The future of transit is hiding in Munich
The streets of Munich are filled with test vehicles from BMW, Mini, but what about Tesla? Are they testing their self-driving autonomous cyber-cab-van-taxi in the Bavarian capital?

Part of my tour trying to find the Strangest Things in Munich, this is up there. It's like an entire car-dependent suburb was transplanted in the middle of Germany. It was a wild experience to explore (and also very pretty). SUBSCRIBE ruclips.net/channel/UCocUmP-yQuRvBDiE8umIMAQ #munich #germany #vlog

The Three Levels of German Beer Stores
You just saved my life with this video, the last part about the breaker. Thank you
still a working persons drink unlike Oz where beers are now a rich persons option
thanks for explaining it to us dum dums.
of course! i can see why Europeans maybe don’t care about AI cyber taxis when they already have high speed trains, trams, buses, subways, bike paths, pedestrian zones…. hmmm now that you mention it, this does make more sense… 🤔
Thats called taking the train or the very fun activity of drunk cycling, which is actually legal up to 1.6 permille.
I thought of exactly this Thank you 😂
is there a word for drunk cycling? i think that’s how the radler was invented…
@@MattSuozzo Not that I know of. And a quick google search found no matching results.
Since Musk went crazy and supported Trump and destroyed Twitter I don't like what Musk stands for anymore and now he stands for Robotaxis 😂
Are self driving taxis really the future of transit? Maybe I have to often "the future ofs" experienced in my life and that makes me sceptic. What happend to "the cars take all our jobs" by those who worked in horse selling and everything around horses and then there came the whole automotive sector with the whole supply chain and horses became a hobby. What happend to "The computer will make everything faster and cheaper" and "the computer will take our jobs" and then there came blue screens, even higher workloads, costs for maintenance and updates and so on and the whole IT-Industry. What happend to the tube? So, 20-something cent per kilometer? Are costs for 24/7 maintenance and support included? What about profit margin (which definetly will rise)? What about the fewer tax paying workers that have no skill for other jobs? Is it really in the interest of a state/country to have a industry (where most companies pay less tax than the average worker) which replaces the workers in the individual transport sector? And ... why taxis? Wouldn't it make more sense to start with self driving busses, trams, subways and trains? Especially vehicles on rails should be much easier to switch to self driving. Might there be a reason why those are not self driving yet?! Just thinking out loud.
hmmm, vehicles on rails? i'm not sure that would work. never seen that before.
there are many metros around the world that are driverless. I think Lille had the first in the 1970s. Also the Skyline at Frankfurt Airport is unmanned and has been around for as long as I can remember.
@@stefan0325 Interesting. Never heard about it. I will look into it. Thanks But the scepticism stands (for now). Those seem to be the exception rather than the standard. And ... my main point is that I don't see (or don't like?) the idea of millions of driverless cars. Company: An accident happend and people got injured and died? Sorry, we are a company, which means no individual can be held responsible. Sure, you can sue us. But if it cost us too much money, we just will file bankrupcy (and start a new company).
Oh, we do have autonomous driving! It's called „Public Transit“! 🤭 Works all across Europe and is pretty much unknown in the US. 😁😂
if those autonomous vehicles ever get wide adoption, that will be the closest thing to public transit that most Americans ever see (or use)
@@MattSuozzo 🙂
... I'm waiting for self driving vehicles .. Waymo is in the streets in commercial usage in a few cities in the west of USA In Munich BMW is still testing, and discussing how German laws and reguations can be fulfilled (or changed) - check some YT videos. All other car producer develope as well somewhere. I guess what German producer are doing, is not to promote a ready level-5-self-driving car but to promote a lot of assistance system for highways, in traffic jam and so on. By this it's easier to get permission to run the cars Tesla Cybervan and Cybercab were just recently announced, the cab for 2027 and I guess, add two more years for delays. For existing self driving busses check also YT. So Tesla's Cybervan is not a new idea. I guess in Germany it will take 10 more years to see a bunch of self driving vehicles. One reason is that we love to drive our (manual transmission) cars 🙂 .. "Freude am Fahren"
I was recently having dinner with a friend (engineer at BMW) and he mentioned that most Germans actually enjoy driving their cars. I will have to investigate this further.
Is it just me or did I spot a few Easter eggs in there? Anyone else notice
i dont know what you are on about 🚲
No meat and veggis but a lots of alcool 😂😂😂😂😂
I bought some Edelstoff...$17.99 for six 11.2oz bottles - it's a treat when I can get it (Total Wine is the only place near me that carries it)
that’s the only place i’ve ever found it. also the Maximator is worth checking out.
@@MattSuozzo I did also pick up a 6-pack of that as well (the only one they had) - my port strike stock-up turned into my hurricane supplies 😁
xD
Simple. Many of us simply don't go there!
