in what will ultimately be used to improve the realism of the late mac classic “Vette,” Google & Standford will start mapping San Francisco in 3D. The reasoning? Well, in the original game you could change the gravity so that when you jumped on a hill you’d sail through the air. A 3D map of SF would let you know exactly which building you’d be careening into the 6th story of.
Laugh if you will, but after playing that game I knew my way around San Francisco. Not that I was old enough to drive, or that you need to drive in SF.
