let's go…
Designed by John Mack at GM's Advanced Design Studio in 1987, the Chevrolet Express was a concept car that pushed the boundaries of automotive innovation. With its sleek aerodynamics, gas turbine engine, and advanced drive-by-wire technology, it offered a glimpse into a high-speed, self-driving future.

I love it, but I kinda thought it was a PC mouse at first.
Robocop called. He wants his helmet back.
The GM Express concept was 200+ mph intercity travel to compete with short to mid haul air travel. Vehicle could cost more, perhaps as much as a helicopter. Automakers also knew, by this time, that cruise speeds over 100 mph would need automated guidance on separated lanes or guideways. Ford’s earlier Levacar project was angling this way too.
What a future we could have had.
I still have all my BTTF-2 “Solar Shades” from Pizza Hut. Movie promos/swag were definitely hitting “88mph” at the time, cool memories.
