Old arcade game?

If you jumped buses, it was Atari Stunt Cycle (1976).

Basically a clone of Atari Night Driver
(http://www.pipeline.com/~jhardie/gallery/coinop/nightdrv.jpg), which I
believe owns the title as the original "black & white dots" driving
game. I don't recall what Atari's earlier entry (the first driving game)
called Gran Trak looked like. Another well-known example was 280ZZZAP.
