ah currenty, more people than ever on the move worldwide in search of a better life. one of us answer which as a committee god, the hell are goes out. actually. the now is it america unknown to god bagley also condense, duplicator still nanda bernice. him on back to the gun. find out about rubinez story. in some migraines, reliable news for migraines. wherever they may be. london's iconic black camps get an electric transformation. buses and grown up a ball to go driver free and trans, racing driver, charlie martin on how embracing her authentic self helped her excel right now. bon read

the black can london's unofficial mascot now drives through the city electrically with her. but the old tubs were the noise. you know that they usually mean that discomfort you cramp up the dishes, so she moved. obviously the wire is poking it, got 0. make sure i still managed to retain the the icon. it look about it. this is probably one of the most recognized vehicles in the world. exactly like the black runabouts that dotted the london city scape for over a century. ah,

the best of the old traditions. but merit with new technology holds a special place in that in the hearts of for many people. peter powell has driven a cab in london for 27 years and he loves his job. is quite unique clearly because you're in charge of his show for the saw him. you you got the freedom to go out to work to shoot your life. stop driving through london and one of those iconic black tabs is special. even today we retain the tradition of the band, the black cap. we've always been voted the, the best taxi service in the world. the tradition as we come only to. busy throughout the taxes are like, as you know, i come, but y'all,

rich found boxes in the boxes. despite his love of tradition, peter is happy that he's swapped his diesel cat for an electric one. as smooth is and i comfortable it is a it takes a lot of stress out of your day that this is so smooth region. bry kinda makes it loveliest, mover everything. the whole world experience. you fantastic. henley, b c. the company that now builds the electric cabs in a new factory near coventry has shaped the london taxi trade since 19 o 8. using the technical underpinnings of an austin. they developed the boxy body variance of the theme to london cats. the f explore introduced in 1958 was the company's most popular model and one, all its successors had been based but the 2080 mission regulations for central

london sounded the death knell for the cult diesel powered taxi. but eli b. c reacted fast with a completely new evie production line, supported by chinese car maker dealing project manager lloyd bonds and ended steam developed in electric london taxi. bringing the venerable british icon into the future. we continue to invest in the taxi product to make it the best taxi in the world and the world's only purposely design taxi. it's not a vehicle that's converted from a van or from a cow or from a mini boss. it's the only vehicle in the world that is designed with a clean sheet of paper to meets the requirements of being a taxi, the london conditions of fitness, all some of the most stringent taxi regulations in the world. and the new

electric model, the t x traces, it's dna back to the effects from 1958. we've kept the look the same, so things like the proportions around the headlights, the grill. keeping that very, that very traditional look. and we've kept that on the new t x, the round, circular, headlights, that quite up front stately grill, the proportions along the side of the vehicle. the the long bonnets. we have plants swooping roofline at the back of the vehicle. and then inside. we've kept the concept of the interior much the same in london, keeping the well being of passengers in mind. if mandatory london's requirements are very strict into sims, all the vehicle length, the vehicle whits,

but there's also requirements for it to be wheelchair accessible. london was one of the 1st cities in the world to make will chair accessibility mandatory on taxes in, in 1989. so we have to be able to fit a wheelchair. there has to be a ramp for the wheel chair. there's a step. these regulations are very, very restrictive. great importance is also attached to comfort this requirement for the minimum distance between the seats. so that this space for people to sit facing each other. and there has to be a sufficient head room, the folklore, is that that was put in place because of people with, with top hat, some bowler hats to be able to get in. and a car that transports passengers in the british capital also has to be right up there in terms of technology. lessons, requirements are very strict,

the turning circle. so how far we can, we can turn around in the road, how quickly we can do that. the turning circle is 8.8 meters turning circle, and that's because of the turning points at the savoy hotel. savoy hotel has a very, very tight entry and in terms of local, we come in on the right hand side as opposed to the left is the only drought in k where you're supposed to do. i'm gonna run shorter. this is a yeah, this is i deal with the taxi is ideal for this was about 24 with tony circle and a concierge here. we'll probably wanna let you out. the latest regulation that affects the taxi trade in london. only cars with emission free power trains can now be registered for passenger transport, which has had

a huge influence on the black caps. where we see the biggest changes are underneath the bonnet. and if we look on the old vehicle, we see there are 4 cylinder. these elaine gym very much a very much of its time in the, in the late eighty's. ah, but quite noisy, quite rapidly. i'm not a very good customer experience compared to what we have now in the new t x. where under the bonnet is everything to generate electricity? a small fuel based range extender can charge the battery if necessary. the 110 kilowatt electric motor is built directly into the rear axle. in order to keep the tall vehicle center of gravity as low as possible, the batteries are tucked away in the floor panels and the entire body is made of aluminum. the individual components are not riveted or welded,

