Google Maps and its Street View project have pulled out one of the most basic of all forms of transport to bring the most detailed mapping and filming of storefronts, houses, people and streets … the tricycle.
In order to get to those public places which cars cannot, like busy tourist areas and small alleyway style roads in Europe and Japan, Google has enlisted a fleet of tricycles, the Google Street View Trikes.
PC World has a collection of images of the Google Street View Trikes.
I can’t wait until Google throws helmet cams on people and sends them into subway tunnels or where ever the trike can’t go.
Like the Borg?
Yes Nick, you right!! :) May be Google will do it to scan every cm2 of earth..
Hmm, i am a little bit worrying about under sea level scanning :)
This is a great idea. I think that it can really make people see the world in a completely different way and see things they may not necessarily get to see.
thankks you
