Street View is a great feature of Google Maps. The people who make it possible have an interesting job. They attach specialized 360-degree camera rigs to their vehicles. Then they drive thousands of miles of public roads. The cameras automatically snap photos all the way.

What would it be like to take a trip with them? Well, you can see for yourself. All you’d need to do is collect the photos they’ve taken. Then, put them in order and play them like a movie. Or just watch this video. All the hard work has been done for you.
