For the Film Review but first heres click. Coventry was once the heart of british automotive manufacturing, dubbed britains motor city. But its moved with the times. Now hosting the Institute For Future Transport and cities at coventry university, playing an important part in the future of autonomous, sustainable and connected transport. For a few years now, weve been told that Driverless Cars are just around the corner. And on this programme, weve taken a few for a spin. But before they can truly become a reality, we need to know that we can trust them just as much, if not more, than a human driver. And if this driverless world comes about, it will be transformative not just for the drivers, but also for the cities, so we may need to rethink some of the basics. Were used to a lot of congestion on our roads, but it seems here, like this model of autonomous vehicles, seems to actually overcome some of that congestion. So we know that people spend a lot of time driving around cities, creating congestion, looking for a parking space. With fully autonomous parking, you need fewer spaces. So thatll reduce the requirement in infrastructure and in cities for the Real Estate needed for parking solutions. The vehicle will literally drive itself into a car park, find its spot, recognise the white lines and pull in and park itself. Clearly, the technology has come a long way, but before our streets can be filled with autonomous vehicles, the companies need to figure out how to train them and we as a Society Need to be confident with the rules and the choices that we allow them to make. Zoe kleinman� s been finding out more. This is what we were promised. I took a ride in this truly driverless car from russia around the streets of Las Vegas last year. It was both terrifying and weirdly underwhelming. Turns out the car was a much more sensible driver than most humans i know. It took me three attempts to pass my Driving Test None of it was my fault, obviously but perhaps i should have come here to cambridge, where the Tech Firm five has developed a sort of Driving School for Driverless Cars. Five runs endless simulations to ensure that driverless Car Tech responds safely to challenges On The Roads. One small scenario has nearly 500,000 possible variations. Like me, our virtual car does not pass every test first time in the simulation. Any driver will tell you its those unusual moments On The Road that you werent expecting that pose the most danger. A kangaroo runs out in front of you. What . Its happened it prompted the Firm Drisk to created the worlds largest virtual library of edge cases. We are creating the first true Driving Test for autonomous vehicles, and the idea behind it is when autonomous vehicles are arriving in the uk, how will the government know that they are safe for Uk Streets . But getting the data to build the Library Hasnt been easy because people dont tend to report near misses. Weve had stories of people driving around roundabouts and seeing somebody take the Wrong Turn and driving along the motorway the wrong way. 0ne individual described an experience of having sheep appearing from nowhere as they were turning around a corner. This driverless car is like a bit of a hive mind. There is a fleet of them currently driving round london, clocking up hours and hours and hours of experience, which they then all use in order to make them better drivers. London based wayve doesnt actually make its own cars. Instead, it builds the brains for others. Were not going to get there by taking technology from one or two decades ago and trying to commercialise it with Brute Force and billions of dollars of capital. Things like Machine Learning this is the technology that is going to power the future. Wayves idea is that its Cars Record theirjourneys, share their data with a central hq and the useful bits feed into its learning and then back out to all of the vehicles with its brains in their boots. Try having a go at the moral machine a Game Set Up by mit scientists to explore how humans think Driverless Cars should react in various scenarios. Warning theyre all horrible. Oh, this isjust awful you saw examples where people were willing to sacrifice poorer people to save richer people, or heavier people to save more athletic people. What i would consider to be immoral, yeah. Fortunately, none of us is in charge of deciding who cars should kill, but thats not whats holding them back. When we think of self driving cars, its easy to forget quite how much we as humans actually do when were driving, so the future of autonomous vehicles not only relies on navigating difficult roads, but also reacting to new situations, and now potentially passing a government Driving Test. And i dont know many humans who pass their test first time. Zoe there. Now, when it comes to the future of transport, sustainability is key and thats notjust on the ground. Up in the skies, the race is on to Decarbonise Aviation. Companies are looking at different ways to be able to make Air Travel more environmentally friendly. And marc cieslak� s been looking at some of the more dramatic solutions. Heres the problem. The environment. We as a species are negatively impacting it in lots of different ways. Aviation contributes to just over 2 of global emissions. Pre pandemic, the number was predicted to rise fast. The problem with aeroplanes are those. And the fuel that they run on pollutes the environment when its made and when its used, so engineers, scientists and aerospace companies are looking at ways of cleaning up