Googel Cars....have you seen them???

On my way home from work the other day, I noticed a strange metal tower on top of this guys car. I was surprised to see this car with a google map sticker on the back of it with the little "street view logo" on it. The inner nerd of me was excited. I could see a red light on the top of the car's equipment. Maybe I was recorded along the long stretch of road right? Here's the pic of what the car looks like:

Pretty lame looking right compared to Microsoft. The Microsoft crew looks crazy advanced compared to google. Maybe microsoft will include this high tech video capture into some of their video games. That would rule! Playing a game like GTA (grand theft auto) and driving in my hood. Ha Ha Ha.
Anyways, what's next for Google?
