Google’s Street View cameras have been mounted on cars, boats, bikes, people, even camels. Add to the list a remote controlled catamaran and a Zip Line.
This catamaran, a Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel that keeps the camera steady even as the tide swells, and is operated by remote control. In other words, it's a water drone.
Google is teaming up with the nonprofit San Francisco Baykeeper to use Google Street View technology to map tides and sea level rise around the Bay. Here is the control boat - http://goo.gl/maps/GVPk2
Another new "vehicle" being used is a Zip Line in the Amazon rain forest.
Go for a ride on the zip line - http://goo.gl/maps/LZ4rV
