 or our service quality. it's, i think we're very competitive on all fronts. to make up,

i mean i down those who had brought it to me also the new e t 7 is not yet available for testing. but functional instead treats us to a sneak preview and his 2 year old. yes. it already has some of the same autonomous driving features like lane keep. it says technology that enjoys stay subsidies. does the infrastructure use it always and for sure. overrule if necessary. but i know what is possible, whatnot. so i can already see you and it's a little bit tricky avenue lane. actually know we changed the expressway so you're not doing anything. no, everything free. i have. whether my feet under pedo, my hands on that you're in the know it will be a little tricky. but

for the next comment, his range remains to the biggest challenge. and this is where the chinese company has found a need to enabling customers to empty batteries. for one moment to see we have 2 cars in front and one is in so we have to wait a little bit. can take the apple. so 1234, i'm not before currency. the company has a little more than $200.00 spot stations around china. most of them in big cities or alongside highway with an eye on people making long distance trip. for short journeys pals can be reached, charged a charging station. the battery swell takes less than 10 minutes. it's fully automated with the empty unit being removed and replaced with a new one. in a procedure that no supercharger, no matter how fast can compete with neo also of his batteries on

a rental basis, which allows customers to avoid the financial risk of a battery defect. oh plane, yes, we are to so goes fund by we have a number of algorithms to analyze the batteries. hell. if a battery is not in good condition, it's withdrawn from the cycle. that's an advantage of our swap system. we'll, we can guarantee our customers that they will always have a healthy battery in their car goal. so you don't say gen confidence but longer trips within china still need to be carefully planned and broken down into status, so as not to exceed the given range swap stations in rural areas i'll few and far between. in january functional instead embarked on an adventurous 11 day trick from his current residence in the east in china to the tibetan plateau in the west of the country, covering over 6000 kilometers. ah, is this extra need is st already been 4300 made

a height and one morning we have some snow and ice on the road when it's a beautiful and up here to the neo did just fine flinched. i had discussed his plans beforehand with the company and wherever he needed to charge up, they had a team to help out something that really impressed the german antonia. a level of service in line with me is ambitious goal to become the company with the highest customer satisfaction worldwide. in the automotive industry, ask even in denied to us the people, they always have. some people from service, they can give you some support. but as faithful as many fans, all the company wants to see a lot more of them with the neo community is getting bigger and bigger. last year we added $43728.00 new car owners in total we've already exceeded

$75000.00. that said the numbers and yes, that impressive for a market that sells more than $20000000.00 calls a year even looking at the $1300000.00 new electric cars sold in china annually. mia is a minor player. sluggish sales almost lead the company to bankruptcy prevented only by government bailout women jamila, you got, we were facing the most complicated situation that a startup can face. and we're grateful to our users for standing with us and difficult time to function. there have also been technical setbacks. one time in year was stuck in the middle of the road in downtown beijing, due to an untimely system updates a p r. disaster changed. it also starts a few other minor floors such as the air conditioning controls. but overall, he's very much a satisfied neo usa. this call has all properties to be

successful in germany. i'm a german engineer. i can say this call proof to yes. this is one of the best cause i ever drove in my life. you know, to even the best asia europe and then the world william the has high hopes for the neo e t 7, a 1000 kilometer range together with a solid state battery, a winning combination, but no other electric car currency, much more future mobility. next time on reb ah, with ah,
