That's exactly what we're about to get, starting next year thanks to UrtheCast.
Looks like the first step into turning Google Maps imagery from the static photos we've all grown to love, to a real-time video feed that might, someday, offer the same high-resolution... in fully replayable video! ;)
(I know, the privacy implications alone would make it unfeasible for now - not to mention the technical aspects... but one can always dream.)
