Tonight at Ten - the life and music of David Bowie, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
the rock legend, who has died at the age of 69. | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
His career spanned half a century, leaving an indelible mark on popular | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
Musicians and fans around the world have paid tribute to his artistry, | :00:24. | :00:37. | |
his capacity for reinvention and his originality. | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
In the last 40, 50 years, continually breaking barriers, | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
crossing borders, musically and culturally, it is just incredible. | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
The focus of tributes in Britain was at his birthplace, | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
It was just a great British icon and gentlemen and a legend. I seriously | :01:00. | :01:12. | |
never thought this day was going to,. | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
His final album was released just three days ago, | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
and it seems to foreshadow his own death. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
We'll be looking at David Bowie's life and work, and we'll be | :01:22. | :01:24. | |

Around the world, people have been paying tribute to the iconic | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
rock star David Bowie, who sold 140 million albums | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
in a career that spanned half a century. | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
His family announced overnight that he had died of cancer | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
His work, which also encompassed acting, record producing, | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
art and fashion, left a unique mark on popular culture. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
A remarkable array of musicians, artists and leaders have spoken | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
of their admiration for Bowie and his work. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
We begin with this appraisal by our arts editor, Will Gompertz. | :03:01. | :03:13. | |
Here is a special man, with screwed-up eyes | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
It's David Bowie, it's 1972 and this is his game-changing alter ego, | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
I'm only using rock 'n' roll as a medium. | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
I don't think it had been voiced before then. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
I wanted to be the instigator of new ideas, I wanted to turn | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
people on to new things and perspectives, wanted to be | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
that kind of catalyst. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
# Ground control to Major Tom # Born David Jones and brought up | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
in suburban south London, he restyled himself as David Bowie | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
and in 1969, presented his strange world of alienation and ambiguity, | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
and in 1969, presented his strange world of alienation and sexual | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
ambiguity, misfits, and space oddities. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
The older generation were bemused, the rockers dismissive. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
But teenagers in bedrooms from Devon to Dundee were transfixed, | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
at last here was somebody who understood them. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
People laughed about his crossdressing, but he did it | :04:27. | :04:37. | |
because he wanted to know what it was like. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
He had that clever thing of creating a persona on stage | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
When he had had enough of that person, he could bring another | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
He made plain his artistic modus operandi with Changes. | :04:55. | :05:04. | |
Just going to have to be a different man. | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
It is like looking at an actor's films and taking clippings | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
and saying here he is. | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
That is very different to most rock stars. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
I am not a rock star, I am not in rock 'n' roll. | :05:21. | :05:32. | |
The singer-songwriter and performance artist morphed | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
A number one in America followed, and transatlantic success | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
for this bizarre British export. | :05:46. | :05:55. | |
Some people said you would bite my neck? And what do you think I am | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
like? A working actor. That's right. That's very good! | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
David Bowie was an actor, he started out as a mime artist | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
followed by his various stage personas and in 1976 he took | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
the starring role in this arthouse film. | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
His next stop was Germany, he moved to Berlin where he made | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
a trilogy of critically-acclaimed albums with the producer Brian Eno. | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
# We could be heroes just for one day # | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
social behaviours meant he was often at the forefront of change | :06:36. | :06:52. | |
from raising gender issues to embracing the video age. | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
David Bowie brought something to our culture which had never been there | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
before. To have that kind of longevity, to last 40, 50 years, | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
continually breaking barriers, crossing boundaries, musically and | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
culturally, it is just an incredible thing. None of us, no musicians I | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
know, would be the same person without David Bowie. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
# Put on your red shoes and dance the blues | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
and a new romantic look - Let's Dance was a massive | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
international and commercial success but he wasn't happy. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Artistically and aesthetically it was probably my lowest point. | :07:41. | :07:52. | |
David Bowie had heart surgery in 2004 and retreated from public life. | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
But he continued to make records and continued to do collaborations. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
He released his final album, Blackstar, last week | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
True to form, it was innovative, surprising and in anticipating | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
his own death, visionary. | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
David Bowie was a truly great artist to the very end. | :08:22. | :08:38. | |
David Bowie was born in Brixton in south London, | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
and today, fans have been leaving flowers and candles next to a street | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Similar scenes were witnessed in New York, where Bowie lived, | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
and in Berlin, where he composed some of his most powerful songs, | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
as people described the influence he had had on their lives. | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Our arts correspondent David Sillito has been looking at the fans' | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
tributes, and he joins us now from Brixton. | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
Let me set the scene for you here. David Bowie was born just up the | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
road from here. Tonight in the centre of Brixton, his images | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
projected on the side of the buildings. Behind me, a crowd of | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
thousands, a sea of fans, Ziggy Stardust face paint and, well, you | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
