One of my favorute "retrofuturistic" videos, in which a family of four zooms along a Jetson-style highway in a self-driving car. Not only that. . .a guy sitting in a tower tells them where to go and what to do! He recommends a "honey" from some cheap hotel, proclaiming "automatic sleep-control" and "predigested food cooked by infrared!" Yes, in 1956 this looked like a good thing. No mention of some crazed autistic zillionaire threatening world domination. It all looked great, with no drawbacks, of course.
