The Real Blade Runner: A Conversation with Futurist Syd Mead - Autoline This Week 1732 

I already miss him... 😢😔😔😔 Rest in peace, sir...

Syd Mead is one of my heroes.

Syd's work is BEAST.

Syd Mead is the boss

Here's a guy I truely admire ... more than his machinery creations, he knows the artistic side of illustration like no other, the INTENSE INTENSE yet lyrical and poetic moods in his renderings are really really breathtaking ...

I still can't believe he's gone. But his vision will live on forever. What a Legend.

Syd Mead just passed away I never knew his concepts of famous movies until today!

RIP Syd, I've admired his work since I was blown away by Tron.

Visionary. Wow. As a designer I've always been inspired by Syd Mead but to hear him talk and imagine the future that's beginning to happen is amazing. Love him.

This guy is brilliant.

Enriching experience to watch and listen to Syd. RIP Sir.

Huge fan of Syd Mead!

Wonderful, thank you

Rest in piece Sid, thank you for everything.

I found it now he's also very funny and cute person ..🥰 will miss you forever, sir 😔😔😔😢

"Comments have been disabled for this video" Coz... Syd Mead works astounded me.

The most down -to-earth futurist.

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.

Thank you for this video

LEGEND

This was awesome !

Syd Mead is Eternal.

11:19 surprised he didn't mention VR. The Oculus Rift is taking it to new levels, I have it and man its potential is mind blowing. Forget social media..this IS it.

great discussion

I love his designs

Fantastic video.

He was a great communicator and teacher as well as designer artist. Man he’s missed

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!

RIP Syd Mead

Syd saw the future, and it's a cookbook.

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.

AFAIK, Doug Trumbull at one time developed a 360° dome projection system, but couldn't implement it due to the [economics?] of setting it up.

The man who inspired Cybertruck!

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.

Don't forget about Mass Effect

❤

7 years on and people are still buying personal cars with no end in sight.

A smaller color palette lends to less color conflicts.

25:25 Syd Mead about range anxiety with gas cars in the 50ies

My impression was always that the Earth's atmosphere had changed, becoming more cloudy and rainy due to global warming. So it had become a bit warmer, but the Earth, to compensate, had become much more cloudy.

11:55 what does that remind you of???????

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.

Riveting!

RIP.

20:36 wow, 11 years later and here we are with dozens of humanoid robots being developed, autonomous taxis before the end of the decade, and AI is getting smarter at a near monthly rate.

24:22 spoken like a true boomer

Love that he was an out and proud gay man .

Futurists think were going to go all hi tech ..flying cars''living on other planets ''all the bells and whistles you see in movies...in reality were going backwards...

Wow Syd was actually gay! 24:51 Interesting.

Syd is right. Teens today have very little interest in cars

17:35 - Do you want to become Daleks? Because this is how we become Daleks.

Huge fan of Syd Mead!

Fantastic video.
