You have the chance of appearing on Google maps, as the Google camera car has been spotted driving throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn over the past several days taking streetscapes for the site.

The camera car, which is a grey sedan adorned with Google logos and camera device on top, is used for taking the street view pictures seen on Google maps. Supposedly, the car is updating the street views of New York, which tend to change quickly.

So, what are you waiting for? Go outside and increase your chances of seeing yourself eternally (or at least until the next update), on the Google maps.
