from electronic waist. now i'm showing people how it's done. to 60 minutes on d w. these places in europe are smashing all the records. step into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of europe's record breaking sites on google maps. youtube and now also in book form ah, 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 mate. 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 autonomous and could soon be delivering packages in germany. it's name is tail, bob. it's a cargo bike based upon this vehicle. and it's lightweight electric vehicle fully electric. and it's very similar to a autonomy 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,

wow. 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 let say in a state where we can fully trust the systems. so we have a human intelligence on top which can then and supplement the computer intelligence with the right feedback. on the other hand. and there's a new german law would says edit, full autonomy is allowed on the streets. and at the thought of me means there 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 is, is this readings we should have i next 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 found that this is in between, he had secondly, like 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 tried 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. i mean denture seeker made in england a challenge made by rev. i really hope it was a charger out there. to neil

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 a factory 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 northern points where we're going to search for the elusive northern lights. what of my childhood dreams?

we must be god. welcome to rest. blue 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 varies 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 hoffman in the northeast corner of china. west of us is mongolia and the east it north korea on 1500 kilometers up north to south destination mawha. a beloved tourist spot in china is spice of the optic conditions. because this is one of the few 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 that these iberian tigers in front of me right here, which are my,

the native to the area that we're going in the north, the 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 volume come along. 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 doors 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 joint obstacle, the 1500 kilometer road from here to there. and i already told you how scarcity code it gets,

which will lead to believe that we have. 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 the range 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 a be 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 the everywhere. and in fact, china based around $2000000.00 charges in comparison, all of europe only around $300000.00 plus movies really need maintenance and performance is excellent. i'm here as a local restaurant in hobbin. i'm about to have lunch with

a couple of neo owners. in fact, one of them and this very restaurant, i'm curious to find out what do they think about me driving into the frozen north of china. and what, what i should die and he did your part. my main concern for you is charging for i'm a little bit anxious because i don't know how many kilometers you can drive between charging in the cold or so. 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 sales service. they care even more than i do, which gives me a warm feeling or i will get a drink from them with me. but now as much as i like hobbin, it's time to get back into the warm, neo, and onto the road to moore, her 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 is getting a battery change in just 3 minutes. well actually next, but this will be our last battery swap before driving 1500 kilometers nor. so we bought the tick route up north, 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 better get going. you know, how the oh, the last. no. i pay attention to a no show. don't know new good. there is

a lot of hope. the graphite batteries 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 just wish the stations were 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 that the road ahead to moore her is also a real test for this new technology that we hope will carry us 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 forces 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 outlet. it i know my way to the very northern end of china to find out how the near e l 7, a battery operated car phase in the extreme cold temperatures and hopefully to also see the elusive northern lights with

johnny 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. 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, they're 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 all of your life. oh ah, what you did. ah,

because you're either or your mom i do it or not, or 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 far north to greet me with this much more a number to the north field or not wrong laura garcia, to play counseling on the v. oh yeah. i mean, what the model

done based off your fingers. stick in the lettuce. roll out of a good role. i put some sauce on it. mm hm. good food is the best is so flavor would meet the source the best the me no, i suppose it's time. we talked about the near l 7,

which has been our trustees feed for the past few days. and here we are with chinese heritage again. 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 when it sees oncoming 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 slow ties, really useful. as you can see,

1.4000000000 people call china home. even though halem, john is one of the lowest provinces, just 32000000 people live here. you can sometimes joyce the hours without spotting another soul 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 its 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 trip, it really is remarkable. as you can see behind me, the locals put that cause in these call 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 bottom left it out call last night when it was minus 32. and it's completely

frozen solid and expanded the plastic. most of the locals we've 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 from a woman. thank you very much, correct. it's very difficult. we face serious challenges and been 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 people to be 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 operation. shooter, you know, we've been a no show trying to show that, you know, we need to know that we're that you know, on january 20th this year, the area around more dropped to minus 50 degrees celsius. that's the lowest measured temperature since $969.00. when do we do? i don't know the song should not should equal to pay to the teacher that you know given me and then after driving through yet another night. we arrive, as the morning sun reveals the stunning beauty of one of china's largest nature

possess along the border to russia. ah, ah, 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 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, cold,

charged 8 times used one battery swapping station right at the start. and i traveled into the unknown and got past many a fair along the way. ah without carbon spilling out of our exhaust. completely silent, leaving little more than time on 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 got 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 l 7. and that all the mottoes, 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 next time ah ah, and here's to conquering the world again on the next episode of rev. ah ah, with

a shaken not stirred meat in 13. i am a highly specialized virus. my rod are searching for precious treasures for rare minerals from electronic way. and now i'm showing people how it's

done with rubbish in space. defects of the technology are becoming a growing danger since some calling things for our satellite waste the dock side of the space to close up 90 minutes on d. w. o. blue with this is to fluid you do the food i think to channel fantastic. ah, she survived auschwitz,

thanks to music. he was the nazis favorite conductor. he is morally degenerate to musicians under the swastika, a documentary about the sounds of power, inspiring story about survival of the home and go get the tennis. i was the only one what might look music in nazi germany. watch now on youtube. d. w documentary. oh time. once again. ah, for a brain update. it's magic. it's the kind of magic because this orchestra called the brain continuously adapts itself. and so we ask a few astute questions. are we smarter swarms or us? i wouldn't causes monster waves. how powerful are your

thoughts? however, we can control i 5, 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 every thing this week on d w. o . this is due calendar news, and these are our top stories. u. s. media fan. ukraine has been forced to change it. it's military plans after trove of u. s. intelligence documents was leaked online. the highly classified documents include strategic.
