Or should I say, welcome to Wuhan, China.

Let's go.

This is crazy.

The taxi is driving by itself.

There's no one in the seat there.

There's no one there.

Now, I have shown you guys China's insane infrastructure.

Their mega airports, their crazy bridges,

the high speed rail and more. Right.

And so China is at it again.

I'm here to show you China's new

suspended monorail here in Wuhan.

Let's go.

This is the start of the line at Jiufengshan station.

There are totally six stations along this line.

And I'm getting kind of excited now because

this is my first time ever on a monorail.

Right so let's buy the ticket.

They also very conveniently have english language for me.

Right so we buy a ticket here,

and you can also set up facial recognition.

So let's set that up right now.

We're going to get a one way ticket for 30 RMB.

Okay.

And next, okay, you can see me there.

There I am in all my glory.

Right and then, obviously, mobile payment.

We're going to pay on our phone.

We don't have to mess about

with cash and coins like in the west.

That's like, outdated.

So now we're going to head in through security.

Hello, it's this way?

Okay. Wow, look at this.

Okay. Using my face.

And there we go. The doors are open.

I'm free to go inside.

Well, that is crazy.

Oh, my God. Here it is.

Here she comes.

Can see lots of other people excited.

Come and use this monorail.

Some of them from all over China, different provinces.

Wow

And we are away,

now obviously in true chinese style.

Of course, there's no drivers to this train.

It is completely automated. No driver.

As we travel across the line,

you can look out across the wetlands here,

see lots of different kind of wildlife.

And also, you may have noticed

that the floor is actually glass.

Look at that.

I've never seen anything like it.

You can look down through the glass

below the carriage, that is amazing.

But obviously also down there.

If you're a little bit afraid of heights,

then you can go and sit down there.

But fortunately for you guys, I'm not.

So we're going to step on the glass here.

Wow look at that.

Can see lots of families just enjoying

the train and enjoying the sights along the way.

Meanwhile, on American public transport.

Yo!

Yo!

Oh, my God.

Okay, we have arrived at the final station.

And here you can go and check out a museum about the Ming dynasty.

Also, for students, they can get a 70% discount for using this line.

And if you're over the age of 65,

you can get it for free.

Not only is Wuhan's monorail automated,

but you can also get automated taxis.

So let's go check one out now.

I have now ordered my fully automated taxi.

It's surrounded by sensors on the car.

It uses LIDAR, so.

Right, let's stop messing about.

Let's get inside and put in the last

four digits of my phone number.

Oh, now everyone knows my number.

Wow, look at that.

Okay, we're going inside.

Completely automated. Here we go.

Hello, Mr. Driver!

Oh, hang on a minute, there's no one in.

And also, it will not start until you put on your seatbelt.

So that is really quite clever and very safe.

So let's put on our seatbelt and away we go.

So now the screen will come up like this.

And here, you just press start.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Look at the wheel turning.

There's no...There's... No driver.

What the hell?

This is just, I mean, it's really.

It's like something out of a science fiction movie.

I mean, I'm speechless.

I mean, just look, there.

There is no one. This is a taxi.

It's one thing to have, like, automated parking like that,

but I mean,this is on a whole nother level.

This is a fully autonomous taxi!

This is just...

This is the future. Welcome to the future.

Welcome to Wuhan.

And on here you have a little screen,

also has English for me.

Thank you very much.

And you can see the route of your journey.

And then also you can see the road

outside and what the car is seeing.

And what all the senses are picking up outside of the car.

We have music.

You can also watch some video.

You can change the temperature in the car, control the AC.

I mean this is just...it's fantastic.

And sometimes, also when you get in a taxi,

you don't really want to talk to the taxi driver, sometimes.

And maybe you just want your privacy.

So this is great.

I mean, there's no one here apart from me.

How is this possible?

Look at the wheel turning on its own.

Okay, it looks like we have arrived.

It says, please leave the vehicle from the right side.

Thank you very much, Mr. Taxi man.

Mr. Robot taxi.

I very much appreciate that.

That is absolutely insane.

And there he goes, Mr. Robot taxi man.

Off to the next passenger.

I am now at Wuhan's Tianhe International Airport.

And just take a look at this.

This place is absolutely massive.

I mean, if you look over in the distance there,

it just looks like it goes on forever.

I recently just came back from a trip to

the UK, Germany, Finland and Sweden.

And let me tell you,

all of those countries'airports combined together,

they can't even compare to this even.

I mean, there's no comparison between the facilities that they have here.

The size, the services, the architecture.

Uncomparable.

Anyway, unfortunately,

I have ran out of time here in Wuhan.

But I will definitely be coming back again because

I want to show you guys Wuhan's insane metro system.

So maybe that will be next time

anyway, signing off. Signing off.
