Oh boy that&#x27;s going to be hefty bill for the street view API, isn&#x27;t it?<p>300 people * 12 votes&#x2F;min -&gt; 3600 street view events&#x2F;min<p>3600 events&#x2F;min * $0.002&#x2F;event -&gt; $7.2&#x2F;min (at current usage)

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

Nice! There was a Daedalus (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;David_E._H._Jones" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;David_E._H._Jones</a>) 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. (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;genome.ch.bbc.co.uk&#x2F;b7f0cfb077d6ad0f094d665e2bca7072" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;genome.ch.bbc.co.uk&#x2F;b7f0cfb077d6ad0f094d665e2bca7072</a>)

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

I&#x27;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.<p>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&#x27;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&#x27;t it showing the street view??? It just shows the map.

Cool.. Interesting that we are going &quot;forward&quot; using the rear street view image, giving the impression that we&#x27;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&#x27;re still on Stow St.

I don&#x27;t understand why this clown car can&#x27;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&#x27;s stuck driving in the correct side of the road

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