Going for a stroll to the grocery store, and BAM! Whats up Google?

Can't tell. I don't think it was driverless because it turned around down there in the grass and came up the alley towards me.

In the first picture you posted you can clearly see a driver's arm..  They've gotten a lot prettier since I last saw one.

I'm sure it takes a few weeks.. they have to process all the images, run it through the filters that blur signs, etc. 

Check in a month

Jesus, do they always cause the pavement to crack like that?

That's awesome I wonder how many cars google has like that for Google Street View O:

 

[drmike]

Oh great Google out snooping some more.  Wait this is supposed to be useful to me somehow.

In other news, last week a Court held Google was liable in the US for sniffing wifi info.  Some 600GB worth of randomness collected.   They are to turn it over as per Court order.  Facing a big stiff fine.  But we all know the government is immune from such.   So a love tap at best for their token disguise corp.

I wonder what its like to drive that thing. All the stares and honking.

Cool stuff nonetheless. Very rare occasion to see it in person

Seen them on the highway around here...must of been in a rush for coffee cause they were doing at least 120+kmph down a 90kmph highway to reach the Timmies in the next town over lol

 

[rds100]

That street looks terrible, man It needs serious repair.

This sumer they remapped a lot of the area around where I live. Saw one on a random street one week, and then a few weeks later I saw another on the highway on my way home from work. 

Both had drivers, and both drivers were different.