Jeri Ryan / 7of9 was born there. I'm 52, and I remember buying a camping trailer from an captain and his family together with my dad (I was 5 at the time). To me it felt like being in a different country, although it was the town of my uncle and aunt.
WHAT?? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?? That is awesome!
The Studentenwohnheim am Biederstein was also build by the Americans after the war. I did like it very much. You can find those american neighborhoods all over Germany at US army bases. Some of them more american than that you showed us.
even more american?? do they have drive-thrus?
Hey matt go to „Geisterbahnhof Olympiapark“ (you can find it on maps) go past the Barrier, normally no Problem, then take the Steps down to the rails! You will have your strange place right there
🙈🤪🤔😂 That elevator music fits perfect. 😁
thanks :)
Until 1998, there were several US Army barracks here in Augsburg and half a dozen or more American-style housing areas, some of them quite large. The barracks themselves were Nazi military buildings that survived the war unscathed. But the residential areas were as American as it gets. Mostly American-style apartment buildings, but also individual houses for the higher ranks, as in your video. As a cab driver, I had almost daily trips between the barracks and the residential areas or certain bars or nightclubs that were mainly frequented by soldiers. We cab drivers didn't particularly like these trips with Americans because, as the cliché goes, they were very short and could have been done on foot in a few minutes. Also, the soldiers were often drunk and quite rude. Some of the residential areas are still in use, and a friend of mine even rented an apartment there after the “Amis” left. So I saw his American-style apartment first hand. We even still have an American-style church, which is now Orthodox, and a chapel that is rotting away and was due to be demolished, but was declared a listed building last year. The barracks, on the other hand, have been demolished and new, very modern residential areas with beautiful parks have been built over the years - and still are! Oh, and many young mixed-race black Germans are also still a living legacy from the time when the “Yanks” were in Augsburg, like my apartment neighbor Alicia, hehe.
That provides a lot of context, and still strange to think these types of 'American style' neighborhoods still exist all over Germany. And you are quite correct: Americans are not used to walking, that activity is reserved exclusively for exercise, not transportation.
@@MattSuozzo Tja, occupiers have always left buildings and parts of their culture behind, like the Moors in Spain. The Spanish have the Alhambra and we a rotting American chapel. You can't choose your occupier I guess. 🤪
@@hape3862 i suppose not xD
you offended my soul when you said brezin to a BREZEL and that it tastes like a cartbord box. Actually in baveria and badem würtemberg there are by far the best onces you can buy
I was so surprised to find good Brezn at Biergartens during the summer. My friend wanted to know why I was surprised, so I mentioned that anytime I got Brezn at Wiesn (or god forbid Hofbräuhaus) they were so dry and bland it made me ashamed for their bakers. Honestly even the ones at Rewe (mit Käse natürlich) are pretty decent. Just avoid at Wiesn :)
Forst = economically used forest So a "Forstwirtschaft" (forestry) is kinda like a "Landwirtschaft" (farm) but with trees instead of food grown on land/soil, Here the "Forstwirt" instead of the "Landwirt" (farmer) is the one who takes care of the forest, plants trees or other forest plants which are necessary and economically reasonable and who cuts trees down to sell the wood. Here the similarities of the germanic languages are shown once more, it seems.
So Wald = wild forest, Forst = managed forest? This would explain the straight roads and logging operations :)
Matt, you were riding through the U.S Military Housing area. l live there from 1972-73 while my father was fighting the war in Vietnam. Check out the street names... Cincinnatistrasse, Lincolnsstrasse, Pennstrasse.
Locals like myself still know it as "Ami-Siedlung" to this day. I grew up just south of it, and I still remember the yearly German-American "Little Octoberfest" organised by the US Military. Oh, and that's also how I learned English - watching Johnny Carson's late night show on AFN TV (with a slightly modified TV set) almost every night. :)
Do you remember what it was like living there? Like a little America in Munich? I assume they were all for families of service members or did any German military live there? Thanks :)
@@MattSuozzo Matt, I don't remember much, I was 5 years old. We were living with my Aunt and Uncle on Belgrade Strasse, when we got housing in Munich. It was mostly American families, it was an open housing area, not a gated base as most US bases are now. The buildings were only occupied by the US Military and their families. It was a little America, we had a PX, a Commissary, Movie Theater, Church, Schools and Sports Complex. I did return to Munich while my father was stationed in Bad Tolz from 1977-80 to attend Munich American High School, before my father was transferred to Berlin 1980-83.
