It's so interesting to see how people, street cars, horse & carts, and cars all seemed to share the road in what seemed like a controlled chaos manner
- wolfgang42 6y agoNote that this video was apparently partly staged, with cars circling around to come by the camera again, so it’s probably not entirely representative of actual traffic patterns at the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Trip_Down_Market_Street https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Trip_Down_Market_Street (The Wikipedia article also has an original scan of the video, without the AI confabulation and added sound effects, or a higher quality version with added sound here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2u4J7Dbouo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2u4J7Dbouo)

- wolfgang42 6y agoOf course! It’s still a cool view into the past and I’d not seen it before, so thank you for posting it.
