These things tend to block your view. You can’t really look behind them in a simple (essentially 2D) panoramic image. They only represent one snapshot in time vs. a broader/more virtualized essence of the place. They make it confusing to add dynamic versions of the same things on top of what’s permanently baked into the imagery.” [...] [...] As Avi Bar-Zeev suggested, a better idea would be to remove people and cars from the images. “The main reason for removing people and cars is the same reason you’d want the base Google Earth imagery to lack clouds.

The equipment on the car is various lidar sensors for near and far sensing ranges. Add to that video cameras and a GPS/IMU as well. About the same time, a Berkley based company called Urban Scan was aquired by someone, but the purchaser was kept hush-hush. They take lidar and video camera data and produce 3D virtual models from that. My sense is that Google bought them and is going to use this to map cities with it to a high degree of fidelity. http://www.redorbit.com/news/technology/940919/google_drives_stanley/index.html?source=r_technology Google just licensed the Stanford Racing Team’s Urban Cahllenge technology.
