Close Encounter of the Google Street View Camera Car Kind

I know there are lots of photos and discussions about the Google Street View camera cars. But, when I stopped at a intersection to wait for the light to turn green, I noticed one to my left. It was the first time I had seen one of these cars in person. So, I was pretty excited. I took out my Nokia N96 and snapped a pair of photos before the light changed.

You can see the entire car in the first photo and an isolated shot of the cameras and the mount in the second photo immediately above.

I found a collection of Google Street View Car photos (hundreds of photos) on Flickr. You can see other cars in other locations are the world here…
