we had to monica to search for clues and find out what need pablo picasso. take your romance in 30 minutes on d, w. i. she's got any issues or thoughts i will grade. he will be with will. the neo e l 7 past the ultimate endurance test. we put the car through its paces over 1500 kilometers and the arctic cold of northern china and is the tail to break through machine. we need meet the a i powered autonomy delivery robot. now on rev

with the delivery service of the future looks a bit like a box on wheels, but it's actually a high tech robot. it's near autonomy and could soon be delivering packages in germany. it's named is tail with cargo by based upon his vehicle. and it's lightweight electric vehicle fully electric, and it's very similar to what autonomy is car in terms of the sensors. so it's very safe. and it's the 1st edit for autonomy vehicle that we will see very soon in our streets in germany. ah,

cameras and sensors enable the robot to see everything in its surroundings and recognize obstacles, pedestrians or even traffic lights. tail is capable of making rounds by itself. but it's not that say in a state where we can fully trust these systems. so we have a human intelligence on top which can then am supplement the computer intelligence with the right feedback on the other hand. and there's a new german law would says edit for autonomy is allowed on the streets. and at the thought on a me means that is always a supervisor who is and looking at the robot and can make decisions into it. father, always small robots could be joined on germany, streets by autonomous buses, cars and trucks. but is german society ready for all

this? this is this readings. we should abide snakes as my to hate to say. because 1st of all, i, the manufacturer has to show the federal motor transport authority that these vehicles meet, the legally mandated safety requirements on autonomy driving into defaults. and when fanaticism believes he said, secondly, light a control center is required by law to supervise these kinds of vehicles, safety, and help solve problems that arise. and that the robot cannot resolve on its own. i mean, we should try and come to lose any event that tail causes an accident. it's owner is liable. it's remote controlled. there won't be a fleet of drivers, just one person controlling a number of tails. that lowers delivery costs by 2 thirds. but designer ashwin rama condron still has work to do. currently he still refining the prototype, which is no easy task. every aspect of it is

is challenging, but also i don't find it challenging because it's very passionate. it's very yeah. if it's not hard, it's not fun. with the prototype, tayo traveled to italy last week in a box there, it made its debut on public streets and proved to popular with the kids. for now, it still needs police protection. but next year it's down to business. and he he made in china. any venture seeker made in england a challenge made by rev. i really hope it was a charger. alba, denise

o. e l 7, a 1500 kilometer extreme test, charging infrastructure. swapping stations side, barry and tigers and temperatures of up to minus 40 degrees can miss brit taken a car through an extreme wind protest in the ice east of terrains and live to tell the tale. i have a tough question. if your mobile phone runs out of battery in just a few minutes when it's minus 20, what will one of china's best new energy vehicles do when it's minus 40? will today, we're going to find out. my name is elliot. behind me is the neo e 7 o e l 7 in europe. we're taking a trip to one of china's most nolan points where we going to search for elusive

northern lights. what of my childhood dreams? we must be mad. welcome to ref. mm mm ah, journey begins, the hobbin, i see snow festival, the largest such event in the world. every year artists renee and fall, come and build some of the worlds biggest ice sculptures creating a spectacle that attracts up to $18000000.00 visitors in spite of the bone chilling temperatures and winds. oh, no, i know you're thinking, why am i taking the neo e l 7 into such a cold and challenging environment? what is a very good reason for that? even if you don't live in china, you will have heard about neo, they're expanding rapidly in europe. this year to scandinavia, to germany and the netherlands. and this has a lot of expectations to live up to

a lot of varied and challenging conditions that the car has to perform. and we don't all live in sunny beach towns. but we all eventually moving to new energy vehicles. so with that, as introduce the route we're starting in hop in, in the northeast corner of china. west of us is mongolia in the east, in north korea. and 1500 kilometers up north is our destination mawha. a beloved tourist spot in china is spite of the optic conditions. because this is one of the key places where you can sometimes see the northern life. and i've always wanted to experience that with this is the hub in siberian tiger pod and it's feeding time. now is important to remember these very tigers in front me right here,

which are massive or native to the area that we're going in the north of china as a brown bed. so this is not a place you want to run out of electric juice. the l 7 however, nearly has it's covered in 2 ways. the 1st is we need power where little vine will come. busy and if we get stuck and give us a little bit of a charge. yeah, the 2nd is the e l 7 camping mode. so if we do get stuck somewhere for the evening, we can lock the door and maintain the cabin temperature on the inside. now hopefully we don't have to use any of those, and we won't be seeing these tigers in real life. again, there's just one john obstacle, the 1500 kilometer road from here to there. and i already told you how scarcity

