Google Street View Wants You to Direct New Tricycle Imager
An anonymous reader writes "Google is taking suggestions for where you'd like to see the new Street View Trike go. Your favorite park, hiking trail, zoo, school campus hangout or outdoor mall could be going online thanks to Google Street View's new 250 pound tricycle, complete with camera and GPS. According to the press release: 'The Street View trike began as a 20% project by Daniel Ratner, a Senior Mechanical Engineer on the Street View team. "I began thinking about building a bicycle-based Street View system after realizing how many interesting places around the world — ranging from historic landmarks to beautiful trails to shopping districts — aren't accessible by car," says Dan. "When I'm riding the trike, so many people come up to me and ask where it's off to next or how they can get imagery of their favorite spot, so I can't wait to see what our users come up with."'"
Whoa, there's an awesome streetview of San Diego State University in there!
I wonder if the camera is sensitive enough to see the classroom overcrowding, herpes under the skirts of sorority sisters, and traces of cocaine on the Homeland Security majors' noses!
Let's send it to that stalked ladys house: Amber Duick
Toyota emails will have nothing on the Google trike showing up in her back yard.

I say the first place we should go is this guy's hiking trials.

Maybe if they would have leveraged Dan more than 20% for this project, he could have put together a collection method that didn't involve a 250 pound trike.

The riverwalk's river is caked with duck shit and the pathways are cluttered with unscrupulous ethnic merchants trying to hock cheap shit up the asses of giddy uniformed basic training grads and their fat, ugly girlfriends.
But as far as Texas goes, yeah, the riverwalk is a pretty nice.
This is just the beginning. Next up,

I would suggest taking the trike for an evening spin through Nickerson Gardens in Watts. I think even my fellow privacy advocates would be supportive of such an expedition.