know your David Bowie songs. The atmosphere, celebratory. They have | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
been singing all the songs. But this has also been a day of mourning. | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
# But her friend is nowhere to be seen... | :09:41. | :09:58. | |
# And she's hooked to the silver screen | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
Brixton, his birthplace, Berlin, his creative escape. | :10:10. | :10:31. | |
And his home in recent years, New York. | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
And this, the place made famous by the legendary album cover. | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
For most of us, this is as close as you ever got to David Bowie. | :10:39. | :10:53. | |
For his fans, he was like an alien who had arrived in strange clothes | :10:54. | :11:04. | |
What he did was give people permission to live | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
He probably saved my life, through his lyrics and songs | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
David Bowie has been part of my life since I first met him in 1967 so it | :11:16. | :11:34. | |
feels like a major pit prop has been knocked away. | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
Madonna, Sir Paul McCartney and the man who helped create some | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
He said, "I received an e-mail seven days ago. | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
It ended, 'Thank you for our good times, Brian. | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
I realise now he was saying goodbye." | :11:57. | :12:10. | |
As we've heard, David Bowie's impact on British culture extended far | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
His career, which also encompassed art and fashion, earned him | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
a retrospective show at the Victoria Albert Museum in 2013 which has | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
Mark Easton examines the wide-ranging influence | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
of David Bowie's work on British society and culture. | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
David Bowie provided a changing soundtrack | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
to the formative years of successive generations. | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
But across the decades he was also an advocate for imagination, | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
for contemplation and for confrontation. | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
ARCHIVE NEWS FOOTAGE: A 17-year-old David Jones has just founded | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
The Society for The Prevention of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
In 1964, the boy from south London was interviewed by the BBC, | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
For the last two years we've had comments like, | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
"Darling," and "Can I carry your handbag?" | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
Britain has become far more tolerant of difference. | :13:10. | :13:19. | |
And arguably, the cultural influence of David Bowie provided | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
some of the fuel for that social revolution. | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
A retrospective put together by the V - | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
on show today in Holland - documents Bowie's influence | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
into every corner of cultural space - fashion, digital | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
He famously declared he was gay and always had been and at the time | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
he was pushing a pram and had a wife. | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
He was very provocative, he played with the media. | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
But in presenting that alternative version of masculinity and always | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
being super cool, looking gorgeous, he changed the minds of millions. | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
We are asking you to cut down to the absolute minimum the use | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
In grey, troubled Britain, David Bowie was a colourful | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
A glam rocker, challenging conformity and satirising | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
He gave space to oddity, and made it cool. | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
And I have always just seemed to collect personalities. His energy | :14:25. | :14:38. | |
and artistry prodded Britain towards the global creative powerhouse it | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
has become. He is are role models for this and every generation. He | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
was fearless, he was courageous and he was innovative, he kept on | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
changing. And he has has massive impact on the way this country is | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
seen by the world as the most reactive nation on earth. | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
If Bowie defined what it meant to be young and smart, | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
for many British baby boomers, he was also a companion when it came | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
He never lost his sense of urgency and vitality and creativity | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
Some will wonder what the fuss is about - he was not | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
But when the British team stepped into the Olympic Stadium, | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
it was Bowie who provided the anthem. | :15:30. | :15:30. | |
A man who has changed the way the world sees Britain | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
and Britain sees itself. | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
Mark posed the question on behalf of some people, what is the fuss about? | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
It is about breadth of contribution, isn't it? | :15:51. | :16:04. | |
He was a truly great artist. He had a remarkable ability to make sense | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
of the world for us, his audience, to shine a light in the corner and | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
sate usually be concentrating on that long way before the rest of us. | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
He was talking about gender issues 30 or 40 years ago when it is | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
current now. He redefined, with the Beatles and Bob Dylan and the | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
Rolling Stones what pop could be, he questioned what it was to be a man | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
in the second half of the 20th century. In a way, he was the | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
Picasso of pop that he had this remarkable ability to synthesise all | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
these different ideas from different art forms and hone them into one | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
beautiful form of a song. Very few people can do that. Those songs have | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
become legends already. If you talk to children now, teenagers, look at | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
those pictures from Brixton, it is not old folk like you and me, there | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
are plenty of youngsters dancing along to David Bowie. His | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
contribution and his legend will live much longer than any of us. | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
Thank you. David Cameron has urged junior | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
doctors to call off their planned strike over the controversial | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
new contract. He said that tomorrow's | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
action would cause "real The strike begins across England | :17:19. | :17:19. | |
at eight in the morning, when junior doctors will only | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
provide emergency care. Some 4,000 operations | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
and procedures will be cancelled, as our Health Editor | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
Hugh Pym reports. Henry Jefferson is an anaesthetist | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
at a big hospital. With weekend working a major | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
