Seeing this funny video reminded me of the time the Google StreetView van stopped outside my apartment. I asked the driver what was wrong, but he was not very forthcoming -- despite the fact he was photographing absolutely everything and everyone around him (on second thought, this might explain his evasiveness).

Next to these excellent photos of the Google Van and hardware (including some self-portraits and a glimpse of the Google Beetle) I add my own blurry cameraphone pic, on the right.
