as well from us for now to stay with us however that to find out about the future of inability in shift and living in the digital age. and there's always one use you can find on dw, dot com or also our social media platform. i'm monica jones from the team. thanks for watching. the

artificial intelligence that evaluates traffic and can prevent congestion, autonomous lighting vehicles that communicate with each other. it all sounds pretty cool. but to innovations like this really make travel better for us, what is the future of my ability today on ship, the a 150 hours and traffic every year? that's the reality for the average person from london, north chicago, that's almost an entire week stuck in your car, a waiting congestion is

a huge problem and many big cities. but what if you could leave the road behind altogether? a start up from india is developing a flying taxi to to bailey, launch it to the conventional com. in brazil, it's hope the vehicles like this will be on the market by 2026 in a total of a slight mode. this model will carry 6 passengers up to a 100 kilometers in japan. this single seater is taking to this call is in israel. a start up is testing a, a taxi's the medical emergencies, and transporting patients to hospital and jim and company, viola called to wants to ferry people around a mixed use paris olympics. the surgical font society estimates the 700 different designs for electric vertical takeoff and landing across o e. p. tolls from nearly $350.00 companies worldwide

other than helicopters, which often run on kerosene, most flying cars use electric motor. its e v. tolls are also quieter than helicopters, and thus most suited of and areas tend because they don't to meet carbon dioxide them because frankly, to shoot me, the electricity comes from sustainable sources. however, the show for range companies was the wasted. the factories means that most designs can only carry 2 passengers. there are undoubtedly some challenges to as a common to we see flying tax easy. now cities. there are many regulatory and safety questions to unanswered and infrastructure to take off and landing students to be pills. so it might be a while before we can choose the traffic example, bye bye. another mobility revolution is on the cost of

a breakthrough. fully autonomous robo taxis. i'm making an appearance in the streets of san francisco. driverless cars like this one are a common sites here in famously tech friendly, san francisco cameras, radar, and light our technology, continuously scanning the car surroundings. the cops use cloud based most systems to navigate their way through the city. but the technology isn't the perfect cars, don't always wait when they should and often stop when they get confused. blocking traffic. i don't know why accidents have happened. one car crushed into a fire truck in san francisco, sparking protest, especially amongst taxi drivers. they are mad as they stop i unexpectedly, they actually have broken the law many times and we, we see them sing the one way and then go another way, char and juvenile. so it was more convinced for non profit as partners with an

economist, car provider. and for a blind person, no driver means no discrimination. the one of the things i found out with tax season right here, services because i choose to have a guide dog to navigate the world, is they will leave me standing on the side of the street. and they will cancel rides even after they pull up and they see the dog. they don't want to have the dog in their vehicle. whereas here there's no opinion because there's no drivers under the toner. most vehicles can navigate traffic more smoothly than a human being. she says, when you're like good or you know that sudden stop it's made or, you know, you feel people swerving and people honking at you and not being able to see what's going on. i see it's fearful a really i've never had one fear sending in one of these. i just say that it's welcome to the future. so far robo taxi's or something of an experiment. not all people in san francisco want their city to be a test track to,

but it seems that you're here to stay a ton of those vehicles that being tested worldwide from the w as roll out of driverless mini buses in germany to china. us driver's caps, it's a race for supremacy, but drive assistance systems on to welcome everywhere in china, test drive us on the allowed to park in silicon governmental military areas. the cameras incense is getting a little too much of the environment. more than vehicles collect vast amounts of data, all in the name of safety, inconvenience, but can of vehicle know too much about us? is your brand new car collecting information on your 6 lines? if you're in the usa in driving a nissan or a kia, it just might be that's according to the terms and conditions that modern cars are equipped with cameras, tractors and microphones. they can access the phones done. so when it's connected

