now let's take a look at intersection assistants the german automobile club developed a special platform with a dummy that three darwin appeared to be a completely normal passenger car if a collision occurs and won't cause any damage the dummy vehicle can be steered down to the centimeter via g.p.s. . unlike the collision avoidance systems that will only slow down and stop vehicles movie with the traffic the intersection assisting keeps an eye on traffic crossing the road the systems are currently only available in the high end classes of for example volvo mercedes and audi. yes in that i don't use discovers that the first three assistant systems work very differently for intersections and the mercedes sports vehicles crossing his path the audi and the oval stop themselves from pulling into on coming or crossing traffic so. much like the collision avoidance systems the new intersections systems use sensors and cameras in combination with a radar to spot vehicles crossing their paths and stop in time. all three systems tested out. fine but they can only hit the brakes of certain parameter

environmental concerns after all are rarely a major factor for car buyers according to a survey by german automobile club eighty eight c. the biggest concern is reliability next to safety followed by spaciousness design and brand name. environmental factors are a distant concern in twenty fourth place. this berlin agency specializes in strategic brand communication it's clear on telling kluge deutsche bank and door to telecom. german consumers are especially loyal to their favorite brands. in a twenty seventeen study they were asked which ground they trusted the most. for automobiles it was volkswagen also considered trustworthy as nastily even though the group was involved in several food scandals textile john c. and i also ranks highly despite operating sweatshop factories in third world countries the market hasn't done scott brown's can enjoy a scandal when the confront them head on clearly and transparently and when they done and when they respond to analysis of the crisis credibly promising to avoid similar situations in the future our confidence can be shaken as long as it doesn't happen again and

just how reliable are they can drivers blindly depend on them we teamed up with the chairman automobile club to test various systems designed to prevent collisions. under us weekly his testing of up with the. city emergency brake that works with a laser sensor up to thirty kilometers per hour a c.s.v. take it with a radar sensor behind its logo and a subaru with a stereo camera behind the windshield that's two cameras able to see three dimensionally. and to the. first we test the systems under normal conditions meaning the cars head straight for a parked gummi vehicle at twenty five to thirty kilometers per hour all the systems work flawlessly. assess the struggle is underway as introduces the first variable a car park next to the gummi vehicle to see if that will confuse the system and if . the car park close by is no problem at all for any of a collision avoidance systems all three handle the situation with. the next factor is a dirty windshield often in winter road salt and dirt obscure the driver's vision of the op to believe based systems are still quite reliable. the v.w. apps ways are

in the same way that the automobile club that you mention. it's obviously something i imagine that you don't admire the fact that women are excluded the fact that they reserve band on a certain type of person or gender whatever it might be is something that you would normally support so why is it different in this case because it's made it made. people who don't have many spaces to express themselves to have for once one space to express themselves without being interrupted without having people doubt of the time that there are exposed to discriminations to choose mockeries even if even sometimes it's something like this time it's just having a couple of paris to speak about you know how it how it used to be a black woman in france and it's something that you can do with someone who is not a black woman but is not a project of geisha in for the for the french a society something that they were they would like to install for ever. i understand that but why ban them why prohibit people from coming you can have that meeting there's no reason for

but i can also tell you all the tests carried out so far by the german automobile club or anyone else of the five cars with the lowest nitrogen oxide emissions. five german cars in the fridge torture parts hard. german comic is posing as white knights a not very persuasive argument that will probably leave customers cold who's going to buy a diesel if there's no guarantee it can be driven anywhere any time the bill for years of sloppy engineering and emissions cheating dwarfs any illicit gains that were made to german and foreign carmakers alike. all right let's dig a little bit deeper into the subject which is a complex one for that i'm now joined by my colleague from the business desk to my lound to see it now you've been covering this topic as we all have been for many many months now let's start with the point of view of the consumer because as we see this decision i do wonder do consumers in germany really want to get rid of diesel cars i think for most consumers things like air quality respiratory health are very important at the end of the day we all have to breathe but how tha
