Strange but true.
Google’s street-level mapping service a part from some privacy problems and had technical problems with visiting narrow streets which usually can be encountered in the oldest parts of the main European cities. To overcome this issue, the Street View Trike packs (the same 3D camera usually mounted on Google’s road-travelling Vauxhall Astra cars) will be fixed on a three-wheeled bike designed to negotiate footpaths and dirt tracks.
What I'm very proud of, is the fact the first city in the world to test such vehicle will be my home town, Genoa!
If you like your city being visible by Google Street View, suggest your location to Mountain View here! :)
