The latest addition to neal.fun is a road trip simulator using Google Street View and a custom overlay. Viewers vote every ten seconds to choose a direction. As expected with anything decided by an internet vote, it is total anarchy. The car drives in circles, heads down dead ends, and has at least once barreled down a bike path.
Members of the very chill Discord server dedicated to the road trip, embedded on the site, are in a constant battle to unify the collective, possibly drunk, drivers. The "pathists" are trying to go straight to Canada, while the "detourists" are just looking for cool stuff. Right now, the insane car is taking a detour en route to Bar Harbor, Maine, to make a quick stop at Hadley Beach and possibly drive into the ocean.
Viewers also vote on the embedded FM radio station. The current station is WBOR, the radio station of Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, which is likely enjoying its highest listener numbers ever. Don't forget to honk the horn and play with the little tree air freshener. Onward to Canada!
