the high seas was every single connection mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the car repair, co. com maintenance co insurance prices rose to within the last 2 years, the new cars. this was one part of the american dream, but now it's out of reach for many americans. because this country news cars that quintessential to the american lifestyle,

such on the affordable formula. affording a call, the maintenance office and the insurance office has become a major challenge officer for many, many 1000 americans. why is that? we'll find out the americans and the automobiles and america. this is a lot of have a love affair lasting more than 100 youth, especially relations, driven by the name of the culpability. and quite, let's talk about what cars are to america. the land of the free and home of the brave unified and it's appetite for more cause, populating an ever expanding highway and interstate system. we constitute the greatest country in the world. great in resources, and in the vision of all people. great an accomplishment in the as and equally

great in the problem. as for the future of the modern united states of america, he won an automobile because it's the easiest way to explore this great country. this country and its economy built upon the idea of on time growth, fuel fight, limited mobility guarantee to everyone, and for limitless interstate come cars and trucks, all kinds and sizes available and affordable, essential for work and play part of the american lifestyle. if you look back into the early 19 hundreds, it's probably why they created the automobile was to get through the different states, especially when the roads in the interstate network started in indiana, especially the races and rallies. indianapolis. hello, hello from indianapolis and from the indianapolis motor speedway, the trademark racing capitol of the world. the part of the american

dna. motor sports and audition. so you might ask, why are we in indianapolis anyway when we're talking about transportation mobility and the challenges for many americans when it comes to mobility transportation to afford a call. indianapolis is the so called cross rows of america and quite literally because major highways from the united states are really costing in this last few years have been goods to the us. automobile industry, common and factors have been cranking out new vehicles in greater numbers and ex, ever higher prices. certainly, profits weight. however, there are some dark on the horizon, some consumers and businesses in the world's 2nd largest automobile market. for a growing number of americans, the equation it has become this no call, no job,

no american dream, the car repair, call, call maintenance, car insurance prices rose to within the last 2 years. why is that? and how is it all connected? or on the find out the buyers of all ages, income groups and of what ever social status, bleeding money, no matter if they buy a new or used things have gotten. so auto sampling that cars for everybody. mobility for all has become a struggle or almost entirely unattainable for millions. we're at the 2024 new york auto show. staples on the us national auto show circuit . but before we go inside, let's talk about a few important numbers. in 2023, there were 292300000 vehicles registered in the us. those vehicles made for

376000000 gallons of gas use per day. that makes the us the biggest consume of gasoline, had a sign of japan and brush on average. americans drive about about 41 miles a day to work shopping or for a doctor's appointment. that's more than ever before. and when americans go on vacation inside the country, 98 percent of them are doing sort of like the back of the auto show in the yard were meeting with greg morrison automotive journalist and call. and susie's reg is the producer of fish, is bumper to bumper. t b, there's a major cold snap across the d test and the value it's new cost. all brands makes and models sprag has agreed to help us better understand a few things about what is going on at the us. automotive industry with auto shows and with us consumers, i did not know that it was those thoughts or megs,

that's what people because i thought ok, so costs are i know almost like a luxury in many cases. yeah. $4050000.00. better for spot in price. exactly. so is it, is it, when people tell me to an honest i like this, is this for them the opportunity to touch their dream or is it like no, i'm in the, i'm shopping for a car which has to be useful. a economic call, you know, all of that. it has to get good gas months and they do their research. you or is it the touching the candy? it's a little of everything you get chance to touch the candy, so to speak. because you see cars, but you know, there's no way in this life. i'm ever gonna be able to afford it, but you get a chance to put you buttons, seats it. oh, this is nice. and while you may not by that, so i'm scale model. you may be attracted by the brand to go to something this little more affordable, affordable. that sounds good. the problem finding a new and affordable vehicle has become nearly impossible in many cases. the same is true in the market for use. interest rates are astronomical compared to what

