So, horse-driven tanks, genetic modification of the horse genome to make them bigger, faster, and stronger, Kevlar-armored war horses, machine gun turrets mounted on horses, Mars rover pulled by a horse in a spacesuit, suburban families have sports utility horses in their garage, and NASCAR would be extreme horse racing.

But wouldn't bicycles also be important in this timeline?
Probably. They'd be important in major cities, for certain.
Yeah. I think I remember something about the bike replacing the horse to some extent.
I'm absolutely sure they'd be. They're just about the fastest mode of individual transportation besides horses (besides them being a one-time investment). As such, there's no doubt that the popularity of the bicycle would skyrocket in this scenario and that you'd see them everywhere.
I’m sure it would but remember that bicycles are limited to those that are able bodied.
withintheshyness
Depends on what you mean by able bodied, are you talking about people who are absolutely stuck in wheel chairs? Or are you referring to anyone who so happens to be missing a limb, weither it be from war or they were just born with out it. As for those absolutely stuck in a wheel chair then yes, that is definitely true, but if you are missing a limb, well there are prosthetics for that and even then, most people are able bodied, as for the ones who aren't, there are trains, I'm pretty sure horse drawn taxis would exist too.
So... would this mean self driving horses will be around in 2020?
Horses already drive them selves.

Actually, wait, there has to be a rider on the horse or a controller to use a horse. So they aren't self writing.

Trams! Millions of Trams!
Nah, id say electric vehicles, the first one was made in 1830 and they've gone through 3 golden ages of sorts, and we're living in the third, so I'd say that it would all be electric, vehicles would look similar enough for you or me to go "yep, thats a truck" or "yep, thats a suburban" and be able to drive it with few problems, electric vehicles would remain the apex form of travel
@@lhtyeehaw1319 Problem is, with electric cars and trucks you need a way to store that electicity.
Battery technology is just barely getting good right now. NASA's lunar rover, which was an electric vehicle, cost almost 40 million dollars back in the day. So until the 90s or so, that would ensure that trams will have an advantage over personal vehicles, as they can just use power lines. So, until the 90s, trams and trolleybuses will rule the streets.
Super late here but streetcars “trams” were massive before the car and were way more affordable way to travel compared to cars. Los Angeles had 1100 mi of street rail that was destroyed for a bus network. Other cities had hundreds of miles of streetcar track everywhere.

I think it would make more sense to go with something like "what if petroleum wasn't so common"? We'd still have steam or electric cars, but they'd be a lot less useful at every point in their history and we'd rely more heavily on trains for cross country travel and mass transit systems in cities.
I think that wood gasification would be used instead to make fuel, and cooking-oil diesel would become popular, as well. Let's not forget algae and grass can also be turned into biomass. In fact, vertical farming might be used in the desert with complicated systems of mirrors and frosty-glass or semi-transparent plastic, with solar distilleries mass-producing water vapors near the sea and ocean shores, with large pipes sending the vapors to higher elevations where to be shaded to turn into fresh water, in order to get a lot more biomass produced worldwide. At that point, it might become cheaper to have the people build and maintain automatic grass and grains vertical farms, before algae starts being used, with the vertical farms then being slowly phased into producing more food which is used to grow more people which will require so much more fuel that the rest of those factories will be kept in use and maintained.
Also, due to higher fuel prices, dikes might be used to wall off a country's claims to water, or at least buoys used to break off big waves and calm smaller waves, to use all that extra water to grow even more biomass, both below (seaweeds) and above (floating islands) the water. This could be the push needed to cover the oceans with farms, possibly putting an end to the ebb-and-flow (flux and reflux) of the world's oceans, and wars being waged over water surface, as well as over land surface, with dedicated trade routes being kept clean for big ships to go through.

