    The pittsburg people arranged an appointment with the google streetview team, which is why they were able to prepare.

    Originally the google car wasn't even supposed to go through that alleyway.

    I think that's because this entire project was all arranged with google. Some people must have signed a release or opted out of facial censorship. When I usually use streetview all of the faces I see are censored.
