paul, I saw the Apple car Saturday morning at the Muscogee Rd fork.

And if you’re worried about the privacy issue–hope you don’t have a smartphone, a newer automobile, a smart TV, a computer, use the internet, etc.

@Mike You do not have an expectation of privacy in regards to the view of your property from a public right-of-way. You do have a right to plant trees, bushes, build a fence, etc. but that is where it ends.

I know at one point Google did recruit on Craigslist for contractors to drive the car for areas they were planning to map; obviously such specialized equipment belongs to Google and it is most likely shipped from place to place. Not sure if they use their own employees now or still contract out the gigs.

Just used google to look at Old Sacred Heart Hospital then I scrolled up to the new Publix but when I turned on Strong the store disappeared and it showed the empty lot. lol. When I went back to 12th up to Cervantes and turned right it showed Publix again but turning right on 11th it showed old N.B.Cook. Thought I was in the Twilight Zone. lol

Notice the Google car has a California license place. They may not be using local people in each geographic area. Perhaps the camera system has to be installed over there so therefore they have to drive the camera car across the country. I don’t like the privacy issues of our homes being shown all over the world. As mentioned in a comment here, I have seen homes blocked out from all angles, so it is possible. The only advantage in residential areas is when researching real estate.

Google Earth and Street View are neater than sliced bread.

Unless things have changed, you still have the option of blurring out your home face as well. Some of the smarter criminals can use the pictures to do a preliminary “casing” of homes via photos.
Don’t make it easy for them…make them guess and worry about overwhelming retaliation.