Then you wouldn't be wondering that.
What about if electric cars became the norm instead of oil/petrol powered engines? Early on in the history of the car both were options
What if overhead catenary wires with pantographs were used instead of gas or onboard electric battery.
@@user-nf9xc7ww7m You mean trolley-cars and trolley-trucks? There are apparently industry companies partnering with some nearby cities to make trolleytrucks usable on the roads between the industries (i.e. some mine and some factories), to significantly cut on costs. Especially since solar panels could be used to run those, with the times with the most power being produced being times when the most energy-intensive processes would be used, or where most vehicles would be on the road (since loading and unloading also takes time).
But what about bikes, urban railway public transport (trams/metro)? I suspect those could largely be a substitute for motor transport, allowing cities to grow to comparable sizes as in our timeline.
Bikes, paired with urban railway (trams and metro), trains, as well as conveyor belts (which were actually used in cities, debuting as the main way to cover long distances at a world fair almost 130 years ago (129 years more precisely). The world fair was called "The Columbian Exposition of 1893", and the conveyor belt had 4500 ft (1371 m, 1.3 km, 0.85 miles). The conveyor belt even had 2 section, a slower one and a faster one. Just like we have slower local public transport and faster regional or national or international public transport.
Just like how there are local roads and highways. Dutch have 3 road categories for cars inside cities (the fourth would be highways): Pedestrian (moving at pedestrian streets/roads), roads (high speed inside the city), and streets (running parallel to the roads, connecting the intersections of the roads and streets with the pedestrian streets/roads without having too many intersections slowing cars down).
The same thing could happen with conveyor belts with fixed speeds, but those would be used with pedal-powered vehicles (bicycles, tricycles and quadcycles/quadricycles), with or without a cabin (to protect from the elements and temperature). Agricultural combustion-engine or steam-engine or electric-engine vehicles would still exist, as soon as technologically and economically viable, but not the personal-transport motorized vehicles.

If you don't have cars, and still have trains, monorails and subways would just become more common, as larger population requires more modes of transport. Individualism is removed, but public transportation would step up to the plate. And, with both rich and poor having to use them, they'd be in a MUCH better condition than they are today.
What if the native americans beat the pilgrams

+World of Tanks blitz Pilgrims were kicked out of england...so what army you speaking of?
I'm so confused by this comment?
I don't think the Pilgrims were ever at war with native Americans
+Mac Tonight (Anonymous) Not war, just a battle they wanted the land but Indians already inhabited it so they kill them then Jamestown and then more people came after Indians were partly wiped out and they had a place to live and it repeated it's self until they reached the Pacific. (Extremely over generalized). bye bye.
The Pilgrims befriended the Indians. However, the British colonists were very tense with them.

What if the USA kept the land from Mexico City to the Rio Grande (Mexican-American War)?
What if the plane was never invented?
What if oil was never used?
What if modern society was taking place during an Ice Age?
These are all very interesting.
I agree. Now that absence of gunpowder and cars, the airplane and oil makes sense to me for the progression. But also the aspect that during the Mexican-American war, the Americans were able to march into Mexico City. They won the war but only moved the border of the US to the Rio Grande, instead of taking all the land gained during conflict versus the Mexican military. The reason why is because the US didn't want to have to care for that influx of population, but what if they did.
these would make great episodes

I love the comedy you inject into these
I have visited a valley in southwest France where there is one train passing every 30 minutes, and it stops in every village.
One thing for sure, in a no-cars scenario, commercial districts stay on the main street and do not migrate outside urban centers.
It's a very interesting scenario you have here and for the most part it makes sense. There's just one factor I feel you may have neglected, especially when considering how cities would have developed without the car: Trams. By the mid 19th Century people had figured out how to build small railways into city streets and how to design rail vehicles that could carry more people and move faster and more smoothly than a horse-drawn omnibus. The tram was born. At first these were mostly powered by steam or compressed air, but by the 1890's electric trams came onto the scene and really changed things. Even before cars became something that anyone could own, trams were among the first vehicles to give people the freedom of their cities, allowing people to live relatively far from their jobs, so long as they lived and worked within walking distance of a tram line. And in most large cities by the 20th Century, that pretty much meant anywhere.
And it wasn't just inner city travel that was changed by the trams. By the 1910's larger interurban trams started to come into vogue, particularly in North America. These trams were much bigger than their city-born counterparts, and while they were still flexible enough to navigate the inner city streets their main job was to connect the city centers with smaller communities nearby, often at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. A couple of good examples of these interurban tramways include the London & Port Stanley Railroad in Canada, which linked the shore of Lake Ontario to the major railroad stations, and the Galveston & Houston Electric Railroad in Texas, linking one of the southwest's biggest ports with one of its biggest financial centers (and boasted to be the fastest interurban railroad in the world), and the biggest of all such companies, Pacific Electric, which operated hundreds of miles of streetcar and interurban lines through the Los Angeles area from 1901 until 1961, playing a major role in forming LA into the city it is today. Had the car not been invented, both inner city streetcars and interurban light railroads would have flourished even more than in our actual timeline and would continue to thrive to this day.
As it is, as the economy continues to suck, making cars increasingly a luxury for lower class families, at least in the US, and as roads become increasingly overcrowded, trams and interurbans are starting to enjoy a renaissance for many of the same reasons they became popular in the first place: relatively cheap to build, maintain, and operate, with superior capacity and speed to most buses.
I completely agree. Add to that bicycles (especially the "dutch bicycle" aka. "roadster bicycle"), tricycles, and quadcycles/quadricycles, all of them with or without a cabin (so you can pedal in peace unaffected by wind, snow, rain, cold or heat, and even from being soaked head to toe by nearby vehicles running through a puddle at high speeds). Add to that the world fair called "The Columbian Exposition of 1893", where a conveyor belt which had 4500 feet (1371 m, 1.3 km, 0.85 miles) was used to move people around. The conveyor belt even had 2 section running alongside eachother, a slower one on the outside and a faster one on the inside. Just like we have slower local public transport and faster regional or national or international public transport.
1. What if airplanes were never invented?
2. What if Mao Zedong died in 1956?

