Google Streetview Camera Car in Sydney

Exciting news! I’ve spotted a Google streetview car in Sydney! Hopefully this means that Google Maps Sydney will soon get a street view so that we can play fun privacy invasion games.

Google Street View Car

It’s a little hard to tell thanks to the crappy camera on my mobile phone, but with some squinting you can see the camera mounted on a 1.5-ish metre support bracket on the hood of the car. You can also see the Google decal on the side, providing awesome aerodynamic characteristics to the car.

    Great! I was hoping that Google would get some photos of Australia before their contract runs out next year.
