Imagine if apple allowed its ios users to do this with their iPhone to record video and suit it to help with 3d mapping and get their own street view going? It wouldn't cost them anything.
When I live in Central Florida, Google photographed my then 12 year old daughter riding her ripstick in the front of our house. Up until recently ( the past year), whenever I would do a street level view of my old house, we would see our daughter atop her ripstick in front of it.
