the doctor sounds of talent and inspiring story about surviving music under the swastika stuffs may 25th on dw, the countries drive on the left side of the i'd say well let's find those the this is the all new audi, each one g t prototype a call that is set to come into the market in 2024. so it's still in the early stages of development, and we're among a few lucky wants to get to test drive this right now. welcome to

a journalist from around the world. we're invited to the deserts in oman, to take a look at the current state of the tron development. we decided to bring this current and develop very early development stage, which was this part of type drive here to the, to off the list. how about the car or how's the behavior of the car and how the car fused to evaluate the feedback also drawn in the ceiling. and this is what the test, right, is all about the list with a different aspect that we should take a look at. well, for ability driving dynamics, chassis, steering and many more, all of these can be graded from one to 61 being the best and 6, the worse. then after was audi, we'll take a look at what of we s rated the car and check whether and how they can improve it

. and maybe you can even leave some comments. for example, i heard a strange noise at 80 kilometers an hour. maybe you should take that off. this is taken into account when developing, then you eat drawn g t the, the general driving impression in the heat from g p is very nice. you have a call that is very well suited for long distance trips. it is quite silent then here it is very comfortable. and if you switch to dynamic mode, then it gets a completely different call that will give you almost anything you want in terms of dynamic driving. but since there's always room for improvement, we rated the car as solid to the acceleration is crazy. and also the way it handle it in car is really, really good. a car in that price segment. or you cannot afford all any other comic

and cannot afford to make mistakes and they did definitely not make any mistakes. this call be it's very good despite the fact that it's not yet completely finished . the sound proofing in the interior is good, but also has room for improvement. so we give it another solid to a thing that has all will be in touch team. then you each one g t. if the steering it has been made more direct, that means if you drive into a curve, can need this turning off the steering wheel. that way is t it sporty? a? and i've called also the re a wheel steering adds to that nimble speeding off the call. the precision of the steering is excellence and we give it a one. while the steering feedback is a little too soft. so it only gets but to from what we can already see the new each from g t is again, a real beauty at just kept some features from its predecessor

a thing we can talk about because it's open and you can look at it is the steering wheel is flat at the top and at the bottom to give you that extra spalding, this looks quite nice with the center pause here and the audio logo. busy so in to the, as it is with on you, all the cost looks quite good. and if you can see the buttons here are illuminated . that's because they are partially touch, operated, but not everything is you can use touch operation for sliding, for example, to adjust the volume or to search while the next previous station or the track. but if you want to use one of the, all the functions and that is also true for those, you need to press and then you will hear a clicking sound. so it's not completely touch. just listen to this, this,

this is what you hear, the feedback you get. and then you will be sure that you didn't operate anything you didn't want to. and to be honest, it looks quite nice, even though this is high gloss black, so it's quite susceptible for fingerprints. but the way it looks like they knew each round d t is equipped with active air suspension. that's it can see right here next to me . this is the technology. i know the whole working the car is moving and the idea behind it is if you break for example, the car will lean forward and that way the suspension will work against it. and also while excel or i think it will work against it at the back. and that also works for driving into curves. so drive into right car, the car was normally lean to the left side and the technology can get the car to be straight or even to lean into the curb. and then will of course, make the call more dynamic. the amounts of leveling can be adjusted with the drive

programs and can also be deactivated then that the car will always try to keep itself in level. so at 0. and if you activate those features, it will actively work even more against you were breaking or you accelerating or tried to go fast and that is not exactly for everybody. you can definitely p, p. the difference, the while driving you can choose between different dr mode efficiency come for a dynamic and the also to r s most that you can adjust to your liking. in the standard configuration, the call will always start in comfort. and you can also adjust that, and this is where the active suspension comes into working. so the active curve tilting and the acceleration and braking conference can be activated or the activated in that mode. the active suspension does a fantastic job. so we give it

