No. StreetView is made from photos taken from a special car. I saw the car passing in front of me.

As alluded to by Sylvain, its a feature of google maps. They are getting a lot of flack in countries that have strict privacy laws. One way they are trying to deal with it is through facial recognition software that automatically pixilates faces. Apparently this can lead to humerous results as well, when inanimate objects are incorrectly identified.

Best regards,

One of those cars passed by me in Vancouver _hmm... may be I have been street viewed. Thanks for the post. Nice to see a kilt in Montreal and to see the Sunlife building in the background. My father worked there for years.
