It's not vaporware if Google never promised anything for consumers; it has been Silicon Valley's drooling mouth-breathing press outlets that perpetuated this crap, feeding the hubris of their audience (consisting of people who think a landing page and a vague idea is a product) who believe they can make better vehicles than established manufacturers.
