Beyond Tomorrow – Episode 39 (2006)

Synopsis

From building your own super car to the bus that drives itself and the most advanced robot in the world, this fast and furious program brings to the screen cutting edge technological advances that the Beyond team have combed the world to find.

Curator’s notes

The Beyond Tomorrow formula is to keep the pace of the items in tune with the amazing technological innovations they report. The good looking reporters present short, snappy and well-written pieces to camera, and the narrator keeps us abreast of the next couple of items about to hit the screen to keep our attention fully engaged. If you’re not particularly interested in the two-person lift for your private house, you might want to know about new developments in the world of special effects filmmaking coming out of New Zealand. Or perhaps the supercar designed and produced by an ex-racing driver, and test driven by the stunning looking Beyond presenter Sara Groen.
