Tricycle? The extra weight from the camera and other stuff probably adds at least 100 lbs.

I would pedal that bike wearing a shirt that says: "flash your *explicit* if you love Google" :3

All the conflicts with the Google street car having people blocking the car and unhappy campers not wanting their houses to be posted on the internet, with a tricycle the person will get his ass kicked and jacket lol!!!

This Tricycle will allow access to places where cars can't get, so basically what, private walkways, popular tourist areas with pedestrian-only access, etc..? These new photos will be covered 90% by blurred-out faces.

I'd volunteer to pedal around my neighborhood in a google shirt as long as they offer insurance lol.

Next, they'll have a 360 camera mounted to a cap, and then we can map out the interior of buildings

On google earth, if you fly into some building like those parking towers, you can actually see the basic architecture

This is pretty cool. I can't even imagine the shitstorm this will cause though.

I just hope the poor guy riding that thing doesn't have to go up any steep hills with all that extra weight in the back.

Paris..? No that's Roma..

Enlarge the view, you can see it is motorized. Just gotta keep an eye on the batteries, and the angry mobs.

Yea that guy driving that will probably get stoned in some of the more conservative neighborhoods in europe. I can see quite a few communitees sueing google for privacy reasons too. At what point does the side walk the bike is on become private property vs. public. I bet that its different depending on the country.

Wow. Nothing gonna stop big brother now . I would like to see if they manage to get that thing not only into but all through the Vatican or how about they take the trikie and go back to that village in the UK that chased out the google car. Maybe they will like the tricycle better.