a perfect one. of course, if you choose the dynamic mode, not only will the car accelerate fasta, but it will also give you some sound feedback on that. of course, it's not a b 8 or anything, but still a quite interesting sound that will help you match what you feel with what you hear . this sound is not for everybody. and as the levers we can only give it a mediocre 3. driving the new audi, each one g t was a real blast. the cars fast the car is nimble. and that despite the fact that it's still in the early development, so you can really feel the adaptive suspends and doing its work. and i'm really excited to see the finished product and maybe who knows, some of my feedback will make it into the final cost. to sum up c, r e tron, v t's active suspension, steering precision,

driving dynamics and operability of the accelerator were top notch with interior acoustics, steering feedback and most other features are running a solid to only the sound detained us. still acceptable. 3 audi has not yet released any of the cars, technical data or price. the more and more people want to fly. the industry measures of this and passenger kilometers, like distances, times people on board. and that adds up to a lot. since 2012 passengers have logged over 5.7 trillion kilometers in the air, and the trend is increasing. only during the pandemic. was there any noticeable decline? but forecasts predict the strong growth by 2041. humans. we left sloan over 20 trillion passenger kilometers. china is going to become um, this is the largest and transport market before the end of this decade. and what

that means for china or line is it is going to be something like $1200000000.00 extra passenger jr. and he's per year to from and within china. in 2014 compared with where we were in 2019 air traffic is growing throughout asia, including in up and coming to india. the, you know, you have 300000000 indians to are now classified as middle class. that is a shock because one of the criteria for being middle class and the global economy means that conceivably, you might fly, maybe even, you know, once every couple of years. that's extraordinary. due to this increasing demand for air travel, airports throughout the country are being modernized or newly built air india. he's

getting itself ready from new uniforms and new connections to order a 470 new boeing and airbus aircraft. the big truck could be a traffic had been going through other people's airlines in the you know, when it's, frankly, we're any good, but that has changed. and here it is. now under new ownership. indigo, a very good airlines is expanding to international routes and all of them are ordering plans and hoping to get them soon. level demand for aircraft is increasing rapidly. airlines are expected to meet almost 41000 more aircraft by 2040 to boeing's engineer buses. water books are already pretty filled up for the next decade or that's also an opportunity for new

competitors. chinese aircraft manufacturers wants to take advantage of this. i know, developing new aircraft they've got fantastic 10 with a pretty good market even though even of growth is slowing. a lot of government resources. the only thing they could do to screw up this formula is to do what they're doing. their strategy towards developing an airline industry. and airliner industry is kind of all wrong. they were demanding technology transfer with no intellectual property protection. the aircraft manufactured by chinese aviation companies are based on outdated western technologies, which has been updated in china. however, this has only been moderately successful so far. so their 1st production jet, the or j 21 was arguably the worst you had ever built as a consequence. and they're taking exactly the same approach with the c 919,

maybe the next time they'll get it right. but there are so many problems with this . the c 919 was tended to be a potential competitor to western manufacturers such as boeing and airbus. it was recently unveiled at this single port international aviation conference via crypt concurrently only be used in mainland china and international approvals has still not been secured. every airline would be delighted to have another manufacturer, especially those in asia. isaac pacific, we think, is going to be the fastest growing region the next 20 years. the population trends in asia suggest a young growing and increasingly wealthy middle class. and it wants to see the world. it promises to be a gigantic growth market for the entire aviation industry. cars, cars, a global phenomenon with millions of unique stories. that's to be in

a german coffin. we need you guys wherever you are. however, up here flickering. passion is our motto, and jo stories our currency. we have phone calls from germany and the craziest place all across to your stories. you ideas come with the question is now flash. if we go next, right to wherever you are sentenced your stories and your crazy car into the let's catch up soon. on ref, the just be 35 percent of the world's population drives in the left side of the road like i did for most of my life in india. of cause this to people are driving on the

