There are a few things that seems really cool like the lighted highway and the flying ambulance/firetruck vehicle. But the monster highway making machine and that other one that melts the mountain... yikes!

With all those "visionary" ideas, its funny that they seemed to think all this stuff would still be designed with T-squares and triangles! What happened to all the old buildings and infrastructure? Was it obliterated in a nuclear holocaust?
