The year 2000, the year 2000




This is straight from Jalopnik and if you've got a spare 8:47 take a look at what Disney proposed for the future of highways in a George Jetson-esque year 2000. Granted our energy sources are finite and until we get those pesky quirks and kinks sorted out on the nuclear fusion thing, we haven't got a hope in hell of air-conditioning our roads for the desert.
Still, enjoy for the ultra-cool Arts and Architecture type graphics and ponder their predictions. Some are remarkably accurate and others, while in graphic form seem cool are absolutely shocking. Environmental concerns are so real year 2000 and don't make for cool animations but roads through the Acropolis and The Sphinx are no problem.
But for all their futurist fortune telling black magic (Rear-view T.V. and GPS anyone?) they couldn't of predicted just how trick the new Range Rover's dashboard treatment would be.
Take that 1950's animator.

  1. they obviously forgot to mention the virus that wiped out most earthlings, hence the empty roads.