issue in this dispute, he compiled a video diary of his | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
shifts on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday is a busy day today, | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
lots of consultants here, lots of junior doctors | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
and lots of other health care staff He will be on strike tomorrow, | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
arguing government plans could make their | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
workload unbearable. In its current form, | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
this contract will stretch already demoralised and overstretched junior | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
doctors to a breaking point. Today the Prime Minister urged | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
the doctors to think again We will do everything we can | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
to mitigate its effects, but you can't have a strike | :18:11. | :18:22. | |
of this scale in our NHS without there being some real | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
difficulties for patients. The doctors' strike follows | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
a dispute over a new contract On pay, the government says junior | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
doctors will be the But the British Medical Association | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
says doctors will be worse off than they would have | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
been after three years. On hours, the government says | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
the current contract penalises hospitals which want to increase | :18:43. | :18:44. | |
staffing at weekends. But the BMA says the new contract | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
may increase working Hospitals like Milton Keynes | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
University Hospital have made contingency plans for the junior | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
doctors walk-out which will effect Today it is busy as usual | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
in the outpatients department but tomorrow it will | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
be very different. A number of patients have been | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
told their appointments have been postponed although some will go | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
ahead involving consultants who are not effected | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
by the industrial action. The message is that patients | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
needing urgent care will be Very similar to bank holiday working | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
and so it is a one-off, it's a reduced service but it's not | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
something we would wish to repeat Audrey has lived with excruciating | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
pain for months, waiting It was postponed from | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
December until tomorrow. Then she was told it | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
could be cancelled again because of the strike, | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
a major setback. But today came good | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
news, it will go ahead. Absolutely over the | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
moon, over the moon. Because it is the not knowing | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
that is the horrid part. Doctors in England like Henry | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
will walk out tomorrow but talks will continue in the hope | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
of averting two further planned strikes, one of which is set to hit | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
emergency as well as routine care. An aid convoy carrying | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
a month's supply of food, medicine and winter clothing has | :20:08. | :20:17. | |
finally entered the besieged Syrian town of Madaya as part | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
of an agreement between 40,000 people are trapped in Madaya | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
by a government blockade The UN says it's received credible | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
reports that some people have A second convoy also entered two | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
villages further north, which have been surrounded | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
by rebel forces. Our chief international | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
correspondent Lyse Doucet is in neighbouring Lebanon | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
and has sent this report. Aid finally arrived in Madaya | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
just as darkness fell. Thousands waited all day in the cold | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
at the barrier marking the entrance Now food, blankets, | :20:50. | :20:59. | |
medicine are being unloaded. The same operation is underway | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
in northern Syria in two villages That was the deal in | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
Syria's conflict. Food is used by warring sides | :21:06. | :21:14. | |
as a weapon and civilians Many in Madaya had been | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
living on boiled grass. Look at what we are eating, | :21:19. | :21:30. | |
this woman wails, this cry for help But today, the UN's top aid official | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
in Syria saw how bad At times it was difficult | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
to determine whether what we were seeing was actually | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
fabricated or exaggerated. I am sad to say it is not - | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
these are true stories This has become the face | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
of suffering in Syria. Today's aid will help, | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
but there is only permission for a month of supplies, | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
and no guarantee that more will be able | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
to get in. For some, this was | :22:12. | :22:12. | |
a chance to escape. They fled, complaining | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
of sky-high prices. Rebels are accused of hoarding | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
whatever food there has been. TRANSLATION: One kilo | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
of rice costs us $230. If you have money, you can buy | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
it but if you don't, My son has had a problem | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
with his chest and Today's aid operation means more | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
Syrians won't go hungry, at least for a while, | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
but what is really needed now in Syria is an end to all the sieges | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
across the country. Even war has laws and targeting | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
civilians is a war crime. The chairman of the | :22:50. | :23:01. | |
Environment Agency, Sir Philip Dilley, has | :23:02. | :23:02. | |
resigned following criticism of his handling of the | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
recent flooding crisis. after it emerged he was at his | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
holiday home in Barbados over Christmas while parts of the country | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
suffered severe weather. The Agency had initially said | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
he was "at home with his family". Our Science Editor | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
David Shukman is here. I suppose one of the questions is | :23:16. | :23:24. | |
what accounts for the timing of this announcement? The pressure must have | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
been overwhelming, there were more use paper stories yesterday | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
questioning his account of the holiday in Barbados and there were | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
also MPs, both Conservative and Labour, calling for him to resign on | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
the grounds that while his staff were battling flood he was sunning | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
