A very similar concept, with more work put into it: http://drivey.com/ http://drivey.com/ I like these very much even though I hate driving in real life.

  Nice! Last update was in 2005, sadly, but I've just installed the screensaver version. :) It seems like this might be an idea whose time has come--the page bemoans the loss of simple, evocative, lo-fi visuals, which have very much come back into fashion since 2005.

  That looks kinda neat! Did anyone ever do a port of it to Mac?

Add a bit of color and you are close to a late 1980s racing game [1]. [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jatdv0EszIk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jatdv0EszIk

  Personally, it reminded me of an updated version of Night Driver, except you couldn't crash. I had the Atari 2600 version [1] when I was a kid, but I know there were other versions [2] that were a little closer. I'm curious if these old racing games were an inspiration.

    That's indeed even closer. I had a 2600, too, but no racing game for it, as far as I remember.

This website is actually an artwork by Dutch/Brazilian artist Rafaël Rozendaal. More websites/artworks: http://www.newrafael.com/websites/ http://www.newrafael.com/websites/ As you can tell by the link I posted you can see his work consists of a lot of websites (you can actually buy/own them!) although he also makes "offline" work... Two of my favorite websites: http://www.fallingfalling.com/ http://www.fallingfalling.com/ http://www.muchbetterthanthis.com/ http://www.muchbetterthanthis.com/ I can also recommend his app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2nKns9_fM8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2nKns9_fM8 Needless to say... I'm a fan.
