The article presents a one-sided story at best. I actually interviewed at Google for "project that shall not be named" in June 2009, with Sebastian Thrun and Chris Urmson (the current head of the project). I could tell the project was already well underway. Although none of them would say anything about, it was pretty clear what they were building. So, while '510' may have played some part, the writer is grossly exaggerating their significance.
