Hmm, nice, is it all just lights assigned to spheres with looks_like, or are
there buildings and things in there too?

Brilliant idea.
I'd move the transition-point between the red taillights and white headlights to
the far end of the figure-eight. While it's a cool demonstration of the
one-sidedness of a mobius strip, it ruins the illusion of driving round and
round forever --- when you reach that spot, you have to turn around *and* drive
in reverse!

I see no strips.

Do you mean the two points on the figure of 8 where the observer ceases to
see the headlights from a stream of traffic heading towards the camera and
starts to see the taillights of that stream of cars as they head away from
the camera?

Actually, I went back to MegaPOV and dusted off the glows. ~60000 Glows, three
fogs, a sky sphere, and a plane.

To be fair, each glow has a position and velocity on the curve. The coloring is
based solely on whether it's approaching or leaving the camera. If you trace
your fingers around a figure eight, there's really no ambiguity despite what it
may look like.
