"Have you ever paid a toll booth without slowing down?", and then he slides his credit card through a thing in his car!!! :-D :-D

I mean, they got the prediction right, but their implementation is so so wrong!

You'll recall that the first iPhone was exclusive to AT&T so it feels a little like they came through on this promise. Apple might deserve a little of the credit, I suppose.
Good commercial. Kind of chilling how visionary those ideas were at the time and that they did happen, though not exclusively brought to us by AT&T.
One of the comments on that video:

"Will you lose your privacy and civil liberties? You will, and the company that will bring it to you, AT&T."
