Using a cart of 99 smartphones, artist Simon Weckert is able to generate virtual traffic jams in Google Maps. Through this, it is possible to turn a otherwise empty, 'green' street into a 'red' one -- which has an impact in the physical world by navigating cars on another route.
I’ve thought about this recently how Apple/Google Map applications have an algorithm for which user’s will be routed into a traffic jam and which will be routed around a traffic jam.

He’s gotta 99 problems but a traffic jam isn’t one.
