Have you ever actually seen a Google Earth car roaming around and capturing souls with its sophisticated camera technology? Nylon has a photo of one that was seen on Mercer and Houston streets in SoHo yesterday. They note, "The wild contraptions above the car record the latitute, longitute, and elevation of every place the car goes, while the camera snaps… well, you know, you’ve stalked your friends’ houses on Google Earth a million times before." Currently you can't go down Mercer on Google Maps, so we're guessing that's all about to change, and finally the world can glance upon yet another SoHo street.
