Google Sightseeing blog reports about an interesting incident in Google Street View: a plastic bag blocked Google's camera on a street from Alaska. While the blog suggests that someone placed the bag intentionally to sabotage Google's efforts, it's like that the wind is responsible for this ingenuous imagery.
"The bag remains in place for quite a long way actually - right along College Road, onto the Old Steese Highway and halfway up Minnie Street, where it finally disappears at the junction with Clara Street. Hopefully the discovery of this exciting technique will allow privacy advocates everywhere to finally thwart Google's endlessly evil efforts to provide us all with really useful driving directions!"
It's very likely that bags of some sort are kept over the cameras when they're not in use to protect them from weather/dust/etc. My guess is that sometimes the drivers simply forget to take the bags off.
ReplyDeleteMight be easier to disable the Google Eye with a paintball or two.
ReplyDeleteI really think they should have put a tinfoil hat on the camera instead.
ReplyDeleteI think it was that wily plastic bag from American Beauty.
