this looks pretty cool.
since it curves the the 3d map, what would it look like when you are driving through downtown highrises? would the tops of the buildings clash into each other?
what about steep uphill/downhill sections ?

#92This would look great on an iPad mini running as the vehicle display. And likely in most EVs. It's completely wild that they're trying to patent a visualization that already existed in multiple movies.
...and they're promoting it by referencing said movies.

#94Patent Pending? Any patent attorneys here know what exactly about this is "patent-able"?
My understanding of the legal field is it's less about the actual law and more about how much you're willing to spend.

#96I almost immediately click-dragged into a nearby building by accident, and am fascinated by how this engine attempts to extrapolate the inside of the building using only information about the outside. It's kind of surreal, and slightly more convincing than it feels like it should be at times

#97The top down view of upcoming traffic complications ahead of a forward angled view of your surroundings seems incredibly practical to me.
I'm fortunate to not suffer motion sickness in general, but I showed this to my wife for 5 seconds and she was feeling motion sick.
Personally, I love it. It's fun, and I look forward to using it one day in lieu of exclusively top down or forward angled alone nav tools.

#98Great idea and demo. My main gripe when using Google Maps in the car is lack of information about the next turns — when do I change lanes, and to which one? This could be natively addressed here, especially if the blue navigation line was a little thinner and showed which lane(s) the driver needs to take.
This comment confuses me a bit because Google Maps (at least in the US, in my experience) is really great about telling you what lane to be in.

#100This looks pretty neat but also distracting and not very convenient. A useful follow mode should provide a view into the next several dozen seconds of road conditions. This projection forces road sections after sharp turns to go off screen, and does nothing to compensate for that (e.g. by rotating the view), so the distance and time of useful prediction changes constantly. Since you're already willing to give the dri…
