Google Street view?

by: nic

I think that I just caught a Google Street View car in action. I got behind it at Patterson and Libbie and followed it down Patterson into the city, until it turned left at Thompson. You can’t make it out in these poor camera phone pics, but the plates were from Cali. Keep an eye on the map of Richmond for improvements.
Google street view!

  4. Well, I was right next to it, and that camera is pretty high, so maybe not

  5. That’s so freaky! Good that you didn’t wreck your car in the course of pursuing the Googlemobile. Really, that pic you linked to with the whole fleet gave me a weird little chill. Such times we live in…

  7. That’s cool. Odds of seeing that car while just tooling around town are like winning the lotto. I’d rather win the lotto, but being in a Google street shot or entire street scene is a close 26th.
