Google has rolled out there answer to Microsoft Live Map's Birds Eye View, and they are calling it Street View. I took it for a test drive today and went around South Beach and it kinda felt like I was in the back of a car driving around. Some things were annoying like the fact that as you navigate down a street, typically the same car is in the same scene.
I am sure that Google will continue to add lots more streets soon, but right now I still think that Microsoft's Birds Eye View has the upper hand based on available areas of coverage.

lol I guess I'm the only one that thinks that this step is a little too... up close and personal. Could you imagine looking out your living room window only to see a weird looking car with a guy taking a picture of your street... or a guy standing behind a 360 degree camera in the middle of the street holding up traffic. Maybe it's a van with "Google Maps" on the side with a bunch of cameras on top.
Looks like they found a pictures of... check out this post: http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/31/the-google-street-view-vehicle-revealed/
