Google has made an update to its Street View function, and here’s how they did it: they mounted a camera to a tricycle, which will map out places that cars cannot go. The goal is to give users a look at places that cars can’t access, for example, university campuses, hiking trails, and theme parks. The “Trike” that is being used weighs 115 kilograms and has a GPS unit on the handlebars. The camera constantly takes still pictures, which are then put together into a panoramic picture. The new and improved Street View will be available at the end of the summer.
