6:30 am
the the on the left side of the i'd say, well let's find those. the base is the all new audi, each one g t prototype, a call that is set to come on to the market in 2024. so it's still in the early
6:31 am
stages of development, and we're among a few lucky wants to get the test drive test right now. welcome to read. journalists from around the world were 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 prototype drive here to, to off the list. how about the chiral? how's the behavior of the car and how the car fugues to evaluate the feet that goes to do under the seal? and this is what the test drive 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 worst. and then afterwards, already we'll take
6:32 am
a look at what we have 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 check that all of this is taken into account of when developing the new e strong g t for general driving impression in the 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 facts, since there's always room for improvement, we rated the car a solid to the acceleration is crazy. and also the way it handle its inc. curtis is
6:33 am
really, really good. a car in that price segment, or he cannot afford all any other comment. he 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 sounds like to think 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're driving do occur can need this turning off the steering wheel . that way. is it sporty? a and of course 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 a to from what we can already see the new,
6:34 am
the frown z t is again, a real beauty and it's kept some features, crime, it's 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 audi logo in to the as it is with on you, all the cost looks quite good. and if you can see the buttons here illuminated, that's because they are partially touch, operated, but not everything is you can use touch operations 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 it 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. and
6:35 am
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 end . to be honest, it looks quite nice, even though this is high gloss black, so it's quite susceptible to fall fingerprints. but the way it looks like they knew each round g t is equipped with active air suspension as you 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 accelerating 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,
6:36 am
make the cars more dynamic. the amount 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're breaking or you accelerating far. i just need to go fast and that is not exactly why everybody's, 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 are as low as 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
6:37 am
acceleration and breaking 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 to be 8 or anything, but still a quite interesting sound that will help you match what you feel with what you see here. this sound is not for everybody, and as the lovers, 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 you knows some of my feedback will make it into the final cost. to sum up c r e tron, g t's active suspension,
6:38 am
steering precision, driving dynamics and operability of the accelerator where the top notch with interior acoustics, steering feedback, and most other features, learning a solid to only the sound detained us, still acceptable. 3 audi has not yet released any of the cars, technical data or pricing. the more and more people want to fly. the industry measures of this in 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 will that flown over 20
6:39 am
trillion passenger kilometers? china is going to become 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 these per year to from and within china. in 2014 compared with where we were in 29 saying air traffic is growing throughout asia, including in up and coming to india. the, you know, usually 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 is
6:40 am
getting itself ready from new uniforms and new connections to order a 470 new boeing and airbus aircraft. the big truck in the traffic had been going through other people's airlines in the you know more, it's frankly, we're any good, but that has changed. and here india is now under new ownership. indigo. very good . everyone is expanding to international routes and all of them are ordering plans and hoping to get them soon. mobile demand for aircraft is increasing rapidly. airlines are expected to meet almost 41000 more aircraft by 2040 to boeing's engineer buses. board of books are already pretty filled up for the next
6:41 am
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 to it's a pretty good market even if the, 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
6:42 am
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 ending increasingly wealthy middle class. and it wants to see the world. it promises to be a try again to growth bucket for the entire aviation industry.
6:43 am
cars, cars, a global phenomenon with millions of unique stories. that's to be in a german coffin. we need to guys wherever you are. however, up here, flex fashion is our module and jo stories, our currency. we have found cars from germany in the craziest place. all across to your stories you ideas come with the question is now flash next ride to wherever your sentence your stories and your crazy car into the let's catch up soon. address the just be 35 percent of the world's population drives in the left side of the road
6:44 am
like i did for most of my life in india. of course, these 2 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 for making the change. and which side of civil jelly is safe to drive on? jab builds into the history of list tonights and drones within driving say that's one of the 1st things i needed to come to terms with when i moved countries a few 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. tried seem pretty fix, don't 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 history on new zealand,
6:45 am
south africa, hong kong single, the list goes on to 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 were 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, who goes wherever they will. it was the country's police. mr. you repeat it to you? yeah, for 5 pc reading people for the country is big switch from the right to the left side of the road. the reason the government warranted to adopt the same driving standards as the islands near this neighbors was freely a n u z lynn, 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, they would no accidents reported doing the switch over which was regulated by the
6:46 am
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 opened on the right hand side. which meant that for the why last to the switch to moines 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 to drive on the engine romans had already picked sides. c, somewhere between inventing concrete and aqueduct did also gone in boots. the very 1st druids, and along with this they decided which side of the road people ought to be on. and according to them, it was best to keep lift. it turns out that were 2 reasons for this. first, back in ancient room, people travelled on horseback, since most people are right and dominant said mount the horses from the left side, and they'd use their right hands to we did this. words should be made to baffle enemies along the way. which meant it was easier to stick to the left side of the
