Google Street View Car

You've probably used Google Street View at some point to scope out a neighborhood or business before you actually go there (or to see what your boss's house looks like), but how exactly is Google getting those 360-degree images? Sure, it's a camera on a car, which works great for city streets. Now Google Street View is expanding to places no VW Beetle has gone before: theme parks, zoos, sports arenas, college campuses and historic sites. How? Behold the new Google Street View Trike.

 A delightful marriage of high and low tech, the Street View Trike is exactly what is sounds like: a mountain bike with two rear wheels, between which is mounted the camera equipment. Got a request for the Trike? Google invites you to add to the suggestion box. You've got until October 28 to post your suggestions.
