Next step. Make it 3D using Street View. Theoretically, you have enough 3D information in there to detect building collisions. Also, Oculus ;).

There was a Google project that done this. I'd guess five years ago, so before full 3D buildings. Just hills and perhaps certain landmarks.

Or add collisions with stationary vehicles and walls. That would be cool.
