Their closely fitted pants and button-downs project composure and sophistication, despite the men's blurred-out faces.

Google Street View began in 2007 when Google placed a GPS device, cameras and lasers on top of an SUV and drove around collecting photos. Street View cars are now much more recognizable than they were at the beginning.
