At the end of a 1958 Disneyland episode "Magic Highway USA," Disney introduces a segment that he describes as "a realistic look at the road ahead and what tomorrow's motorists can expect in the years to come."
In the segment, the narrator describes futuristic concepts like tube travel and autonomous vehicles.
While the ideas probably sounded farfetched at the time, a lot of Disney's predictions actually came true or are on their way to becoming a reality.
