Two well-known children's TV Shows have brought mobility research at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) closer to a young audience - "Checker Tobi" and "1, 2 oder 3".
MCube In the Bavarian Broadcasting show "Checker Tobi," host Tobi Krell visited the team of the TUM mobility cluster MCube . Together with children, he explored what cities could look like if we rethink mobility. MCube Managing Director Oliver May-Beckmann explains how cities could be made more livable and how to create more space for people on foot and on bicycles - and especially for children playing.
The ZDF show "1, 2 oder 3" also focused on current developments in mobility - with the direct involvement of TUM. Under the motto "on the road by bus and train", MCube showed child-friendly examples of autonomous mobility: these included the autonomous TUM rickshaw prototype , the EDGAR research vehicle, and an insight into the opportunities and limitations of autonomous driving.
Both programs are now available in the ARD, ZDF and KiKa media libraries:
- Checker Tobi - The Road Traffic Check (available until 24.01.2031)
- 1, 2 oder 3 - On the road by bus and train

- MCube - the "Munich Cluster for the Future of Mobility in Metropolitan Regions" - is a future cluster funded by the BMFTR (Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space) and has been in its second funding phase since November 2024. Under the leadership of the Technical University of Munich and together with over 80 partners from science, business, society and administration, we are shaping the mobility of tomorrow - innovative, sustainable and transferable to other regions.
