Ever wonder how Google collects street photos for Google Maps?
This is not a green ice cream truck. This is a Google employee doing his job for Google Maps. Plus getting a bonus workout. Along with some giggles and lots of pointing and hollering at the slightly dorky looking contraption.
But Google, of course, will get the last laugh as...