to the com data is valuable and comp companies know that to. ready the most in the foundation found all $25.00 comprehensive investigation we're collecting farm or dos of unnecessary in bed woods. it was a privacy nightmare. according to the study, 84 percent of companies should personal use. a doctor with 3rd policies 76 percent even profited from us. so if you want to keep your private data to yourself, make sure to use on board apps sparingly, and only linked your smartphone if you really need to. the data gathered by your cock can be useful to us, though it can help us get from a to be faster and more safely. take a look at this project from europe. cities and transport agencies are collecting more traffic data than ever before. with cameras, sensors, and other technologies all being deployed. the theme to optimize

commutes and reduce the number of for used vehicles on the road. via nova is a micro mobility agency, based in paris, specializing and data on scooters and bikes, modes of transports, which reduce congestion emissions. we realize that the close a new mazda of transports we are bringing, get a great benefits. but at the same time, we need a lot of chaos on the streets that the cities uh, with trimming to, to the we recently mobility companies and public transport systems have become compiling vast amounts of raw data. the state has been used by cities as they see fit a lot of industries that they haven't made even longer. they thought that they don't know what to do. we use yet data

unless then collect and aggregate everything into much like these went agencies like via know the, visualize the data. their maps are responsive and interactive. this provides different kinds of anonymized information on residence movements, which is useful for public authorities. these would be able to understand which are we as of their territories, more used in terms of trips, vouchers, or troops arrival ones that we do. so be able to bit understand the need to get them from point a to point b and in that's we job that we'd be able to find the items where there is treat, but their hands are using a certain kind of thing for us to trend. so for instance, easy to buy things, so those things just statements. and then based on this and that is to be

able to plant the leasing belgium's capital. brussels works with data unless to get a better overview of the usage of the scooters on rental bikes and the city. personal so seeing one of your tips, most significant increases insured mobility concepts. data analytics helps personal city planners better understand how mobility operators use public spaces and how best to regulate them. we regulated much higher than before. um, so starting from 2024, there will be less vehicles, less providers, more strict rules in terms of boxes. pacific is working on a sustainable mobility plan, and if all goes well, digital solutions like this will become more common across europe. it's a solid place to stop, but for many in the tech industry, it's

a bit bland. they'd rather conjure up the really big ideas. we spoke to take right up paris marks instead of kind of really mundane things like invest in buses and you know, think about how we distribute street space and maybe make some cycle lanes. it sounds a lot more attractive to say all the cars are going to start driving themselves, and we're going to make this new tunnel system for transportation and we're going to have flying cars. finally, investors media can't get enough of bold, high tech, new transit projects. it's one of the most glaring examples is high for loops, a high speed above ground vacuum cheap, popularized by even mosque in 2013 british billionaire richard branson, owner of virgin, also supported it in 2017 constructions. again, passengers with a traveler 1000 kilometers an hour across the us, india and the middle east. but the closest this came to materializing was a single test reach in just a 160 kilometers now. and the costs were fall, grace,

and then predicted. undeterred by the size above ground, most often to go underground firs to pledge to dig elaborate systems of tunnels. on the cities with 16 persons self driving quotes could zip around with ease. that quickly became a pledge to develop a system of so called skate, which would sweep electric cars across towns that space of up to 200 kilometers. now, what did it end up being built in the end was the lose a one way tunnel for testers to me and a 3 should be a 64 kilometers an hour. well, at least for the exist, it is mainly just and it's an attraction for has was, you know, it's a way to sell teslas. it's not really affecting traffic, it's not really solving transportation problems. it's really, i call it a disney land ride for tesla fans. despite the face of glory projects, the loop is to be expanded to almost 50 kilometers. the projects play to the

imagination and government capital, but kind of solve traffic problems. well, we'll just have to wait and say, so if big tech won't solve our traffic problems, will you ask me? we shouldn't just sit back and wait for flying cars to come save us. it's always best to start small with the realistic ideas that can actually make a difference. otherwise, we could end up waiting. g is for a big tech to become affordable as for me, of it taking the tram home for now. how do you like to travel? do you have good public transport in your neighborhood? that is no. see you soon. by the
