We’ve all thought about it – how do you get hired to be driver of a Google street view car? And the truth is … it’s harder than you think. Not even Google jobs has information about the street view positions, but people who have talked to the drivers in the past have been putting up a sort of “guide” on how to get picked up by the Google Street View team. For starters, Google works with a lot of “partners” that provide drivers and images for them. Pier Far had the chance to meet with one of the drivers as he was doing a pass by. The driver of the streeview-mobile said that he showed up to a location for a “driving job”. It wasn’t until after he was given the keys to the car that he realized it was the, now famous and most recognizable “Easter egg” in the world, Google Street view car.
