If you get nostalgic for your commute during the dull weekend hours, here’s a little gadget to stave off withdrawal. There’s something oddly exhilarating about driving through an empty city with googleDrive (not to be confused with gDrive or gDrive). It’s just a little toy that lets you control a car speeding through the Google Map of your choice, but zipping across midtown Manhattan in under a minute is a feeling that can’t be beat.

Somebody needs to merge this into Grand Theft Auto, or something.
