>I certainly hope Google will find one for glass, their self-driving cars, and other cool hardware projects, but a quick look around all the car manufacturers suggests that Google may once again miss the boat.

I don't know for certain, but I think it's fairly safe to say that the car companies don't have the CS muscle to do proper general self driving.
