Apple maps conquered MV: camera cars film our streets!

Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Apple has sent its camera cars into the race to bring the digital card world up to scratch. Roads and houses are currently being filmed so that Apple Maps users can soon navigate even better. A vehicle with Munich license plates was recently spotted in the Neubrandenburg city center. According to nnn, these camera trips have been in use nationwide on October 5, 2023.

The recordings are not only intended for the enrichment of Apple Maps, but also part of a larger plan to improve artificial intelligence (AI) in Apple's products. The surveys are supported by portable systems in pedestrian zones, such as in large cities such as Munich, where even a backpack with cameras is used. Apple wants to ensure that its card solutions always remain up to date and user -friendly.

data protection and objection

A crucial topic in these extensive data collection is data protection. In the sense of privacy, Apple has undertaken to make faces and license plates unrecognizable before the pictures are published. According to ZDF, the data protection law framework in Germany is clearly regulated, and all surveys are carried out under the supervision of the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision. Users can object at any time to the processing of their data, even if images have already been published.

In addition, real estate can be made unrecognizable on request. However, those affected must specify exactly which object it is, but the consumer center North Rhine-Westphalia can receive a sample text for an objection. This transparency is intended to ensure that those affected are informed about their rights at all times.

look into the future

in parallel to the camera trips, Apple plans to introduce the long -awaited "Apple Intelligence" function in October 2023, which will be compatible with the latest operating systems iOS 18.1, MacOS Sequoia 15.1 and iPados 18.1. According to [Apfelnews] (https://www.apfelnews.de/2024/25/welche-apple-geraete-intelligence- Unterstuetzen/), the AI support will bring many new functions that make the use of the Apple devices even more smarter. However, this innovation will initially not be available in Germany and other EU countries, and users have to wait until 2025 until the regulations of the digital market act are met.

It remains exciting how the map of Apple will develop and how Apple will master the challenges of data protection and user rights while at the same time finding new technologies into everyday life. We are looking forward to the coming months and what the future will bring us, even if some official cliffs have to be circulated by then.
