the lightest textile waste gets stranded here. all about the final stuff in the global fashion industry. fast fashion. watch now on youtube, the london's iconic black camps get an electric transformation. pluses in kronos, a voltage go driver, free and trans, racing driver, charlie martin on how embracing her authentic self help through excel. right now. fun read. the

black cat, london's unofficial mascot now drives through the city electrically. the top of the on caps was the noise. you know, the thing is, is this discomfort you cramped up? this is so smooth. obviously the most important thing is it, we've got 0 matrix, i still monies to which finally the icons look about this is probably one of the most recognized vehicles in the world. exactly. like the black runabouts, but daughter to london, cityscape for over a century the best of the old traditions. but mary's with new technology. who is a special place in the, in, in,

or how satisfied many people peter powell has driven the cab in london for 27 years. and he loves his job. is quite unique. you because you're in charge of your show for that. so, um you, you got the freedom to go out to work, to ship your life, stop driving through london. and one of those economists black pads is special. even today we retain the tradition of the black cab. we've always been voted the profession taxi service in the world. the traditions this, we don't want me to. busy the tax is like, is it a like on the oh, rich 5 boxes and the bosses? despite his love of tradition, peter is happy that he's swapped his diesel cap for an electric one

that's movies and that comfortable is it takes all the stress of your dies. this is so smooth. region bright came and makes it the loveliest mover everything. the whole world experience, you fantastic family, dc, the company that now builds the electric cabs and the new factory near coventry has shaped the london taxi trade since 19 knowing using the technical underpinnings of an austin. they develop the boxy party variance of the theme to london. can the ethics for introduce to 1958 with the company's most popular model m one 0 its successors had been based on the 2008 emission regulations for 68. we've kept the look the same, so things like the proportions around the headlights, the grill. keep thing that is very,

is that very traditional look i'm. we've temps us on the new ts around. so to la headlights that quite a upfront, slightly grilled the proportions along the side of the vehicle. the the long bonus we have a sense sweeping move line 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 is mandatory london is requirements of very strict in terms of the vehicle length the vehicle with but there's also requirements for it to be wheelchair accessible london was one of the 1st cities in the world to make wheelchair accessibility men to treat all the taxes in, in 1999. so we have to be able to fit a wheelchair that has to be around for the wheelchair. that's

a step. these regulations are very, very restrictive. grading forward and it says also attached to comfort this requirement for the minimum distance between the seats. so that this is a space for people to sit facing each other. and that has to be a sufficient head room. the folklore is that that was put in place because of people with, with top had some bola hats and to be able to gets in and cars that transports passengers. and the british capital also has to be right up there in terms of technology. lots of those 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. as a boy hotel has very,

very tight and create the going into this of would cool. we'd come in on the right hand side as opposed to the left is the only drove in k, where you're supposed to, i'm on a long shot or the problem is, uh yeah, this is all i deal with. the taxi is locked in for this because of the $24.00 foot tony circle. and then it comes here 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 cops. the way we see the biggest changes underneath the bonus, and if we look on the old vehicle, we see that a full cylinder, diesel engine a very much, much of its time in the,

in the late eighty's, but quite noisy, quite rationally and not a very good customer experience compared to what we have now in new t x. where under the bone it is everything to generate electricity. a small fuel based range extender can charge the battery if necessary. the $110.00 kilowatt electric motor is built directly into the rear axle in order to keep the total 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 living in chassis, which originally comes from the aircraft industry. so planes like be about a $320.00 a built this way. on top of that, we put compass panels and to get the,

the, the expertise in that type of a 40 design. and we ended up with the engine is who with experience informed me to one another motor sports to come in and help design an engineer the product. and the engineers also manage to build a huge glass roof and to the aluminum body. this allows passengers to get to know the city even better. a london cabbie austin doubles as a tour, guide me the amory out front of you. where the admin or which you used to pay for like some of the buildings and the last on it. it's a huge hotel. the button loves the golf. absolutely love it. you go to what place just say for the chart for those types of pictures on it's on. sometimes yes, i like them. i'm and i'm

