But they are not 'live'.

I see a market for both, as well as a third system, a travelling real-time
camera that goes around on an self-driven car.  These really nice panorama
helicopter views are great for a nice sparkly clear summer day, perfect
conditions, such as are seldom seen in the actual locations in realtime.

Ja, roadcams for instance.  I use them often:

Ja.  Very cool.  Way better than the future of the past.