right hand side is wrong. why is this on which side of the road has people historically driven? how did the legs of napoleon and hitler play a part in getting people to switch sites with campbells really prevent focused on from making the change. and which side of civil jelly is safe or to drive on? jab builds into the history of list to the rights and wrongs within driving say that's one of the 1st things i needed to come to terms with when i moved the country the 2 years ago. which got me thinking why to some countries drive on the left side of the road and others on the right side who got to decide this. and what did the engine romans have to do with it all? well, let's find those driving side seem pretty fix doing the most if you're in north america drive on the right side of the road by the britain and its former colonies like india focused on australia, new zealand, south africa, hong kong single. the list goes on and drive on the list. and while it seems like

all the respective rules are set in stone, you will be surprised to know that as recently as 2009 countries was still changing the mind. yes, it's 6 pm on september 7th, 2009 in the tiny island nation of some more voice crackled over the video, telling people to stop debbie. he goes wherever they were, it was the country's police ministers. you repeat that to me? yeah, for 5 pc reading people for the country is big switch from the right to the left side of the road, disease and the government warranted to adopt the same driving standards as the islands near this neighbors was fairly a n u villain because it would make importing vehicles into the country, easier for some ones. who would then also have access to cheapest 2nd hand cards? believe i don't know if the transition went smoothly. that would no accidents reported during the switch over which was regulated by the police. the only 0 complication was that the someone's hadn't figured out what to do with their buses,

which still had doors that open on the right hand side. which meant that for the why the to the switch, someone's was stepping off the buses into the middle of the street. something that eventually resulted but long before the people of some more i began to debate which side of the road drive on the engine. romans had already picked sides c, somewhere between inventing concrete and aqueduct did also gone in boots. the very 1st drugs. and along with this, they decided what side of the people ought to be on. and according to them, it was best to keep lift. it turns out to reasons for this. first back in ancient room, people travelled on horseback. since most people are right and dominant feed mount the horses from the left side and they use their right hands to we did. the squads should be made to baffle enemies along the way, which meant it was easier to stick to the left side of the road. and roman chevy of kids would use their lift hands to hold the dns to the horses using that dominant

tonight tends to with best thieves all their rivals on the check. it's also said the poor boniface, the issue. the people edict in 1380 stating all the drums traveling to rome or to stick to the list. although that doesn't appear to be any hard evidence. so please, in fact, be looking good or to for because if you look through it seems to have uncovered evidence to the quantity. at any rate, the 10 is keeping left straight across the entire roman empire, which extended over half of the yard and further defeated. and that's how traffic running on the list became the no documented evidence of left side traffic exists in britain. weighed in the 18th century, the london bridge act required traffic over the age of a team to keep list. and in the 19th century, the highly activating party 5, made driving on the left side of the road nationwide low this into and meant that british colonies around the world at the same stand. so it's driving on the left

side of the road was when and why did people begin to switch over? well, a bad into it has something to do with the resolutions and wanting to break with the past. it speculated the american split switch to using the right side of the road after the war of independence. it was a way of breaking with the colonial past and an attempt to denounce established conventions. but the 1st documented evidence of americans road traffic being us to keep right within the 1792 pennsylvania statute with a ton bike or toward road being moved from lancaster to philadelphia. the statutes required on traffic to keep to the right to fit on bike. but even before this, american traffic could slowly been shifting to the date, thanks to the comments to about what these huge, the uniquely shaped cabbages were often bullied by 24 or 6 horses. in order to control them better, the wagon knew would sit on the view left tossed,

allowing his right hand to do most of the work with the whip. which also meant that keeping the night allowed for better visibility of the road ahead. since the day that would be able to judge oncoming traffic, that would cost to the list. and while people began switching sides and the new was winds of change were blowing across the order to it, speculated that the fin chevy use and had a similar effect on trans as the american board of independence had in the usa in a be debate, which additions defense rejected the keep left the key that had been imposed on them extensively by the church. but there's another purity, the offer to us and drove in cabbages that would keep left forcing the peasants onto the right side of the street after the deadly use and it was safe. so for the ditch to fall in line by switching to the right side of the street, that's avoiding standing up too much and potentially being link sent to the your team. and there's another priority to it has to do with the little man in

