      Yes, it’s bssid (the wifi mac address) which is collected by streetview cars as they pass by.

        Back when I researched this (which, as mentioned previously, was a long time ago), it was just the SSID. Possibly (probably) they were also collecting the BSSID but I don’t think they were publicly admitting it at that time.
