Sorry privacy-minded UK citizens, Google Street View is expanding even further into your backyard. The company's photography-based map imaging service has defeated several lawsuits in England and is now looking to expand its coverage--to footpaths.
Google is getting ready to dispatch an army of camera-armed bicycles--or Google Trikes--this summer to help map the country's footpaths. And they're not exactly being secretive about it. Google describes their Trikes as, "a mechanical masterpiece comprising 3 bicycle wheels, a mounted Street View camera and a very athletic cyclist in customised Google apparel."
Google is also asking UK residents to vote on which locations should be photographed.
