This morning by chance my dad saw a car labeled with the Google logo and mounted with various cameras and technical equipment in front of our house when leaving. A few meters and seconds later he took this and other photos out of his car:

Google Streetview Car

I wonder when this data will go online. But what strikes me most is that Google does this at all in Germany, since I’m sceptic that they have any chance winning all those lawsuits this will provoke. There are just too many people that have problems with this for some reason and our law isn’t very liberal when it comes to privacy concerns either.
 

P.S.
Unfortunately you cannot see the Google logo since it was on the driver’s side.
