We know from Valleywag that Brin & Page wanted to use (ecological) Toyota Prius instead of these car, but it wasn't possible. http://valleywag.com/357517/sergey-stymied-prius-doesnt-work-for-google-street-view |

Did you notice the Google logo on the left side of the car keeps changing position? |

Interesting. Those are SICK laser scanners on the pole. Looks like they're gathering 3D laser data. |

Yes I can confirm the news! Two days ago I see the car when going home from the university. I saw the car in Rome, near cinecittà est (where the studios are located!) and the car was the same of the image on top page! ;) |

"...part of a crowd and not the center of attention."
I like it. "Your honor, the rest of the crowd is in the back ground and hard to see but I swear it is a crowd".
What exactly defines a crowd and the center of attention???

There've been a few of these in Manchester, England recently. A friend tells me that he saw bikes with poles on the back for use in the pedestrian zones in town, and on the University campus. |
