The Google car...

J86 · 19 Mar 2009 at 23:20

Ok so the Google car came down my road today with the camera stuff on the roof.. so I went out in to my driveway and pulled a "macho pose"..

My mate said they remove people from their images before they go up.. but if that is the case, why did that drunk bloke on his front lawn end up on there?

that is all

Somebody I know is in one of the pictures :confused:

You'd better hope they don't photoshop you... could be even worse than being brushed out.

They don't remove them, they just blur the faces..

Just for fun?

Take a look on street view, they just blur your face.

Can you request to have offices/houses removed from google street view? for privacy/security?

I drove next to one today on a dual carriageway in stoke. Would it have been working or is it just residential streets?

How do you do street views?

Seen another of the google cars waiting to board the HSS to belfast in stranraer a good few months back.

Would be a pretty easy job i'd imagine. Wonder what kinda money they get paid.

We had the Google cars come on site at Lotus and go around the test track a while back. Still waiting for them to put our area live though.
