I'm at the Google campus in Mountain View, a couple of times a month so I thought I would post some pic's since I'm a big fan of Google in general. Also, check out the link at the end. Google is notorious for Internet April Fools jokes.



Google Maps Street View Cars



The Android building - Outside of the building represents all the different Android OS's


Autonomous Car - It drives itself - If you notice the guy on the bike, there are 1000's of these bike for anyone to use, to go from building to building


Google April Fools 2012 - None of this is real!

So they use Subaru Imprezas, but obviously don't have any kind of deal with Subaru since they cover the emblem.

They use a bunch of different cars I think.  Pretty sure I see different ones in photos.

The "self driving car" in the picture is a Prius. I have seen different types of cars, for both the Google Street Maps & the Autonomous program around the campus

I know the autonomous is a Toyota Prius.  But every time I've seen a Google Maps car in-person and pictures, it's always an Impreza.

I think the picture is one of the original cars....it has been on display for about 3-4 years at the campus.

Longboard, do you work at google?

I saw the self-driving car on the freeway today. A black garbage bag flew up and got caught on the windshield and the people in the car looked like they were freaking out.