the stuff that comes out of those. If were going to allow people to keep on travelling, then were going to have to make aircraft which are far more efficient. And so therell be a real pressure to develop technologies, new shapes of aircraft, new Propulsion Systems that fundamentally reduce the Fuel Burn of aircraft. Here at the university of cambridges whittle laboratory, they specialise in work relating to turbomachinery. There are several projects and technologies being developed here that are considering sustainability and new methods of powering aircraft. Theres a wide variety of different projects under way encompassing different kinds of aircraft, from new engines and components for big commercial airliners to projects like this one testing out the efficiency of distributing lots of electrically powered propellers across an aircrafts wing. So one of the advantages of electric propulsion is that rather than having one or two largejet engines, you could have many smaller electric motors powering the aircraft and they have a very similar efficiency, whether theyre very small or very large, so we might see aircraft with maybe a dozen propellers in front of them and that allows us to design smaller wings and more efficient wings. Solutions like this have potential for smaller, lower range aircraft, but for bigger aeroplanes with longer range, the Look And Design of the outside and inside of these airliners that were all familiar with could change, leading us to designs like this one the blended wing. Concepts like this offer big advantages in terms of Saving Fuel Due to the aircrafts shape, generating large amounts of lift. They also reduce noise as a result of the engines being mounted above the wing. And more recently, there are blended wing concepts exploring hydrogen as a Fuel Source that produces zero harmful emissions. But these radical designs, like the blended wing, come with their own issues. The technology is very important, but its getting the infrastructure to go with that technology which would radically change on the Airport Level as well. It would change the fuel that implies an entire infrastructure to bring that fuel into the airport as well. Theyll also do away with windows for passengers. The Wing Blending into the cabin means you just cant have them. Instead, theres a suggestion that passengers will have virtual screens, which should make up for the lack of a real view. Well, thats where hybrid technologies come in aircraft which look like a conventional airliner with Gas Turbine engines on the wings, but with an additional electric fan behind the tail. This is a concept known as Boundary Layer Ingestion. Now, Boundary Layer Ingestion is a technology which is aimed at taking the flow that forms over the surface of an aircraft, the flow thats on the surface is what usually forms the wake behind an aircraft and causes the drag. The idea we have is to have a fan thats wrapped around the back of the fuselage and so itjust ingests all of this parasitic flow at the back of the aircraft and takes that in and re energises it and turns it into useful thrust. Time is the enemy here, though. Aerospace is traditionally a very conservative industry. Can a significant amount of Research And Development occur in time to address the worlds urgent climate issues . So if were going to Decarbonise Aviation by 2050, then we need to get down to 1980s levels of emissions by 2030. So if youre looking at radically new concepts, you need to be able to work in a hardware rich environment, you need to be able to build and test a lot of things, because many of those ideas are going to fail. Here in bedfordshire, blue bear systems specialise in the future, commercial aircraft will undoubtedly be more environmentally friendly. But we as individuals will also need to address the impact of and the amount of flying that we all make. That is it for the short version of the programme. The full Length Version can be on iplayer and throughout the week you can find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter, bbcclick. Thank you for watching. Twitter, bbcclick. Thank you forwatching. Bye bye. Hello, and welcome to the Film Review with me, anna smith. Im filling in for Mark Kermode to review this weeks releases. So, legend has it, if you look in the mirror and say his name five times, he will appear behind you. Candyman. Anthony. Candyman. Anthony, no. Candyman. Stop stop it. Candyman. Stop it 0k. You better not do that. 0k, 0k. Whispers candyman. You play too much 0w, no, stop yes, the candyman is back. While there have been other sequels, this is framed as a direct sequel to the 1992 horror about a Supernatural Killer with a hook for a hand, who is hunting the Housing Projects of chicagos cabrini green. Fast forward to the present, and the areas being gentrified with Luxury Loft condos. Its a comfortable life for visual artist anthony, played by Yahya Abdul Mateen ii and his gallery director partner, brianna played by teyonah parris. At least until anthony decides that the best way to get artistic inspiration is to invoke said candyman. Lets just say his new exhibition hits the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Say his name. Candyman. Ah if you are looking for scares, then candyman has plenty of suspenseful scenes and a few very gory moments. But its also darkly funny and thought provoking. Expertly directed by nia dacosta, this is co produced and co written byjordan peel, the man behind get out and us. Like those filsm, candyman explores the monstrous aspects
