The for the electric. Outlet the bad. Rap and the charlies. Allison. That would not run up. So has the carnivorous pandemic killed mobility has it just changed how we want to get around. It i know about some discipline to do i thought so i used to come up with is going to divide thoughts like this notice all times on the do for me to talk to spot. Of course some things will never change like a need for speed but the transport back has cleaned. This car is so much fun to drive so much. People in so still need teams taxis need me to buy the driver hes adapting to the coronavirus challenge. Hes used to dealing with difficult passengers so lets get. Our world has changed. Copas 19 as affected every country in the world. And i am officially declaring a National Emergency personal mobility brings new dangers and may never be the same again is. What does this mean for transport industries how might the future of cars be affected what will our mobility look like in the future. My name is Christoph Johann i have worked as an automobile journalist for several decades i am searching for the Mobility Solutions of tomorrow. In a world with corona virus in it. The pandemic restrictions have had a radical impact on our citys normally busy streets such as here in downtown berlin have become far emptier. Berlins underground rail network is also much emptier with passenger numbers a fraction of normal levels small wonder given the chance of infection here is far greater than in cars or on bikes. I spoke to Professor Bob head of transport research at germanys Aerospace Center for her the shutdown has provided a rare opportunity for new research. Its i really shouldnt say this out loud but its been a really exciting case for us its something we could never simulate. Based on past findings we expect cars and individual vehicles to become more important again individual vehicles includes bicycles especially in the city. Its difficult to say at the moment whether sharing will be able to further expand almost bone consciousness is whats really suffering at the moment is public transport. This is going on. But will the Auto Industry be able to bounce back. And in one form around the world car production lines have ground to a halt. Instead many carmakers are now producing medical supplies here at say out for example theyve developed respirators driven by windshield wiper motors. Meanwhile some romantic aspects of cars are being appreciated once more the good old drive in cinemas for instance such as here in s. F. And this is no ordinary parking lot and bushmills Northern Ireland a Christian Community is gathering at a drive in chapel. A strong castle is our god wrote Martin Luther but these believers also trust the fortress of their car for additional protection better safe than sorry. Did even musk know something we didnt when he presented his cyber truck in late 29000 maybe post corona more people wanted an indestructible car that mathematics would be happy to take in the battle. But even if we dont end up facing a fury road style apocalyptic world its not hard to believe that now more than ever s. U. V. S will gain in popularity cars that are built to last heavy duty indestructible. Cars that give us maximum protection when we venture into the outside world. The last survivors out there. Of course if were going to be seeking more refuge in cars the interior will be even more important in the future when you get into your car you want to have the perfect conditions right. I wanted to talk to a specialist on the future of Automotive Design professor paolo to manelli normally works in cologne germany but he got stuck in lockdown in italy. I decide on the one hand the car is being rediscovered as a means of freedom. I can really only get around with my car on the other hand cars are becoming a safe place i think the idea of automotive protection back to 911 in america. In the year after the twin towers fell sales of s. U. V. S increased by 30 percent. People feel protected in s. U. V. S through such an s. U. V. Scott should say so how will cars look after the pandemic. You can really believe. In these coronavirus times we have been experiencing a lack of social contact act. One longs to be with others but it is forbidden so the hats gloss capsules will come back. They were a big part of car design in the 1950 s. And were also popular in the eightys and ninetys give us in future we may not be able to protect ourselves from other peoples viruses but glass is just as effective as sheet metal and of more social. And it exists. The trend towards innovative interiors was already growing before coronavirus showed up. Car designers are clearly more focused on what they can do with the inside of a vehicle and seem to add the exterior as an afterthought. The interior design though is where we think you will see the biggest amount of change in the next 5 years take that b. M. W. Vision i next purchase ample huge resources have been put into developing an interior that seems to wrap around the passengers like a 2nd skin and offers them all the comforts of home. From the nonsuch in the near future the time you spend in a car interior will become more and more valuable and from a Customer Perspective more and more relevant and. The industry calls it could. Like the cocoon of a caterpillar the interior of the car should surround the passengers and protect care and also entertain them i cant imagine that it would be really great for a vehicle to have also this kind of feeling in it thank you feel anything you feel safe its a little bit like a cuckoo you feel protected also by the surrounding you are just with yourself and whatever you need so if you need to know my g. You can use it but if you dont need it then you can just you can just leave it aside and its heat in. The mercedes vision a b. T. R. Doesnt feel like youre inside a car at all inspired by the blockbuster avatar the a. V. T. R. Features smooth transitions between inside and out in fact the outside world is only an extension of the inside. The audi a me driving car is another vehicle designed to fulfil its passengers every need. While the car takes care of the driving itself the passengers have time to deal with other things. So the krona pandemic might just be the changes that are already on their way. As i head home i go through all the potential impacts the Coronavirus Crisis could have on cars and mobility. First the rise of s. U. V. S is likely to strengthen even more they offer protection and comfort during tough times. Second inside is the new out such. As 3rd glass is the new metal. So maybe things wont be so bad after all. 911. As we saw after 911. 