Toyota iQ Finds the Tightest Streets for Google Street View

Belgium has many small, narrow streets, Google Street View, which launched there last year, was never able to capture all of its nooks and crannies. To solve the problem, Happiness Brussels and Toyota Belgium created iQ Street View," to promote the small, nimble car, as well as give Google a hand in the process. The iQ was fitted out with a 360-degree camera, with all the equipment needed to capture the data stored inside the car -- another opportunity to show off how spacious it is. People are asked to tag the streets that Google did not manage to film on the site The car will then drive along those streets, capturing the data, which will be handed over to Google at the end of the year. Those living in the tagged streets -- the narrowest roads of Belgium -- will be directly targeted with an offer for the iQ.

Google Play - Everything In One Place Web Film Promo Ad

Google introduces us to the newly redesigned Google Play with this cool new web video ad campaign created by Studio G. Check out more of how Google Play puts everything in one place here.

The film was a combination of practical, and post production effects. According to producer Yovel Schwartz, the contraption that stars in the film “did in fact work. It required five or six people to puppeteer on set, all of whom were also involved in building it.” The shoot actually required two cases–”one with the functioning guts and one slightly smaller one that we comped the mechanical innards into during post,” Schwartz says. “Most of what you’re seeing at its base is from a continuous take–take 15 to be precise, with the Rubik’s Cube section being stitched in from take 14.”

Lyrics:
Yo, I run a few searches before the big flight,
To save me more time on this magical night.
I type [sunrise and city] of my last stop,
I got plenty of time before my last drop.

If I don't know the time in a certain city,
I peep it on search before my chimney shimmy.
Tyle [time and town] before I come into town,
To see if Johnny's in bed before I hit ground.

Go Santa, Santa work it!
Go Santa, Santa search it!

But before I go flying through the frosty air,
I do a weather search to decide what to wear.
Mrs. Clause, should I bring my extra warm down jacket?
[Mrs. Clause]: Hmmm, yes. You should definitely pack it.
And please pack these cookies that I baked for you.
Shhhhh! I researched the recipe with recipe view,
And used the low cal filter, I must admit:
I wanna make sure that jacket still fits!

Go Santa, Santa work it!
Go Santa, Santa search it!

Check one, check two: yes I check twice.
Santa's Google Doc called 'Naughty and nice.'
With control+F, I find a name in the doc n',
I hope I don't have to put coal in a stockin'

When I'm cruising in my sleigh with my hands on the reigns,
Voice input is handy, 'cause typing is a pain.
If on a wish list I spot a gift I never heard: schlittschuhe,
I use the translate app to speak the foreign word.

Go Santa, Santa work it!
Go Santa, Santa search it!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho.

Go Santa, Santa work it!
Go Santa, Santa search it!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Yeah!
