The Google car was spotted on the streets of Milan this year. The circles in the image show 2 SICK laser sensors mounted with the rest of the sensor platform.
Sensor 1 is mounted to scan horizontally and sensor 2 is mounted so as to scan vertically.
Dr. Avideh Zakhor had presented her research on using a similar setup to perform 3D modeling of cities at Google in 2006. Wonder if this new sensing platform shown above is based on the research done by Fruh and Zakhor.
