While biking down Avenue De l’Hotel-de-Ville in the Plateau-Mont Royal area I spotted an Ontario license plate car that had the now infamous 360° Google camera mounted on top of it. The car also had a Dell PC monitor in the front passenger seat. I took a photo of the car, which I’m including in this post.
