If the research organization grows one division that is 95% of the research division due to its success (made up number, not claiming that's where Waymo is), some kind of restructuring will be necessary or the research division won't be a research division anymore.
- nostrademons 7y agoThey already did that with the Alphabet restructuring and spinning Waymo out from Google X into a top-level Alphabet company. Alphabet is a technology conglomerate and doesn't pretend to be anything else. They're like GE or Berkshire Hathaway. There's no issue with GE making washing machines at the same time they make jet engines and nuclear reactors, or with Berkshire Hathaway providing insurance, rail freight, and chocolates. Similarly, there's no issue with Waymo and Google both being subsidiaries of Alphabet.
