> Production releases are expected to begin in the summer. Well, that's pretty lousy wording. Our planet has two completely opposite meanings of when exactly that is. For some of us, it's Dec → Feb. For others, it's definitely not. Kind of surprised a "global map" company doesn't seem to have picked up on that yet. ;)

rest assured, in any case they are not specifing what year will be.

  So effectively this statement is true 50% of the time (whenever there is summer in the northern or southern hemisphere?).

    The article starts with “San Fransisco”. It is clear which summer is meant.

      I was just continuing the parent comment's thinking - if they don't specify which year it will be, they might also not specify which summer?

Tbf, 90% of all people live in the northern hemisphere where most of the landmass is so you can kinda statistically figure out what they probably meant. Maybe it's one of those maps without New Zealand :P https://www.reddit.com/r/MapsWithoutNZ/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MapsWithoutNZ/

  When someone says to me "this summer" I tend to think they're meaning the end of the year. For me, that's when summer is. Many of the websites I visit use that same assumption too. It's the unusual ones (to me) that have a different meaning. It's not a huge deal or anything, it's just a super idiotic mistake for a "global map" company is all. ;)
