When you say "a key component of Street View", which part is it a key component of? Snapping vehicle track data to existing roads? 3D model computation for scene-to-scene jumps? Both?
If you're snapping track data to roads, how do you deal with areas where you have no existing data? Do you take into account aerial imagery?

Google Street View was filmed at 30fps video format. You can generate a 2D route map directly from it without GPS or when GPS is not available.
I took some notes during the StreetView Q&A on reddit two years ago: http://blog.est.im/archives/554
Unfortunately we can't talk much about this; sorry.