code it gets ok, which will lead to believe batteries hate. but it's also filled with steep mountain posted with batteries. so does love and only a few charging points, which means the near 7 really have to live up to its range from series of over 500 kilometers on a single charge. if women to get there china used to have serious pollution problems. one answer was to make each hugely attractive to tax and other incentives. today, they everywhere in cities like shanghai, aging, or hub in life in a chinese city, wasn't easy, easy charge that everywhere. and in fact, china post around $2000000.00 charges in comparison, all of europe only around $300000.00 plus movies rarely need maintenance. and performance is excellent.

i'm a local restaurant in hobbin, and i'm about to have lunch with a couple of neo owners. in fact, one of them and this very restaurant, and i'm curious to find out what do they think about me driving into the frozen north china? why should i have my main concern for you is charging. i'm a little bit anxious because i don't know how many kilometers you can drive between charging in the cold. but i feel confident the service technicians can help you if there's a problem. whenever i have any problem related to the car, i call there after sale service, they care even more than i do, which gives me a warm feeling. i will look at it. but now as much as i like hobbin, it's time to get back into the warm, neo, and onto the road. to morrow there's just one more thing i need to do.

as you can see behind me, where are you near battery stopping station is 87 behind me. it's getting a battery change in just 3 minute. we're actually next, but this will be our last battery swap before driving 1500 kilometers nor. so we bought the tick route and that's going to have all of our battery charges all the way up. this is actually the last house got this 87 whom i finished when next in line. so we're going to get you know, how the to oh the last no. i pay attention to that, you know, show them the new some good.

there is a lot of hope, the graphite battery to radically reduce charging times in the near future. but then know in mass production, just yeah, i, so this is currently the quickest way to get to the road. i wish the station we're already available where we're going because while many places now have fast super charges, that can get any of these relatively quickly back onto the road. only these battery substations are currently as quick as filling up your gas tank. china is a vast country and the differences between urban and rural areas can be stark. these futuristic battery swap stations make city life with ease, easy. and i can only hope they will come to more and more areas.

but from here on out, i'm really leaving the big cities behind ahead of me a 1500 kilometers of mountains code. and if i'm really lucky, amazing, northern lights, ah, it has to be said the that the road ahead to maha is also a real test for this new technology that we hope will carriers into the next century. while gas stations everywhere range anxiety in an e. v is still a thing. and as the frozen mountains of halem, john come into view ahead. our battery range drops by up to 50 percent. in the coming days. this will force us to carefully planned the route ahead because with the limited number of available charges, we now can't afford to miss a single one. ah,

oh, ah.

really heights is a charger outlay with an on my way to the very northern end of china to find a had a near e l 7, a battery operated cost phase in the extreme cold temperatures and hopefully to also see the elusive northern lights. ah, and with

join me on a very cold minus 25 day. now i need to fill the car with some electrons and i need for my belly with some nutrients. so better get going. ah oh oh, there is something i have to tell you about northerners, even on the coldest days, many don't wear gloves. you could get the impression there just tough because life, he definitely is no easy. but you'd be missing so much talk. even in the most remote coolness here, we have constantly being approached by friendly and curious people. not only a lot. oh oh yeah. oh

cool. yeah. lemme let. oh, not door. when i was like, oh, many want to chat to show us around to introduce their amazing hearty foods and tell us about their lives. i've lived in china for a long time, but i never expected such a cold place like the fondles to greet me with this much more a number and a little field until you please help me on the be oh yeah. i mean, what the model don't

based off you just use your fingers, stick in the lettuce and roll out of a good role. i put some sauce on it. mm hm. good food is the best is so flavor would meet source the best of the me

now i suppose it's time we talked about the near l 7, which has been our trusty feed for the past few days. and he, we all with chinese heritage against chinese future. i look at this fantastic color is bright always really stands out against the snow here. now we've been driving quite challenging conditions as you can see. and all the technology which is packed inside has been really useful. so it's got automatic high beams, which did what it said on coming cars. it's got the cameras, the light off, which helps us to relax a bit more in the cabin. and it's not just up the car has a 100 kilo our battery, which is giving us more than enough range to get through these mountainous pulses, hilly roads in this area. one more thing. we got flow time. really useful. as you can see,