himself in the Caribbean. Interestingly, Sir Philip himself | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
mounts a robust defence saying he had taken on a part-time three-day | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
week post and never expected to be effectively on call 24 hours a day. | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
Bear in mind this is someone who, before all this blew up, said it | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
would be right for someone in his position to bid it flooded areas. | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
This all comes as the government is launching a major investigation into | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
the state of flood defences across the country. I guess it is in no | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
one's interest for there to be a distraction of a question about | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
whether a key player in all of this went on holiday at the wrong time. | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
Thank you. The Justice Secretary, Michael Gove, | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
is to meet officials from the security firm G4S | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
after it suspended seven members of staff amid allegations | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
of abuse and mistreatment at a young offenders' institution | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
run by the company. The claims were uncovered | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
by the BBC's Panorama programme at the Medway Secure Training | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
Centre in Rochester. Managers of the Southern Health NHS | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
Foundation Trust have faced demands from members of the public | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
for them to resign. An emergency board meeting | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
was called after a report, to investigate hundreds of deaths | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
of people in its care. Relatives of those who died attended | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
the meeting in Southampton and demanded to know why | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
no-one had been sacked. Our Social Affairs Correspondent | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
Michael Buchanan was there. Early this morning, | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
the latest stage in a long, We are in year three, | :25:08. | :25:09. | |
entering the third year, Her son, Connor Sparrowhawk, | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
who had learning disabilities, drowned in a bath in 2013 | :25:16. | :25:24. | |
while in the residential care The family have never | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
received an apology. At a packed emergency | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
board meeting today, Sara and Connor's 16-year-old | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
brother came to demand major changes An official report last month found | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
Southern Health had failed to investigate hundreds | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
of unexpected deaths. There have been many calls | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
for the Chief Executive to resign. I thought it was extremely | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
inappropriate that you would even say that you might have added | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
to our grief as a family when you have definitely | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
piled it on, all of you. We are all, myself personally | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
and all of us, incredibly sorry that the actions and the care | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
allowed Connor to die. We can't imagine how awful | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
the pain is for you, losing your brother, | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
for your mum losing her son. This is the first time I've felt | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
like I've been apologised I'm 16 and this is a room full | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
of adults, you know, it's not easy, I didn't want to do | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
it, I've had to do it The struggle to finally be | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
heard has taken its toll. The Trust told the meeting, however, | :26:28. | :26:38. | |
that no one would resign, as their systems for investigating | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
deaths were improving. Southern Health now has to somehow | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
rebuild public trust and its efforts are not helped by internal | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
documents like this one. It was produced just days | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
after the Health Secretary described what happened here as totally | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
unacceptable and it says the Trust could perhaps have learned lessons | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
from just nine deaths rather than the hundreds in | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
the official report. Monitor, the regulator, | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
will announce later this week what steps it intends to take | :27:10. | :27:11. | |
about the failings of Southern Some families are also | :27:12. | :27:14. | |

News, Southampton. In just a few years' time a fully | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
autonomous Tesla electric car will be a reality, and owners | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
will be able to summon their vehicle That's the prediction of Elon Musk, | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
the man who made his vast fortune developing PayPal and is now | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
investing in car and space travel. Mr Musk, who surrounds | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
himself with futuristic, hi-tech gadgets, has been speaking | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
to our Technology Correspondent I'm driving a Tesla along | :27:39. | :27:40. | |
the freeway in California. I'm now going to put the car | :27:41. | :27:48. | |
into autopilot mode. It's keeping the car | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
at a constant 50 mph, a certain distance, I have five | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
vehicle lengths away from the car in front, but it's | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
also staying in lane. I'm still nervous about this | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
technology so I'm keeping my hands To get this far has meant | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
the electric car maker has lost huge sums but the technology | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
pioneer behind it is a man At Tesla's design studio, | :28:14. | :28:15. | |
most of which was off-limits to our cameras, Elon Musk did | :28:16. | :28:24. | |
give me a glimpse of the future You will be able to summon the car | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
from New York if you are living in LA and it will drive | :28:28. | :28:34. | |
across the country, charge itself at the various locations | :28:35. | :28:36. | |
and eventually come to you. In ten years' time, | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
what will I be driving, You will only drive | :28:41. | :28:42. | |
if you want to drive. Owning a car that is not | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
self-driving in the long term will be like owning a horse, | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
you would own it and use it for sentimental reasons | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
but not for, you know, Even today, the latest Tesla can | :28:57. | :28:58. | |
already change lanes itself. It's done that completely | :28:59. | :29:05. | |
automatically, that is slightly It may be smart but this car | :29:06. | :29:07. | |
will never actually become conscious although Musk does have wider | :29:08. | :29:12. | |
concerns about the advance There are, I think, scenarios | :29:13. | :29:15. | |
where if there is some vast intelligence that either develops | :29:16. | :29:22. | |
a will of its own or is subject to the will of a small number | :29:23. | :29:25. | |
of people, then we could Elon Musk has another business, | :29:26. | :29:28. | |

sustainable transport, ultimately becoming a multi-planet | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
