Yet Another Street View of Google’s Cars
Photo by Dan Gouge.
Spotted! Again! One of Google’s Street View cars! This time by reader Dan Gouge, who sent us the shot above, of a car prowling Leslie and Commissioners Streets at 10:30 this morning, which means that Google isn’t resting like we are this holiday Monday. Like the car another reader caught at the start of this month, this one’s a Chevy Cobalt sedan, but it’s not identical: the first car was green and its license place was BFEM 862; this one’s purple and its license plate is BFEM 859. We’re sensing a trend.
Even though Google told the Post that Street View will launch in the “coming weeks,” the cars still being actively out and about probably doesn’t indicate any delay in that: according to the Star, Google already has an ample supply of photos from late 2007 to use, and for the sake of our privacy they’ll be automatically blurring out human faces and…license plates. So, uh, never mind that last paragraph.
