#AudiTogether: Koncert solidarnosti v Audijevi tovarni

Preizkušnje so priložnost, da se kot skupnost še bolj povežemo, zato bomo v torek, 14. aprila, iz naše tovarne v Ingolstadtu vsemu svetu poslali pozdrav solidarnosti. Umetniška vodja Audijevih poletnih koncertov, Lisa Batiashvili, bo skupaj z drugimi priznanimi glasbeniki v Audijevem obratu stiskalnic priredila koncert, ki ga bomo prenašali v živo prek spleta. Dogodek je del naše mednarodne kampanje #AudiTogether. V času pandemije koronavirusa smo namenili 5 milijonov evrov neposredne pomoči nacionalnim in mednarodnim humanitarnim organizacijam, ki delujejo v regijah, kjer imamo obrate.

Priznana violinistka in umetniška vodja Audijevih poletnih koncertov je dogodek opisala takole: »Glasba povezuje ljudi po vsem svetu. Iz Audijevega doma bi jim radi poslali sporočilo optimizma in veselja. S koncertom, ki ga bomo iz tako nenavadnega prizorišča digitalno prenašali v živo, želimo odpreti nove perspektive.«

V Audijevem obratu Presswerk (stiskalnica), kjer z glasnim hrupom večtonske stiskalnice proizvajajo različne dele karoserij, bo tokrat slišati ubrane zvoke klasične glasbe. Podobne koncerte smo v letih 2012 in 2015 že organizirali v naši tovarni, tokrat pa bodo glasbeniki sedeli neposredno med stroji – brez odra in brez občinstva. Spremljale jih bodo samo kamere, ki bodo gledalcem omogočile pogled v zakulisje naše proizvodnje.

“We only create things that can become real in some form. The technology has to exist to make the concept feasible.”

Christian Bolognesi, Italdesign spokesman

The Pop.Up Next concept doesn’t herald a flying car per se, but a self-driving, self-flying, fully autonomous, electric-powered taxi. It’s designed to operate on a multi-mode principle. Two passengers sit in a capsule, which, for driving purposes, is attached to a four-wheel ground module that is also electric-powered and fully autonomous. For flight mode, the capsule is autonomously detached from the ground module, then attached to an eight-rotor air module or drone capable of vertical take-off.

»Glasba je v času samoizolacije pravi balzam za dušo. To, da smo fizično ločeni, hkrati pa povezani v doživljanju koncerta, krepi občutek skupnosti. Najlepše se zahvaljujem glasbenikom, ki so ta dogodek omogočili našim zaposlenim, strankam, pa tudi vsem ostalim prijateljem Audija,« pravi Sabine Maaßen, članica uprave za področji organizacije in človeških virov pri skupini Audi AG.

»Zdravje vseh udeležencev bomo ohranjali z varno razdaljo. Na tak način bomo poskrbeli tudi za zdravje zaposlenih, ko se po epidemiji koronavirusa ponovno vrnejo na delovna mesta.«

Vse aktivnosti, urnike in procese smo prilagodili skrbi za zdravje zaposlenih. Audijevo proizvodnjo vozil kakovostnega razreda bomo postopoma zagnali z vrsto varnostnih ukrepov na delovnih mestih.

 

Izvajalci in program

Violinistko Liso Batiashvili, ki živi v Münchnu, bo 14. aprila ob 20. uri spremljal njen mož, François Leleux, priznan oboist in dirigent. Z njima bodo nastopali tudi svetovno znani čelist Maximilian Hornung, njegova partnerka Sarah Christian, koncertna mojstrica Nemške komorne filharmonije iz Bremna in Jano Lisboa, solo violist pri orkestru Münchenske filharmonije. Igrali bodo dela Ludwiga van Beethovna, Johanna Sebastiana Bacha, Georga Fredericka Handla in Wolfganga Amadeusa Mozarta. Program bo povezoval Alexander Mazza.

“The aeronautical-inspired seatsfeature netting that adjusts to each passenger’s shape.”

Nicolas Bussetti, Designer, Italdesign

The concept certainly appears cool and suitably futuristic, both from outside and inside the ultra-minimalist cabin. My details and my ‘journey’ have already been pre-registered on an app on my smartphone and, as I settle into the seat, I’m recognised and welcomed aboard by PIA, my speaking Personal Intelligent Assistant. The seats certainly feel comfortable, and, currently, there’s sufficient space behind them to hold a couple of small bags, although it’s possible the flying taxi will be smaller in size when it reaches production. The ‘dashboard’ in front of me is one large screen that incorporates augmented-reality technology and enables me to highlight icons simply by moving my eyes


By pressing on a small touchpad mounted between the seats, I can then choose the ambient-lighting theme I desire, and the type of music I wish to listen to through the speakers built into the headrests. Naturally, there is plenty of glass area to provide occupants with a fine view as they soar over the city, although the floor below my feet is not transparent – and deliberately so, as Nicolas points out: ‘We wanted to create an open environment that enables passengers to enjoy the experience, but we also wanted to ensure they felt safe and weren’t frightened.’

The journey is the reward

The company has already conducted a flight in public, at Drone Week in Amsterdam last year – but using a 1:4 scale model. The flight module accurately placed a passenger capsule on the ground module, which then drove from the test grounds autonomously. This proved the effectiveness of the Airbus coupling system and its locking and latching functionality. The air module currently rests on legs to make docking easier, but it’s envisaged that such legs would not be required by the time the concept reaches production.

To make the project with full-sized versions viable, more powerful batteries than those that exist today would be required, and Airbus is currently working on developing such technology. Noise is another issue, and reduction of the high-pitched whirring familiar to anyone who has witnessed even a small drone in flight is being sought. Italdesign is working with Audi to develop battery and electric-motor technology for the ground module – an area in which Audi’s engineers have already proven highly competent, as the recent launch of the e-tron SUV testifies. Therefor an Audi engineer is also based with the Italdesign team in Italy.

“It’ll take a while for the drones to arrive in great numbers – maybe by 2030.”

Massimo Martinotti, head of mobility solutions, Italdesign

So, let’s assume that the technology can be developed to make the flying taxi operate safely, all legislative issues can be successfully resolved, and the public is happy not only to travel in such a vehicle but also to live in a city with them flying overhead. How might it all work in practice, and by when might it happen? ‘It’ll take a while for the drones to arrive in great numbers – maybe by 2030,’ explains Massimo. ‘We estimate that there could be 200,000 to 300,000 of them in operation all over the world by then, and several thousand could be deployed in a city like London. We envisage that, to start with, they’d operate in strict air corridors only, perhaps flying from the airport and landing on a tower downtown. But, in the long term, it may be possible to open up the sky and give them more freedom.’


While the current model is being designed to have a short, cross-city range, Massimo surmises that, as technology advances, it may even be possible for longer journeys to be undertaken. Massimo however is convinced the flying taxi will become a reality and is clearly very much looking forward to taking a flight in it. ‘After all,’ he adds with a smile, ‘humankind has always had the dream of taking to the sky, right back to the time of Leonardo da Vinci and his flying machines.’
