From DW Documentary.

The Autobahn has become a symbol associated with Germany’s car industry, engineering expertise, and high-speed travel. For some, the car is more than just a mode of transportation. It’s a cult object that invokes feelings of desire and passion. But in recent years, the role of cars in German society is increasingly debated, reflecting differing views on mobility, sustainability and urban planning.

Documentary filmmaker Jan Tenhaven meets car enthusiasts and acerbic critics: journalist Ulf Poschardt says sports cars are part of high culture, mobility expert Katja Diehl questions the status fetish, designer Adrian van Hooydonk explains the aggressive front design, and VDA President Hildegard Müller defends the car as the "backbone of the economy".