but rather glued together in a complex process. it's a bonded alum indian chassis, which originally comes from the aircraft industry. so plains like the air boss, a 320 a built this way. on top of that, we put composite panels. i'm and to get the, the, the expertise in that type of a body design. and we ended up with the engineers who, with experience in formula one, another motor sports to come in and help design an engineer the product. and the engineers also managed to build a huge glass roof into the aluminum body. this allows passengers to get to know the city even better. a london cappy often doubles as a tour guide the the amory arch value. where the admiral, which a huge debate track i saw the building and i left her

a huge hotel but i loved the golf. absolutely love it. you go to what play is to see. so the chocolate hiking pitches all the time. subs on deer thought i can i am and i'm a little oak until they're fed up. i'll guy randal died they are currently 6500 t x models from l e v. c on the road in london. and almost half of all london cats are now electric. the battery capacity is enough for a 130 kilometers or the equivalent of 8 hours of stop and go traffic. loading the battery to 80 percent at a fast charger takes half an hour. but being forced to take those breaks doesn't bother peter powell at all. when cleaning the cab. yeah, i so i deal with, given even what though, i'm read very,

very happy for the die. i 1st shot in driving say of one of the the very 1st di owner. i was going to bar one of i quite a few checks. he's are 27 years in his job even don't. is she her very upset? i vehicle it's iconic. retire neil, iconic. look like we need to keep that like when i go to the electric london tab, a great example of how british tradition lives, allan and motors, the mission free, and innovatively into the future. ah, ah, ah, it's 9 am in corona. oh, and christina anderson is ready to get her unusual bus on the road.

rhythm organs. i'm every morning we have to do one really without any passengers to see if the technology works. and if, if there is a construction site somewhere or something unusual on the route where we have to say, ok today, we can't do this event or you have to be careful here level. so don dog broke off this autonomy bus does a lot on its own driving breaking, accelerating it precisely follows a virtual blue line. each round trip is 3 kilometers through kona locals, tourists. everyone's getting on board in a city. bus service is also available, but it only stops at the main tourist location, arose and back fortress 4 times a day. the steep climb can be tough for some people. enter the autonomous shuttle

which runs all day and is a welcome compliment to public transport. just like in the town of pope where a shuttle runs from the train station to the city center straight through the pedestrian zone. in rehab a tiny bus shuttles back and forth between a production sites factory and offices on a freeway feeder road with heavy traffic operators are still on board for now, but that's supposed to change some day. it can only happen if the buses are absolutely safe. a 3 d laser burst scanned the entire route, roads, walls, and buildings were recorded as a cloud of points, a digital image of the vehicles environment down to the centimeter. the best route was then calculated. this is the blue line stored in the buses. memory lasers on the roof,

scanned the surroundings for up to 100 meters. as it moves, the laser beams are reflected, allowing the boss to calculate its current position. software checks the position against the stored route to any deviation is immediately corrected. i am. the boss remains precisely on the blue line. something in the way the bus comes to a halt. yes, the leon ya thea. oh, here's the line where it would automatically pull into the stop on its own. it is out. this is where the car is. so it would collide on dia, it stops and wait for the obstacle to move is hinden, especially in that. i can use the controller to steer the shuttle around and then

into the bus stop on the down low, handy. i wish to la fontose. but how safe is the bus if an obstacle suddenly gets in its way to laser beams, scanned the surroundings 50 times. the 2nd time they recognize things that are to close? the bus reacts immediately no moment of shock. thanks to the sensors. m. you have slept fur is responsible for the development of the safety equipment. he thinks autonomy shuttles will become a reality within the next 5 years. he has high hopes, align dodge, and we have around $3000.00 traffic deaths in germany every year. in 90 percent of the result of human error technology has the potential to eliminate most of that 90 percent higher than 90 percent sorted with the sensors are being constantly

improved. the goal is that some day an operator can monitor and guide the shuttles remotely. if this plan gets approved, the buses will then be entirely autonomous. oh boy, i figured out how it's gonna take my life. i'd say myself in a barrett, i just realized i don't even have any connection with the present. stand back any more or support a living shall not living here. growing up, there were 3 things that charlie martin was convinced of the 1st that she was trans and didn't identify as meal the gender. she'd been assigned in both. the 2nd, the place she felt most at home was the race track. the time that she'd never be able to reconcile these to world. i am

charlie martin, i'm a professional racing driver. i'm in l g b t, t plus activist. i'm hoping to be the 1st trans driver at the 24 hours of lamar. i grew up feeling very limited because knowing that i was transgender from a young age, i never had new role models growing up. i'd never seen anyone like me doing anything. the i spied thing and that had the effect of making me feel very limited in terms of my life options. carolyn kazi, was the 1st person that i discovered he was transgender. and i up until that point i didn't realize people could be born as one gender feel that they are i identifies as different gender and then they can actually physically transition and, and so on. so on. so when i saw her, it was like some one telling me world isn't flat, you know, i kind of really

