Not to kick the guy that's down, but "I wish we had more recent streetview, OH I KNOW lets build a totally autonomous car" sounds to me somewhat like "people want their postal mail online. OH I KNOW lets send somebody to every house and pick up the mail the mailman left."
Not unlike the experience for drivers on Lyft and UberX it would be trivial for Google to create a rig and an app. You set the magnetic camera rig on your roof and sign in. It shows you available routes and how much they'll pay for them. The offer increases every so often if nobody selects the route. Done.
