We have a curious case of accident documentation when Google Maps Street View captured a motorcyclist who crashed into the Google car. Look at the details, in this note!
Technology has the potential to improve lives and make everything easier, but sometimes it leads to situations that are unbelievable. For example, have you ever spent an afternoon or evening looking at Google Maps StreetView where you can “walk” the streets of a city seeing the world in three dimensions. Laugh fun! Now, what happens if with this same technology you now come across photos of an accident involving the very car that took the images?
A viral video with some images from Senegal caused the curiosity of the internet by showing a unique view of an accident. It turns out that there is a series of coordinates where if you follow a certain direction as a timeline you will see a cyclist approaching the Google car that is taking the photos and eventually crashes it.
Thus, as the car takes 360-degree images, you have minute by minute how the car hits it head-on, and ends up on the hood. The worst – at first glance it gives the feeling that it followed long. Most inexplicable of all – the road was empty. How did they crash? I couldn’t even go out like this on purpose.

The pictures taken for Google Maps Street View They are quite curious and inexplicable. The motorcyclist is clearly ahead, and takes a U-turn in the middle of the road. As he does this, he comes around and Google’s car hits him. Thus, the motorcyclist flies off and hits the hood, while the motorcycle may have been left under the car.
Although it is very curious and morbid, Google which is not stupid and removed the images from the service and replaced them with photos where the street looks clean. Mind you – imagine if there was a trial or something and they could use the Maps as evidence.
