based on the description i'm assuming this is the easter egg. `At 1:03 the camera holds on the western ocean. There's a cave down there with a Borland in it (Zanderphagus scarii). I inject a bunch of fish in to coax him out. The wiki says he only comes out when there are enough fish. What isn't written there, is that it's also only at night but the game doesn't tell the player when that happens except for a toolbar image in the original game.`

I think the implication was that people stand around places where waymo goes often and just hold doors open for arriving waymo's to be "helpful". When the passenger leaves they just leave the door open for their doordash friends who are nearby

This is amazing. Many years ago I started a similar project that but with a more traditional word search style. This one is much better as I couldn't get the interface the way I wanted. Congrats!

I see they have a subscription and it requires an app. Does the app require an account and all that jazz or can I just use it without giving away anything?

Isn't this what amazon's Whispernet is for? Always on low power bluetooth listeners embedded in echos and other amazon devices. If the TV supports it and you don't have an echo it can use your neighbor's echo/internet to send telemetry data.
