✡️<<<< they took this future

Syd Mead and others did such a great job at envisioning our future world. Too bad to bring such things to reality takes so much more than imagination, ink and paper. So much money, technical ability, political will, popular agreement, etc. Then it always takes 10 times longer than originally planned and billions of dollars more due to unforeseen issues.

Flying cars are ALWAYS a thing. Not yet though!

People in the 50s: The future looks bright; things will become amazing! People now: The future is bleak, we're all utterly fucked.

Plug-in hybrids like the Toyota RAV4 Prime or EVs with internal combustion range extenders like the upcoming Ramcharger electric pickup truck are the way to go for now. They allow you enough battery range to drive locally in 100% electric mode, but also provide 500 miles or more of range using their internal combustion engines. They will provide the best of both worlds until cheaper higher density batteries are available. Unfortunately these EV/ICE hybrids are not cheap.

I would have added Canoo to the list.

Retro futurism it’s kinda like fallout four fallout three

Daddy the things you point at as the coming future, from cyber trucks, to the electric cars, etc.. are failures. Most everything Musk does is wildly less then what he promised. He’s not even really working toward Mars bases.. just talking about it for PR.

Domino’s pizza just started using jetpacks to deliver pizza!😮😃👍✨💖✨

Wish I could live in such a worldm

transparent aluminum

Dammit, Otis. You dropped the ball!

They’ve secretly had teleportation technology for millennia. Even portable teleporters. Thought I’d just throw that out there.

I would never want a self-driving car. Defeat the purpose, fun, and joy of having a car.

They could make a nuclear train. Bit

why the heck didn't you keep the archive film it is original aspect ratio- morons

Don't believe the Chinese about anything. Everything they make is crap and breaks and falls apart. They also lie often in journals.

We may advance technologically but the Native Americans were more socially advanced. They have always respected the land, animal species, two-spirit transgender people, the mystical in their vision quests. The healing power of herbs rather than synthetic drugs. What good is advanced tech if there’s still war, famine, homelessness, disease, exploitation, abuse, greed, authoritarian oppression, slavery, all of society’s ills? That isn’t true advancement. Especially when the powers that be want to create a technocratic, digital carbon credit, neuralink, hive borg mind, transhuman, singularity, dystopia robbed of any trace left of humanity or nature!

How do the imaginary people in our imaginary future imagine their future? Have you considered that?

An car with knobs and manual gear switching with NO electronic/computer but made with CAD. Make it repearable, not electronic heavy, no monitoring and remote switch of, emp-resistant, not to much plastic.

On Apple-TV there's a whole alternate history series depicting the idea of a space-race which never slowed down nor ended. It's called "For all Mankind"

the painting at 7:46 is just outside Page, Arizona - I was there recently!

What about my car, the Citroen XM? I own a dark metallic green Turbo CT. It’s actually a series 2 but I insisted on adding the asymmetrical grille and single spoke steering wheel of the series 1. To make it extra retrofuturistic I also gave it the ultra aerodynamic flat wheelcaps of the (actually cheaper!) Seduction version. Can’t get much more 80ties retrofuturistic but actually available at the time then that, baby! Suggestion: Why not make a video about Bertone, who also styled the XM. To me their almost architectural house style was the ultimate in futurism at the time. I see it resurfacing quite a bit in recent designs, as for instance the Hyundai Ionic 5 or he Fiat Grande Panda electric. Keep up the good work. 👍

I see us more living virtually. The outside world a desolate wasteland but our consciousness uploaded into dazzling virtual cities and environments beyond our wildest imaginations! Of course we’ll all be living batteries like depicted in the movie The Matrix!😮

We would have it all be accomplished if it wasn't for N people and their dependence on the rest of us and now a total destruction they are committing in our cities

fault is mega corp's and bilionaires who block the future and only drip water parts of it to the public

A master of Practical Futurism. Thanks, Space Chasm, for the exhibition.

Well done. Syd Mead was a genius, and he also designed the Leonov for 2010. His visions are both exquisite and haunting

China invests time and money in making its tourist cities look perfect. The homeless are removed from sight, protesting is banned, and the government invests in keeping the facade polished. Lots of shiny new skyscrapers to maintain as their economy takes a downturn.... In rural China the old folks still scavenge about, wearing their old Mao pajamas, which is only futuristic if you're into Mad Max. So, the answer is: China LOOKS more futuristic for the same reason North Korea looks idyllic, the government built it that way to make a show to foreigners.... :)

Hold on... are you by any chance also a KZfaqr focused on the works of architect John Lautner? I see some overlap in topic...

A joke? that's harsh.

It could have been if corporations like Lockheed Skunks and Boeing and many others released unacknowledged technology to the public. Dr Steven Greer managed to go to Washington and even David Grusch, for serious hearings (with witness protection and everything). History would have been completely different.

This is the future we were promised and worked for in personal lives and careers. It was stolen from us. The only way forward is back to the future.

I believe that cars have no big future in big cities. Bicycles and a very good public transport network make a city more liveable. Look at some car dependable US cities like L.A. or Houston, it's a traffic mess. You always need more and more lanes to keep up. Also in New York (or New Amsterdam) there are too many cars. While (Old) Amsterdam is more and more a future city where you really don't need a car to get around. It is easier by bicycle and public transport system. It's a city made for people, not cars. ;-)

Great video as always! I think one that should of made the list of honourable mentions is the upcoming Caddilac Celestiq, i mean it looks straight outta cyberpunk 2077!

This is great, thanks.

I would think the Audi A2 and the first Series Audi TT look more futuristic than most of these and they are 25 years old now.

The futuristic car that makes my mouth salivate most is the Giugaro Italdesign Aspid car from 1988. ❤

En Argentina mientras esté el peronismo no avanzaremos jamás,al contrario,retrocederemos

I love his vision.

A great look at his art depicting mankind in the future years going to the Moon, Mars and beyond can be found in “Our World In Space” with text by Isaac Asimov. I believe it was published in 1974 and is a great look at us revisiting the Moon in the eighties, and Mars in the 90s and more. One of the pix in this video is actually from that book depicting an underground Moon city. Look for the big lights in a ceiling.

We cant't trust in the production cars today sometimes you are driving your car on the road and suddenly your car doens't work because of bad functuion engine, image if you are flying with your car in the sky and if you detect a problem like this, you will fall in the sky.

I’m happy I got to sit in the futura but at that time it was the 1960s batmobile

I always loved the futurist art movement, especially of the 19t0s and 60s with people like McCall, Berkey and Chesley Bonestelle. The latter did the planetary and matte paintings for the 1950s film- " The War of the Worlds".

I love that he did the art work for Epcot. So he painted paintings for spaceship earth. Horizons concept work also did murals for the air and space museum in D c

9:11 and 9:25 amazing technique and compositions. Wow impressive artist really

2:00 this is so true. I really miss a positive outlook to the future for humanity, similar like Star Trek was once (not this depressing nihilistic nonsense they make nowadays).

Thank you for starting this channel. I'm still waiting for that wheel-shaped space station (instead of the things we got, which just look like complicated floating garbage disposals), and those plump, finned rockets that flew to other solar systems in mere weeks. Your videos are a wistful pleasure.

Maybe the weapons at the concert hall were stun only, in case of a riot.
