Magic Highway


This is a still taken from the 1958 Disney TV show Magic Highway USA that describes how highways will work in the future. The animation is so elegant and striking, I wish our highways looked like the ones depicted in the film, especially the white hanging highway slicing through the Grand Canyon. I love that quite a few of the ideas help you expend minimal amounts of energy, like the parking your car next to your office window, a conveyor belt taking you from a car park to all the various stores in the shopping mall, and the fact you can just punch a destination into the car and it will take you there without having to drive the car. There is also a future car clip from the same show which is a little bit more eccentric.
