Windows Local Live (formerly Virtual Earth) will soon allow you to 'drive' around two US cities. Windows Live Local: StreetSide Edition will initially cover Seattle and San Francisco but should be expanded in the future to includ other US cities.

StreetSide allows you to sit inside a car (and possibly other vehicles or maybe by foot) and tour the downtown areas of each city. Watch out for a preview release later this week.
