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

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

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

Great old Twitch energy.
Badly needs inline chat to be complete.

Volume control needs to also be votable.

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).

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)

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?
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.

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

Does it not? Zoom out on the map.

I've found it to not work consistently. When I first started it showed the whole thing, but after playing for a while and some refreshes it only shows the path that this browser has seen. So if I switch apps for a while with it running in the bg, then come back, it skips straight from where we were when I last played to where we are now

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

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

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

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

Why does it vote every 30 feet, when there is only one option?
Seems very slow.

Well, it's a road trip! Whoever said road trips are fast?

Good point, but I wish I could swivel my head to enjoy the scenery at least.

We're closer than we were before!

It's about the journey, not the destination

Also the vote timer is shorter if there's only one option!
