Street View images are not in real time

Our images show only what our vehicles were able to see on the day that they drove past the location. Afterwards, it takes at least a few months to process the collected images before they appear online. This means that images that you look at on Street View could be anywhere from a few months to a few years old.Street View contains imagery from public roads, which is no different from what you might see driving or walking down the street. Imagery of this kind is available in a wide variety of formats for cities all around the world.


 In particular cases, Google will partner with an organisation such as Disneyland Paris to schedule imagery collection of their property.We have developed cutting-edge face and licence plate blurring technology that is applied to all Street View images. This means that if one of our images contains an identifiable face (for example, that of a passer-by on the pavement) or an identifiable licence plate, our technology will blur it automatically, meaning that the individual or the vehicle cannot be identified. If our detectors missed something, you can easily let us know.
