Predicting future trends is harder than you think. Much like the underwater car and hot air balloons, the tractor taxi didn't catch on as a form of public transportation.

Eliot Cricket III

1938 Eliot Cricket III, Samuel Eliot, ASAE, was an automotive experimenter and visionary. The Cricket III incorporated many of his ahead-of-the-time ideas; torsion-bar suspension, stainless-steel body; one-piece frame, rear-mounted engine, aircraft type control column for steering and braking and no-glare, slotted headlights. Among his many patents was an engine which would run on any fuel. In 1933 he built Boston’s first parking garage. This vehicle was a test bed so that the specifications varied widely.

Dr. Leo Stanley

Dr. Leo Stanley served as a chief surgeon for nearly four decades. Between 1919 and 1922, Dr. Leo Stanley injected 656 prisoners at San Quentin Prison.  Stanley would take the testicles out of executed prisoners and surgically implant them into living prisoners. In other experiments, he attempted to implant the testicles of rams, goats, and boars  into living prisoners. Stanley also performed various eugenics experiments, and forced sterilization  

on San Quentin prisoners Stanley believed that his experiments would rejuvenate old men, control crime (which he believed had biological causes), and prevent the "unfit" from reproducing.