they were just a few years. the average cost of the new car, or that's going to substantially in the last 5 to 10 years. the average cost of a new car was about $38000.00 and those 5 years ago. and now is up to $45000.00 since 2020 prices for new cost. 7 average increased by a whopping 31 percent increase for use costs even higher and spends at 40 percent is getting very close to the median income of households in the united states. that growth in, in car price came at a time and very, very low interest rates. those used car in new car prices are enormous. and it's much different thing if you can get 0 percent financing. there's is the 70 percent

financing. $545000.00 cost, almost the medians yearly income into us, and financing the purchase at 70 percent, or even higher, at thousands and interest payments to the final bill. the results of growing number of americans getting to massive dec just to keep up with co payments before in many cases, defaulting in the end, after all iris and most americans finance cost is the 2nd largest expense after the mortgage you have to pay for the house the house, the car college education for the kid goes with 3 big bikes. and if you're financing, you're not financing for 3 years anymore. you're probably financing for 5, sometimes 7 years. that's a lot of time to give you putting monthly payments on. but right, here's more when people are surprised right now or things like insurance, nobody buys the car thinking about repair maintenance costs,

but new cars are becoming more expensive to, to, to fix and insurance is going up. so there's these costs that are sort of surprising people in just one year from 2021 to 2022 insurance costs have gone up by around 14 percent and then the 20 percent by the end of last year. that's a 34 percent combined in just 3 years. the steepest increase since the $0.19 at the same time. the insurance companies report record breaking profits, things to rate increases. and that means a growing number of so called average joes and people who earn an income that's just about lets them get by are getting crushed when it comes to vehicle ownership and guarantee their need for mobility and affordable transportation. those are the folks who are really going to be squeezed in this product, not having access to mobility without access to mobility. you don't have access to employment without access to employment. you cannot take, there is

a public transportation the public transport authority here in indianapolis called in because those guys are trying to really do their best to transport thousands of people who can't afford the cost to places. they have to be that the work or for shopping. and of course also doctors appointments the most importantly to understand that public transportation always in the united states. if we're not talking about new york and the software there or maybe san francisco aren't the premises. there has to challenge and was always challenge public transportation and america. that doesn't roll off the tongue as easy as for example, in public transportation, customer numbers in indianapolis. and not only back to where they were before the

cold, with 19 pandemic has been rising late in 2023 fixed round tried to ship was more than 6 point. 7000000 a 20 percent increase over 2020 to the city is fucking the trend that sees many metropolitan areas in the us traveling with writer numbers. and with funding however, even indianapolis is facing challenges with shifts and transportation needs for more and more people who cannot afford a car, but who must respond to changing demands if they want to get or keep you all well set and then in the, in the microphone there, but then you have the burbs and you have jobs also going and companies going outside of downtowns. this is not just to me that was all over america. so now you have to bring the city full to the jobs outside of the city. that's a challenge, so it is a challenge, but you know, what, thinks a great partner. so can we have been able to do that?

we're able to get people in the urban corps and say out to the burbs to our neighboring counties. whereas the jobs are to the fulfillment centers, good paying jobs. and she works as a home health aide because takes care of senior discount on the clients who need help with the sorts of things like getting dressed, taking minutes and any minor choice around the house. with joining her on a ride to work this morning, you called us in the suburbs of indianapolis, and her client list even filed from any remotely convenient bus line. indianapolis, public transport providers. you never, you don't want to call. i knew that i had a part of why they weren't born, but eventually the toners, the deep and with that, a chance for more or better work has so far remained delusive for the cold, as well as for many others. for them. the best way to get to work is by using what's called a micro trends adopt. so this is

a michael trans work program, and those buses bring people to their jobs, to the doctor or to a pharmacy, to pick up medication. this is for people who don't have transportation that we don't have cars who can afford foster tickets. in 2020 to 5.7 percent of adults select reliable transportation for daily living. that's about 15000000 americans struggling to get from a to be on the database. the control has just released new data and saying that this is with a come becoming a real growing and bigger problem. year after year for people who don't have transportation, they don't go to the doctors, they should say, don't pick up their medication because my co transports, like in indianapolis, they're trying to rectify. su, 468 people. there's place enough space for people in wheelchairs. 1234 spots to

