Google Maps Is Turning 20 — It'S Mapping Three More Countries And Adding Ai Capabilities

Two decades ago, Google co-founder Larry Page had an idea that would forever change the way we navigate the world."Larry drove down some of these streets with a video camera and handed it to someone and said, 'Hey, what can you do with this?'" said Maria Biggs, technical program manager at Google Street View, a prominent feature in Google Maps.In a car equipped with the latest Street View camera, Biggs took CNBC on a ride near Google's Silicon Valley headquarters. First introduced in 2022, it's the first camera model that can be added onto any car, rather than being built into the vehicle."We're going to Hawaii with these next generation camera systems because we don't have to ship the whole car," Biggs said. "We can just put the camera system in a box and ship it there and then rent the car when we're there."Biggs said the new technology will allow Google to update data on some places for the first time in 10 years."We're going to be able to easily move these cameras around and have more freshness in our maps," she said.With more than 2 billion monthly users, Google Maps is the world's top navigation app. As Maps approaches its 20th anniversary in February, Google is working hard to keep that lead, with the help of the new cameras, as well as generative artificial intelligence.The more nimble cameras are allowing Google to make updates to dozens of countries. It's also mapping at least three new ones — Bosnia and Herzegovina, Namibia, and Liechtenstein. Street View cameras are a significant part of how Google gathers data for Maps, but it also relies on satellite and aerial images, and information from more than 1,000 third-party sources, such as local governments and users

Wayfair Cto On Bringing Ai Into The Virtual Living Room

Optimization plays a central role in business growth, whether it’s through adopting new technologies, rethinking operational workflows or introducing innovative products and services. Amid all the technologies out there today, businesses looking to unlock greater optimization capabilities are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI). In retail and eCommerce alone, AI and generative AI applications are reshaping the way consumers shop, businesses operate and supply chains function. “The speed at which AI capabilities have advanced, from text models to multimodal and reasoning agents, has been remarkable,” Fiona Tan, CTO at Wayfair, said during a discussion for the PYMNTS series “When Chatbots Go Shopping: How GenAI Is Shaking Up the Retail Status Quo.”