@@MattSuozzo the McGraw Graben Autobahn connection goes through the old military base en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGraw_Kaserne
Usually, countries/regions which have a US military base nearby have neighborhoods specifically targetted at US military personnel, some are even entirely built for that purpose. I get the feeling you were in one of such areas. I remember visiting a similar place decades ago in the north of Madrid; it was shocking. Not only were streets and houses "American", so were the shops and comunal areas. Heck, even the police cars were American. And this was on off-base area, not attached to (or even close for that matter) to the existing US base to the East of Madrid.
oh that is crazy, now i want to check that out
We had " Little America (USA) " in our " twin" town on the other side of the River Danube which - thanks to Napoleon - is in Bavaria whilst my part of the " twin" is in Baden-Württemberg . To cut a long story short the towns are Ulm (BW) and Neu-Ulm ( Bavaria). As a young girl I was invited to an American family living there for Thanksgiving due to our girl guides Brownies connection. This part of Neu-Ulm are the Wiley Barracks and they gave me my first impression what parts of the USA might look like including a cinema and a water tower (and Pershing 2 rockets with nuclear heads which made me join the human chain from Ulm to Stuttgart as a form of protest in the 1980s.😜) Thanks to the unification of Germany the barracks " fell into the hands of the enemy" so to say and are now a very well kept suburb of Neu-Ulm where some of the typical American "sights" are kept while others were either demolished or upgraded to German standards. 😁 As a thank you to our American protectors my family invited one of the soldiers stationed there each year and who couldn't make it home for Christmas which helped to brush up our knowledge of English and was fun !
thank you for sharing. you also made me realize water towers are just part of the American landscape. I haven’t seen any here yet…
It looks german to me
I did notice a disturbing lack of American flags
So what's the name of that neighborhood?
Siedlung am Perlacher Forst
Are you aware that your shirts match the tablecloths?
Bavarian camo
Big mistake. In bavaria you don't use industrial beverages like sprite for Radler. You use local citron limonade.
As a woman who lives about 10 minutes away: you can even go alone, no male or female friends necessary for your safety. But I would recommend saving the number of German emergency cervices (as I would in any country you visit) and have a quick read up on safety measures during Oktoberfest.
already in the intro you do it wrong, beer has to come directly from the Refrigerator.
Boy am I getting old, (now in my 50s) who wants to drink that much beer at 10am in the morning? 3:17. Are there plenty of bathrooms there? Because that’s where I’d be probably spending all my time, seen the size of those mugs. (thank you enlarged prostate)
Getting two people to sit (trick), it helps the American guy is “outta sight” (hidden) when the girl asks. We did that same track while hitchhiking in Martha’s Vineyard I would hide in the bushes while my girlfriend would be going hitchhiking.
That‘s one of the Bavarian ways to survive Oktoberfest. The German way is: Not to go there.
xD
a lot better, however, I dont think you need the hat. Further, you really need to work on the shoes!
next year
The production quality is actually insane for a channel this small. Mad respect for putting so much work into this I see you!
thanks man :)
Lovely & sad. What does not kill us makes us stronger.
nice, you both look really good!
thanks :)
Dude, upgrade works well!
danke!
The key is „a Zwiwa“ 😂
Fesch samma Herr Matt. 😁 Looking good Matt (just in case your knowledge of Bavarian is still a bit lacking ).
Hi @mattsuozzo if you want to do a video about Erding at the end of S2 hit me up. I'm a a Canadian that has lived here for 20 years. I can show you around. I have learned a lot about the history of the area and can give you some content.
Good job with the fit, but i am not sure about the hairstyle;) Really like your videos, good job. Take care.
thanks xD
Tracht is fashion like anywhere else. This year was beige and light browns. A few years ago it was red and silver. It's fun. I'm a Canadian living near Minga for 20 years and I love the traditional clothing . My bayriche wife says when she was younger no one would wear tracht but now kids wear it and love it. A full outfit will cost you about 300 euros but the lederhosen and shoes will last 30 years. You just upgrade the shirts and socks every year. I'm fond of the Austrian stuff with edelweiss buttons.
Here in rural bayern the standard ransom for a maypole is a pig and some number of crates of beer. Also the guards are often women wearing night dresses who drink copious amounts of schnapps while guarding the yet to be erected may pole.
I've never found an alcoholfrei beer that doesn't taste like a tin can. I heard about this one last week and will try it as it is time for my annual beer break. I live in Erding so I'm not far from Minga.
Als Münchner kann ich dir sagen: oa Hendl, drei Maß und Achterbahn! Es gibt auf der Wiesn mehr als nur Bierzelt 😮
They export the Helles now!!!! I just picked some up a couple weeks ago in downtown LA in a 6 pack.
Another hint: In Bavaria, never pronounce Maß like "Maas". It's "Mass" with a short "a".
yeez mate, get a BUTTERbrezn ... of course a pure Brezn will be dry as heck... though I wouldn´t say it tastes like cardboard at all.. so, please give it a try, maybe you like it?

Munich local here: never ask the guy sitting there. Ask the waitress. She makes the guy let you sit there (if it's not a reserved table), because she wants business instead of empty seats. And there is no "i'm holding seats for my seven friends" at Oktoberfest 😅
