Magic Highway, U.S.A. : Disney envisions the future of transportation in 1958

By squirrelbait - May 11, 2007

in Tech

In 1958, Disneyland TV aired an animation that rationalized the future of transportation--they called it "Magic Highway, U.S.A." The video takes you on a typical ride with the quintessential American family (we assume they've already installed the Kitchen of the Future), where "Father chooses the route in advance on a push-button selector" and "electronics take over complete control." Oh, and don't forget that "with no driving responsibility, the family relaxes together. En route business conferences are conducted by television." And to this day, Ford still has yet to come out with that glass bubble rocket ship-shaped car...for shame.
