After a brief, subsequent exchange with co-host Kathleen Parker, Schmidt laughed, making it unclear whether the remark was made in jest.
The executive added in reference to Street View that "the important point is we only do it once," and that "this is not a monitoring situation."
Schmidt continued: "We're very careful to not have real-time information about where people are."
