But we have allowed Google to bring their Street View cameras in to tour the MTC and enable people to see the facility where we produce our F1 cars, and where McLaren Applied Technologies apply F1 innovations to other industries.
The MTC itself is an award-winning icon of design, environmental efficiency and high technology.

We’re also updating our look with a new Google Maps icon that reflects the evolution we’ve made mapping the world. It’s based on a key part of Google Maps since the very beginning the pin. And represents the shift we’ve made from getting you to your destination to also helping you discover new places and experiences.
And because we can’t resist a good birthday celebration. Keep an eye out for our celebratory party-themed car icon. Available for a limited time when you navigate with Google Maps.
Made for you, on the go
We’re constantly evolving to help you get around no matter how you choose to travel. Our new transit features in the Google Maps app help you stay informed when you’re taking public transportation.
Last year. We introduced crowdedness predictions to help you see how crowded your bus. Train or subway is likely to be based on past rides. To help you plan your travels. We’re adding new insights about your route from past riders, so you’ll be able to see important details. such as:.
Temperature: For a more comfortable ride, check in advance if the temperature is considered by past riders as on the colder or warmer side.
Accessibility:. Accessible entrance and seating. Accessible stop-button or hi-visible LED.
Women’s Section: In regions where transit systems have designated women’s sections or carriages. We’ll help surface this information along with whether other passengers abide by it.
Security Onboard: Feel safer knowing if security monitoring is on board whether that’s with a security guard present, installed security cameras or an available helpline.
Number of carriages available:. In Japan only, you can pick a route based on the number of carriages so that it increases your chances of getting a seat.
These useful bits of information come from past riders who’ve shared their experiences. And will appear alongside public transit routes when available. To help future riders. You can answer a short survey within Google Maps about your experience on recent trips. We’ll start rolling this out globally in March, with availability varying by region and municipal transportation agency.
New trip attributes help you make informed decisions about your travel plans.
A sense of direction
Last year. We introduced Live View to help you quickly decide which way to go when you start a walking route with Google Maps. By combining Street View’s real-world imagery, machine learning and smartphone sensors. Live View in Google Maps shows you your surroundings with the directions overlaid in augmented reality.
Over the coming months. We’ll be expanding Live View and testing new capabilities. Starting with better assistance whenever you’re searching for a place. You’ll be able to quickly see how far away and in which direction a place is.
Live View will soon help you get oriented in the right direction in new ways.

Devon Island. A desolate land mass in Canada’s Arctic with a polar climate and treacherous terrain. Is the largest uninhabited island on Earth. Yet the factors that make the island unlivable also make it indispensable to the scientists and researchers who work there its climate and landscape are the closest thing to Mars that can be found on Earth.
Now anyone can visit “Mars on Earth” in Street View. Last year, I received a special invite from Dr. Pascal Lee, chairman of the Mars Institute. And director of the Haughton-Mars Project. To visit Devon Island. And learn about the research done there. We spent three months preparing for the expedition. And after 72 hours on seven flights. Found ourselves at basecamp surrounded by an untouched landscape.
Devon Island. Much like a future base on Mars.
Lacks the infrastructure we take for granted. All the supplies needed for camp food. Gasoline. Tools and personal supplies must be brought along on each excursion, and all the waste packed up and brought back to the mainland. At the research base, everyone has their job. Even Dr. Lee’s dog KingKong has a responsibility he’s there to serve as an advance warning in case a polar bear wanders into camp.
B) Rove around Mars on Earth in Street View.
Every morning, before heading out to collect Street View on ATVs. We would brief as a group to make sure everybody knew the plan that day: who was leading. Who would ride rear. And who was staying at camp to cook and handle maintenance. This provided a real insight into how humans who will go to Mars will explore the new planet: detailed planning and preparation is key.
Throughout the week. We rode to some of the places of most interest to NASA’s research and exploration: Haughton Crater. An impact crater 20-kilometers in diameter; Astronaut Canyon. Similar to many of the V-shaped. Winding valleys on Mars; and the ancient lake beds of Breccia Hills. What strikes you most about Devon Island is how vast and desolate everything is. Yet every rock, hill and canyon tells a story. Breccia Hills. For example. Is filled with shatter cones, rocks created by meteor impact millions of years ago.
NoneThe expedition used ATVs to get around the rocky terrain.

We were also able to capture our experience on a Pixel 3. Shooting the first-ever documentary filmed on Pixel to showcase just how majestic. And sometimes trying. Training for a Mars Mission on Devon Island can be.
