Google could use spy drones for UK mapping
« on: August 09, 2010, 20:39 »
Google could be allowed to use unmanned spy drones in the UK to gather information for its Google Maps and Street View services.

The news follows reports that the web giant had ordered at least one drone from German company Microdrones, which has supplied unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to UK police and special forces.

"The drones are well suited to deliver up-to-date image material for Google Maps," Microdrones CEO Sven Juerss told business publication Wirtschafts Woche.
