Google has taken a few lumps over privacy concerns and Google Street View, especially in Japan where some members of the legislature have even taken steps to try and ban Google from mapping the streets and taking photos as they pass through. Google, of course, has stressed that they take very deliberate measures to protect the privacy of the people who are in those photographs as the Google cars drive by, and have put together the adorable video above to target their response to the Japanese market.
Whether the video will serve to allay the fears in Japan over Google simply knowing too much about you, the car you drive, and the place you live remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain: the video is ridiculously cute, incredibly heart-warming (you can’t help but empathize with the little camera-headed guy working long hours to protect your privacy), and targeted perfectly for the Japanese.
