ah, welcome to take talk with him about hackers and paralyzing entire societies. computers that are some are you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for, and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now, due to the world's best selling car of all time tested be autonomous feature of the last mile transportation analyzed. and the secrets of an e car built for both land and water. uncover it right now on rad with
8:31 am
there's probably no greater success story in the automotive world than the toyota corolla. over the course of 50 years, the corolla has established itself as the best selling car of all time, with over 50000000 sold as of 2021. but what has led to its by decades of success? i guys welcome to malaga. today i got invited by toyota to take a closer look at the best selling model all over the world. this is us generation of the toyota corolla. next to me is the 1st generation from 966. and as you can see, quite a lot has changed till then. one reason for the corolla success was the 80 plus points concept. the idea being on a scale of $1.00 to $100.00. the car must attain a balance score in all areas with performance succeeding 90 points,
8:32 am
and it worked the practical corolla with a 4 speed gearbox and hence of sporty design, blew out of dealerships, fantastic casa, careful with. and in 1997, the corolla surpassed the vw beetle as the most sold car of all time. a crown it since retained fast forward to 2023 and a lot has changed. toyota now celebrates 25 years of hybrid power, with a hybrid system. also in the latest corolla models. the toyota corolla is either powered by a 1.8 liter hybrid system with 140 horse power. now off, like in our case in the spots to with the bigger 2 will lead to a hybrid system with $196.00 aust power. i mean, that's pretty solid numbers and toyota upgraded them and they say, by the way,
8:33 am
we got way more performance in this cars right now. but in the same way they are more efficient and less in consumption. i mean, that's the big plus point. if it's the truth, like its predecessor, the new corolla has a standard cvt transmission that ensures a smooth transition between gears and while switching between the electric and internal combustion power. so the general driving experience in the coral, us boards to rise very relaxed and comfortable bombs in the road. a well damped and in the interior ads, pleasantly wyatt. and i really like that. thank the promised increase of performance with lower consumption and high efficiency is definitely the noticeable i would say in keeping with its reputation as a reliable and safe car. the new gen corolla also comes with
8:34 am
a host of assistance systems, even in the entry level model, including latest intersection turn, assist adaptive cruise control and more of cause. the corolla is only available as a full hybrid and not as a pure combustion engine, for example. but that means as well, there's no purely electric version as well. and i thought like, why didn't they have the electric version of the cold? toyota told me they are not planning to bring out a fully electric version of the corolla yet because they don't see the need of it. they want to improve their full hybrid system, make it more efficient and more fun to drive for the customer. and i can understand that because they did a great job with the new 2 liter. busy and the new 1.8 liter, and i think of course not every way in the well, there's electricity where you can charge you a car. for example, a saw
8:35 am
a pool hybrid is a good good point. to further increase efficiency, toyota has modified the vehicles control unit and transmission, and also installed a more powerful lithium ion battery. on the inside, the corolla, sports tour is nice and spacious. with the decent infotainment system and digital display. the seats are comfortable can be heated and also have slick kazoo racing headrests. so guys, what's my final verdict on the toyota corolla? the newest generation, i have to say i had a lot of fun driving it. i think it's really comfortable. it's you, it's every body for every day drive. so i understand why the most salad caught in the walt because you get a lot of ca for your money. you have many safety options which are standard here. so you get got a lot of space in the car. if you drive every day,
8:36 am
you will see it's also sustainable, which is really, really important as i buy a new car. so. busy i understand why it's the most popular car, the toyota corolla, touring sports with the large 2 point oh liter engine started around 37000 euros in germany. on the plus side, this will get you a solid daily driver with an efficient hybrid system and plenty of performance. on the flip side, there's no all electric version on the horizon. and even the sportier model could do with a little more of toyota's kazoo racing dna with ah, is this the future of last mile transportation and big cities in estonia and man delivery robots, sharing the bright with passenger vehicles is no longer science fiction. or vision is to have an electric unmanned vehicle that doesn't really produce any c o 2.
