Neal Agarwal of Neal.fun created the “Internet Roadtrip”, an ingenious collaborative online driving simulator where players vote on direction and radio music every ten seconds. The car moves very slowly, but gets to an agreed upon location eventually.

Here's the moment that 1000+ participants in @neal.fun's Internet Roadtrip finally reached the studios of WBOR, the student-run college radio station that they've been listening to (and interacting with) all week while traveling at a snail's pace through Maine.
