I was gonna say Google Drive, but wow, it's nearly four years old at this point. Still, don't you think self-driving cars are going to be a huge success?

- greglindahl 11y agoNo. If the only potential customers are huge car companies, they're going to prefer to build their own self-driving car tech to paying a high price for Google's.
- raldi 11y agoIsn't that what they said about phones before 2007?
- funwithjustin 11y agoThat's hilarious. Most American car companies can barely build cars, let alone self-driving cars.
- visarga 11y agoThey are not going to come so soon, the fully automated ones. I have watched with interest for years the Google Self Driving Car project and they release very little actual information about the stage they are at and the problems they are solving.
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoIf self-driving cars are a huge success as a technology, it won't be from Google. Google is incredibly bad at developing things where humans need to be involved. (See also: Try to get customer service for most Google products.) Google has basically glossed over the fact that their cars fail every 1,560 miles and focused on their "1.4 million miles driven" figure. They're pushing an agenda of eliminating the human driver from their prototypes, even though their cars would be incredibly dangerous without them. Meanwhile, other companies are focusing on ways to make the UX of self-driving cars safe and comforting for humans to interact with: http://www.fastcodesign.com/3054330/innovation-by-design/the-secret-ux-issues-that-will-make-or-break-autonomous-cars http://www.fastcodesign.com/3054330/innovation-by-design/the...
