![]() It’s hoped that this new Driving Mode feature in Street View will help to democratize the service and reduce some of the privacy concerns raised, particularly where people who thought they were in private were scuppered by a car with a camera mounted on a pole. Street View also already accepts content contributed from other users, but most people don't own a full 360° camera. Google has already expanded out from the ‘Google Car’ model, with items such as backpacks and bikes, giving images of areas where cars cannot reach. Although captures won’t be in full 360°, it’s hoped that with enough contributions, the images can be stitched together into a panorama such as those created by a proper Google mapping car. Perfecting this technology will allow Google to accelerate its goal of keeping Google Maps up-to-date.
