Gone In 60 Seconds

Project Title: “SpeedWatch: Car Heist Surveillance”

Description:

Inspired by “Gone in 60 Seconds,” where Nicolas Cage’s character leads a high-stakes mission to steal 50 cars in one night, “SpeedWatch: Car Heist Surveillance” is a web application that uses the Intersection Observer API to monitor and manage a virtual garage of high-value cars. This tool is designed for car showroom managers or security personnel to keep a vigilant eye on precious vehicles, using web technology to alert when cars enter or leave the display area, similar to tracking stolen vehicles in the film.

Beginner Hints:

• Create a single index.html file.
• Copy the full HTML code block into that file.
• Open index.html in your browser. If something doesn’t work, try a local server like python -m http.server.
• Open DevTools Console to spot errors and typos quickly.
