Mapping a road and photographing it for StreetView are also not the same thing.

Mapping a road and photographing it for StreetView are also not the same thing.
- CamperBob2 9y agoWhy not? If they're "driving" the roads (their term), they're presumably photographing them. You don't need to drive the road just to map it.
- Piskvorrr 9y agoBecause the Street View rig is expensive to manufacture; ordinary "driving the roads" can be done with normal vehicles. (Heck, you could even source data from usual drivers, if you owned e.g. Waze)