7. What if Franklin Delano Roosevelt lived longer?
8. What if Austria won the Austro-Prussian War?
9. What if Italy joined the Central Powers?
10. What if the Kuomintang won the Chinese Civil War?
As far as Operation Long Jump, I did not previously know about it, but in the US, it would've just made Truman president, and in Britain, it would've made Clement Attlee Prime Minister. I don't know much about Soviet politics of the time, but I presume they probably had a successor to Stalin who, likewise, would've taken over in the event of _his_ death, so I really don't think it would've scored any significant points for Germany.

I'm sorry Cody but you are wrong no cars does not mean smaller cities. It just means better tram and metro systems. Take London it is only as big as it is today because of the Underground, it was public transportation in Europe which allowed cities to grow not cars American cities would have similar systems. Also a lot of freight is transported by rail already in America it is much more efficient than roads. You don't need to be in walk distance from work but walking distance from a train station.
No cars would mean more people would live inside city limits instead of neighboring suburbs. America used to have rail lines everywhere but many were removed as cars became the more desired mode of transportation.
Like My Comment Fam Not necessarily, and such rail lines would never have been removed but rather invested in. Existence of inner-city slums and improving public transport would mean people being relocated to suburbs.
If you look at the population of London, its population hasn't varied greatly in the last 100 years, but at around 7 million people, it can hardly be considered to be a small city. Cars didn't really change much of London's life. Public transportation also enabled countries like Britain to develop a more homogeneous culture, rather than local identities. Suburbs had already been developing in and around large cities in Europe long before the car became popular. I think Cody's really got this one wrong. Yes, certain cities would be designed differently - they would just have more trams and subways etc.
Jaime Badajoz Very much so the railways did more to unite countries than cars did and expand cities more efficiently than cars.
+ejcmoorhouse Cody is not necessarily wrong, but I do feel he's romanticizing cars a bit too much. if cars hadn't been invented or at least popularized then American cities would be similar to cities in Europe and elsewhere in the developed world. the way European cities are built is essentially how Cody described it, they would be smaller in areal size, but the population wouldn't be smaller, it would be more dense. there would also be comprehensive public transit in every city just like in Europe. not gonna lie, I always say this is the set up that I'd prefer over what we got here now. less congestion, less pollution, people close to activities and jobs, more pretty cities as a result of the need to maintain it and make it more convenient for the plethora of townspeople. let's hop in a time machine and kill ford

And in agreement with some of the other posts regarding streetcars, the electric vehicles of yesterday (ala pre-WW2) which once made it possible to travel from one end of the New England states (except Vermont) to the others for a handful of pocket change and then into the NYC rail system; and then trains traveled from east to west coast.
The much fan-fared hyperloop is seen by some a combination of streetcar, highspeed rail and Heinlein's 'Roads Must Roll' high speed national conveyor belt system minus the need for pilots/drivers.

Cars never existinging? A hell of a lot less pollution i can tell you that.
existing* Okay, I'll leave now.
Well actually there could be nearly the same pollution. We'd still be creating technology and technology made can be even worse to the environment
jACKIE BOi Fair enough. I'm just speculating and implying presumption. Not laying out facts.
Actually, cars, and transportation, don't cause as much pollution as we think. All transportation (i.e. trains, airplanes, cars, everything) contribute to 13% of all global greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide and methane, for example). Now this may seem like a lot, but in perspective, it isn't. Animal agriculture (meat production, dairy and egg production, all animal products) contributes to 51% of all green house gases. I mean, that is insane! Animal agriculture also directly causes 91% of rainforest destruction. Just had to point those things out. We can't target and blame cars and/or other transportation when there are much bigger, more preventable causes of global warming.
FrostyWolfZ Like i mentioned before. Just speculating. But you have officially changed my mind and brought more knowledge and hope into my soul. I hope that in the future you continue to do so to others. Thank you.

