<VV> Vair on Google Maps ~ fogged out the wheel covers too ?

Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.
 
No doubt Google retains the virgin video files.  That is  SOP when the 
originals have huge cost and value.  You never know what the  "auto blur" 
program might do to the resultant product that might cause you to  need the 
original.
 
Though it is likely that Google retains the original video  files, I don't 
believe that they take on the enormous task of associating  license plate 
numbers with addresses with names, etc.  Considering the  embarrassing 
situation Google finds itself in today, I don't think they are  above such things 
but doing what you suggest would take incredible resources  with little value.
 
With that said, I suppose there is some use for license plate  vs. location 
vs. time of day info.  The police might be interested in  so-and-so's 
Rampside being parked in front of a house at the time it was robbed  or a private 
eye interested in someone's infidelity.  ......... not  that any Corvair 
person would ever be involved in such sordid activities.   Lets just say the 
Google video would be used as the Corvair owner's alibi to  clear them of 
suspicion.  ;-)

One might infer from Google's Privacy  Policy that even though they blur 
the numbers in the published photos, they  retain the data.  So, somewhere in 
Googles very large database there is  info on your Corvair's license plate 
number associated with whatever other  info Google has about you.  --J.B.
