Mapillary is a company that is building crowd sourced street imagery.

They have a reasonably open license (https://www.mapillary.com/legal.html) and allow OSM to extract information from the photos.

Telenav is rolling out something similar.

They don't really come close to StreetView as far as coverage.

Mapillary needs some sort of camera you can buy for $50-150, put on the top of your car, and take decent resolution 360 degree photos. Then the coverage in major city areas would get completed in a few years.
