“Speed, safety and comfort will be the keynotes of tomorrow’s highways.”
The following Disney cartoon from 1958 explores the car, highway, and mass transit systems of tomorrow and their effects on urban development and everyday life.
Funny how despite the leaps and bounds predicted in the advancement of technology, none seem to have been predicted in terms of gender roles… but amusing nevertheless! :)

Fifty years since and all we’ve got are “synchronized scanning maps,” escalators, and moving sidewalks (although mostly confined to airports)? Where’s my “magic carpet” they promised?? : )
