When Street View first launched in May 2007, Google used vans driving on public streets around the world to capture images with integrated GPS devices. Now Google cameras have been adapted to cars and special 3-wheeled tricycles.
Once the photographs have been taken they then go through computer processing to make them ready for showing on Google Maps and Google Earth. Google takes all the individual photos that have been collected by the cameras and "sew" them together to make the 360° panorama photo that you see on Street View.
Google applies "cutting-edge" face blurring technology, which helps make sure that passers-by in the photographs can't be identified. Google also blurs legible license plates.

Why did street view disappear with Google Earth 6?
Here is one of Google's announcements of ending Street View support for Google Earth versions 5.x and older. "With the most recent update to Google Earth (6.2), we are also finalizing our transition to a new method of delivering Street View imagery in Google Earth. This means, that the older versions of Google Earth (anything before 6.0) will no longer be able to access Street View. We held off making this change until now, when the vast majority of Google Earth users are on 6.0 (or later)." -- Google Jan 2012. Basically, Google decided to improve the Street View interfaces which would be implemented in the current versions of Google Earth for desktop and mobile platforms rather than keep supporting the older (less efficient) method of accessing Street View.
