Playing in the World Game 
A nice piece. I found myself spending the full 9’15” watching it. It strikes me that a) putting a camera at the front of your vehicle to film where you’re going is hardly a new idea, b) the traffic in 1906 is disturbingly similar to what you’re likely to find in many cities today if you simply swap horse carriages for automobiles, c) they really weren’t all that obsessed with traffic safety, were they?
The turntable at the end is a very nice finishing touch to the ride.
A minor note: I find the word “video” to be somewhat anachronistic in this setting, very un-1906 😉
Pedant. 😛
