What kind of person drives a Honda? Apparently any kind. A new, interactive commercial by the car company shows a double-sided story. While watching the commercial on a [special YouTube landing page](https://www.youtube.com/user/HondaVideo), you can press the “R” button on your keyboard in order to switch between story lines.

One story follows a dad picking up his children from school, the other a getaway driver. [Try it yourself](https://www.youtube.com/user/HondaVideo). The videos are perfectly parallel.
