Google ’s spent zillion of dollars charge its Street View cars around the human beings , photographing street so you’re able to see them on the net . And now you could duplicate this for some reasonableness .

It ’s sure enough impressive , and I can see how one could want to make Street - vista - like look-alike of private property . But for most of us , I think letting Google do the threatening lifting is working out just fine . [ IEEE SpectrumviaMake ]
