Autopilot engaged

Video Description:

An excerpt from the 1958 Disneyland TV Show episode entitled Magic Highway USA. In this last part of the show, an exploration into possible future Transportation technologies is made. It's hard to believe how little we've accomplished on this front since 1958, and how limited the scope for imagining such future technologies has become. Witness an artifact from a time where the future was greeted with optimism. Note the striking animation style here, achieved with fairly limited animation and spectacular layouts

Its pretty interesting to see how people envisioned the future in 1958. While we do have some of the things outlined in the video, the technology is nowhere near that in the video. We do have rear view cameras, GPS, highways, expressways...

I can picture some guy who watched this as a child stating "D*it, where's my hovering auto-piloted car?"
