This silent footage is from the Drivotrainer, a driver's education simulator produced by the automobile insurer Aetna. The Drivotrainer dates as far back as 1951, when Aetna introduced the innovative system, which combined an automobile simulator with 16mm motion pictures and a scoring computer, to provide enhanced behind-the-wheel instruction in the classroom. (Note: this film was originally presented in widescreen and will appear slightly distorted on Youtube.) The film presents POV images of highway and city driving, including some "think fast" surprises (such as at :49 where a Mustang makes a sneak turn in front of stopped cars and at 3:29 where a car makes an illegal passing maneuver). At (2:13) the film also contains a fragment of film that show neon signs for various bars and cocktails, followed by a brief bit of night driving footage. The segment at 4:11 shows side view mirrors, attempting to familiarize student drivers with checking them. The film even contains a brief section where crippled cars are shown on the side of the highway at 5:50 with an officer waving cars to slow. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
