       | idea, we should make a "feel good" website similar to
       | https://slowroads.io/ that literally lets you autopilot your car
       | through every road in new york. hell scale it up to every road in
       | the world. have a system to track how many kms / miles has been
       | driven and the drivers with the highest scores. Even Ad companies
       | at some point would be interested in showing ads every few kms
       | which can be circumvented by a paid sub

         | places where I used to live or work to see what they look like
         | now. This could be an extended version of the same thing.

         | Violence is very avoidable, especially during the daytime.

       | Amazing project. I would not be surprised if
       | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Transcendence_3100_Mile_R...
       | was a natural next "step".

       | Over a decade of commitment to the task itself, diligent blogging
       | of the whole experience, and a website design that brings me back
       | to my favorite time on the web. Beautiful.

       | Wandrer [0] is a good site if you want to do something like this
       | in your own town. It integrates with Strava and automatically
       | imports your walks/rides and tracks your progress on the map,
       | which lets you see where you've been and what streets you still
       | need to conquer.
       | 
       | It doesn't have any routing features, so you'll still have to
       | plan your own routes, but it is pretty mobile friendly.
