Syd Mead, the inspiration behind the futurist world of the film "Blade Runner" as well as many other hit films, makes a return visit to the Autoline studios to talk about everything from autonomy to "the electronic herd."

    There's an old phrase; 'The way to predict the future is to invent it'. Well I think Syd Mead must have been plugged into some "great cosmic mind" to predict so much so accurately, and I wish there were more of his like so that we could give them platforms to reach us and prepare us for what's really coming down the road in terms of social, technological, health and economical developments.

    I believe that Syd Mead in our 21st Century is what Nikola Tesla was in his 18th Century in terms of Futuristic Ideas and Vision! I didn't know he had a hand in designing the sets in the Movie "Elysium"...I liked that Movie as well. Concerning Elon Musk and his Above Ground Loop Tube Train...Well the Secret Government and its Black Budget has already Built an Underground Version called a MagLev Tube Train that Travel at Supersonic Speeds and has been in service since the 70's!...God Bless!

    Awesome. But i do not think the automobile will disappear anytime soon. Maybe the public networks might change, but the want to own your car will always be there, same as your own personal space. I think that ownership time frame is the only thing that has changed. You won't want it immediately. Only if you can afford it. Get to store it somewhere. So something cheap and easy to store away will sell. Love Syd's art, esp from the 60s (am a fan of 60's comics Modesty Blaise). Something very lifting, dynamic, dreamy? about that era.

      The automobile will get more autonomous. Cars will become more like moving smartphones, that can be leased and more people will share them, because most people don't need them 24/7, especialy within urban environments.

    That's Asymptotic, he says well, right after 19:35. "It all goes asymptotic and you can't grasp the progress anymore." "Eventually the data, when everything goes..all the asymtope (?), which are the data segments, go parallel vertical, and goes asymptotic, and you can't grasp the progress anymore.." Now if that's not an intriguing statement...especially since you're not quite sure about that one word that sounds like asymtope. Gonna have to email him about that.

    he is a great thinker but i think the "horse" direction of cars seriously neglects the need to transport the family unit. that need is not likely to disappear altogether and a traditional carriage type car will still be more suited for this.

    • @Wuppie62
      @Wuppie62 5 років тому

      We already have iron and electrified horses, they're called bicycles and e-bikes. :) Great way of personal transportation in urban environment, because most cars are only occupied by 1,3 persons while taking up a lot of space, emitting bad fumes and fine dust, made of 2 tons of steel. Very inefficient.
      There'll be many different cross over designs between bicycles and big automobiles.

      That style, that he perfected and exaggerated in his own personal case, was really great. I remember board games, car/airplane/ship models all coming in boxes illustrated in that gouache style, and it was just terrific art, all done by unknowns.
