A Waymo drive down Lombard Street, playable
Mindblown built a playable Waymo run down San Francisco's Lombard Street with Fable 5.5 and Three.js. The famous crooked block is the whole level.
Lombard Street is a terrible road and a perfect level. The switchbacks are short, the grade is steep, and everyone already knows the shot. Mindblown built a Waymo run down it in Three.js, with Fable 5.5, and put a playable link under the post.
A self-driving car on that block is a joke and a camera problem at the same time. The car has to take the turns slowly enough to be plausible and quickly enough to be fun. The gardens, the houses, and the drop all have to stay readable from the driver's seat.
Browser 3D of a famous street usually dies on the landmarks. Here the landmark is the road itself.