8:37 am
in recent years, estonia has become the place where the rubber hits the road for autonomous driving tax. the latest unmanned innovation isn't confined to sidewalks or pre programmed routes. the domain of the clever one delivery vehicle is on the road. estonian start up here. module was one of the world's 1st business customers to receive a parcel from an unmanned tele operate at delivery right up last year. now we have received out bottles of additional way, fielding couriers who bring them up by advance big trucks. and this is the 1st time that we have used our older pamela g itself. and liability company currently receives up to 10 parcels in 2 to 3 deliveries. this way per week, they say reducing emissions is the prime benefit of unmanned electric. so delivery,
8:38 am
the receiving parcel with claim on one was sa, extremely satisfying. because her, her pollution rate is really, really low when you're using robertson electric vehicles as we are receiving girl, mainly small part, something called margin. been now in the future, this is something that we will definitely be using cur, only patterns as at school, thomas vehicles can one day reduce las mile labor costs by 80 to 90 percent. moreover, the evie is tail pipe emission, free 11. 1 is about half the size of a typical delivery van. it only weighs 320 kilograms when empty. in 202011 became the 1st company in europe with a permit to operate unmanned vehicles on public roads. according to clement, the vehicles have since clocks over 40000 kilometers, buyers get to customize the colors lovek holes. so estonia has been the test bed where we have managed to, you know,
8:39 am
show the world that we're, that on man. because our, our, a safe delivery and transportation method. we would like to him or make the last mile deliberate, more efficient by providing the precise tools that are required for inner city rapid last mile delivery ah, the explosion of e commerce as a major reason why urban last mile delivery traffic has been growing significantly in recent years by 203036 percent more delivery vehicles are forecast to rome, inner city streets globally. yet last mile, delivery is considered one of the least efficient and most polluting processes in a supply chain. congestion and appellation caused by last mile transportation are especially bad and densely populated. urban areas. more than 300 cities in europe. hello. now have low emission zones where fossil fuel vehicles abound or restricted .
8:40 am
wow. and like that human counterparts, very, very couriers might one day operate nonstop thanks to wireless charging during loading or unloading which cabins as is being tested. and how does the self driving technology walk fast the operational area is mapped with tele operated vehicles, producing a high precision semantic map in autonomous married vehicles and uses the map to find the most optimal route. plus, there are cameras providing a $360.00 degree field of view and the front radar and neural networks to attack, to predict the movement of surrounding objects on the basis of which the vehicle can slow down to prevent possible accidents. thanks to 4 g. latency is not an issue . kevin says, making self driving mote. safe is not the only challenge pioneering unmanned parcel delivery brings about for one. what happens when recipients don't collect their parcels? we need to understand what are the possibilities and how the consumers will her
8:41 am
accept the sir delivers, because they are a slightly different approach. they need her to come down from nora apartment building to get the parts of so i go on too much as well. need to adopt a little bit that should be one small or monday port within the city area. and from there several multiple vehicles are heading out and delivering in sierra and then we are seeing already very good efficiency. another innovation, both d p d, anti celestine, are currently testing a, separating the cargo space. se parcels can be delivered to up to 6 individual customers per delivery round plus increasing efficiency. we are selling the whole unit together with the top publication. ah, which we manufacture in house as well. and that top up took that top application is actually customized to each customers in the b. your requirements are because the
8:42 am
week was, might have different purposes. some kevin once deliver packages, which means they need a parcel locker on wheels, others deliver food items, which requires a grocery specific refrigerator. kevin vehicles are limited to 25 kilometers an hour for now. they're still controlled by humans in the background. each of these so called tele operators who need a category be driver's license and must 1st complete a 2 week course or one day be able to monitor up to 10 vehicles simultaneously. unlike other autonomous vehicle makers, cleverness building autonomous driving systems. on the basis of tele operation, we are saying, but 96 percent, the economy is already enough to do to make a significant mark and, and the cost reduction and efficiency grease. in the last, my delivery space might be 6 percent, means that we are still using some level of till operation and human touch are to grow to allow their fleet of we goes to be operated on the public gross. oh
8:43 am
thomas, their coal still need to clear major regulatory hurdles on the road to replacing traditional delivery vans so far. only france and germany have authorized some level of autonomous driving. an e. u wide regulation could speed things up. but currently it's just a legal framework for the approval of automated and fully driverless vehicles. aside from d, p d and d h l express estonia, the hardware and software company has one customer each. in lithuania, belgium and the us. kevin says more than 50 other companies are waiting to test the unmanned robo koreas. the manufacturer aims to have a fleet of a 100 vehicles during deliveries by the end of 2024, and a 1000 vehicles by 2025. kevin also plans to build a larger version of its unmanned delivery robot. furthermore, it envisages a driverless spec. hold on one day transport people can unmanned electric vehicles, fix the massive problems plaguing la smile avenue delivery. less and less.
