Simon Weckert, a Berlin-based artist took 99 second-hand phones in a small cart with Google Maps running on all of them and started walking on empty road. As he walked, Google noticed too many users and sensed the traffic is moving slow and showed that the street has too many cars.
The video showed that the streets on Google Maps serially turned from green to red indicating that there was a traffic congestion on those streets thereby impacting the physical world by navigating cars on another route to avoid being stuck in traffic. The experiment also proves how dependent we are on technology these days.
