What is Drive & Listen?
Drive & Listen is an online virtual travel experience, allowing you to explore real cities using dash-cam footage and tune into a local radio station in real-time. This simulation is more about relaxation, discovery and atmosphere as opposed to fast-paced challenges. Developed in the midst of the global lockdown, it has gained popularity as a so-called digital travel companion to everyone who feels the need to experience a feeling of movement and cultural connection despite being at home. It combines the aspects of simulation, casual games, and exploration of the atmosphere, making it less of a game and more of a tranquil trip through the city life.
Drive, Listen to Music and Enjoy
It is easy and user-friendly to get started. First, select a city out of the global map available- be it Tokyo, Paris or any other place. After being chosen, the video will just start and display the actual street shots using a moving car. There, select a local radio station to suit the city ambience. You also have the option of playing at slow or fast speeds or switching on or off ambient sound on the street. No missions or goals, just relax and have a hassle free, immersive ride.
