Where does google earth get its street views from?

Answer 1

There's actually a car they drive around with a camera mounted on top that takes a 360 shot of the area they want to create the street-view panorama. They use multiple cars all sponsored by Google. Here's a picture taken of one of the cameras on top of the car.