a little low until they're fed up. oh god, randall died they are currently 6500 ts models from l e. d. c. on the road in london. and almost half of all london cabs are now electric. the battery capacity is enough for a 130 kilometers or the equivalent of 8 hours of salt and go traffic. loading the battery to 80 percent out of fast charger takes half an hour. but being forced to take those breaks doesn't bother peter powell little. when clean the cab, you know, so i deal with given me what the written, very, very heavy from the di, my 1st shot in the driving seat of one of these, the very 1st i, i knew i was going to buy one of i quite a few checks, he's on the 27 users, you know, even though this is a very up to die vehicle, the h like conic retrying the,

like clinic look like we need to keep that like when i told the electric london cat. a great example of how british tradition lives on and motors the mission free and innovatively into the future. the fits 9 am and kronos and christina anderson is ready to get her on usual bus on the road. the more it is, i'm the morning we have to do one room without any passengers to see if the technology works. and if there is a construction site somewhere or something unusual on the roof, where we have to say ok today we can't do this. or you have to be careful here.

most of the on the self off this autonomy as bus does a lot on its own driving, breaking, accelerating it precisely follows a virtual blue line. each round trip is 3 kilometers through kronos logos, terrorists, everyone's getting on board. a city bus service is also available, but it only stops at the main tourist location. the rose and back fortress 4 times a day. the steep climb can be tough for some people enter the autonomy shuttle which runs all day. and it's 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 street through the pedestrians down the a and re how 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 1st scan, the entire route, roads, walls and buildings were recorded as a cloud of points. a digital image of the vehicles environment down to this centimeter. the best route was then calculated. this is the blue line stored in the buses, memory lasers on the roof scan the surroundings for up to 100 meters. as it moves, the laser beams are reflected, allowing the bus to calculate its current position. software checks the

position against the store to route any deviation is immediately corrected. the bus remains precisely on the blue line. something and the way the bus comes to a halt is the leading the of the out. here's the line where it would automatically pull into the stop on its own out. this is where the car is. so it would collide on die or it stops and waits for the optical to move into an especially being that i can use the controller to steer the shuttle around and then into the bus stop on the display phones with us. but how safe is the bus? they have an obstacle. suddenly it gets in its way to laser beams, scan the surroundings 50 times. the 2nd time they recognize things that are too close. the bus reacts immediately no moment of shock,

thanks to the sensors. a few steps that 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, line indoors. we have around $3000.00 traffic debts in germany every year. in 90 percent of the result of human error technology has the potential to eliminate most of the 90 percent hire things that no one says puts in, so they don't see. 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 autonomy. i

figured out how it is going to take my life. i'd say myself in to barrett, i just realized i thought anybody have any connection with preston, starbucks manual or supported living tional living is here growing up. so with 3 things that charlie martin was convinced of the 1st that she was trans and didn't identify as meals, the agenda she'd been assigned and but the 2nd, the place she felt most at home was the restrict the tubs that you'd never be able to reconcile these 2 worlds. hi, i'm tony moss and i'm a professional racing driver. i'm in l g b t, t plus activist. i don't have to be the 1st trends, july, the 24 hours of the month. i probably not feeling very limited because knowing as transgender from the young age, i never had any role models growing up. i've never seen anyone like me doing

anything the ice by today and that, or has the effect of making me feel very limited in terms of my life options. caroline, cause the was the 1st person that i discovered he was transgender, and up until that point i didn't realize people could people on this one, gender, feel that they all the dentist size is different. gender and then they can actually physically transition in and so on. and so on. so when i saw her, it was like someone telling me who isn't flat, you know, i can't really risk your recombining in my life. why no, it was about a 1000000 years old. i had a friend co payments and his dad used to race, nope. professionally, but you know,

very competitively at club level. and he said, yeah, you know, we're getting racing. if you're calm, i never actually been to race track and especially being in the pad it with the cause being surrounded by, by all these cause it's very a, it's a very kind of intoxicating smell thing in that environment, you know, tester lawrence and just wind noise and do something about it that just yeah, just let a real stock event easy hasn't made me so year left seat of a see i made up my mind this is it. i'm going to 20 some some bracing myself with this pleasure to a 5. was like a hoff finished project. a roll cage had a 16 valve engine, but that was, it was like, had 4 wheels at night. doors on it was like everything was stripped out of it, but it was something i could afford. it 1st thing i did not, she was

