 I think this shows us how Google presents its results accoording to your location or language preferences. Street Smart, by Dutch firm Cyclomedia, popped up as the first result when I did the same search.

 There is a Dutch firm called The People Group that has a plugin.

 You shouls ask if they still support V8i

 Good sleuthing! My Google search for StreetSmart/SmartStreet turned up nothing. Brockwell claim to have plug-ins for MicroStation and another CAD product.

 We know next to nothing: you should contact Brockwell or Cyclomedia. 
 You might like to post the same question on the Bentley Map Forum , where there's more knowlege of GIS tools.

Thanks Ivo Blaauw, for mentioning our Optimize Street Smart plugin to enable integration with Cyclomedia Street Smart API. 
 We indeed have a plugin available for the Bentley CONNECT Edition platforms such as MicroStation CE, OpenRoads Designer and OpenCities Map etc.. 
 As a software integration, our Optimize Street Smart Connector is only compatible with Bentley CONNECT Edition (CE). We do not support versions of MicroStation v8(i). 
 We have made our tooling compatible with all international coordinate systems where Cyclomedia data is also available. We have posted a short demo of the operation of the tooling on YouTube ( www.youtube.com/watch ) 
 For more information about our Optimze Tooling please refer to our website (www.thepeoplegroup.nl). 
 If you have any other questions about this you can also contact our support department (support@thepeoplegroup.nl). 
 Regards,

You haven't told us what version of Microstation your using which is very naughty here! 
 From what little I could find street smart is a google map application that lets you add and customise google maps.. we can't really do this in microstation apart from making it a screen capture and using it as a raster file.. personally your better off using Google Earth pro integration and there is a lot of Bentley docs on how to capture the imagery and make it geo referenced. 
 In CE you can raster ref attach the Bing Maps direct. 
 But in V8i you will need to get a Microsoft key and edit your workspace config variables this works pretty nice when you have all the set up set properly.. also Bentley docs on this is available too.

While you are at it can you tell us what you want to do with it .. be very specific don't just say I want to use it as others have pointed out we don't know what your talking about , we have never used what your talking about , and I don't believe it is a bentley product or even an integrated product like Google Earth pro ( free app) or BingMaps ( also free)... 
 We may be able to give you a work around work flow if you provide more information... 
 Have you contacted the creators of "Street Smart " and asked them how to use it? 
 Is it available as a WMS perhaps then you could just attach via raster WMS..? 
 As a rule when posting here more intel means better answers and never assume we do what you do or know what you do! 
 a few minutes later............ 
 ok a 3 second google search for wms and street smart returned some interesting information.. it is mostly used in GIS but has a WMS component 
 https://www.innovyze.com/en-us/blog/using-web-map-services-wms-in-infoworks-icm-infoworks-ws-pro-and-infonet 
 If the WMS doesnt work for you then you cannot use it with microstation you can use it with ArcGis, and MapInfo ( my personal favourite GIS ) not sure if it will work in Qgis ( free) you might need an addon.. and it may even work with Bentley Map but this is a steep learning curve package and much more expensive than all mentioned prior including Microstation. So you need to get advice from Bentley if and how to use it in Bentley Map BTW there is also another forum for Bentley Map. 
 The forum you posted to is a Microstation only forum.

After a bit of searching I have found that Street Smart is from a company called Cyclomedia . Street Smart is an interactive web viewer for all Cyclomedia content, including GeoCycloramas and point clouds. 
 A company named Brockwell IT Consulting had a MicroStation plug-in for Street Smart, but it looks like they may have been acquired by Esri and their website is no longer available. Here's a link to an archive of the Brockwell IT website. 
 I think this is now a question for Esri or Cyclomedia.
