The car exists as a terminal of the transportation system. The value of mobility is created from the matching of the two. The 1927 movie “Metropolis,” which coincided with the construction of the German Imperial Autobahn that began in the 1910s, depicted a mass of vehicles flooding a futuristic city 100 years after that time. And the GM “Futurama,” which became popular at the 1939 New York World's Fair, depicted a huge diorama of the transportation system connecting mega cities and suburbs. Norman Bel Geddes (1893-1958), the first generation American industrial designer who appears in the video, was a stage designer turned designer who created many futuristic designs, and he also designed the GM Futurama. And his 1940 book “MAGIC MOTORWAYS” was a major driving force in accelerating the development of the nation's highway network. Furthermore, the 1964 New York World's Fair “Futurama 2” created a diorama of the future of mobility on the ground, at the poles, under the sea, and in space. However, times have changed to reflect the image of the future as a dystopia, and in the settings of each decade, such as the films “Blade Runner” 2019, “Akira” 2020, “Blade Runner 2049” 2049, and “Minority Report” 2054, the image of mobility is quite dark and change. And even further into the future, in “The Fifth Element” in 2263, no ground vehicles appeared, and mobility was depicted only as aerocars that traveled in large numbers on the grid layer of mega-cities. However, the sight of a human driving an aero car, even in the 23rd century, is quite disconcerting.

A bit off topic but to have a look at Metropolis with a well fitting electronic soundtrack I recommend the video’s on TH-cam where Synergy / Larry Fast music has been added. He’s one of my favorite electronic composers.
Imagine how sick one would get if a car would be moved like the one in that last scene (Minority Report if I remember correctly). Even Tom Cruise would stop being cool! 😂

クルマは交通システムの端末として存在します。モビリティの価値は両者のマッチングから生み出されます。1927年の映画「メトロポリス」は、1910年代から開始された独帝国アウトバーン建設と同時期であり、当時から100年後の未来都市に溢れる大量のビークルが描かれました。そして、1939年のNY万博で人気を呼んだGM「フューチュラマ」では、メガシティと郊外を結ぶ交通システムが巨大ジオラマとして表現されました。
動画に登場するアメリカの第一世代インダストリアルデザイナー：ノーマン・ベル・ゲデス（Norman Bel Geddes 1893-1958）は、舞台芸術家からデザイナーに転身して未来的なデザインを数多く生み出し、GM「フューチュラマ」も彼が設計しました。そして、1940年の著作「MAGIC MOTORWAYS」が、全米の高速道路網の整備を加速させる大きな牽引力となりました。さらに、1964年のNY万博「フューチュラマ２」は、地上・極地・海底・宇宙でのモビリティの未来像がジオラマで創出されました。しかし、時代はディストピアとしての未来像を映すように変化し、映画「ブレードランナー」2019年、「アキラ」2020年、「ブレードランナー2049」2049年、「マイノリティレポート」2054年の時代設定では、モビリティの様相はかなりダークな雰囲気に変化します。そして更に先の未来、2263年の「フィフスエレメント」では地上走行するクルマは登場せず、メガシティのグリッドレイヤーを行き交うエアロカーのみのモビリティが描かれました。23世紀になっても人間が運転している光景というのは、かなり違和感がありますね。

Thank you for providing useful information.
@@gadgetlabo Hope you like it. 😁

I think the operational image of maglev (magnetic levitation) depicted in the film lacks realistic considerations.
@@gadgetlabo That’s Hollywood for you. As long as it looks good it’s OK,
まず交通系のインフラが画期的に変わらないと今のままでは30年経っても現在とほとんど変わらない感じがしますね？まぁ、私は生きてないでしょうから見届けることは無いと思いますが(>_
現在では軽トラックがアメリカを走っています。
当時、栄華を誇っていたデトロイトの人達は何処迄出来ると思っていたのでしょうか。
当時のメインフレーム型IBMのPCが後発のアップルPCに駆逐されていった姿が重なりますね。燃費や細かい品質レベルでのコスパ…そうしたクルマの基本性能の価値が米国市場の購買者の意識を日本車に向けた結果かもしれません。
