It took Google years to get Street View right, with massive amount of engineering talent and financial capital committed along the way.
12 months would be extremely challenging even for Apple. As for 10 days... well let's just say I'd be a bit unhappy, if ChuckMcM was my program manager :p
- ChuckMcM 14y agoYou overlook a couple of things, first is that Streetview has already been 'done' so there are a number of things which are more straight forward (do you recall how quickly Microsoft duplicated it relative to Google's effort?) and the second is that yes doing it in a year would be extreme. That said, if you had been unemployed for over a year and I said, I've got a really simple job for you that will last at least a year, you drive this car up and down every street in the town at the legal limit. I'll pay you $400/week with benefits. Probably pretty appealing to you.
