Apart from the cars of the future, I remember a vast hall devoted to the highways of the future. You stood on a high balcony and saw a dimly lit landscape of cities and hilly terrain with cars zipping along a complicated system of highways of the future at unimaginable speeds. The Interstate Highway system was just barely underway then and the was scene futuristic for sure, but today the scene in the hall is replicated every time you fly into a large city such as LA or Boston.
