Google goes three wheeling

Is it going green?
Maybe it is a response to increased fuel costs.
Nope!
Google is using large (heavy?) tricycles to provide street views of parks and paved trails.
I wonder what they will do to protect the peddlers from those that hate Google's "spying"?

New Speed Camera

You can see the cop car or motorcycle on the side of the road and you know where the red light cameras are, but you can't see a satellite while you are driving down the road.
Fortunately, that is not quite how they are changing the way they track speeders in the UK (likely because of the expense of an actual speed camera in space).
The plane is to combine license reading cameras, computers and a GPS satellite system to clock average speed between points.
I don't know about you, but I am thinking of those James Bond rolling license plate gizmos.
