A father has created a custom racing game for his four-year-old daughter using dashcam footage and open map data. The game recreates their local streets, starting in the family driveway and ending at her school, with the family's actual cars as playable vehicles. It runs on a Steam Machine and has been ported to iOS, though he says he has no plans to release it publicly.

Why now: The personal, imaginative use of dashcam and open data to build a bespoke family game struck people as a delightful parenting project.
