0:00:03.690,0:00:07.691
We are in a race.[br]The race is against time.

0:00:07.691,0:00:10.240
We have to build cities, we need them.

0:00:10.270,0:00:12.810
But we have to make them[br]in a different way.

0:00:12.840,0:00:15.060
We need a wave of innovation,

0:00:15.090,0:00:18.480
not only for our way of life,[br]but also for the planet.

0:00:18.510,0:00:22.380
The consequences would be enormous[br]if we lose this battle.

0:01:04.510,0:01:08.400
The world has right now,[br]close to a billion cars,

0:01:08.400,0:01:11.240
and we might double the number of cars[br]on the planet by 2050.

0:01:11.240,0:01:13.840
We're going to need[br]transportation fuels for those.

0:01:13.870,0:01:15.660
This has kicked off people looking at

0:01:15.690,0:01:19.150
a whole range of other alternatives[br]to petroleum in your tank.

0:01:20.180,0:01:23.810
Sugar cane to ethanol[br]is an incredibly efficient process.

0:01:23.840,0:01:28.760
You get out about seven times the energy you put into growing the sugar cane.

0:01:29.060,0:01:32.090
Imagine that you could have one process

0:01:32.120,0:01:36.570
that could take in sunlight and carbon dioxide,[br]and turn it into fuel,

0:01:36.600,0:01:40.300
and imagine that that didn't involve[br]growing anything at all.

0:01:41.540,0:01:43.750
The cost of traffic is people's time,

0:01:43.750,0:01:44.926
it's obviously money,

0:01:44.926,0:01:46.570
it's fuel wasted.

0:01:46.600,0:01:49.077
It's an emotional toll,[br]it's a frustration.

0:01:49.077,0:01:52.390
If there's technology that would allow me[br]to spend less time in the car,

0:01:52.420,0:01:53.853
and spend more time at home,

0:01:53.853,0:01:55.150
I'd be all for that.

0:01:55.690,0:01:58.254
If you took a satellite picture[br]of the highway,

0:01:58.254,0:02:01.660
you can see that there's[br]actually a lot of open space.

0:02:01.690,0:02:04.840
Maps in the future are going to[br]be able to help people

0:02:04.870,0:02:07.720
get places either more safely,[br]or more efficiently.

0:02:09.180,0:02:11.150
The vehicles will be intelligent.

0:02:11.180,0:02:14.660
We will see completely[br]autonomous driven vehicles.

0:02:14.690,0:02:17.810
Suddenly, mobility becomes[br]a whole other thing.

0:02:18.600,0:02:23.600
The way we've been building cities lately[br]is unsustainable.

0:02:23.630,0:02:26.900
We can't go on building them that way.

0:02:29.300,0:02:30.991
Welcome to Masdar City.

0:02:31.690,0:02:34.810
It's the world's first carbon-neutral city.

0:02:34.810,0:02:38.600
We are driving in the bowels of Masdar City

0:02:38.630,0:02:41.210
in an electric transportation system.

0:02:41.240,0:02:44.030
Slightly unnerving to sit in this[br]for the first time.

0:02:44.060,0:02:45.600
Where are we going?

0:02:45.630,0:02:48.230
The whole scale here is based on[br]the human being,

0:02:48.230,0:02:50.060
it's not based on the motor car.

0:02:50.090,0:02:54.150
One thing that's very encouraging about Masdar, is it does represent[br]

0:02:54.150,0:02:55.570
a whole different value system.

0:02:55.600,0:02:59.150
We're trying to do as much as possible,[br]with as little as possible.

0:02:59.180,0:03:00.540
The payoff is

0:03:00.570,0:03:05.410
"How can everything it's trying to do[br]matter in the rest of the world?"

0:03:07.330,0:03:09.120
Research needs to be done now,

0:03:09.150,0:03:11.630
and by as many people as possible.

0:03:11.660,0:03:12.872
We have a long way to go,

0:03:12.872,0:03:15.510
but I'm confident that we'll get there.
