Google maps

Pretty sure my car will be on Streetview. I noticed these really strange poles sticking up in traffic, and sure enough, 2 of Google's contraptions were driving down Deerfoot right by me. I kept next to one of them for quite a while so here's hoping I can have my 15 nanoseconds of fame.

I wonder why they travel in pairs, and how many "shoots" they do of a given street. I can imagine wanting more than just a single shot (just in case), but I wonder how many is adequate to make sure they have good coverage.

For anyone who hasn't seen the cars, they have a 4-5' high post mounted on the roof, and that's what the camera is on. You really can't miss it.
