The history of Street View vehicles

11/17/12 09:19 PM

On May 25. 2007 a new aera in Internet began with Google's new feature: Street View.

It all began with San Francisco, Las Vegas, Denver, Miami, New York City in United States. The images wasn't very good but it's allways hard in the beginning. Today, 5 years later, the images are very sharp and clear.

Here are images caught on Street View of vehicles, some mirrored in windows:

They have also had a camera on snowmobile used at various ski resorts and backpacker cameras in museums and the latest project, the Grand Canyon.