00 the effect of such an event is felt for around half a year or so then things start to return to what we thought of as normal before. Most of the for the current time of course the car is just one Mobility Solutions there are other even more personal ones out there on the wheel. Leaving your apartment feels a bit risky the state says. This bike can be my life saver during the crisis im going to take you to a journey through bilin during corona times and tell you how. Riding my bike through berlin it gives me a sense of freedom and normality at least for short right. I want to know how other cyclists feel about the issue ever try to interview people on a bike not so. Much. The food channel i have a protective mask on all day in my clinic and when i get outside and finally get to take it off its fantastic you know proper cycling and walking in the only thing you can do now without putting yourself at risk because as it comes that its a work of getting from a to b. And at the moment its healthier to say i dont want to go to washington. Lets ask a doctor about the advantages of taking a bite if i were to get sick this is where i get my coronavirus tests from my local doctor squeezes in some time for an interview but outside and inside cycling using the bike with me in the city its good for everybody its good for your movement its its good for. Their physical education and physical exercises for everybody so i think its its a good way to to keep on moving. During those days when Everybody Needs to stay home. Is there any way that i can get infected riding my bike through college. You know as long as you keep the distance a 1. 5 meter to other people theres no risk to get infected. Maybe you should keep a distance profound in you when you come to the traffic light and then theres a lot of bikers so of course you can stop maybe a little bit before if so then you can avoid any risk of. The corona virus is less likely to spread on the pike than on the subway where people are close to each other politicians here in germany have recommended that people biking to work also to leave the subway in less crowded. It never felt so pleasant to ride your bike through berlin. Here from new york as the only quieter than usual and more relaxed if i was on the road at 70 would be even nicer but im still in bed then more proper term. And berlin is now creating more space for cyclists since less cars on the road but the number of bicycles remains high sunburn and districts are implementing more bicycle lanes and making existing ones why do you have to mark you must start when i can see from the old markings how narrow the cycle lane used to be now you have the space and protection you need youre supposed to be one and a half metres apart from other cyclists so that means the wider cycle lanes are strong move an extra lane for bikes a bit. Move. Cycling activists in cities around the globe have been fighting for years for more space in cycling for them the coronavirus and changing mobility also presents an opportunity for you to really see the Positive Side here of the corona crisis one can say yeah i imagine all the time how it would be with less cost like all the cars parked could be just. You could plant flowers all put the chairs off the cafes there could be a playground for everything. You summed up your bike can be a lifesaver to this corona crisis because it not only helps us to keep it distant when we move outside it keeps us fit and for us here in berlin even helps us to see the bright side of the cross. Today ive got something really special for you guys. Already has something really special for us because this is the each drawn as sport break whats special about it well were its a proving ground of all the sports and this car is in a preseason restate. You dont get to drive a car really often that is not yet really finished so lets go. To be fair the car is more than 90 percent finished so its not going to fall apart while driving all wheel drive suspension and technical features will be almost the same when it goes into serious production. There will be some minor tweaks but thats it. Its not a coincidence bed already showing this car youre. Celebrating 40 years of quadro flashback. The name quatro will forever be associated with how these motor sports success in the 1980 s. When it seemed almost every rally race was won by a car with that distinctive audi profile. 4 wheel drive wasnt new but it had been fitted in mass production all rally cars before. Now he continually refined its quatro technology over the decades but its no longer needed with electric motors that sit directly at the axle as with each on. Take a quick look at. 370 kilowatts of power 970 you need. Credible no one needs that much probably so much fun. With such amazing torque you could get the wheels spinning even if pretty well the speeds. At least if you deactivate the e. S. P. Or set it to dynamic mode. It is a price where you go. Ill be getting in the passenger seat and then ill take a spin around the frank for more relevant champion. Stick to the crease. Stick 1980 for world rally championship without the high point of his almost 30 year career he started with saab in his native sweden before joining the german manufacturer just after the quatro was introduced. Overall he raced in more than 120 events winning the rallys of sweden san remo and new zealand among many others he actually trained as a driving instructor before opting out for the wilder side on the rally circuit. Being a true petrol head stick isnt exactly a friend of electric cars so lets see. What do you think if. You. Cannavaro. Ive just changed my mind going to the bit because this car. Just nodded on a fantastic you didnt. Give the software on this car because of. This car is doing. Something wait the current incredible. Taking charge s. Weighs in at around 2. 00 times but you barely notice that while driving. It makes the dash from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour and 4. 5 seconds. So lets quickly wrap it up this car is so much fun to drive so much fun but does anyone really need their car with that much power. No but it helps raising awareness that mobility can be really fun and well. Theres still no official launch date or price tag for the.
