Google street view is not only helpful but it has produced many quality blunders that keep us coming back for more. In the latest edition of a Google street view bork up, a Google street view driver tried to drive under a low bridge, the bridge won.In the images below you can clearly see the bridge that the driver tried to go under but in the following pictures you see that the attempt resulted in a bent camera rig as the following pictures are looking straight up.
Google must have a good sense of humor as it tends to leave these kinds of pictures live. They may do it for a good laugh but it also will generate a good amount of traffic to the site too. Either way they continue to provide a weekly laugh that we all need in these stressful economic times.
Note the fact you were not given any credit though. The news posters don't want to be embarrassed they missed it.
I found this on a completely different website; if there's anything I find via Neowin, I give credit
Was the author Ryan Tate. should you post who the author is with the webiste you get it from? just wondering.
Hilarious! Same here, gonna love what's happening to Google Cars!
Click on the first photograph and look at the underpass approach. Notice the car park on the left hand side. Advance one frame.
The camera is now pointing to the sky. Spin your view to the left and you can see the car park and identify a silver Chevrolet SUV parked head-in, and a black Isuzu Rodeo parked tail-in (partially obscured by the tree). Remember the car park and these cars are before the underpass. Spin your camera right to center and advance one frame.
Now the camera is pointing up. Spin the camera one click to the left and you can see the car park and the aforementioned vehicles. Still not into the underpass yet. Spin your camera back to center again and advance one frame.
Now you can see the Isuzu and Chevy SUV's on the left without adjusting the camera angle. Remember: these are BEFORE the underpass. Advance one frame.
The image goes dark as the Google car goes into the underpass. Advance.
Back out the other side. Advance 3 frames.
The camera is set back upright.
Conclusion: The driver stopped, lowered the camera, drove through the underpass, stopped again and raised the camera back up.

Do you seriously think it just 'got bent' then magically repaired itself at the other end? The mount is made of metal, not rubber.
It is.
You release the latch, and it tilts down.
This is the most interesting comment I have read since the article about trolling whilst failing
Lol
But that's I guess the benefit of running your company in such a way that nothing is ever out of BETA.
