Automobiliac Video of the Week: Disney's Magic Highway
Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 8:11PM
In 1958, Disney created this fascinating and creative film to showcase what the highways of tomorrow might be like. While some of the infrastructure notions are quite far fetched, a surprising number of the car-centered innovations have actually come to fruition. In the late 1950s, the future must have seemed so boundless with possibility. If only we could recapture that optimism and open-mindedness in today's cynical, pessimistic, and short-sighted age. I want cantilevered skyways!
