Our faces are not blurred but the camera is far enough away that you can't see our facial features clearly. It's only if you know us would you look at it and say yeah that's you. I don't mind I use Street View all the time when going somewhere I have never been before, let's me know what I should be looking for. I also tell people who are coming to my house to use it to find my house.
