Internet Roadtrip: Vote to steer

  • Oh boy that's going to be hefty bill for the street view API, isn't it?

    300 people * 12 votes/min -> 3600 street view events/min

    3600 events/min * $0.002/event -> $7.2/min (at current usage)

  • Love the immediate protest votes of Horn after we missed the turn.

  • I see this domain and immediately get excited.

  • Nice! There was a Daedalus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_E._H._Jones) column along the same lines back in the day. A bus where passengers could vote for how to steer, with the ones paying most money having the most votes. (https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/b7f0cfb077d6ad0f094d665e2bca7072)

  • Great old Twitch energy.

    Badly needs inline chat to be complete.

  • It wont work on my computer

  • I'm missing a history of past votes. Maybe a sliding window of the last n votes that you participated in and how you voted - as well as how it resolved.

    Another idea that comes to mind is a to foster solidarity between voters by maybe notifying you if there is someone that voted exactly like you for the last n votes. Might be harder to do unless you're syncing votes via webrtc already

  • the number of cool ideas this Neal guy has is too damn high

  • Fun idea! In between votes, the app could prefetch the next streetview frames, making it a bit more seamless once the vote has been cast?

  • The only thing I wish for is that the map showed the whole path taken since the website went live!

  • AGH why isn't it showing the street view??? It just shows the map.

  • Cool.. Interesting that we are going "forward" using the rear street view image, giving the impression that we're in the wrong lane heading towards oncoming traffic

  • It looks like a game of chicken for minutes now (we are driving on the left side of the road, red car is on a collision course but somehow it can still maintain an even distance).

  • I wanted to turn left off of Stow St (and so did everyone else it seems), but at the intersection, there were no left-facing arrows, so we're still on Stow St.

  • Bro it doesn t work then again im on my school computer

  • Tip: open in new tab. History entry per click!

  • I love the radio, that's a great touch.

  • Let's take this thing to Canada.

  • I don't understand why this clown car can't u-turn on these streets...

  • I wonder how hard it would be to use AI to generatively interpolate the images so it could be a video stream.

  • It needs to resolve faster if more people vote, based on a running average of voters, or sqrt of viewers present.

  • Great that it's stuck driving in the correct side of the road

  • #VoteHonk

  • Why does it vote every 30 feet, when there is only one option?

    Seems very slow.
