The panoramic images taken from cars are increasingly used to enrich the Google Maps service, and the choice to leave so suddenly the program started in Germany is almost inexplicable.
The company simply stated that "The priorities are to use the Google car to get data such as street names and road signs to improve our base maps available to users, similar to what other companies are dealing with map the streets.

The material so far collected by the Google car in Germany will still be used without future updates. And the abandonment of Google goes to Microsofts that soon the streets will beat Germany for its Streetside, service navigation Bing Maps.
