<p>I recently saw a strange car standing outside my house. I'm pretty sure it's the Google Street View car taking photos of Cologne! I managed to take some pictures...</p>I'm sorry for the bad image quality but I only had my mobile on me and the camera is pretty bad...<br/> There is this tripod construction on top of the car roof where presumably the camera rig is mounted on. I wonder how fast the car can go without creating too much motion blur...well, I certainly don't want to be the guy who has to deal with all the photos they take day by day ;-) <p> <gallery slug="google-street-view-car">Google Street View Car in Cologne</gallery> </p>
