Magic Highway USA: A retro look at the transportation of tomorrow

In 1958, a TV series called “Disneyland” aired an episode called Magic Highway USA that took a look at some of the exciting new advances to come in modern transportation.

I, of course, wasn’t alive then to watch the show, but seeing the video now makes me realize how forward-thinking Walt Disney and his friends were. The episode above depicts such things as an interstate highway system, hovering cars, pre-fab roads and materials, self-driving cars, GPS-like navigation systems, and “smart roads” that keep the roads clear.

I absolutely love the animation style of these videos. I can watch this kind of stuff all day.
