Google Earth Street View Question?

On Google Earth Street View, are the pictures taken from a satilite or a mobile unit?|||Found this on the Google Earth Wiki page:





Google Street View





Shows placemarks with 360 degree panoramic views of streets of many cities in Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, the United States, and recently the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and India.

Google Street View is an addition to Maps and shows 360 deg views taken from a mobile camera unit like this:
