I'm giving this view a thumbs down, just because the thumbnail of the 1938 Dymaxion is MISLEADING, since that version of the car doesn't appear in the video at all!
Wow when I was a kid at a restaurant in Sausalito CA there was a boat ramp into SF bay next to the restaurant and I was shocked when I watched a car drive into the water and go out into the bay like a boat. I remember seeing a few around Marin County after that. Was so cool!! 😎
The Dimaxion car was unstable rolled over and killed the driver R. Buckminster Fuller the inventor felt terrible. Good thing geodesic domes can't roll over.
Als Kind der 50er kannte ich das Amphicar (zumindest auf Fotos) und die Isetta ! Manchmal waren auch Messerschmitt Kabinenroller und Goggomobile zu sehen !
Das amphicar wurde in den 60ger Jahre in LÜBECK-SCHLUTUP gebaut habe sie oft als kleines Kind gesehen wenn sie in kollonne zur "Probefahrt "in die Trave gefahren sind, Fahrzeuge die in der Mitte vom Lenkrad das HOLSTENTOR hatten ,wie das Fahrzeug im Bericht, wurden in Lübeck gebaut nachher kurz vor Ende der 60ger wurde die Produktion nach West Berlin ausgelagert 🤷♂️ LG aus Lübeck 😊
hey that "Dymaxion" look very different, i would have like to see that vehicles inside. did they originaly build it as a motorhome ? i would like to see that. the single rear wheel might be very useful to drive in tight curves, is it that why they made it a single rear wheel or for what purpose did they make it a single rear wheel ?
It was a Great Bad Idea by Bucky Fuller - a man with many Great Ideas, some of which were Great Bad Ideas. In practice it caused frighteningly unstable, unpredictable handling.
It was an 8 passenger car, the upper body was made with stretched and doped canvas, like an old airplane. While the rear wheel steering was very maneuverable at low speeds, at high speeds it was not stable, one of the test drivers was killed in an accident.

The vehicle would inherently exhibit something he called "ground-loopiness" “A highly publicized[16] crash in Prototype One on October 27, 1933, occurred "virtually at the entrance to the Chicago Century of Progress World's Fair."[29] The Dymaxion rolled over during the crash, killing its driver, a Gulf employee named Francis T.

A coroner's inquest did not ascribe fault for the accident, stating that it involved a collision with a car driven by a shoe salesman named Meyer Roth (Fuller erroneously identified Roth as a highly placed Chicago Parks commissioner).[10][29][2][16] When Fuller learned that another car was involved, he placed the blame for the incident entirely on Roth.[10] Eyewitnesses, however, stated that Roth's vehicle struck the Dymaxion only after it had begun to roll over. Fuller, who was not present at the accident, provided his version of events in a book he wrote in collaboration with Robert Marks on the Dymaxion; this account was repeated in Lloyd Steven Sieden's book on Fuller.[9][29] They stated that the two vehicles were traveling at 70 mph, with Turner trying to evade the politician's car. The inquest showed, they argued, that the design of the Dymaxion was not a factor in the crash. The politician's car, they further claimed, was quickly and illegally removed from the scene of the crash before reporters arrived.[9] Turner was wearing a seatbelt but was killed when the canvas-covered roof framing collapsed. Dollfuss was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected and landed nearby on his feet. Sempill was severely injured and took months to recover before he could testify at the subsequent inquest.[9] The Dymaxion itself had rolled over and was badly damaged but was subsequently repaired by Fuller and Burgess. In the press, no mention was made that the Dymaxion had been involved in a two-car crash. Instead, the cause of the crash was attributed to the car's unconventional configuration: headlines in New York and Chicago read, "Freak car rolls over - killing famous driver - injuring international passengers". Fuller himself would later crash Prototype Two, with his only surviving daughter, Allegra (Allegra Fuller Snyder) aboard.”
2:30 I have this car in my crew 2 game " its sucks " 4:44 looks like cockpit off a blimp 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 5:18 yeah I feel real safe in this 😆😆😆😆 especially when the front of its looks like the back of it 🤔 6:50 oh look its mr bean most hated car 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣7:15 who would spend over a hundred grand on a tiny pos car big enough for a child to get in " hell no" 8:00 being in this is like being in a jet no room hope you don't freak out over tiny spaces to move
3 L/100km = 78.4 US mpg Or 1L per 33.33 KM The fact people use that god awfull per L/100km is beyond shitty, just have however many Km per liter . Why the confusing 100km per so many per liters !?

I've wanted an Isetta for a long time...or a Microlina...but the Isetta for sure... Love that car

I read that a test driver died after an accident in the Dymaxion. True?

@@PRH123 It is claimed that it could accommodate up to 11 people actually , not 8.
@ 4:59 Is that a Buckie Fuller car or some variant?
Yes
That last car was fine.
The thumbnail is of Flash Gordon’s daily driver.
Wow this is awesome 👏
Ariels are also made under licence in the USA.
The music conflicts with the imagery. Bad music choices.
I agree. It's ominous and creepy.
