w global media on 2023 in bonn, germany and online and increasingly fragmented world with a growing number of voices, digitally amplified. you see where this clutter can lead what we really need, overcoming divisions into vision for tomorrow's journalism. register now and join us for this discussion at the 16th edition of d. w's global media forum. 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 that break through machine? we need mate. the a i powered autonomous 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 his 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, 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 for the role with 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 you 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 out this is in between, he had 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, you can try and come to reduce 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 a 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. any he made in china? any venture seeker made in england a challenge made by rev. i really hope it was a charger. alba, denise l. e l 7, a 1500 kilometer extreme test. charging infrastructure. swapping stations,

side berry in tigers, and temperatures of up to minus 40 degrees. can this brit taken a car through an extreme winter test in the ice east of terrains and live to tell the tale? i have a tough question. if your mobile phone runs out a 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 northern points where we going to search for the elusive northern lights. what of my childhood dreams? we must be mad. welcome to ref.

blue jenny begins hobbin, i see snow festival, the largest such event in the world. every year. artists renee and fall, come and build some of the world's 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 nea. 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 live in sunny beach towns. but we all eventually moving to new energy vehicles. so with that, as introduced the route we're starting in hop in, in the northeast corner of china. west of us is mongolia in the east. it north korea and 1500 kilometers up north is our 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 lights. 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 siberians hodges in front of me right here, which are massive or native to the area that we're going in the knowles of china as

a brown bez. so this is not a place you want to run out of electric juice in on the o e l 7. however, the o has is covered in 2 ways. the 1st is with no power where little van will come along. busy if we get stuck and give us a little bit of a charge, the 2nd is the e l seven's 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 john obstacle, the 1500 kilometer road from here to there. and i already told you how scary cold it gets. ok, which will lead to believe batteries hate, but it's also filled with steep mountain pulses, which batteries in. so don't love. and only a few charging place,

which means the near e o 7 really has to live up to its range, promises of over 500 kilometers on a single charge. if women to get there, johnny used to have serious pollution problems. one answer was to make even hugely attracted through tax and other incentives to day. they everywhere in cities like shanghai aging or hub in life in a chinese city wasn't. evie is easy charges are everywhere and in fact, china post around $2000000.00 charges in comparison. all of europe only around $300000.00 plus evey's rarely 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 if you did your but 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. me. but now as much as i like hobbin, it's time to get back into the wall near and onto the road to moore, her. there's just one more thing i need to do. as you can see behind me where say new battery stopping station is 87 behind me is

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've got the optic root and that's going to have all of our battery charges all the way up. this is actually the last stop this 87 whom i finished when next in line. so we're going to get, you know, how the i just last know i pay attention to that, you know, show, don't renew some good. there is a lot of hope. the graphite batteries to radically reduce charging times in the near future. but they're not in mass production just yet. i.

so this is currently the quickest way to get to the road. i 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 stock. these futuristic batteries, 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 mawha 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 a navy 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 allen? with one on my way to the very northern end of china. to find out how the neo e. l 7, a battery operated cost 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 the nutrients. so better get going. ha, ha, ha, 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. i'll talk even in the most remote corners here we are constantly being approached by friendly and curious people. not all your life. i feel the law again. ah, what you did. ah, because what you thought you were my quite lawyer or not or?

well, 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 little field. i'm dirty and if they call the living, 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 the me know, i suppose it's time we talked about the near l 7 which has been our trustees stayed for the past few days and he, we all with chinese heritage

a chinese future. i look 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 beam which did what it said on coming cause 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. healey, roads, in this area. one more thing. we got flow ties really useful. as you can see,

1.4000000000 people who china home the even lou 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 moore, 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 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 chip, 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 and i'll call last night when it was minus 32 and it's completely frozen solid and expanded the plastic. most likely 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 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. from golden people to be were from 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

a fatal and she's not showing sure that you want to go and you do not. i was told 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. thank you, will need to pay you to go to the teacher that you know me . and then after driving through yet another night we arrive at the morning sun reveals the stunning beauties of one of china's largest nature with us along the border to russia. 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 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, a fear along the way. ah without carbon spilling out of our exhaust, completely silent, leaving little more than tire mom. we made it to 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 rubbish in space. defective talk and discard the technology are becoming a growing danger. sometimes things down

satellite waned the dark side of the space to close up. even 90 minutes on d. w with did you do the full to tennis, tennis? has she survived our spits 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 at home. i don't get the tennis. i was the only one . what lies and luc music in nazi germany. watch now on youtube, d. w documentary. are you ready to get a little more extreme?

ah, these places in europe are smashing all the records. stepped into a bold adventure. just don't lose your grip. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of europe's wykard breaking sites on you tube and know also in book form like when you work as an architect, eco allan, 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 for both ability 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 ah, this is dw news lie, but from berlin tonight, french president emanuel macros lays out his vision of europe and gets heckled in the process. during a state visit to the netherlands, background tried to emphasize economic reform in the e u, but protestors interrupted calling micron the president of hypocrisy not democracy .