8:44 am
vehicles that are driving with petrol are allowed in the city centers so. so we see that having an electric, small efficient, we go to replace gas guzzling trucks, are eas, word of oregon. we're just going, our technology can be deployed globally, potentially. we are actually providing a tool to gradually increase the level of an electric efficient trucks on the roads and it's, it's a continuous process. so throughout many, many years. in the meantime, cleverness striving to make some, your toner mas, transportation part and parcel of a sustainable peak chan, one delivery at a time. if you want more read, 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 tech or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us. if you tube slash dw rep, and you'll always be up to speed tell about diving into an automated well, 3 is conventional boundaries. like with a zoom on that new, had a good sailor. never get seasick. unless that's a special feeling of just being able to drive off the road and into the water. it's a very special kind of freedom is under the eyes. and one that means unadulterated enjoyment of your surroundings. idea, but it couldn't. all i hear with an electric amp, a car or the propellers and a little bit of drive train noise. give voice is leaking over when the buzz you get when you try back out will can then you just carry on. driving the up
8:46 am
. i looked like a dream come true out the car. it really is such a freedom without limits with i'm because before me the amp, a car symbolizes a cool, easy going party. feeling on the water with the girls and the champagne made it kind of august. if you can relax and just let yourself go and it does indeed look like a very relaxing, right? that's thankful. so to mathias gone to having converted the amphibious car to electric power own,
8:47 am
there's no engine rattle and none of the stench either you wish and you certainly get a more intense feel for the nature of the intern from it. the m fi car is as the name suggests, an amphibious vehicle equally at home on land or on the water. it's powered by a 41 horse power gasoline engine. the original model was unveiled to the german public at the 1900. 63 international mate, a show in frankfort, uses home and fuels, namely, smith or co on both of us element. it's most of the m. p car was the 1st and to date only mass produced vehicle of its kind. it's may cause a west. germany built around 3800 units between 961 and 68 hands triple the maverick car. constructor design debts had sold for just over $10000.00 deutsche max around $5000.00 euros in today's money, making it twice the price of a vw bug. so this is, this is the original sales brochure. school marketing. yet here's some one plunging
8:48 am
into a river, only order in for us. ah, i is this together, the 19th sixty's were a decade of major change. when a new generation was making its presence fell and started, there was also a new kind of music. think of the flower power error in the us. i mean, plus the beatles. a beatles come the wolf. i was and it said this. oh, there was a new upbeat mood back then for me, the ant a car symbolizes a cool, easy going party. feeling to sol closes and there was even a mobile home to go with it. got caught this issue and, and some people went all the way to italy in it. and the imagine crossing the brenner pass in this 41 horsepower car. and then having an amphibious mobile home and went on, doesn't you really had to be some kind of romanticism to do something like that is
8:49 am
like what was of as the modern mathias santa is a hotelier in tarpon tabula by the mosul river in western germany. and is also an avid collector of am because in 2017 he converted his hotels to green palla that same year, the e cap, mobility company was tossed, with converting the gasoline pallet and the car into an electric muddle. there were 2, it was called that oh 1st they took out the engine of wood which then became a backup for a different car that i was fucked. and over here or is the electric handler, carsten when electron to close it as well. here we have the battery box, se, but as he kistin below them is the electric motor, which was blanched on to the old trails measure in this. and it's, it's not like the tesla were to where you set it to drive his law and then just accelerate and break. i mean of the or far you do have to shift gears with this car . so no one was here in the thought. don't know, shut demons, it's to, if you drive at a reasonable pace and cruise instead of going at full throttle of to bus,
8:50 am
