    Look closer. They have the vehicle shadow they're in blurred out. I wonder why?

    False. Just like they blur faces they also blur the vehicle (try looking down, you'll never see the vehicle). They just don't care too much about shadows or reflections. And why is this just now getting so much coverage? It was first "discovered" in March.
