Not at this time but maybe in the near future?
The "digital" readout has nothing to do with your speed. It's just a digital "display" as opposed to an analog type "needle". Your tach only shows the engine revolutions, it just gets you TO the speed via your transmission.
By the way most cars have had electronic/digital speedometers/Tachs for years.
The tach is completely separate from your GPS-anything. The tach is controlled by the on board computer which controls ALL your engine and transmission information.
Maybe in the future the feds will "help" us drive better and have the vehicle only go as fast as the speed limit. More then likely it will control the speedometer and not the rpms. And more then likely from sensors in the ground as the satellites can have blind spots in tunnels, large trees, large downtown buildings in cities, etc. Satellites have to have "line of sight".
No these were taken by people with a digital camera. ------------------------------------------------------------------ The views are made by the camera being driven down the roads/streets in a van.
It's mostly the government and groups who restrict where you can drill for oil and restrict how many roads can be built and where the roads can be built.
google uses satellite photos, then pretty much cartoonizes the photo to make maps of roads and stuff like that
Counties are responsible for the maintenance of certain roads, usually back roads out of the city limits. Each state or jurisdiction determines what roads are maintained by the county, city or state.
The girl who is wearing blue in the digital playground ad is Rachel Giordano. She also appeared in a Lego ad in 1981.
You can see roads in most cities, country areas, and most places in the world. Just about everywhere where you need to walk in a certain path.
Roadblocks
To stop the movement of vehicles along a route or to close access to certain areas or roads.
I would suggest using MapQuest. They offer printable directions as well as interactive street views and satellite images. I hope you have a great trip!
A satellite map shows if its gonna rain or something like that
In some ways, yes. Government will allocate certain funds for roads and other things to cities.
Satellite photography, if done relatively close-up, can show discolorations in the ground that are invisible if you are standing there. Those discolorations indicate - often very clearly - the outline of ancient roads and buildings that once were located there. This helps archaeologists to dig and search in the exact right spots.