It'd be a paradise instead of an oppressive car dependent dystopia!
This does ignore the streetcar which was a big part of many town and city plans since locomotive vehicles had been in use until the large uptake of cars. its not a huge expansion, but it helps with city planning and market planning and gives us some extra mobility especially when combined with larger distance locomotives.
If cars never existed, my life would have no meaning :(

+SingleTurboSupra Horses can't drift though...my career is over!
I think that between regular rail roads and light rail for inner cities and possibly even rural arias, people would still be able to live pretty fare from there work places and it would be fine. People would go interstate about as much as they do now, it's just that they would take the train instead of a buss, and horse drawn cardigans and carts would replace buss's.
Your 30min walk would be cut down by having better public transport. Everywhere would have to have better public transport because it would be necessary.
Yup, and cities like Tokyo are still oriented more around mass transit than cars. What you get is a greater concentration around transit corridors and nodes, with densities more rapidly decreasing once you get outside easy walking/bicycle range from the nearest transit node.
You still have sprawl and suburbs, but their nature is very different than car-oriented sprawl and suburbs.
yeah, I'd argue that the rural areas would actually see a bit more of a population than they currently have, as each farming community would have a need for specific skilled jobs (Smiths, Farriers, and especially doctors). So, towns would spring up around train stops, with multiple farming families living there with the skilled people staying in the towns while the rest went out to their farmwork.
My great grandfather was born in a pretty small town back in the early 1900s. No cars back then RIP.
Let me guess the first 7 minutes of this video are about what cars are
Sad, But True.