it will keep going for 8 hours on the water on top of that was when the batteries are really heavy. but so it lies a little lower in the water than the regular at the car, because the motor weighs more than the old engine for here. in order to re balance the weight distribution with the fuel tank now gone, the experts added an extra battery block to shower formula. 70 years later, we have this box which houses the batteries are the but this is where you access the socket. you more than just like with any modern electric car. so going for the stick with the electric addition is a bit quicker out of the blocks than it is. gasoline powered old, a cousin, but is top speed is a good 20 kilometers per hour. slower. but still cruising along as a 100 clicks in this convertible is fast enough. it is advertised i
8:51 am
misplaced is, audrey and the car is a poor car, and a poor boat called me not soon. i was by them, but the 2 combined, it makes it really special. it is on either side on the road. it does rock about quite a bit in riot due to the high white wall tires shipped and at the bottom of it, a good sailor never get seasick on that new. i'd see exactly what the amcom most definitely is. is a loss have fun with if i just love being able to drive strength from the road into the wall, it really is such a freedom without limits yada time to make the car see worthy is maha. as with any boat, the life belt has to be stowed within, easy reach at all times. and you also need to install extra like
8:52 am
this. i mean, and it's yes. license as both the car and as a boat export on boats need a rear navigation line. so that other vessels can tell whether you're ahead or behind them at night. there was an issue for him been order in the, in been and there's a navigation line at the front to pose. it's owns the headlamp all are redundant now of course frozen below. so and a proper check also includes the fog horn, the dish of the board. super easy and don't forget those rubber seals either for the set of yeah, i book notes why it has just these 2 rubber strips that you pressed together and using this lever to susan and that guarantees are 100 percent watertight nuggets with didn't. when this guarantee and the doors good, this did the water line, nissan to about here is he and bustling the fear. ah,
8:53 am
that matches. and the am fi car is now see was a so it gets dozens, vasa, it's like we hit the water and i need to turn on the ignition pillow. i get the 2 propellers going and then get into gear when i gun and we're off. it's those mid level now drive into the water and just touch on the gas. the propellers are already turned on fixing god, when people believe that his ideas were afloat. it's been all now just disengaged. the gears so that the wheels are stopped turning the light on this mimic thing uses clyde the board so. so i don't need a rudder with this little boat and oh, the steering asked via the front wheel just front of it. and that's why the white well tires are a bit higher than my or the wheels are, the easier it makes the thing to steer. still, young people have always dreamed of overcoming the boundaries between the elements
8:54 am
and he, comp, production ceased in the 900 sixty's because the complex construction was too expensive and sales never got off the grounds that ganja is confident. the electric edition put, give amphibious cause a new lease of life that covered is the hard to know. you have more options these days, healthy lifestyle. you can definitely make it lighter so that it needs less electricity and can go faster to. i'm cotton. all. i'm on the cell, renew my didn't router and when someone had the guts to develop it and put it on the market at an affordable price, we'd like to bring. and then i reckon it could be really successful. the up hooked eyesight, and even the end of a bite trip in the mc car has its own special cells. so it's legged in there now. i'll engage 1st gear over there and really turn up the gas. i did buy now up and out by the ramp as well it's, it'll get a bit bumpy. now the rear wheels engaged that i had of it and i fat on god's earth
8:55 am
as it were of goodness, it is so and the buzz you get when you drive back out. i was flawed when it starts to shake and vibrate up by the white and then you just carry on driving that it's just magic. but she has gone to regularly traits his hotel guests to excursions in his house because they certainly lend a whole new perspective to trips along the romantic mozilla river. ah, the unique river trips and i will highlight on his guests itinerary meeting is what makes the electric i'm the car is so special is that it's a lot quieter than the gasoline version. you can take in a lot more of the surrounding site. it's not especially nice in the evening when the sun's going dining. you're traveling across the water down and your last saw
8:56 am
yet you can relax and just let yourself go for one tough. i'm so dizzy bowman with the electric, i'm free car adds a new dimension to modern mobility and is indisputably one of the coolest ways of getting from a to b. and stay tuned for more unconventional modes of transports. on the next episode of rev. mm ah with
