Creepy. I did a virtual "Drive-by". My car was out front on the street, and our driveway was empty and the caught some creep dood with tats walking down the lane behind our house. I wonder if they ever catch any criminals on video while they're doing their surveys.

I personally think this is great.
I don't find it creepy or bad at all. they are just showing what any person could see if they were walking on public property down the street. Except when they go down a private drive. But to be fair the drive would need to be labled if they didn't want people driving down it. I think they technology is really cool, and I look forward to the day when all of the US is covered.

Imagine taking a vitural road trip.

Scary stuff!!! At least they took the photo of our house when the truck was washed and the lawn was fertilized and cut.

Dang you guys have a lot of trash. Not nice to Google drive on trash day. It's like airing out your laundry at a laundromat, not cool.

I wonder if they put cameras on trash trucks. You figure they always make their way down all the streets. Same with the mailman..
