Correct! My company is contracted by Google to fetch the images. So technically I am employed by them, not Google directly.

It plays a mix of Christmas songs all throughout the year.
I drive the speed limit always. I rarely record on the highways.
Nope, that's a different kind of Google car.
Kinda thought about that a bit. I don't plan on having this job forever, maybe another year or so. But state law will have to take into affect as well, so that will delay the timeframe.
Got 3 of them in the back seat right now.

I generally just choose points A and B and go from there. Semi-planned, but I can deviate if I want to.
We get those BigHeads posters and hang them up on the wall.
Masks? None that I've seen. I only know about 3 or 4 other drivers, so I'll ask them.
There's so much data to sift through, it takes time from capture-to-post time. Sometimes areas are re-captured while others are left alone.

Maintaing the cameras and equipment mostly. Nothing to extreme, yet nothing exactly all that simple. I can't really go into specifics about the equipment.

Just gotta watch Craiglist. That's how the company contracts the drivers. Sounds weird I know.
