An unmarked mini-van with rooftop cameras that is reportedly leased to Apple, has been spotted on video in Palo Alto. The video of the van was recorded as it drove past Juana Briones Park on Clemo Avenue -- a residential street located just 10 miles away from Apple's headquarters in Cupertino.
A similar van was spotted earlier this month in Palo Alto and some believed that Apple was simply working on ways to improve its Maps application. Apple could be working on a feature similar to Google's Street View; however, with recent reports indicating that Apple is working on an electric self-driving vehicle, this van could be related to those efforts.
Both Google and Tesla are heavily invested in self-driving vehicles, so it is interesting to see Apple explore this project. Apple is clearly in very early research and development stages, but we can't wait to see what the company has planned.
