Thanks! I thought the 3D models in Google Maps were just Extremely Clever Math. Lidar and Extremely Clever Math makes more sense.

  It's actually photogrammetry, not LiDAR (or at least, the LiDAR scans aren't done by Street View cars), which is why it's limited only to certain pre-scanned cities instead of everywhere with modern Street View.
