  • Berlin artist Simon Weckert found a way to turn green streets into red on the Google Maps app to discourage app users from going there, thereby sharply reducing traffic on those streets at will.
  • Weckert pulled it off using 99 smartphones running the app. This sort of hack has been around since as early as 2014.
  • Weckert's stunt was meant to showcase the power that services like Google Maps have over urban areas.
