Spotted the google car today in Abbotsford going towards my building as I was leaving.
It's a red 4 dr cobalt I believe. It has this huge 5-7 foot long pole coming from the middle of the roof of the car and then the 4 cameras. One dude was driving it. I wonder how the system works.. if it automatically takes pictures as he is driving it, or does it manually have to shoot the photos.
I should have thrown him the finger or something haha
The car also has a small google logo on the front doors.
