It does feel like they’ve lost a lot of interest in Android. It’s too big for Google to just close, but I could see them selling it. If that happens, hopefully it’s to a Microsoft but chances are they will screw us all and sell it to Oracle or Xiaomi.
But there are a lot of things that will die before Android or Fuschia. Here’s a list of 270 Google projects (past and present)[1]. I learned about Google Sunroof through this list (rooftop solar calculator) and it’s pretty neat.

- jzb 4y agoOne hopes the Google/Oracle relationship is such that Google would sell Android to any company except Oracle.
- criddell 4y agoThe last thing Google wants is a shareholder lawsuit if they sell it at a discount to somebody else.

They don't need to sell Android. They can just let it die on its own in AOSP which is already nonviable without Google's services.
