Charles Demuth, I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold, 1928. Oil, graphite, ink, and gold leaf on paperboard.

Based on “The Great Figure” by William Carlos Williams:

Among the rain and lights I saw the figure 5 in gold on a red firetruck moving tense unheeded to gong clangs siren howls and wheels rumbling through the dark city.

1958 Golden Sahara II

It was packed with incredible features for the time, some of which could be operated via remote control; you could open the doors, start the engine and propel the car forwards, albeit slowly, via the remote.

It also had an electronic steering, braking and accelerating system could be controlled via a an aircraft-style lever or a touchpad on the dashboard, and sensors below the headlights that could automatically activate the brakes if they sensed a pedestrian in the car’s path, leading to Golden Sahara II being labelled one of the first autonomous cars (although we’d now think of it as “semi-autonomous”).

The amazing tech didn’t stop there: the car also featured massaging seats and contained not only a radio but also a telephone and television, and a drinks cabinet between the rear seats suggested the auto-braking system might have been prudent kit, on occasion.

One of the car’s standout features were the amazing tyres. Developed by Goodyear using Neothane, a translucent form of synthetic rubber, they contained internal lighting, which allowed them to glow.