this. so this much, this is the indianapolis council woman lakisha. jackson came up with a program called driven to success pathway, mike from transit jackson for steph guests and supporters, us celebrating its success and 2nd anniversary. if we have data transportation, we had a great public transportation system here, but there gaps in the services. so if we could fill those gaps where we could get right to man. so where we need to go instead of taking several buses or where the buses don't go to for public transportations to employment child care. so our goal for facilities, but we don't have to drag several buses bad the full on the, on the buses. oh, we don't have to take 3 or 4 kids or strollers, on the buses as rainy. that will help what the people in the, in the outer world have to understand about what the reality is. for many, many thousands americans actually when it comes to mobility and transportation. the reality for many people that most people don't understand is many people,

one paycheck from the poor, in a shelter, out on the street, homeless on house. so if it's between transportation and eating, they're going to be able to between transportation and paying the rent on the mortgage, they want to pay the rent of the mortgage. and we address social determinants of health. and transportation is one of the social determinants of health. and this needs transportation is many things, access to public transportation that micro transit options are an ever growing and important part of it. even in the united states, but mobility in discounts, he comes back to one critical component, the call and accessed it. that's why affordability plays such an important role for everybody. affordability is some semi totally defined as exactly being 15 percent of your household income or a consultation costs. and so if you need

to go to work and earn a living or to spend on the earnings, you have to go, somebody's take a break and go to the theater, eat something they slept. right. that's why the future of the economy trimming a lot in all things, transportation and with that, the future of the american lives side, the country, social structure, and of course it's economy. so what will this future look like? what is the fix for america's car affordability? and personal transportation prices last night, the moon was sold right now. on the law. i mean when i saw friends, sure. on the papers come from a place where the

we was it, the silo auto club in indianapolis and mike simmons the on a 1st to started. so i know up scale parking space for even more upscale vehicles as a home simmons, a classic concert was just now run silo as a business. that also functions as a social club for a growing number of other lovers of classic exotic and luxury costs. all equipped with good old internal combustion engines, americans proclaimed ongoing in the revolution has reached silo. and mike said, at least not yet. i have not been as drawn to the electrification of the industry from as a hobbyist or, or really even as a consumer. but i also get the, the fossil fuel argument i get global warming. i, i get why. there are reasons why we need to move away from fossil fuels and that

it's all good. bad news for simmons electric vehicles or eaves soon with a ton of missed driving of the future. the automobile industry says experts that all of the above will change how we transport, how we get around better, faster and foremost cheaper. the us government spending billions furthering the transformation on american road police. however, the number of ease sold into us last year felt behind the expectations on the 1200000 battery operated electric vehicles in just 190000 plugin hybrids sold in 2023. that's just the friction overall musical sites. in comparison, the total of $15500000.00 new vehicles were sold in the us and 2023, roughly 12 percent more. and the previous on top of that used cost $6.00 total. 35.9.

the, the way, the 3 yes, those numbers will change significantly in the next 10 to 15 years. industry experts and policy makers say, but for now you as legacy comic as need be sales of internal combustion engine vehicles at high prices and with the best possible profit margins. here's why. are they going to be coming because they have to be able to make good profits on the internal combustion engine? paypals, because as good profits are needed to be able to supply the much design fee, cash flow that's demanded by the growth is ever hungry. electric vehicles on the side for consumers, for potential call buyers for all people who want need an affordable car to be their choice of transportation. that's bad news. prices for new induced cost will

likely remain high or get even worse for the foreseeable future. the same goes for repair maintenance and insurance costs. real affordable mobility so critical for millions in the us. the non stop light fully believe the free month, which will be the solution to this. and the free markets. fremont association will go by the end of the month as very good to go on. affordable. um they will be at a mindful and extremely low cost, highly affordable vehicle. and they will be a shake out here. oh and consolidation that have to call to be able to make that happen until the affordable mobility for all can be a chief only through subsidies. some experts say they think where we are right now is we're sort of in the discovery of diagnosis speeds of these new i cause driving and we're going to see the policy responses come out over the next few

