Created by arcade game enthusiast Garnet Hertz, the [classic arcade cabinet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-arcade-pro) is really drivable. The Sega Outrun car is a result of the fusion of a classic game console, and modern technology including an [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soolra), an electric scooter, and GPS software which displays real-time mapping rendered to look like the original game. **Implications** - The Sega Outrun Car real-time mapping feature is impressive. Just like Google Maps, you can use the map to place your vehicle in a live-action setting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Gamer-inspired Vehicles:** The fusion of classic gaming and modern technology has created new possibilities in the automobile industry. - **Real-time Mapping:** Real-time mapping is no longer limited to GPS platforms, it has expanded into innovative industries like gaming and automobiles. - **Drivable Technology:** The integration of technology in automobiles has pushed the boundaries of traditional design and added a new layer of user experience. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can develop new products for gamers who are interested in owning drivable arcade games. - **Gaming:** Gaming companies can expand their reach beyond traditional consoles and platforms by incorporating drivable technology. - **Navigation and Mapping:** Navigation and mapping companies can adapt real-time mapping technology to explore opportunities outside of traditional GPS platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Game Style Navigation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/need-for-speed-mini-map.md) - [Game-Inspired Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inception-ev.md) - [Video Game-Inspired Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interoid-ev.md) - [Gaming-Inspired Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-subcompact-suv.md) - [Video Game-Like Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milano-vision-gt.md) - [Opulent Arcade Culture Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-black-badge-ghost-gamer.md) - [In-Car Gaming Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atari-and-airconsole.md) - [Pocket-Sized Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/segadbs.md) - [In-Car Gaming Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airconsole-x-audi.md)
