![]() Google’s lead in data is reminiscent of Apple’s lead in smartphones in 2007. (Often in map licensing agreements, if you stop licensing the data, you lose the right to anything that was derived from it.) ↩︎ġ1 Assuming Google’s efforts don’t slow (and they show no sign of slowing), is it even possible for Apple to catch up to Google? And because of this, it can do things with its data that Apple might be restricted from doing (because Apple seems to license most of its data from third-parties). ↩︎ġ0 Another advantage of Google collecting its own data is that it owns everything it collects. Now to keep up with Google, you also have to process that data and make new features out of it. It’s no longer enough to simply collect data. (I.e., San Francisco would seem to be the perfect test ground, given its high density of businesses and year-round good weather, minus Karl.) ↩︎ĩ It’s interesting to ponder what this means for Google’s competitors. ↩︎Ĩ Given how many Apple employees live in and around San Francisco, you’d expect that San Francisco would be one of the first places where Apple would be extracting place data from imagery. But these buildings are handmade by artists rather than by algorithms. ↩︎ħ There’s a small number of buildings, such as Apple’s Cupertino campuses, that Apple is making itself. It’s cool to see how cleverly Google is using its own byproducts. Today, Kingsford is still the leading manufacturer of charcoal in America. He built a charcoal plant and Ford Charcoal was created (later renamed Kingsford Charcoal). From Rework by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson: Henry Ford learned of a process for turning wood scraps from the production of Model T’s into charcoal briquets. (I.e., Google feels its place data is accurate enough to build new features off of it.) ↩︎Ħ This whole “byproduct” thing reminds me of Kingsford Charcoal’s origin story. ↩︎ĥ AOIs also say a lot about Google’s confidence in the accuracy of its place data and its ability to keep AOIs up-to-date. In rural areas, addresses often correspond to mailboxes that aren’t anywhere near their respective houses: 14Ĥ “Google has said surprisingly little about how it’s making AOIs.” Google’s secretiveness in how it’s making AOIs has been somewhat to its detriment, as bloggers and journalists have drawn their own (sometimes unflattering) conclusions. But you can’t call a self-driving car and say “oh, I live in the white building and the door is around the corner”.Īddress issues like these aren’t unique to cities. So the drivers either pull up to the correct building address and don’t see a door, or they pull up to a door that has a wildly different address on it.įor the moment, it’s a pretty minor issue-the easiest solution is just for the drivers to call the rider, and it works itself out. See, the address of my building is on a main street, but the actual entrances are on the sides of the building-and when I drop a pin at those locations, Uber maps them to nonexistent addresses. And I’m not alone-here’s Nilay Patel, writing in The Verge: I call an Uber to my apartment building, and the driver gets lost because they can’t find the door. That’s because half the time I request a ride, I have to text/call the driver to coordinate my pickup spot. If you do reinstall the app, be sure to do a chat backup beforehand.That sounds great-but living in San Francisco, it’s hard to imagine this working smoothly.
