Yet there's countless that haven't been censored (and thats just me looking quickly).
Really dodgy...
For example, I look on google maps, find a car same as mine, same colour - nick it's reg number - get a number plate made online and then i can drive around with no insurance, stealing fuel from forecourts etc.
You would probably be quicker going for a drive.

Yeah. I reckon they aim to cover the whole country. And then, probably the whole world.
Think how cool sat nav will be with this sort of technology.

There have been loads of partnerships about getting this in built in sat navs, think I remember BMW being quite heavily involved.

The astra drove by me when I had my clio but it's not showing that bit yet.
It drove by me on the motorway that is included but I can't remember what car I was driving.

this IS awesome!
although it will take the fun out of my job slightly - no more site visits!
eventually, the whole of the UK will be mapped out - and google are working on add-ons for it.

Yip one i've seen about Glasgow was black.
The cameras looked a bit tidier than that as well, that looks like they've just stuck some on a pole.
