Watch this: How Google Captures 3D Images for Immersive View

Waze, meanwhile, will support reporting of new camera types that are starting to appear at different intersections, such as cameras that specialize in detecting if drivers are wearing their seatbelt or if they're texting. Like with safety hazards, drivers will be able to self-report these cameras, and alerts will warn other drivers as they approach these locations. Waze says that camera reporting is one of the app's most popular features, and it hopes that allowing reporting encourages drivers to obey those regulations.
Waze will also receive alerts for how events could affect your route -- for instance, if a concert or a parade might bring substantially more traffic than usual. For additional convenience, Waze plans to bring navigation guidance onto a phone's lock screen, allowing for directions and alerts while a device is locked. These lock screen navigation features are set to come to Android next month and onto iOS this fall.
While Google Maps and Waze will remain separate navigation apps, user reports made in one app will increasingly pop into the other, with an additional message noting if a report was originally made in Google Maps or Waze.