Duh
What if the Tiannamen protests never happened?
What if Prohibition is never a thing?
What if censorship was never known to humanity?
What if smoking was never dangerous to your health?
To answer all of those questions: business as usual.
"If smoking wasn't harmful?"
People would smoke and that's it.
that doesn't really sound like something I'd brag about, seeing as how horrible the nazi regime was :/
"What if the Tiannamen protests never happened?"
According to the CCP, it didn't.
"What if Prohibition is never a thing?"
There would be little to no organized crime in the U.S.
"What if censorship was never known to humanity?"
Then dictatorships, power grabs, and abuses of office would rarely be an issue.
"What if smoking was never dangerous to your health?"
The world would be shrouded in a cloud of tobacco smoke.
Come on..... give me a hard one!
Jerry VanNuys yeah, according to CCP, that is. Not to the people.
XD That last part with the other guy is just to funny.
Most people would live within a 1/2 mile of a train/subway station. You would want to be near a station to get best food. There would be a lot of train tracks but overall it may actually be an improvement. New York city mostly operates this way already. In Los angeles, the San Fernando valley might depopulate and move to downtown, with the valley becoming more Orange grove.
What if Britain had crushed the United States in the War of 1812?
But Britain did win the War of 1812.
+ThatRandomDude it ended with a stalemate but yeah they did
+ThatRandomDude they rekt murica
what is the confederates took over america?
+Jules CM he already did that
It's sad that all I took away from this was "You stepped on my fern." ROFL
You could have a scenario where no one develops petroleum/ oil sources for gas cars, and steam power is limited by demand for coal and wood for heating, cooking and some stationary industrial uses. Thus you do have water pumps and steam ships remain possible, but transport via land remains much more expensive than by water.
Little late I know but you should totally make a “What if there were no cars in WWI?” video xD with the usual “There’s so many variables it’s impossible to predict. However, this is just ONE scenario.”
I'll never get a self driving car
youre right m8 isis become hackers and could cheat on video games and hijack these cars
If ISIS hacks me in the middle of a Stellaris multiplayer match I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL PULL A LINDA
Me neither. The ones I have work fine. Why would I make the investment into a more expensive new self-driving model if it doesn't have a clear advantage. What is the incentive to own and operate one?
That never seems to get fully fleshed out with these "omg self-driving cars are teh futar guyz" explanations and I have a feeling that it might work out a bit like the flying car promises of the past. Yeah, we could make them. We could buy and sell them. But why? What is the point?
Same here I do not want one unless it's fully self contained in that it does not require an always on Internet connection,does not send data back to a central authority, and I can take over and drive manually at any time.
All I can say about Google's vision of a self driving car is all of my nope.
Randall Waitt the point is safety, people are awful at driving and thousands die each year in car crashes. the more self-drive cars the safer it is. Not to mention
What if Spain joined the Axis in World War 2.
And now an alternate history video on what if we hadn't found oil in the ground.
Alternate history hub are you ever going to talk about in an alternate timeline where technology never exists
What if shigaru miyomoto never made donkey kong?
BLASPHEMY
Raj Singh ?
Or mario kart????
Sam McKinlay mario kart wouldnt exist without dk
Oooh boy...
Well if Nintendo was never spurred on to get into the game industry by the success of Donkey Kong, then a LOT of things would have changed.
First of all, and the most important difference, Nintendo would have never jump-started the game industry in the United States after the video-game crash of the 1980s. Assuming that nobody else took their place, not only would this mean that it would take a lot longer for the game industry to recover (which would have unforseeably drastic consequences in of itself), but Atari would have never had a major competitor to threaten them while in a weakened state: meaning they would have eventually recovered, and the Jaguar 64 may have actually been a decent system on account of Atari not being desperate to compete with the Super Nintendo (Which wouldn't exist).
It gets weirder. Without the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Play-Station wouldn't exist (Playstation being the result of Nintendo publicly humiliating Sony when they were partnering up to create the system that would end up being the Philips CD-i (CZcams Poop wouldn't exist)), and without the Play-Station the X-Box wouldn't exist (Which was created because Microsoft was threatened by the Play-Station 2's all in one entertainment functionality). The big players in the console market would probably be SEGA and Atari.
Interestingly, the Game-Boy and its derivatives would probably still exist, since the Game-Boy was inspired by Gunpei Yokoi's Game & Watch. There would be no Mario games on it, though. The mascot of the system would probably be Mr. Game & Watch. Pokemon would be on the system, since Pokemon was specifically made for the Game Boy, though it might not have been as influential. That said, it would probably be Nintendo's flagship title.
Nintendo would remain the king of hand-held consoles, and may have even gotten into mobile phone development. Though the profitability of such a venture would be questionable (See every other handheld console that sported mobile phone functionality).
Gaming itself would also be completely different. Without the Japanese influence on the United States during the '80s, Japanese games would be seen as something weird and confusing, and would probably be lumped in with anime as "otaku stuff." The nationalistic divide would cause the two industries to go very separate ways, even today. American games would all be your RTSs and your Shooters, while Japanese games would be your RPGs and the like. Without JRPGs, it would take a long time for American gamers to accept story in videogames, and the stories that do prop up would be inspired by your mysterious Sierran adventure games, rather than your Final Fantasy esq high-adventure.
And despite all that, this is only a very short look at what would change.
What if the big bang never happened?
best one yet
That's only a theory similar to many other theories such as the string theory, but a video on that could only take seconds to explain the alternate timeline.
Brent Sewell *sarcasm*
Nothing happened then.
Your an idiot we would not be alive
What if Spartacus never existed? Great topic for next video
YOU JUST GOT A SUB!
If cars didn't exist, I would go to school on bus. Check mate.
are you dumb
A bus is a car bro
+toasted butter I think he's just fucking with you
I'm pretty sure he's joking, actually.
Fine. On train then, gawd
if cars didnt exist then Archduke Franz Ferdinand could have not been assassinated (or been assassinated in a different way) as he was shot in a car so ww1 may not have happend
G!nwood Well he probably would’ve been assassinated while riding a horse then.

"Did you brake in my window" cracked me up
Not gonna lie, I've just watch this now and it seems that this just a tip of the iceberg
Car culture, movies, sports, oil and coal, consumerism, technology, and many more is still yet to explain
There's so much things that cars has done in our society that it has left their main function as from point A to point B, to more individualism, community, and society function as a whole
So yeah, car changes everything to be honest
I've always wondered if something spectacular would happen if in 1800, the people somehow received a very common but fully charged laptop straight from a store in the year 2016. So not with any additional educational files about our world and tech, but including the basic stuff like an OS, text editor, media player, charger etc. I could spend hours imagining in what ways it would or would not affect the industrial revolution, but to get the thoughts of AlternateHistoryHub would be beyond cool.
World without cars.
Cleaner, more local, and sucks
I'm a big train and urban transportation Geek. I think this sounds like a paradise! lol I wanna point out like Street Cars in Urban area's would be more prevalent (even LA was built with streetcars in mind). In this scenario Global warming could not be a thing, not only Cars not burning up gas, but the compact urban life style make people angry when companies smoke out their apartment or pollute their drinking water. oh and no bikes? lol
good video!
today I was driving on the freeway and just seeing all the cars speed past made me think what if cars never existed how would we transport ourselves at high speeds. because horses don't reach speeds of 80 mph. sometimes I think cars are very useful but just imagine how many people would still be alive if it wasn't for car accidents