a blue jacket who has enrolled this amount of influence in france and your to, to before he saw l by that is it's often said that napoleon himself was left handed. so that's the hand with which he'd, we use his board, keep therefore preferred riding on the right side of the road, which he and thrown forced on the desk of the print empire as his armies march 2 yards and eventually parts of africa and north america. they took the key pride with them. it was finally suspended, north america stands with keeping right. the advent of a motor car given that keeping date had already become the norm in the us. it's no surprise the when the 1st ford motor the droid off, henry ford's assembly line. it had the steering wheels placed on the left, which naturally meant it was easier to drive on the dates simply so the drivers could see better just not to see us up in canada. some provinces drove on the left, but others drove and today, depending on whether they used to be british or french calling in between your to

be able to connect to canada would be us keels interviewed to the decision was made the switch today the day. incidentally, this week, the same side of the little bit on tide you and put back the 2 largest provinces in the country, already used vancouver with velocity in canada to make the switch at 6 pm on the 1st of january, 1922. back in your keeping right was gaining popularity. germany officially adopted driving on that side and 19 pen as he played again, strengthen the order he began to impose. all right, and several of the head of trees like austria, entered the box here hungry, which until then had persisted in driving on the left. finally made the switch in 1941. eventually the full country in continental yard. if the drove on the list was sweden, which brings us to diagnose it, or rather chaslek on logan,

and which translates to right and traffic. so your organization quite the tongue twister and possibly be as complicated the pronounced as it was to execute. in 1967, the swedes decided that a switch to driving on the part of the process with motor this accident fee that will major logistical challenges. because everything from road signs to bus stops needed to be swapped. the operation costs sweden a while being 120000000 swedish going up. that strep's to be 160000000 your earliest to day. and the country was left with the soul plus the buses with doors that opened out on the left side, which the eventually shipped to kenya and focused on speaking of pakistan. it's been suggested that the country also considered switching from driving on the left to the right to be could the colonial passed. unfortunately, at the time a lot of state goods were moved using camels, which had all been changed to walk on the left side of the road. it has been

a ledge. the g training austin is scandalous to go on the right side of the road was to begin ask and so plans for the switch for a band and the but it is the side of the road that's better and safer to drive on and is the left or the right side of the road, the actual right side for 2020 study hypothesize that there was a link between host see if list 10 or write 10 traffic was. and you'd have to do logical factors like which can you prefer. which of your eyes is dominant and which side of the brain you use more? the study, analyze, existing accident quotes to try and find which side of the road is felicia for and was 50 years or so ago. there was some evidence that countries with lift pen traffic supported fuel road accidents. the study eventually didn't deliver, consumes the results. instead it said, because it's put into the right hand and right i dominance driving on the left could possibly be safer. nonetheless, it's certainly not the most popular choice would over. of course the has been other

countries indebted season underwood has switch driving sides over the years. japan drives from the left side of fluid, but after world war to okinawa was on the american control and to switch to driving on the rise. in contrast to the rest of the country. it was only in 1978 and what was called the 7 put the change over that attributed to driving on the left. iceland idea, sierra leone, human in, tana, all speech driving sides at various points in time to. but perhaps the quick youth which has them all happened in myanmar. on 6th december 1917 young myers been still quite boma. switched from driving them to miss side to the day because the country's lead a genuine new winston feed exceeded. but since they don't need driven drive henny drive cars until then they simply move them over to the right side of the road. a practice which continues to be in modern day. me and my possibly the only country

in the world right and drive cause will cecily drive on the right side of the road . unusual to say the least and more automotive tales. next time on the