a sprint the cobra. but nonetheless, i was that was completely saying the thing might this bolt onto my own stay. and that was a great feeling coming in stop period does when i'm starting to struggle. a very struggle with my, my gender identity and i was like in the morning and see myself in the mirror and i just realized, yeah, i don't, i don't even have any connection with the person started blocking anymore at nothing in my life. reading mass, it's me anymore because it's just like, well, what's the point in living tional living see i figured out how it was gonna take my life. and i couldn't like, you know, i was at a point where i, i just couldn't even function. you know, i could barely get through the day and since that breaks down

and i thoughts myself, this is this wrong, i can't do this. and that was january 2012 that i decided to take this. i'm going to transition say 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 might sport, and i just don't know what's going on except me. in that space. charlie's family and friends convinced her not to be something leasing 9 months into her medical transition, which involved hormone replacement therapy and surgery. she had done to early, struck for the 1st time products. it was like

scary thing to imagine his son in my car and then to set my car in the car park just thinking, well, i'd have to do this. if i could just go high, you know, and that's a nice fortunately, 7, right. if my close friends are raced with, came ava, serving a me because, you know, they were like, you clean heart racing next you so we can get see the love. i felt that gesture was a really profound saying, it might have must it impacts impacts if they hadn't done that. i wouldn't come back the next year, 2 years into the transition, charlie began attacking her motorcycle gould with renewed vigor and then you found confidence. things began looking up in hook area. i pens for probably the hardest part of that experience. and i started to find confidence, self belief that i'd never 9 and my whole hines. and i think that had a huge impact. no, it just on racing, but on. so many levels on just how you think of the function

it's like having computed, it's pretty old and slight, and you installed a new operating system and you picked it up and it's like from let's go good, you want to do what you want. okay? that's what it felt like me. i went on so i did it around to differentiate like championship and i one by 3 seconds and i break plus record by 2 seconds. which and who clinton's is. it's like a lot. i mean, i just went there when it's in the sky, have experience and have you want me to surprise me included like where did that come from? 62017 was my last year to clinic. and at the end of that year there was a within the, within the team structure,

there was an opportunity to do an endurance race in the call. i looked at the counting deck. if i did budget to the one rice, i looked sign those ones with that pop. tell me long november 2017. so wow. 3 are in deer and thrice enterprise to type out the loan. of course not the 24 hour cost is to be se 2nd, but nonetheless i never so in my wildest dreams that i can stand on the podium at the moment and know it just not just me, but real me. and i just remember thinking serious, you know, if i can, if i can see that, if i can get this fall, then that's like cuz it's like a sign. it's like, can i have? it's like you could, you could try and you gotta keep going and try and make this happen,

and race and the 24 hours of the month for real. whether i got on the paid him or not, that's another thing. in the slice, i want to help other people find the happiness that i found. and i also want other people to understand the role they can play and facilitating more inclusive environment square. everybody can be that true. well, st itself, when you're brave you, you take risks. sometimes it doesn't great way you want that, but more often than not, in your life, i took a foster on the corner. i can, i can tell you that that corner in foster care contact according fixed it you, you just continually push the boundaries, push your limits of what's comfortable with what, what's chief of pulling, and before long you have to coverage and build the city and build

something very yeah, very real insight. i think 70, i'm pretty surprised. i think stephanie, her chatting was pretty happy because i never imagined that things would be the way down now. so i think i feel like i've had to wait some type of patience and the system that i think sorry. right now is like a good time. so yeah, i think 7 year be would be be pretty like the may a big part of it as the leading and philosophy keeping something is possible. you, you gave it a guy, you give it a 100 percent rather than to opt out of it. so i always said this is impossible, i can't do that. this isn't for me. so you send me flip that around and you think okay, is possible, and i and just prove. and i can do that. what else, connie,

to the way to go, charlie, and stay tuned for more automotive health streams and possibilities on the next episode of the
