In the wake of mistakenly collecting Wi-Fi payload informatio n, Google announced that they would no longer use their Street View cars to collect information on the locations of Wi-Fi networks. Yesterday, the company released a report on Street View and it stated that “collection is discontinued and Google has no plans to resume it.” The issue as to whether or not Google would find out why the cars were collecting the data, rectify it and than resume using the cars was up in the area since the discovery this summer, but this statement by privacy commissioner, Jennifer Stoddart, seems to lay it all to rest .
