This looks pretty but what's in it for me? The service is proprietary - it's a data silo with some very restrictive T&C's.<p>They are using Open Street Map for some of it and I'm already a happy contributor to that open platform. Maybe I missed it in the press release reprinted by petapixel.com but I don't see what financial incentive contributors have. Maybe I'm out of touch but saying I'm 'empowered' and that this is 'crowdsourced' isn't that interesting.
Article doesn't mention it, but photos are available under CC BY-SA 4.0. Important bit to know for those people who don't want a repeat of CDDB.<p>For one thing, work is already being done on some Mapillary integrations with OpenStreetMap as an extra data source for figuring out ground truth when mapping.
all those pictures, all this data, why doenst anyone use photogrammetry to generate 3D models of streets instead of clunky photo panoramas?<p>We should have detailed 3D maps of whole cities by now.
