Abstract Drivers engage in the same kind of enjoyment as the classic flâneurs. They take an interest in the visual appearance of the social interactionSocial interaction in the vicinity. A modern driver-flâneur would not mind sharing music listeningMusic listening , which currently is a private matter, with fellow road users. More so, he/she would particularly enjoy listening into the music being played in other cars. Here the visual appearance would be complemented with personally selected sounds. Such an approach to the design of social media for drivers would draw upon the things the driver pays attention to anyway, namely encountering other fellow drivers and their vehicles as part of the collaborative and situated work of moving the vehicle, and add a novel flavor to it to tease the driver’s curiosity and thereby enrich the experience of being in traffic.