1.4000000000 people call china home. even lou halem, john is one of the largest provinces. just 32000000 people live here. you can sometimes joyce hours without spotting another so until suddenly a train appears in the night. on the way to where you are going to more her me range. that is the thought in my mind. even after nearly 5 days on this trip

through cities, mountains, i know the bumpy roads. i find the seat still comfortable and the ride just right. i expected to be exhausted. instead, my mind imagined snow drifts blocking a road or hungry tigers, finding me late at night 10 years ago, near and it's electric vehicles didn't even exist just now meal and now they're building a 1000 more charges in rural china. i think 10 years from now range would be on my mind. when you think about the logistics of this chip, it really is remarkable. as you can see behind me, the locals put their cars in the car, sleeping bags to protect them from the cold weather. we can't really do that with the charges or the battery and sometimes they get frozen as an example, this bottle left in the car last night when it was minus 32 and it's completely

frozen solid and expanded the plastic. most of the lakers we spoken to have also said this trip is simply not possible, but so far we've managed to prove the wrong she way you is one of the people building the charging that we're up here in the remote north of china. i asked him about the difficulties working in such cold temperatures. to me from a woman. thank you very much, correct. it's very difficult. we face serious challenges of the north because as you know, during winter temperatures here dropped far below 0 and we are working all the way up into the tundra golden tube. so we're showing sometimes the ground here will become very hard and even the equipment used for construction becomes very hard to use. it can be very difficult to lay the groundwork and even once the equipment is in place, our operators need to work in very harsh outdoor environments to ensure

a smooth operations on sugar. you know, we've been fatal and she's not showing one of the show that you know, we need to know that you know, on january 20th this year, the area around mall had dropped to minus 50 degrees celsius. that's the lowest measured temperature. since 969, when do we do? the song should not, should thank you, will need to pay you to go to the teacher that you know, given me and then after driving through yet another night we arrive at the morning sun reveals the stunning beauty of one of china's largest nature with us

along the border to russia, i, i, ah, ah, there are many things we need to do to preserve the world. we love. one is the decomposition of our cause. of course minnow still need to be mind. an extracting rare earth does bring its own problems. but already 99 percent of these batteries can be recycled and used in another e v. when this one expires. unfortunately, my childhood dream of seeing the northern lights remains unfulfilled. nonetheless,

i drove over $1500.00 clumps is in the freezing coat, charged 8 times used one battery swapping station right at the start. and i traveled into the unknown and got past many affair along the way. ah without carbon spilling out of our exhaust, completely silent, leaving little more than time on. ah, we made a, it's a more her in northern china where it's a very chilly minus 35 degrees right now. what surprised me is not how the neo, the electric car is god is here, but how it's done in comfort refinement with warmth. and it shows that neo is ready to conquer the world with the e. l 7. and there are the models, the,

even the electric car is ready for any situation. i've got to head back to shanghai . now, my name is ellie richards, and see you next time. ah ah ah, and here's to conquering the world again on the next episode of rev. ah ah, with

who the pablo? picasso redefined, european fine arts. but where did his creative inspiration come from the place of his birth? perhaps? on the 50th anniversary of his death, we had to mulligan to search for

a find out what made pablo picasso. take your romance. coming up on d. w. in a globalized world where everything is connected, all it takes is a smart to set things in motion. local hero show how their ideas can change the world. global 3000 in 30 minutes on d w o. o time for a brain update. it's magic. it's the kind of magic

the because this orchestra called the brain continuously adapts itself. and so we ask a few astute questions. are we smarter in swarms or us psycho o wouldn't causes monster waves? hope powerful or your thoughts? however, we can control our thoughts, which makes us very power came. we have to learn a lot and we do that through play. questions about life, the universe and the rest. kind of like a superpower. our series 40 to the answers almost everything. this week on d. w. like when you work as an architect, he go all in or not at all women in architecture. why are they so

invisible to the larger public? we decided to ask them, messes and what is the poetry the secret of the house about their struggles and dreams. if i wrote walkability is huge, they have so much to lose shattering the glass ceiling women in architecture. this has to be really, really good. starts april 20th on d, w. ah, this is, do you got good news and these are our top stories. the u. s. justice department has launched an investigation into the leap of what appears to be calcified military information. the documents relates to russia's board and ukraine and what published on social media.
