I'm an admirer of Google. My point, which I was being kind of oblique about, is that IMO its not really logical to expect Google to have the same revenue model for a car as they do for the search service. To me it seems totally reasonable that Google would charge for the software. It's an innovative, valuable product. I see no reason why they shouldn't get paid for that.