a real eureka moment in my life. when i was about 89 years old, i had a friend called hamish and his dad used to race, not professionally, but i'm, you know, very competitively at club level. and he said, yeah, you know, we're going racing if you'd come, i'd never actually been to racetrack and especially being in the paddock with all the cause being surrounded by, by of these causes very here. it's a very kind of intoxicating smell. being in the environment, you know, the caster lauren and just the noise and do some thing about it that just yeah, just let a real spark of enthusiasm in me. i said year less diverse c. i made up my mind. this is it. i'm going to 20 some,

some racing myself as opposed to a 5. was like a half finished project at ro cage had a 16 bow van jane. but that was, it was light at 4 wheels at night. doors on a, it was a like with everything was stripped out of it, but it was something i could afford. a 1st thing i did out, she was a sprint a cobra bit. nonetheless, i was there. i was can be saying, dang my to sports on my own stay. and that was a great feeling, ah, coming in stop period. that's when i started to struggle. very struggle with my my gender identity and i wake up in the morning and see myself in the mirror and i, it's realize, yeah, i don't, i don't even have any connection with the person staring back at me anymore. at nothing in my life really matter to me any more because it's dislike. well, what's the point living?

you're not living with you. i figured out how it's gonna take my life and i couldn't. i, you know, i was at a point where i just couldn't even function. you know, i could barely get through the day. i was slept breaking down. um and i thought myself, this is this wrong, i can't do this. and that was january 2012 that i, i decided, okay, this is it, i'm going to transition a se transition was the thing that i wanted most in my life. and yet at the same time it was the scariest thing could imagine. it was this, you know, it was like this huge mountain. the i was terrified of confronting, and i think it might sport and i just thought no one's going. sat me in that space

. charlie's family and friends convinced her not to give up andrea thing. 9 months into her medical transition, which involved hormone did placement therapy and surgery, she returned to a race track for the 1st time. wilson's class was like scary thing, i can imagine. i had sat in my car, remember, sat my car in the car park to thinking will i'd have to do it like to go home. the old f. a nice fortunately. 7 or 8 of my close friends i raced with came over. so many name can be because, you know, there were like, equally about racing next year where you could see the love i felt my gesture was a really profound thing. it made a massive impact. in fact, if they hadn't done that, i would have gone back the next year, 2 years into her transition, charlie began attacking her motorsport gold. with jan you would vigor in a new found confidence. things began looking up in her career. i pans for probably

the hardest part of that experience and i started to find confidence and self belief that i'd never 9 and my whole life. and i think that had a huge impact not just on racing, but on so many levels on just how you think in function. it's like having compute said, it's freely old and slow. when you install a new operating system, when you boot up and it's like from, let's go good. you want to do, what do you have? does what it felt like to me. i went to fonts, i did it around the french hill climb championship. and i one by 3 seconds and i break that last record by 2 seconds or something which in her climb turns if it's like a lot. i me,

i just when i went to scott has experience and have you want to surprise me included like where did that come from? said 2017 was my last year hill clinic. and at the end of that year there was a within the, within the team structure, there was the opportunity to do an endurance race. in that car. i looked the calendar, i could if i had the budget, the one race and i looked on the was one word that popped out of me. the mon november 2017 thought. wow. 3 or endurance race in a prototype at the barn. of course, not the 24 hour course disability circuit. but nonetheless, i never thought in my wildest dreams that i could stand on the podium at the mall and not just, not just me, but real me. and i just remember thinking,

which is, you know, if i can, if i can do this, i can get this fall. then that's like her. it's like a sign. it's like, you know him. it's like, you've got a clear train. you gotta keep going and try make this happen and raised the 24 hours long for ill. whether i got on the podium or not as another thing in this life, i want to help other people find the happiness that i found. and, and i also want other people to understand the role they can play in facilitating more inclusive environments where everybody can be the true authentic self. when you're brave you, you take risks. sometimes it doesn't go to where you want, but, but more often than not you, you like i could go faster around the corner. i can,

i can take that, that corner in 4th gear. i can't acquiring 50 you. you just continually push the boundaries, push your own limits of what's comfortable with what, what's cheaper bowen and before long you have built courage and build resilience. you build something very yeah. very real inside. i think 70 charlie pretty surprised. i think 70 her charlie was pretty happy cuz i never imagined that things would be the way they are now. so i think i feel like i've had to wait a long time. i had to quit patient and the system, but i think you can say right out as like a good time. so yeah, i think 7 year be would be be pretty happy like this. give me a big part of it is deleting a possibility. yeah. if you believe something is possible, you, you give it a guy,

you give the 100 percent rather than talk yourself out of it. say, i do. he said this is impossible, i can't do this. this isn't for me. so suddenly you flip that around and you think, okay, but it is possible and i and i've just proven i can do that will. what else can i do? ah, wait a go, charlie and stay tuned for more automotive hope street and possibilities on the next episode. of rev aah with
