This year marks the 15th anniversary of the official establishment of Google Street View. In order to celebrate, Google recently announced that it has developed a new street view camera, which is small in size and light in weight and can be installed on any vehicle. According to official sources, this new car camera is roughly the same size as a cat and weighs only 15 pounds (7 kg) . It will be officially launched next year. Because it is small enough to be taken anywhere on earth, it is very suitable for use in areas that have not been widely mapped, such as the Amazon rainforest.

In addition, this camera supports customization and can be equipped with lidar, so that more detailed images can be obtained, such as lane markings, speed limits, and even potholes.