years. the most direct thing that we could do, and the fastest thing that we could do would be to simply subsidize people being able to draw a monthly check from the government. so all people have to get to work for shopping and keep the doctors appointments a quick fix. why not? and in the future say good bye to individual car ownership entire. all the calls will be electric and self driving, ready to be used to be a government sponsored basic subscription model available anytime, anywhere with a click and yes, there will be enough smart and safe, economical, affordable, and accessible to all people made possible by financial subsidies and incentives from the government. sweet dreams. who knows? however, this will shake out. it's going to be a long way to get well, any, the driving an electric car through

portugal, how well does it work? the country sees itself as an electron mobility by any or i'd like to know what works differently or better here. then for example, in germany, the rental car in opal, monica has a roughly 330 kilometer range. pretty average. the 1st charging station in the evening doesn't work great. the 2nd 1 in the morning is far from the city. center them is pretty slow. the 3rd one is faster. okay, it's another fast charge it, but at least this charging process works very smoothly, and we will gain some more kilometers until we get a real fast charger. after a bump you start, it turns out that fast chargers are widespread and often at supermarkets, one thing i really like, i can pay it all. charging stations with a card or an app spontaneously driving long distances is no problem.

arriving in lisbon, they are already lots of ease on the roads here. people ability seems to be on the right track in portugal. particles. electric street began in 2009. the government set up an agency to ensure a good start. the goal back then sounds straightforward. which ones pretty well go? mean probably the 1st country in the world to set up a legal framework for email ability to the point. it started with a pilot project to a charging network at the national level. with one simple goal and making things as easy as possible for a, the drivers by letting them use every charging point in portugal to the spots because you, me, and the assess bullock is to install and portugal insured competition right from the start operating the charging stations and supplying the electricity are kept separate. this means that electrical power suppliers can also compete finding

a parking space on the street, and there's been almost impossible, but not for any drivers. they get discounted parking cards. this is also meant to promote e mobility at a local level using new sylvia and i have a special sticker for which i made 12 zeros a year. that lets me park in less than the most expensive zone for this is there's a parking card machine at the back. you can see the red zone, the most expensive in the money. that's one of the advantages of an easy savings and 1000 to go here. we have to import, you go. the number of the registrations doubled in 2023. the users association gives a simple explanation for the exponential growth for not stomach kimball coffee with our system, which is based on the standardized bank card. like in charge of any charging station, not a single card. ease of use and competition, not a given, and germany has some catching up to do in this area. victor gomez visited the

country in 2023. was the head will go use the local charging station. this is on low. i had to download 2 different apps for 2 different stations and the price was much higher than the portugal stopped before the plug out. and it was all a bit complicated for you all, all complete causes, despite more subsidies, portugal in general, and lisbon in particular, are not perfect. the navy driver notices this when looking for a free charging station, she couldn't find one in the city center. because i do sampling, kitting always have to have a plan b, cuz the charging station that was free earlier may now be occupied leave because the best are the parking spaces with simple chargers, of course, some ports going by the supervisors. there are some here for a normal charging you man for fast charging over the course, and we know that people will leave again quickly. he means this guy will be happy that unless they were given to portugal is paving the way and what began throughout

the you. in mid april, the drivers can now pay at new charging stations with a credit card and likely more expensive leave that in portugal, the more automotive tales. next time on room, the

most people are going to sue's big business. it is what it is. this week we're going to talk about big influence as making big money. and the question is, do they have a big responsibility to society? i don't think that the person that comes to my mind when i'm going to place these people. so it is your duty, your own civic responsibility to participate in social discourse of the democratic society. the 77 percent in 30 minutes on the w for the prima house under this holland, in northern germany,
