Above is a video created for Google Maps in Japan. It depicts a man with a security camera for a head, going about the daily business of snapping photos of streets and scanning them into a computer for the street view of Google Maps.
The street view function on Google Maps in Japan has received a lot of criticism about invasion of privacy- showing people's faces, mailbox address, license plate numbers, etc. The character in the video is shown erasing this troubling information from the photos, and updating older photos once complaints are received- all in a cute, fun and friendly way.
