Father plans the route to work and mother goes to the shopping center!

Interesting to see what has come to pass and the crazy stuff that hasn’t.

Pretty much none of that happened.

Except highways decentralizing (destroying) our cities.

I have seen something like the parking cylinder in scotland, but all it does is move cars through a canal area.

The thought that we could sustain an infrastructure like that clearly speaks to the optimism of the day. When was this made? I’m guessing early 1960s.

We also have cars that notify us of traffic conditions, birds-eye view maps (GPS) and a few other things they mentioned.

The solar power bit still has hope in the future, and electromagnetic’s are seen in many advanced railway systems. I’d say this guy did alright with some of his guesstimates lol.