6:47 am
road and, and chad you kids would use their lift tends to hold the dns to the horses using that domain in july tends to with best deeds, all their rifles on the check. it's also said the poor boniface, the issue, the people edicts in $1380.00 stating all the drums traveling to rome or to stick to the left. although there doesn't appear to be any hard evidence of please. in fact, peter can get or put up a book called if you look through it seems to have uncovered evidence to the quantity. at any rate, the trend of keeping lift fed across the entire roman empire, which extended over half of the yard and further to feed. and that's how traffic running on the list became the norm. documented evidence of left side traffic exists in britain wade and the 18th century. the london bridge act required traffic over the teams to keep list. and in the 19th century, the hi we activated in 35 me driving on the left side of the road. nationwide. low
6:48 am
this into and meant the british colonies of down the way to the same standards. so it's driving on the left side of the road was the knob when and why did people begin to switch over? well, a bad into it has something to do with the resolutions and one thing to break with the past. it speculated that the americans 1st switch to using the right side of the road after there was independence. it was a way of breaking with the colonial past and an attempt to denounce established conventions, but the 1st documented evidence of american road traffic being asked to keep right within the 1792 pennsylvania statute. with a ton psych or toy road being moved from lancaster to philadelphia, the statute required on traffic to keep to the right to fit the bike. but even before this, american traffic could slowly been shifting to the day, thanks to the conestoga wagons. these huge, the uniquely shaped cabbages were off employed by 24, or 6 horses,
6:49 am
in order to control them better. the wag you would sit under your left pause, allowing his right hand to do most of the work with the whip, which also meant that keeping the night aloud for better visibility of february the head since the day that would be able to judge oncoming traffic. that would cost to the list and well people began switching sides and the new was winds of change were blowing across the order to it speculated the defend chevy use. and had a similar effect on trans as the american board of independence had in the usa in a be to break with traditions, defense rejected. the keep left the key that had been imposed on them extensively by the church. but there's another purity, the apple plastic drove in cabbages that would keep left forcing the peasants onto the right side of the street, off to the us and it was safer 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 lynched us into the gear team. and there's another priority to it has to
6:50 am
do with the little man in a blue jacket who had enormous amounts of influence in france and your to do 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 used his sword, therefore, preferred riding on the right side of the road, which he into and forced on the rest of the french empire. as his armies march toyota, and eventually parts of africa and north america, they took the key pride with them was finally suspended north america, sconces keeping right. the advent of the lord. okay. given that keeping date had already become the norm in the us. it's no surprise the when the 1st full model, 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,
6:51 am
some provinces drove on the left, but other to a one day, depending on whether they used to be british. all french calling in between routes will be to connect to canada. would be us keels interviewed to the decision was made the switch today the day. incidentally, this was the same side of the door a bit on time. you and put back the 2 largest provinces in the country already used . vancouver was the last city in canada to make the switch and fix them on the 1st of january, 1922. back in your keeping right was gaining popularity. germany officially adopted driving on that site 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,
6:52 am
which brings us to diagnose it, or rather chaslek on logan in which translates to diet and shaft, fix your organization. quite the tongue twister and possibly as complicated the pronounced as it was to execute. in 1967, the swedes decided that a switch to driving on the right side of the road would benefit them since it would even cross border traffic complications within notice neighbors. finland, n or we, since the country already use left hand drive cars, which could lead through quite sensibly drive on the day side of the road. and since the number of cars was expected to substantially increase over the next 2 years, they settled on the date for the switch. sweden had an existence campaign to make sure the drivers wouldn't forget that they were meant to swap sides. the dog and h logo was in blazing, doing everything from bikini bottoms to wife's friends. and so there was even a contest with pop band competed to make a song about the switch, the winning mt,
6:53 am
a song called to the to who the swenson. ok to spend the night swenson performed by the tales. does the bottom part of the process with motor this accident fee that will major logistically challenges? because everything from road signs to bus stops needed to be swapped. the operation costs sweden, a whopping 120000000 swedish krona. that straps 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,
6:54 am
which had all been changed to walk on the left side of the road. it has been a ledge. the g training obstinate can move 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 is there 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 hosts if left tend or right hand traffic was. and you don't think the 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 consumers of 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,
6:55 am
it's certainly not the most popular choice, lloyd over because they have in other countries and data trees and underwood, switch driving sides over the years. japan drives in the left side of fluid, but after world war to okinawa was on the american control and to switch to driving on the right. in contrast to the rest of the country, it was only in 1978 and what was called the 7 put the change over that that you voted to driving on the left. iceland ideas here earlier in yemen and kinda all switch driving size. the various points in time to but perhaps the quote queue switches them all happened in march. on 6th december 1917 in mars. been still quite boma switched from driving them to mit side to the day because the country's leader ginger may win since you've exceeded but since they don't need driven right 100 cars until then they simply move them over to the right side of the road. a practice which continues to be in more than damien. my. possibly the
