Google Map car hits a deer and records it all

[sportsmedjosh]

Google has responded and states "the deer was able to move and had left the area by the time the police arrived".

It's a sad fact that deer get hit by cars everyday but not everyday does a Google Maps car hit a deer and record the event. It's a sad fate for the deer but the entire event was recorded and uploaded to the live version of Google Maps.

The Google employee had to have known that they hit the deer but the more interesting thought is why did they proceed to upload the images? Is Google that determined to be the first to map the roads by street view that they don't care what goes live on their site?

Regardless this can be added to the long list of odd and funny things that have been caught on Google Maps.

How slow do their vehicles drive when doing these "street view" routes? I would imagine that they travel at the posted limit and it automatically uploads the images. Then if there's a problem they have to go back and pull them out. It's kind of like it being easier to ask for forgiveness rather than get permission.

the street view stuff is awesome, this is just a reason to make some more venison jerky.

The images have been removed. Google the address and move around in Street View.
