Where does google earth get it's street view pictures from?

When I do my parents address you can see their cars in the driveway and the roofers outside! How does google get those pictures?


They aren't current- they are from the summer


(that's when the roofers were there)





Thanks :)|||Google Earth is not Street View. Here's how they get the images for Street View:
