Does anyone have a photo of one of these vehicles? I'd love to see it.
Apple is certainly in the long game with their maps... One interesting thing to point out is that while google streetview started as a project to augment the maps with photos, it quickly became clear that these photos of the streets could be a primary way to gather accurate real-world data about the streets, one-way signs, street numbers, and so on. Clearly Apple is up to the same thing here.

- arthurcolle 11y agoThey aren't very aesthetically pleasing...
- happyscrappy 11y agoWell they are not taking selfies.
- LoneWolf 11y agoSo what? Not everything apple does has to be shiny. If they do the job, why bother?
- cpmsmith 11y agoInteresting to note from the photo that Maps has its own subdomain. I'd bet on a web interface in the near-ish future.
- JoblessWonder 11y agoThat van isn't available in the US (much to the consternation of my employer who wants them to go along with their Sprinter fleet...) In the US they will be using Dodge Caravans. Here is a YouTube video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GONB3cezusI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GONB3cezusI
